Although&lt;br&gt; it looks and feels pretty much the same for a player it is infact&lt;br&gt; completely new class behind the scenes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: The wu-jen sphere/spell room is gone?!&lt;br&gt;A: Yeah, I baked it into the shadow. You can now learn spells and&lt;br&gt; spheres wherever you are.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: Why don&#039;t &#039;help spheres&#039; and &#039;spheres&#039; command work.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A: It&#039;s replaced by &#039;wulist&#039; which all wu-jens can use at any time.&lt;br&gt; I like the appearance of the spheres command so I might put it&lt;br&gt; back again ust for variation of appearance. Need a slight recode&lt;br&gt; though.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: Why is my spells removed when I login?&lt;br&gt;A: Everytime you login a check is made to make sure all wu-jen stats is &lt;br&gt; correct. If there is an error (like you lost Pneumatos) ALL spells&lt;br&gt; is removed and you can learn them again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: I had 2 pt in earth, now I only have 1. &lt;br&gt;A: If the login check finds out you have too many spherepoints it will&lt;br&gt; automatically remove&lt;br&gt; excess points starting with the lowest sphere&lt;br&gt; first. Most likely this won&#039;t happen now but future changes could &lt;br&gt; trigger this.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: Is this a buff or nerf?&lt;br&gt;A: Depends on who you ask. My intention wasn&#039;t to boost or nerf wu-jen&lt;br&gt; but instead optimize the code. I have changed formulas some to help&lt;br&gt; newbie wu-jen. Make the class slightly less complicated and give&lt;br&gt; incentive to go both max in a sphere or spread out and become jack-&lt;br&gt; of-all-trades. You either specialize or go for utility.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q:You destroyed my sphere setup/build/spell etc!&lt;br&gt;A: Sorry for that. You get to use the greater polymorph room for free&lt;br&gt; one time though.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: Can you fix so we can play lowbie wu-jens in twars?&lt;br&gt;A: I havn&#039;t tried it but it should work in theory now. The code will&lt;br&gt; automatically add spells/sphere points based on your new level and&lt;br&gt; you don&#039;t have to buy shit in the mage guild anymore. You just&lt;br&gt; need a huge macro to learn all spells just before the war starts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: &lt;insert spell&gt; sucks, why didn&#039;t you fix it?&lt;br&gt;A: It requires quite a project to through all spells also and I wanted&lt;br&gt; to make sure I finished this one first before I jump into something&lt;br&gt; else. I won&#039;t make any promises but I&#039;m quite aware we need to look&lt;br&gt; at individual spells and see how well they perform.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: Why don&#039;t you add something unique instead of the same spells for &lt;br&gt; all spheres at rank 6 and 7.&lt;br&gt;A: That would be cool. One of the reasons I rewrote the shadow wa&lt;br&gt; make it easier for future changes. If a wizards wants to put in&lt;br&gt; more stuff and even re-arrange spells in a sphere it&#039;s a piece of&lt;br&gt; cake.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: That new offhand metaskill. Can you dual wield mageweapons?&lt;br&gt;A: Yeah, that&#039;s the general idea. I could have coded up something&lt;br&gt; completely different but I thought it would be a cool idea to&lt;br&gt; run around with two flameblades or whatever. Right I changed&lt;br&gt; the code so you can now have two mageweapons in your inventory.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: Doesn&#039;t makeweapons suck?&lt;br&gt;A: Yeah, they did. That&#039;s why I doubled their effectiveness. My aim&lt;br&gt; is for metaskill wu-jens to end up with 75-90% of a specialized&lt;br&gt; wu-jens damage. You make up for it in utility. If they have more&lt;br&gt; I will reduce. I they have clearly less I will boost.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: Is the extra cost for having points in more than one tree gone?&lt;br&gt;A: Yeah.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: Why isn&#039;t that information in the help file?&lt;br&gt;A: I didn&#039;t want the help file to have a bunch of legac information.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: 12800 questpoints?! Is there even that many quests in the game?&lt;br&gt;A: Nope. It&#039;s only there so we don&#039;t have to modify the code in the&lt;br&gt; future incase that happens.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Q: &#039;check&#039; color doesn&#039;t work.&lt;br&gt;A: Yeah... I havn&#039;t tracked down that bug yet *blush*. Be patient. :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
