    I feel this deserves a topic on its own since I am getting some confused people how suddenly buffs work differently.

    Basically, last maintenance we made buff changes. One of them is a change that makes weaker buffs no longer overwrite stronger buffs. This is known in some servers as the 'Smart Buff System'

    Example, if I eat an Onyx Apple, and then use Rage. Previously, I would lose all my attack from the apple. Now, you will keep the attack from the apple, because it's a stronger buff, and Rage is a weaker buff. You won't gain the attack from Rage, however, so it won't stack together. This also works if your party is using Rage while you have an apple.

    Furthermore, Beholder was known to be killing attack buffs at later levels. Now that's no longer the case!

    Demonstration videos.
    Beholder: Click me
    Rage: Click me

    We hope you'll enjoy the feature and for all the other information we've added on this big maintenance please click here

    Can you check if this applies for Hyper Body. When I used my lower level HB, it cancelled my GM HB buff. Thank you

    Reminder that any buffs that do not affect your primary stat (weapon attack, magic attack, defense, speed, etc...) is not affected by this change, which means which ever skill you recently cast gets applied instead (ex. you casting hb on top of gm hb will cancel out the gm buff, giving you a regular time for hb instead)

    Hmm, I'm not sure how the hyper body buff works compared to something like meditate or rage, but surely there is something that could be coded eventually?

    Not sure how that will override because rage deals specifically with weapon attack while meditation deals with magic attack.
    Did those skills used to override each other?

    Does Dark Sight at less than level 20 still remove the speed buff from Haste? I don't think it would be a horrible balance change if it doesn't any more, but I can see it upsetting some people.

    Purely asking out of curiosity, really; I've never been clear if the speed reduction counted as a "buff of a negative number" or if it actually had a separate debuff category.
