Recent changes - Classleads and rewrites

Written by: Tecton, the Terraformer
Date: Friday, August 1st, 2008
Addressed to: Everyone


We have just put live the latest round of classlead changes and a few
rewrites on back-end systems. The details are as follows:

- Grove users can CALL NEW SWARM from outside their groves, should their
swarm be killed in combat. Be warned that your swarm will need to
regroup for some time after they have been dispersed by the killing
blow.

- Metamorphosis users have had some major rewrites in the underlying
code related to MORPHing and being stripped of your morph. The cool-down
time for remorphing after it being stripped has been reduced, but a long
standing irregularity with the actual timer being instated has been
corrected. You will notice this when your morph is removed by abilities
such as SOULSTORM / CLEANSEAURA / MIND SCYTHE and the selarnia venom.

- PERFORM PURITY has been brought inline with TAINT, and will now go
through shields.

- Apostate FIEND now has a slim chance of afflicting with haemophilia.

- A lot of the denizen afflicting code has been rewritten, adding a
variety of nefarious afflictions able to be given in their attacks. It
will now also respect the normal defences your may have against the
afflictions, such at blindness when transfixing, or fitness when
afflicted with asthma.

Penned by My hand on the 11th of Daedalan, in the year 486 AF.
