Patch 145 — Feb 2 2012: Vendors, Speech, House Placement

Patch 145: Feb 2 2012

  • You must be within 3 steps of an NPC vendor and have Line of Sight to converse with them, or buy and sell.
    • Previously the required distance varied between some vendors.
  • This does not apply to Bank, Stable, or Claim.
  • There is now a slight delay in response when talking to an NPC. This behavior was noted on OSI and has been replicated here.
  • Animal Trainers are invulnerable.
  • NPC vendors restock policy was slightly modified so that purchased goods, especially scrolls remain in stock longer.
  • The standard range for normal speech is now 9 (down from 15), Yell remains unchanged at 18 tiles.
  • Added check for steps borders in house placement, land adjacent to steps must be level.
    • This should prevent placing houses with steps that cannot be walked onto.
  • A speech throttle for spam was introduced. Very fast repeated text will cause you to be squelched for a short time.


Thanks to Batlin for uncovering the details on the speech ranges in this thread: Town Vendor Npc Command Range

Update Feb 29:

  • The speech throttle was eased quite a bit; should be less of an issue now when performing normal actions.
  • There was a bug found in the NPC delay effectively doubling (or more) their delay. This has been corrected.

Read the rest.
