Median XL 2017 1.1 Version Log

there's nothing mentioned about MF in the log. And MF will increase the chances for an item being magic/rare/etc, but it has no impact on the base item that you will get. What will make ancient armors / naginatas more common in this patch is the qlvl rework.

Regarding nodrop change, it basically works like this:
- There are two types of No Drop in median: No Drop (as seen in vanilla d2) and NDTC. The former is reduced by player count while the latter isn't. The change here was to move 50% of NDTC to No Drop, which means a bigger % of the total no drop chance will now be affected by player count - while the total no drop chance stays the same at players 1 setting.

This increases the drop amount on every location in the game, with elemental essences, runestones, trophies and charms being the exception.

Was this done to better encourage people to play together?

Edit: Kind of a silly question, let me re-phrase, was this done ONLY to encourage people to play together, and do you have any idea's for the future for playing with other people to be more beneficial?

It wasn't anything in the logs that confused me, but what LH cited about how No Drop works. But I already got my answer

well because mp-farming is terrible. I believe the reason why laz created NDTC in the first place was to punish /pX settings in SP.

the new uber documentation has been released:

Kehjistan - https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/quests/kehjistan
Western Kingdoms - https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/quests/westernkingdoms
Wastelands - https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/quests/wastelands

additionally, there are a few new pages in the docs:
Trophy bonuses - https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/wiki/trophies
Poison Damage Explained - https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/wiki/poison
Spell Damage Explained - viewtopic.php?f=40&t=186
Armor Looks - https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/wiki/armorlooks

Armor looks is really cool feature!

EDIT: Looks like Yshari Charm doesn't give % HP bonus anymore?

nvm, I see that Void charm also doesn't have 50 to attributes so i guess it's intended.

From changelog: Boss health bar extension is now always the same, and no longer contains parenthesis

Will this fix the visual bug on defense tooltip after you defeat a boss?

suchbalance anwser about it back then: https://forum.median-xl.com/viewtopic.p ... 313#p96313

Are the sleep charm bonuses are back to how they were previously in old docs?? Cause today they are nerfed, for example cubbing cathedral of vanity trophy gives you 10-15% spell damage. Now i see 21-30% again??

Most likely it will fix it, yes, at least for most of the cases.
In the past health bars consisted of the boss name, and enough spaces until the string was 80 characters long.
Now it's always 10 spaces on both sides, so Diablo for example would be 26 characters, down from 80.

Nice, thank you, its nothing major just a visual annoyance at best.
