I spent 6 hours at work (what do they pay me for?)&lt;br&gt;today and expect to spend many more going through Kyldiss in great&lt;br&gt;detail. Sucks for me, because now I won't get to really do the rest &lt;br&gt;of the quests I was too lazy to do. But good for you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I won't go into detail about what I'm changing other than so say the&lt;br&gt;main thrust of my activities is a long-overdue QC. Fixing typoes,&lt;br&gt;code errors (!!), and making the quests more of a &quot;hansel and gretel&quot;&lt;br&gt;follow the breadcrumbs experience, rather than blind guesses. Ideally,&lt;br&gt;each objective should have something that points you in tat direction.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For those who'd been meddling around in Kyldiss you'll know I had&lt;br&gt;already been making some of these changes; such as removing instances &lt;br&gt;where you could get the exact syntax right for a quest objective but&lt;br&gt;the code had an in-built failure rate. This is just going to be &lt;br&gt;more systematic, and probably take me a damn sight more time. &lt;br&gt;Conspiracy theorists among you will now be able to point dramatically&lt;br&gt;to this day and say: &quot;I KNEW that was his plan!&quot;. I'd like to note&lt;br&gt;that The Man *is* out to get you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mercury and I have recently changed some of the buff items in &lt;br&gt;Kyldiss. For those who don't know, there are a number of items&lt;br&gt;for non-humanoid subclasses (specifically, horrors, feys and undead).&lt;br&gt;The two skill buffs on each have been reduced down to 1 skill buff,&lt;br&gt;and the levels of their owners (generally, other than for a certain&lt;br&gt;set of monsters) increased, but in keeping with the general Tsunami &lt;br&gt;approach of 'great risk, grea reward', these items are _now safeable_.&lt;br&gt;I'll be adding some monster buff items around the mud, but not&lt;br&gt;necessarily Kyldiss, in the near future.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I encourage you to get out and grab these items to try them out. &lt;br&gt;Then again... I see many non-humanoids not using a freely available &lt;br&gt;and very easy to use buff I put in just recently - guild offer rooms -&lt;br&gt;so perhaps you just don't care!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I also found out that someone inadvertently super-nerfed the Spear&lt;br&gt;of Sorrow during one of the many changes to it. It was essentially&lt;br&gt;functioning as a completely normal weapon. So, upside? It's fixed.&lt;br&gt;Downside? You tough dudes who took down Zurreal while he had a&lt;br&gt;crappy weapon - don't expect it to be so easy next time. *OW*.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think I'll leave you with one parting hint:&lt;br&gt;Kyldiss is far, far, far more dangerous for the bigger players.&lt;br&gt;Within reason (noting it IS a hero area), taking a smaller PC&lt;br&gt;into Kyldiss is a safer prospect. Parties don't hurt either.br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
