Jan 10, 2015 Reboot - Various

[Amairgen]

1) Melee damage has been adjusted a 'small' amount up
2) The Poison Els in the Arachnid Champ have been tamed a small amount

3) Tartarus has a new Evo Pet:

- It is called 'Night Terror' and is similar (but a bit stronger) to a Nightmare but it can be shrunk and will not need the stables.

- These come from the Night Terror Guardian. If you kill the Guardian you only get normal loot. If you 'Tame' the Guardian it dies but has a reasonable chance to drop an Owner's Certificate for a Night Terror mount.

- Along with the Owner's Certificate you will also get some special feed that will top up the Night Terror's Experience Points so it will go to full development during its first fight.

- The Night Terror uses the same number of Follower Slots as a Nightmare (2 slots).

4) If the Night Terror works out then over new minor Evos similar will follow (Dragon, White Wyrm etc). All these new ones will come into the world on Tartarus in a similar fashion.

So we've had a couple of melee damage buffs now, any prospective buffs for ranged damage, maybe closer to stock ultima for ranged weapons? I've noticed that on this server critters are pretty dang fast, and with having to stop to shoot and no chance to block or parry damage, nearly everything closes the gap instantly and bashes your face in. Nothing wrong with that, but I feek like lower damage plus no defense against monsters that run at horse speed is kind of a double nerf. Just thought I'd toss it up. P.S. Yumi's don't fall into this category since they are still on stock UO damage scale.

I will say Yumis and The Taxus bow do have VERY high base damage. It is a shame that weapons that are just as slow (Crossbow) do not do more damage. You are hurting your DPS if you use anything besides a Yumi and I dont think it should be quite like that. A slight buff to the other bows to bring them more in line would be great!
