1 handed dmg bonus - 23th Sept update

It's a major issue because, its a fix that wasn't needed on live, and it absolutely TLP melee.

"Lets buff mobs by 3x their initial hp"
"Lets also add in a 40% mitigation buff for spells and melee"
"Lets add a melee buff! At 60 you can now do 40% more damage!"
"Lets completely redefine the way DB is calculated, and in doing so, nerf sub-80 Damage bonus that effects dps and aggro"
"Oh, its parsed and been mentioned a thousand times this week, including multiple threads dealing with the issue. Lets not wait! MUST PUSH LIVE NOW!"

Not true

Accidentally lowering the damage bonus on our weapons did not come close to a 50% reduction in rogue damage. Don't make sh*t up.

All that it would take to fix this is adding code to make it where the new formula only applies if it's value is greater than the old formula's value... If X2 > X then X = X2... Something as simple as that should allow for the buff to high end without the negative impact to lower levels.

I cannot understand, why someone does this to TLP players, while we are even the only ones paying a monthly fee for this s... nice new feature

Did you seriously just use the justification of "oh that's how it's been since Classic" so don't mess with it for changes on current TLP? LOLOL

That is hilarious.

that is part of the appeal of the TLP servers. The more that is changed the less appealing they will be.

The damage bonus table is literally a staple of EverQuest, in which 16 years of knowledge and gameplay have been based around. Its not just because it was "Classic", its because the game is built around it, and changing it without even testing it, is a pretty damn big deal.

Exactly. It's almost like I'm playing a different game that looks like EQ but isn't.

Can we please get something official on if/when we can expect a fix to the "buff that nerfed us?"

Something official would be nice please...

DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND HOW MANY PAGES ON ALLAKHAZAM ARE GOING TO BE NEEDING UPDATES!?

The horror.....the horror...........

bump, because we need answers from DBG and it is getting buried by stupid posts like "why can't I play a beastlord"

I think DBG said that once the patch happens they will monitor the changes on TLP servers and make adjustments if necessary. This was in the patch thread on the Norrathian Herald or whatever it is called.

Honestly from what I heard they don't really follow problems reported through forums as much as
https://dgcissuetracker.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11500

Wow so thats the list of priorities. Seems this subject isnt even listed that I can see.
So who has to be bribed to get it on the list?

Test Update

So we should see that towards the end of October? Heh =(

Holly tweeted that we will be getting a patch sooner than that.

Servers coming down to fix this.
