My rogue has 5 pairs, so he'd love to be able to umd/use clickies/etc while under the effect

If you ask him, every healer, bard and caster with extended haste on Khyber, possibly those on other servers too.

[QUOTE=MadFloyd;4293532]Madstone Rage will not be changing with U13.

Regardless of what you see on Lamannia today, when U13 goes live there will be no change compared to what's on live today.

Thanks again for all your feedback. [/quote]

Bullshit...  it's great news.  Leave my boots the fuck alone.

Sad for my Pally, better than the change for my monk.  Really liked the idea of madstone rage suppressing metamagics (but not turning them off, let that SP get wasted).

the correct fix to this was to change the way torches work not some halfass fix that changes established gameplay mechanics to work around their incredibly poor planning

then leave it alone? somehow we survived without the change up until now I suspect we can make it bit longer without ritual suicide becoming the only option

While what you say is true in some cases, it's not in this case mostly because you lack a fundamental understanding of the issue and software development.


Back, when the game released it had all the same potions it does now but they were all self only.  This led to a running joke about the usefulness of a Remove Paralysis potion that you can't use bacuse you are paralyzed.  So, the devs went out and fixed potions...by making potions spell actions.  The result is that you can use them on other people simple fix.  Well, six years later numerous items still use this same fundamental hack.  Which I believe has lead to numerous bugs and other issued because if your only tool is a hammer...

So, yeah, in some cases you maybe right fix the item.  In this case, no, it well past the time where they modify the engine so clickies, potions, and misc. have their own action types and aren't just hacked in a spells.

To play off of this, Eladiun, is that really a priority right now?  I agree, it's a kludge and something that they ought to work on fixing in the long term, but they're currently rolling out a huge, exciting expansion and are basically catering to the player's needs all over the place in U13.  It seems like a bad time to dig that deeply into the system and implement a new feature that is absolutely, 100% guaranteed to have at least a few minor bugs and probably a few major bugs, no matter how much QA tests it. 

There probably isn't ever a good time to fix something like that, to be honest.  The system that's in place works fine with very few exceptions, and those exceptions could be fixed if people weren't all whiny about their precious boots.
