It's Classic!!!

[Darthmuhh]

Will it kill the server? So why break a game as Sony broke it the first time? People are happy with things the way they are and then a patch hits that fcks things up for many, ie rgoue sneak/hide, druid tracking, and they say "it's classic". I don't give a fck, I want to play an enjoyable game.

Do you keep following classic precisely or do you not implement some classic changes and keep the game enjoyable? Or just keep on the same path till the game gets to the point where people finally quit cause the game gets to the same point where Sony took it and everyone is like, "fck this, I'm outta here".

The server population is like 150 on average play times and now it is harder to do a CR do to rogues sneak/hide fckery which really makes no sense. Some one said on a blue thread to just sneak around them. Try doing that in Seb, and try flip[ flopping a monk past all the nuking mobs.

For the ones who will say, "QQ and quit", this fck you is for you.

Please implement good additions but use the control you have and NOT to screw the game up as Sony did by adding things most of the populace dislike.

QQ and quit

It's completely random and doesn't make sense from a game play perspective. It seems the Vision(TM) is to create a "patch routine" that replicates the best and worst of all at the same time, they did not want to evaluate what was good. This isn't about creating a game. It's about coding emulator code and database entry.

like he said, sorry but they pretty much just gave us a EQ pvp box to play on, they arent here to give us the best EQ pvp experience (there are people that do what they can to help this be that like, ie Sirken), in general Rogean and Nilbog are after the most classic EQ server possible, from what i gather they arent that interested in pvp.

Then one must ask why we have a non classic PvP ruleset based on some devs whims that for some horrible reason have persisted all this time, and totally non classic resists, and absurd spell range issues that should be an easy fix.

We have the worst of both worlds. Non classic in all essential areas, classic in all areas that make game play a little more annoying.

Please don't focus your attentions on removing compass in game. Make the game play like eq first.

Cant wait till 4x3 resolutions maxing out at xga can be enforced.

P.s. thanks to whatever dev made PvP xp loss go away so noob grief doesn't hurt pop quite so much...although they still have no reason to fight back. First positive change in a long while.

Pps I love this server anyways it rox.

[Andis]

I would have to agree, taking away rog hide and sneak and making it like this, is wrong, and not even classic.

how do you expect a grp to CR from deep in seb, or any deep dungeon. if theres any pvp after a wipe, you might as well log off, cuz NO ONE will be able to get a corpse.

options at this point are: fight down naked, hope theres no pvp so u can summon using a necro, and hm thats it

like honestly GMs should be thinking about this stuff before patching shit in.

and druid track, is now worse than a bards. classic? this should never be the case like jesus

[Dacuk]

You guys gotta keep in mind, classic EQ was about generating $$ for Verant... As a result, in order to keep subscriptions going as long as possible, they needed to come up with intuitive ways to keep people spending more and more time playing the game.

So basically, making shit more vlassic means making shit take more time. This past patch will simply make shit take longer to do. Good luck with that approach with the majority of your population no longer retarded high school and college kids, but mid 20s and older guys with less free time on their hands. Yea the classic diehards will approve, but these decisions will be bad for population and are unhealthy for server population.

Lots of enjoyable quality of life features

[Andis]

wow sucks, and if you like it, you suck lol

dacuk has a solid point, juggling real life with work and trying to play is hard enough

shit like this is already hurting the server instead of trying to make it more enjoyable for the players

we are no longer 12 years old with no responsibilities.

[Nirgon]

Sorry if druid track and rogue hide/sneak being fixed ruins some of your ability to brag about classic EQ PvP/PvE skill

It's classic, sorry

[Andis]

the rog hide sneak during classic times, worked better than it does now.

they way its in now is wrong

[Nirgon]

The way I remembered it and found research on was that it was skill based (like alcohol tolerance).

It COULD be better than invis/seeinvis in SOME situations and also depended on NPC level/type.

Right now its just like invis+ivu on a successful use, and skill only determines speed but not "level" of invisibility.

All the unemployed virgins are in nihilum.

[Andis]

took this from samwise on blue thread

it may be classic so yea we are probably fucked but id just like to go on record saying it is kinda dumb. rogue is supposed to be a "stealth" class. sneak/hide is like their main utility outside apply poison (lol) a rogue SHOULD be able to stealth past most mobs. hes a fucking assassin. monks get fd, why shouldnt rogues get stealth? anyone can double invis, take away that ability and maybe rogues will still be somewhat unique.


change it back

[Gustoo]

Nice post Andis. Unfortunately, until we can convince devs to stop saying "it is for classic" on our 90% custom server, then we are not allowed to make arguments based on logic.

This falls under the "it is classic + we dont give a damn" double standard that answers any polite requires for changes. If its a new stupid change, it is classic, if it is a non classic persistent seriously broken issue, they too busy nerfing compass to care.

We just need a rename.

[Nirgon]

Server is getting less custom, worry you not.

Our team of doctors and researchers of classic EverQuest argue long into the night to bring you the most gruesomely classic experience.
