View Full Version : Any chance at a Legendary day?
Gaanon
05-27-2014, 11:47 AM
I think a lot of the new players would like an opportunity to get a guise / MS / bind at firepots?
This project has the potential to go on for years, we shouldn't punish/reward people for coming here late.
These items don't change/break end game PVP, or negatively effect anything other than a few people who have spent time farming these and want to be the only ones to have them.

I personally like the idea of a super rare chance at dropping legendary items all the time (like other servers) - then people who are dedicated enough to farm them will do so, the value will drop on those items but it won't create a cockblock on the market from hardcores taking the camps for specific days.
If they are very very rare normal people will have a chance at the camp as the value won't be cock blockable.

Agreed with Stasis. GM events happened all the time during classic not just during holidays and once a year they even awarded one of those crazy legendary items like the butcherblock hammer during classic and that crazy bp with fungi effects. Gm events should give out real prizes every time. kunark items won't matter when velious comes out so why not do an event and spawn cazic, Inny, fay hell even trak or VP dragons.

If this server was classic we should still be getting raped by Trak teeth, getting fully golem wanded and blown up by clickies that are rechargeable while eating EXP deaths from a +/- 8 level range(because keeping our rule set would be classic)
Oh yeah and 18 second T staff procs, those were good too.

If anyone remember classic red99 - root nets from perma were farmed and recharged, with Null code roots would land 50% on 110 MR which was mostly BIS MR gear on my rogue at the time.
I was rooted every single fight, definitely not classic and common sense was applied to recharging.
(resists were still broken and people farmed unrechargeable nets)
"Classic" for a lot of the time is just a fancy excuse for good players to exploit shit.

gm events are classic and guises were awards before. Nobody wants to waste 3 hours doing a gm event to having a chance of winning a fbss. Better items should be rewarded every time. Saying its not about the loot is silly. Having a chance of being awarded a nice item will bring the community TOGETHER. Remember the gm event where Tune and Lite were captains and they had to hand pick their own teams? Azrael and Nilly members working together knowing that the winner gets an innourk spawn and loot.

Events are what hooked me on EQ. Not GM run events, but "scripted" ones.
I always come up with the halloween event of 2001 example because its still up there in my top 5 MMO experience, after 12 years.
Just drop a bunch of mobs in a zone, with maybe a hint in a server wide yellow text, and have the players go at it.
In west commons it was the sky turning purple and werewolves mobs spawning. Wraiths in eastern Karana. Undead dragon in Rathe.
Not something for just the 60s to enjoy either. So for example an Orc invasion in WFP, which has orcs running for the guards, dropping nice items for people starting out.
I would keep the really low level events out of yellow system text to prevent the griefers to ruin the event. No, threathening people with bans if they interfere with the event is not a good idea. We should strive as much as possible to have a sandbox experience. So if PKers come, hopefully people like me will log on alts to protect real noobs.

yup, nothing wrong with farming faction if you are gonna use it correctly. We def encourage it. The way rexx and co tried to benefit from it was laughable at best. Standing under dragons whose AoE you can trigger with a DA. No imagination. Rip Mitic, never saw him log back in after Nexona prepped him for colgate and edward despite hours of factioning. Checkraise's ideas for wanting to acquire faction were as easy to bypass of those of Rexx, so it didn't motivate anyone.

Funny thing is almost no one knew about recharging and it was quickly fixed once it went main stream which is classic.
Also once people began abusing Trak Teeth and farming them for life taps, they were nerfed as well. So.. If you look at how this was handled originally.. its the same way here.
We could also probably use a few live lvl 60 chars to PvP each other and record that shit and then try to reverse engineer that into correctly working ac/atk for PvP then modify the mobs to match in PvE.. I know we are doing that now as far as modifying but at least atk buffs and ac debuffs here would give the proper adjustments (PvP fix too!).

This is a great idea. Being firepot bound is, dare I say, the biggest single advantage a non-porter class can have in the game. It's a shame to say the least, that only older players have access to this. Any new blood to the server are at a disadvantage permanently.

I can see both sides of the argument. On one hand, someone like me who didn't even know this project existed until Kunark came out had no chance at being pots bound, getting a DE mask to drop, etc kinda sucks. On the other hand, from what I understand the manastone/DE mask camps were a warzone 24/7 when they dropped and it would sort of lessen the accomplishment of getting one.
One thing I will totally agree on with the OP is this "not classic" nonsense is ridiculous. Here are some non classic things we deal with every day on R99:
1. Non classic resists (not even f'ing CLOSE)
2. Items aren't rechargable
3. Golem wands
4. Tstaff procs
5. Necro/SK lifetaps not healing for full
5. Somewhere between 1/4th and 1/8th the population of a live server
6. General ruleset: no +/- 4 PVP server w/ no item loot in this era, etc
7. PNP rules enforced
8. Exp bonus
9. MOST IMPORTANTLY....2+ years in Kunark isn't classic.
The reason that the majority of those differences exist? Because it makes this server playable. Throwing out any idea on the grounds of not classic is just dumb.
Nirgon
05-28-2014, 01:48 PM
If by warzone you mean kick Lamort out occasionally or Natural was there

Kergan's list is good. Server's still way better than all the rest I played. Some of the VZTZ iterations I pilotquested some and one I played pretty seriously did have root/stun/blind resists way better tho. But I'm tired of servers with all kinds of jacked up shit, looking for dat real experience. So close but some things are just too hard to overlook.

