I have a problem with you calling the server classic red 1999 pvp. The only thing classic about this server is the pve and if i wanted classic pve I'd play blue 1999.

Never on classic was I snared or rooted with 120+ mr.(mainly so you couldn't rain and nuke players for manaburn dmg everytime they got rooted duh)

Don't remember a single time a Mage pet rooted me without the Mage even casting their mala line espiecally not with 206 mr.

Saw winged death get resisted once in about 10 years of EQ.

I played a Wizard for years I remember having to use lures, my draughts didn't land on anyone, tears landed better but even they partialed on waves to anyone with 140+ fire cold or magic. They didn't need 300+ pre planes of power lol.

I also remember using sol like every fight in classic EQ and people regaining thru it like 1 out of 50 times.

I remember ducking and stoping my spell bar.

I remember dots ticking for full on people standing still and not a flat 33% reduction like they were nukes.

I remember bard song's wether chants or nukes(which is just dirge & bellow's really) not having the 33% reduction applied to it because well songs aren't fucking spells and highsun landed like root on anyone with over 120 mr which is like never.

I remember pillar's and lightning blast having a 200 range like every other spell kind of hard for me to forget that one when ya lvl'd from 30-60 with wizard quad kiting. Because holy shit how easy it would have been to never die quading with an unlimited range AE, fuck you wouldn't even need to bonds or atol's them with that. And pillar never landed in pvp lmfao pls.

So I don't think you have to change anything about the server except the name because there is absolutely nothing classic about the pvp on this server. I wouldn't sell someone a can of chili and replace the meat with cat shit, that's just a flat bold faced lie, which is actually more honest than calling this classic 1999 pvp.

Gotta love the integrity they wont enable the map or remove hybrid exp penalty because that's against classic, but they will change every fucking thing about how every class functioned in pvp. <Smacks head against wall>

Its just funny to make the user experience as bad as possible for classic purposes and then to screw around with anything and everything in the actual gaming experience.

I am sure all of our dev resources are now working vigorously to force a specifically designated UI type on everyone and to disable resolutions exceeding 1024X768 with no 16X10 or 16X9 support.

They just need to decide what they wanna do. No reason to hold their left hand out to the side dangling a sign that says "classic" and then punch us in the balls with the other one.

Gm's state Exp bonus is for whining pussies, but bindsighting a player's pet and nuking them with pillar of frost from across the zone APPROVED! ( I know most of you wizzies are so blue ya didn't even know about that exploit) But since they had what hmm 1.5 years to correct the range on coding by just typing 200 in that bracket why not show how badly it can be exploited and ruin it for everyone! Soooo Classic!

I don't like that blue gets to duck to interrupt their spells when we don't. Other than that, I disagree with a lot of OP's sentiments. I can't seem to land root at all in pvp.

Really because I've been rooted by a druid my lvl with 140+ mr, I think a lot of people can say that's quite accurate. And 1 statement isn't a lot it's actually a little.

Because I made a lot of statements and you disagreed with one. I'm not asking for quantum physics here just basic arithmetic.

The resist system could use some tweaks, but I think you guys blow things way out of proportion. Since getting 52+, I've found that root and snare are not worth casting in 1v1 pvp at all because they don't land and my time would be better spent casting dots or nukes. I don't remember if dot damage was reduced in pvp or not on live, but either way they seem decently effective here. Nukes could use some tweaking, but it's not like it's impossible to get a kill on a wizard. Mage pet root could definitely use some tweaking.

Sorry, I'm really tired now and can't seem to sleep. These threads get really old, though, and I think by now the devs understand your sentiments. We seem to be waiting on Rogean and maybe a couple others (Null?) to address our concerns, and I don't think continuing to complain at them is doing much to expedite the process.

And btw ducking to prevent spellcasting wasn't in at this point on live. It's an error that bluebies get to kill spells with duck pre-Velious. In this regard red is more classic than blue.

That's still only one thing you disagree with which is the root thing, I'm bad at math but 1+0 is still one as far as I know. you said you disagreed with a lot of things I said and then mentioned root and agreed with the mage root thing which is actually 1 disagree one agree.I do like how you ignore the fact that you can cast lightning blast on someone no matter how far they run out of range, as long as you start casting with them in range. Or the fact that you'd need an impossibly high fire to attain a partial or resist on any scoriae or wildfire.

So you just disagree with the things that wouldn't benefit your class ok I got your number.

Resist code is big #2 for why the server failed and currently sucks. In mass pvp it means a bunch of no geared casters can drop max geared characters very easily with very little coordination, since all nukes land for full. It means when there's a mage around people just run instead of fighting because lure root pet is most likely death. Necros lifetaps and dots are underpowered as fuck because nukes are blown out of proportion and suck because of this when they were very dominant on live.

We struggled through low levels - thinking Null scaled shit way back to account for knowledge of the game/make certain classes viable - I even think he said something completely dumb like "Bards shouldn't be unkillable". hinting that this shit was by design and infact he's a fucking retard.

But ultimately most people quit due to this - on Live, you would get 70+ MR with basic items like BS mantle, jewlery bracers, black iron crown etc etc and be viable and ready to go for pvp. Here I am max gear and I still worry about venturing far from zone lines (just like every other melee) and it creates this boring stagnant zone line defending gay ass pvp.

Resists touchy for me could go on for awhile but I'll just cut this rant here and not proof read.

Bard's pre Plane of Power(Tuyen's disease,poison) sucked bad enough but here they went that extra mile. Making Tuyen's fire and cold not land for shit and worse yet hit it with the 33% reduction lmfao like they were real dot's.

Bard's were unkillable on live due to selo's breaking root and snare everytime it ticked, ya didn't have to nerf the class to the fucking ground when there dmg is already the worst. If they got that buthurt/raped by the gimpest pvp class pre planes of power they should have just removed it. not made them totally un pvpable unless you consider chaining highsun only during the day pvp.

All I'm saying is if there's nothing classic about the pvp don't call it classic red99 lmfao thought that was pretty much common sense.

Never said to change a thing, stop playing, whine about shit nah just call a spade a spade.

I don't know where your from but in America we cant fill a can with cat shit and then call it sirloin. Don't false advertise.

I always have more fun on LoZ but it depends on if there is a population or not. The problem is the people that play 10 hours a day get bored quicker and head back since red99 has that ever going grind. Then the population dwindles and it becomes worthless again.

Then, if you actually appreciate eq pvp, you get sick of doing it because its broken and you're not here to prove you're good at EQ. You just want to relive the classic, and ... welp.

If you are a casual player it is better. The server even has PvP points and leaderboards so if you have 2 people with 8 chars a small group of 4 can probably come in and sweep up 8 easy kills.

As for clearing velious you are still working on clearing Unrest solo so I don't see why it makes a difference to you.

If I needed to coordinate with 40 people to down shit I don't care about I would be on red99 in Nihilum.

The PvE is weak on LoZ, because no one cares about it. Like I said before it does have its negative since people that put in a ton of time get bored quicker and leave. For me I don't put in enough hours to get bored of it. I just play it until the population dwindles and go on to the next thing.

too many complete losers infest this community, scum bags, exploiting shits (anyone with linux), the reason the casual nice players left is you - not the code or exp - the game is great but if it means suffering through the downsyndrome mania, no one enjoys it.
