Subject: [eqbards] Played a little last night.


Got my linux box setup with my cable modem late yesterday, and I
had to test out Everquest over the link ;-) Plus I'm allowed to
play a little bit (since I proved I could in fact not play for an
extended time)

And I noticed two things. (sorry if these were pointed out before)

1) When fighting ice goblin casters and the ice giant diplomat
I lost my mystic shielding or elemental icon immediately
during any spell attack. This probably applies to all spells
from all NPCs, just stated what I fought for reference.

an ice goblin evoker casts a spell.
You feel an aura of _____ protection.
Your aura fades.
You convulse as lightning surges through your body.
You feel an aura of _____ protection.
You feel an aura of _____ protection.
an ice goblin evoker casts a spell.
Your aura fades.
Your skin ignites.

It's really ridiculous, any spell that hits me cancels the
resist shield from the song. It's like not playing any
protection song at all, because everything hits for full
since the shield drops due to the attack.

2) Charm has lost it's mem blur component. This was clearly
evident when I charmed 3 ice goblins after beating them
down to almost no health to let a lower level player gain
exp from them. I got the kill all three times.

If someone pointed these out before, sorry to reiterate.

Also, starting fresh again after all this time made me notice
the stamina drain from the zone you originally start in, and
that safe fall is still not activated in the zone you login to.
I had zero stamina and took 300-400 dmg from running across
everfrost when I logged in. Do they simply not realize the bugs?

Harmonic.
