This was deliberate, it has since been deemed a really dumb idea, and will be removed. Some mobs will still be able to be immune to or mitigate slows.</li><li><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Bandwidth Usage and /Serverfilter:</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> It was very broken (was doing nothing) but the issue has been addressed, and the server-side filters are now controlled by the individual items that live in the Options window, on the Filters page. Also, recently EverQuest's entire bandwidth usage was also improved (read: better compression techniques/less useless data being sent) but this broke the accuracy of HP bar updates. Both of these will be fixed in Wednesday's patch.</li><li><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Curses, Poisons, and Diseases:</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> These currently cannot be cured, will be fixed in Wednesday's patch.</li><li><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Faces:</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Peoples faces are currently showing up differently to each person who views them. What you see yourself as is not how others will see you. This will be fixed in the next patch.</li></ul><!--EZCODE LIST END--><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://eqlive.station.sony.com/communit ... p?id=53662" target="top">Update on recast times. 14/01/2003 7:02PM</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Summary</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><!--EZCODE LIST START--><ul><li>All spells now have a minimum recast time, and this is because players were beginning to cast a spell and then seeing the error message "Recast time not met". It has absolutely nothing to do with the "instant click items being used to bypass spell recast time" exploit, so we won't even mention that.</li></ul><!--EZCODE LIST END--> <p><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=59365" target="top">Kathodos</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> - Battle Cleric of Tunare - Tholuxe Paells<!--EZCODE BR START-->