Whirl would go random duration, it was basically whirl on live with dmg + "unresistable" (lifetap) flag added to it. Seems about right here since patch from Colgate's pvp vids.

There shouldn't be recharging on blue either.
Much like how boxing was something classic but isn't allowed here because of the bull shit it causes.
The "classic experience" much like most people having one account.... also didn't have every single person recharging midnight mallets and WC gate caps and shit.
In fact there's no comparison to the number when considering the people that multi boxed vs the number of people that knew about item recharging classic-Velious. It needs to go on blue. There's just absolutely no argument for that.

If someone has the vision of making a server feel as classic as possible things have to be tweaked unfortunately. In my opinion the valid complaints are against changes that the GMs feel make a better server and stray from recreating the game we all came here to play.

The project needs all the Ele's, Nirgons and Daldaens it can get but sometimes stuff does get screwed up and you need a vocal body to say otherwise. The complaints were well justified in regards to sit agro insofar as it caused numerous exploitable scenarios which I detailed in the exploit section.
Server staff getting shit on is one thing - that sickens me but fwiw the project benefits enormously when a broken mechanic brings forward respectful dialogue from both sides. In fact, the best thing to come of that was it got some lazy people off their asses to submit logs or evidence showing what or why a mechanic was broken.

Buff stacking - should try to fill first available slot rather than overwrite existing
dispel mechanics (have a thread outlining behavior just need to confirm shit on live.. I doubt anything has changed with it)
most in town guards resist rates
channeling way too high (seriously I channeled a full Boltran's on blue through my charmed pet and 2 mobs on me with no fear)
Necro heal recourse dispel (absence of evidence that you could in every single damn thread about it and the necro healing guide someone found)
Honestly this is a ridiculously short list compared to other servers I've played. I need to get 'round to seeing what Haynar did with bolts... that's kind of a big deal. Speaking of short lists... the content work alone here is who the FUCK knows how many hours. This content work was enough I think for big Yeahlight (who had bolts, buff stacking, channeling and dispels etc correct btws) to throw in the towel and would have taken years.

Just been a series of requests built around an image of what R99 could be to you and your specific play style, and how shitty it is if it doesn't meet those very specific standards.
Yeah this threads sure stating that follow my ideas or it will burn.
This is a suggestion that would help new players.
To HB this isn't on behalf of Azrael, and no I didn't.

So azrael wasn't killing everything during the d3 break? I'm confused.

Have you considered just giving certain people a crown of rile so they'll go away?
Seems more effective than a ban too because they will just reroll from that.

Would be a good idea for a publicity stunt, get some posts out on the Web. One weekend of de masks etc, then coordinating it so you do it like a week or two before velious launch. Would make the coming of winter less lonely...

likely they will at velious launch. They did for kunark.
And honestly, thats too much. These items were discontinued for a reason, and unlike classic, they were flooded onto the server. I dont think p99 ever should have put them in.

sounds like stasis wants a de mask for his iksar monk
if anything what I'd like to see is all the classic drops put back into the game for 1 week max, that would make places like guk a hotspot and fun pvp, but nething outside of that just try to get lucky with a GM event, god knows they do that more here than they ever did on live and you can't say verant punished people by starting late, that was part of the whole mystique around the items to begin with

Rotating hot spots are a great addition to any pvp game

I can see both sides of the argument. On one hand, someone like me who didn't even know this project existed until Kunark came out had no chance at being pots bound, getting a DE mask to drop, etc kinda sucks. On the other hand, from what I understand the manastone/DE mask camps were a warzone 24/7 when they dropped and it would sort of lessen the accomplishment of getting one.
One thing I will totally agree on with the OP is this "not classic" nonsense is ridiculous. Here are some non classic things we deal with every day on R99:
1. Non classic resists (not even f'ing CLOSE)
2. Items aren't rechargable
3. Golem wands
4. Tstaff procs
5. Necro/SK lifetaps not healing for full
5. Somewhere between 1/4th and 1/8th the population of a live server
6. General ruleset: no +/- 4 PVP server w/ no item loot in this era, etc
7. PNP rules enforced
8. Exp bonus
9. MOST IMPORTANTLY....2+ years in Kunark isn't classic.
The reason that the majority of those differences exist? Because it makes this server playable. Throwing out any idea on the grounds of not classic is just dumb.
gonna throw out this server has been out since nov 2011 2+ years of kunark??
not sure where ppl are getting this server is over 3 years old because its not.. toke aleast a year for kunark to even come out

2 years of kunark before velious comes out for sure

World of difference between 'shitty' and 'it will burn.' You do understand what a superlative is? It's an exaggeration in grammar, and it's basically yours and 90% of everyone else's M.O on these boards.
That's what "spinning" is. You're very fond of it, and it makes you look like an idiot. The bad part is that you don't even realize when you're doing it.
Trust me, I pay way more attention to what I write than you do. You should learn to be more subtle - it might help you not look like a dipshit in front of everyone.

i think it would be cool if there was some legendary items given as rewards for events. perhaps a sword that is crazy OP and super shiny, or some other useful item that is more than just a gimmick. nothing that would really imbalance the game, but something worth-while to win an event for. for instance, if it were a sword, then it would be replaced in mid-late game velious easily. (im not familiar with all the items in velious or i would give examples, but maybe use the template from defiant gear)
enabling someone to run around with a sparkly sword or helmet/armor would be epic. probably not feasable, definately not classic, but would be cool imo. also i am thinking said item should be tradeable, so it doesnt just rot in someones bank over time.

Make the event items drop on pvp death. More fun, memorable and can keep them moving around.
