Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Mar 22, 21 From Brak: Make it easier for newbies without the searching skill to find hidden doors and exits in low level zones. (Morpheus) From Draak: Add infrastructure to add landmarks, seaports, forges, banks and certain shops to the dclient map. The cold damage from icebolt, frostflower and chill touch is enhanced by watery terrain, though not as aggressively as cone of cold. Bumped breath of life up in the parser, so it should trigger before bravery. If you cast flame blade and mystic armament without a target, they will attempt to bind to ammo in your inventory. The higher your casting level, the more ammo they will bind to. (Iliothro) Knapping has been tied more closely with lapidary. It will now only work with lapidary materials that have a conchoidal fracture (this includes all forms of quartz and many other minerals including jade, peridot, obsidian and azurite). Higher difficulty materials will create stone tools with higher hitrolls. Knapped tools are flagged fragile (see below). Fragile-flagged weapons are more easily disarmed, and fragile-flagged weapons and shields are more easily sundered. By popular demand, archery contest winners can participate in archery contests, but they cannot upset the scoring or win again until their bull's eye boon expires. https://bit.ly/3lD2EeD

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Mar 07, 21 From Brak: Minor tweaks to soulsteal code. Spam filter updates: Add object custom wear strings to spam wear. Add skirmish and flourish to spam gfighting. Add players hiding to spam extreme. Add earth wall to gcast. Add taps and store power to spam gcast. Add timeouts and fades to spam misc. Add turn to spam extreme. Add "appears to be blinded" messages to spam extreme. Move sanc dropping on mobs from spam extreme to gcast. This is so leaders can see it when mobs are dispeled. (Colonel) From Mutt: All four types of mage elementals have been moved from being ordinary cast spells, to using the 'summon' command similar to necromancer demons. We've also be added explicit lower level skills for lesser elemental summoning to help mid level players. More powerful elementals are now dependent on the lesser skills, but if you've already learned how to summon a minion you'll still be able to without the lesser skills. From Valront: Require '-force' to give away a container that isn't empty. (Morpheus) Fixed triple fail string send in remorse. (Mertag) Minor typo clean up in a few places (Thanks Uicli and Shryth) https://bit.ly/3ceXRMd

Alter Aeon March 2021 Update

We hope everyone enjoyed our Valentine's Eve Massacre death march last month! Our next event will be the Spring Festival. This event will begin on Friday, March 19th and end on Monday, March 22nd. Among other exciting event quests and activities, we'll be releasing the jungle area we used for the death march as a new level 44 group 15 zone. Here are some highlights from last month's updates: - Tuesday archery contests are now operational! Contests will be held periodically throughout the day every Tuesday. - Minor cleanup and additions to the Field of Fonts. - Being dazed/stunned now instills a penalty to dexterity. - The “value” command can now directly target objects, and it can still be used with shopkeepers as well. - Ebon adamantine is now dark adamantine, to prevent parsing conflicts with ebon mithril. - Crafting sampler lootcrates now come with a skin, hide, pelt or shell. - The ability for builders to add randomized crafting supplies to containers has been added, so you may come across stashes of hides, boards, metal ingots and more. - ‘Afflict’ now lowers spellsave for both ethereal and corporeal targets. This makes afflict more consistent and useful for making targets vulnerable to follow-up curses. - Changes to strings and the help page for bloodletting stab to reflect the fact that you can rip into enemies with your hands if you're wearing hand equipment with the right dtype. - A new spell called 'scorch' has been added to replace the fireball spell, and greater fireball has become the new fireball. - Another addition was that of entropy for a god's preferred element, which engages the poison damage type for related spells. Here are some planned updates for March: - Builders will have the capability of generating randomized areas. This will primarily be used for events. - We’ll be adding another Thirsty Thursday task or two, including a possible bout of drunken target shooting. - Alter Aeon’s official client, the dclient, has audio stack and music fading code is in place, and we are hard at work setting up routines to handle music for players and produce a soundtrack for the game. - We’ll be will be smoothing over stone knapping code and tying it more tightly to lapidary defines. This is part of a longer term program to make the crafting code more cohesive and readable.

(Colonel) Cleric unusual curses split out of tribulation spellgroup, forming divine wrath spellgroup. (Dentin) Continual light is now critical, and only costs 1 practice. https://bit.ly/3l32ahH
