_____________________

*** Items ***

- Fixed an issue that prevented focus effects on items that increase incoming healing from functioning as expected. Ex: Whispering Midnight Soothing, Blazing Euphoria Soothing.
- Stone of Tranquility will no longer drop from NPCs greater than level 114.
- Changed the attack animation for Blueogre's Blue Bastard Of Heroism Ornament to 1 hand to better fit the fact that it works in any weapon.
- Added Ondine Hero's Forge ornaments to Brilliant Jade.
- Increased the drop rate of Exultant Inhabited Muhbis and the following augments: Fate's Accumulator, Weeping Heaven, Secret Dawn, Whispering Midnight, and Blazing Euphoria.
- Increased the drop rate of several pieces of gear that drop from rare monsters in the Plane of Disease.
- The Burning Lands version of Nature's Fury now generates less hate.


*** Tradeskills ***

- Specified the class on emblems to match the class of the armor it makes, for easier classification.
- Adjusted old-style research drop tables.
- - Increased the chance to receive recipe components.
- - Decreased the chance to receive cash drops.
- - For example: Words of Possession is more likely to drop and Exquisite Platinum Embossed Rune is less likely to drop.


*** Quests And Events ***

- Unfettered Emerald Excellence - Made the following changes to this raid event:
- - Fixed a bug that incorrectly allowed slow, root, and snare effects to land on the mephits and armors.
- - Reduced the melee damage output from the mephits.
- - Waves of mephits will no longer spawn during the window of time when it's necessary to flee to the correctly colored wing to avoid being struck by Elemental Incompatibility.
- Mechagnomic Whirlrender (Group and Raid) - Made the following changes:
- - The ballistae can no longer be reduced to negative health by the aerial combatbots.
- - Fixed a bug that shortened how long the boss was in its attackable state by 5 seconds.
- - NPCs will no longer refer to the boss as the Mechagnomatic Whirlrender.
- - Ratchet Bronzehead is now on beta neutral faction.
- - Ratchet Bronzehead can no longer be attacked.
- - Added a speculative fix to prevent the boss from tethering when it flies back into the sky.
- Gnome Memorial Mountain: Danger Zone (Raid) - Entering the zone should now place you near the current raid.
- The Darkness Howls and Ironing Out the Legion no longer share a lockout, so doing one will not prevent you from doing the other.
- Spear of Fate - Added a new path to Erud's Crossing that Ooglyn will follow to get out into the ocean so that she doesn't meander around the island for several minutes, heading in the wrong direction, before her long swim.
- Gram Dunnar no longer prevents adventurers from getting the benefits of telling him stories if the storyteller already has 30 or more AA points.


*** Spells ***

- NPCs will now remember damage credit when blurred or charmed.
- When the owner of a charmed pet teleports, charm will break.
- Translocation spells can no longer be activated or accepted while in combat.
- Magician - Made the following changes to fire pets:
- - While Frenzied Burnout is active, the pet will cast their Elemental Bolt spell additional times instead of casting Frenzied Elemental Bolt spells.
- - Pets summoned with higher foci will do more damage with their Elemental Bolt spells.


*** NPCs ***

- NPCs spawned by old-style quests are now loot locked.
- - An NPC that is loot locked is indicated by an asterisk preceding their name and an added '(loot locked)' to their consider message.
- - The NPC is loot locked to the player who did the turn in for thirty minutes.
- - During this window if the NPC is killed by anyone, the player who spawned it will be given kill credit and have access to the loot.
- - These NPCs will not reward experience.
- - If the player who spawned the NPC is not in the zone but is in a group or raid, then the group or raid will receive kill credit and the original player will have access to the loot when zoning back in.
- - If the player is not in the zone and is not part of a group or raid, then kill credit is handled normally (as if the NPC is not loot locked). Normal loot rules apply after the NPC is killed.


*** Progression Servers ***

- Corrected an issue where you could not open the Extended Target Window after reaching level 20.


*** Miscellaneous ***

- Added a potential fix for corpses not saving properly when moved.
- The Advanced Loot Window now displays the correct luck values when multiple copies of the same item with different luck values are listed.
- Removed the no longer in use command /survey.
- Relaxed some overly strict naming rules in regards to multiple consonants in a row.
- The preview model displayed when placing an NPC in a real estate should now more closely match the appearance of the NPC when placed.
- Moved a collectible spawn in the Temple of Droga so that it is accessible.
- Fixed grammar and spelling in Arms of Power and Arms of Power II tribute descriptions.
- Removed the word (Temporary) from the seasonal Appreciation Bonus achievements.
- Made the following changes to Guild Banners and Fellowship Campfires in an effort to improve their usability and the desirability of the buffs they grant:
- - Consolidated all buffs and tiers into a single 'empowered' banner/campfire that grants the combined effects of all the previous options; with the ability to choose whether you want the empowered banner/campfire to also offer an illusion effect.
- - Increased the duration of the empowered banner/campfire from 1 hour to 6 hours to match the duration of the non-empowered version.
- - Increased the distance that the empowered banner/campfire will grant its buff from 100 to 1000 feet.
- - Simplified the various tiers and types of banner/campfire components down to 2 items: 'Guild Banner Materials' and 'Fellowship Campfire Materials'.
- - Items previously used as banner/campfire components have been flagged as deprecated and have been changed to allow you to sell them back to a merchant to recoup their initial value.


*** UI ***

- Fixed an issue that caused formatting data to be printed to log files when considering a rare creature.
- Fixed a bug with the advanced loot window that prevented 'Link All' from functioning.
- The Spell Damage filter should be working again.
- - Spell damage messages from NPCs casting on others now display resist type and the spell name, and the spell emote is displayed on a separate line, similar to player direct damage spells.
- - Scripted spell damage dealt to other players is now visible.
- The chat filter for Pet Spells now respects if you have Pet Spells set to hide in the options.
- Corrected an issue where kill shots were not being reported.

Hurry up and patch the gmae my mawntain dew is gettn warm and hot pockets r gettinggg coldd...boy you kan relly tell EQ Mule'ss father wass A donkeee...slow as molasssass in January and even more stuborn,... /s
 
Hey guys I'm new here. I'm guessing the devs need to update MQ2 after every patch? Is that why it's not working right now? I keep getting an error message that says something about the time and date being incorrect.

Also, how long does it normally take to patch and where do I find update info?

Thanks!

Every time DBG forces you to download a new .exe file MQ2 will break. That happens at every monthly patch day and sometimes randomly throughout the month. Expect MQ2 to be wonky for a couple of weeks after expansions.

Usually, eqmule has MQ2 back up and running within 24-48 hours. Sometimes shit happens (or changes, as it were) and it takes a little longer.

Also, new ish. But I was able to do the patch via the red guides update but I still get the error message for date and time being different
 
I am wondering if this is just a date/time issue. Can this just be changed in a folder to match the current eq date and get back up an running?
 
or is there a specific reason why there isnt an autoupdate when you load mq2 to read the version date/time of eq and match it and move on?

Has the update been posted, yet?

If it hasn’t, then you’d have a version error.

You have to manually update each time by running the updater. Just opening MQ2 doesn’t patch it like it may have on another site or like it may here in the future.
 
So already ran updater, says that it is up to date. Unlike earlier when it said that the update wasn't ready yet. Still getting date and time error
 
MQ2 expected eqgame Date and Time to be: May 20 2019 12:50:50
But eqgame's Date and Time is: June 13 2019 09:58:49
Do you need to patch one of them?
Loading of MQ2 can not be completed.

Getting same error apparently, think there is a number off somewhere it is today June 19 (6-19 vs 5-20 or 6-13)
 
I was getting that, the it patched, but wasn't working. Now its back to the eq patch day thing, so im assuming its being worked on
 
@Katiekaboom MQ2 expected eqgame date and time to be ---This is the date associated with the eqgame.exe, IE: Everquest itself. So in your case, it's expecting the eqgame to be dated for May 20th.
but eqgame's date and time is: ---This is the actual date and time of the current eqgame.exe, listed as June 13th (3 days ago) that means that the copy of MQ2 that you have is for the 20th of May patch, but you're using a copy of EQ for the 13th of June patch, and thus they are not the same dates. Once the patch has been posted to MQ2 and EQ, then you should update both MQ2 and EQ so that they are both on the same page.

Sometimes the file eqgame.exe will have a date different than the actual patch date, IE: Presumably the 13th of June file has been on the boards for release for 3 days and is now sent to the patcher. So you've updated and now we need to wait on MQ2 to get updated to match.
 
What’s the point of explorer achievements? Does it increase run speed? And isn’t it nullified with run speed AAs anyway

- The Darkness Howls and Ironing Out the Legion no longer share a lockout, so doing one will not prevent you from doing the other.

Ooh, cool. Never tried Ironing Out the Legion. Is it as easy as Darkness Howls? This could change my evening's plans until gold runs out on my crappy toons...

The mobs, individually, are about the same difficulty. However, Ironing Out The Legion has a couple points where the mission can be failed.
