Really? No Buff Timers??

Yeah, this is going beyond being "Classic" and into the realms of doing it for the sake of it. How ridiculous are you gonna go with this?

These forums are far too tolerant to engender true classic feels. To properly emulate Whineplay any post/thread that might maybe possibly have a chance to be considered by the most ultra-sensitive twit on the planet to allow the merest hint of criticis of p99 and/or the p99 staff to be inferred from it must to be nuked mercilessly, with forum suspensions & perma-bans handed out for the tiniest of imagined offenses. Ill-informed whines about gameplay & mechanics illustrating the poster's ignorance, and responses filled sith similar nonsense, may be coupled with shameless bootlicking & brown-nosing, all other posts are strictly forbidden.

If you can't keep a "one mississippi, two mississippi" count going in your head for buffs YOU CHOSE TO CAST, then eq may not be for you.

On that note, from a role playing perspective when someone casts a buff on you, you don't have timer to check whenever you please. You just start feeling it fade at the end of its effectiveness.

Obviously we need game-wide micro-variance to stop those dirty farmers right in their greedy little tracks. Buffs, spawn times, fishing, server ticks, mob regen, gm rulings, you name it, everything needs to be subject to random deviations.

No, you can use them to exploit. Glad they're gone.

[Tiewon Shu]

I really do not see how being able to access content is an exploit, especially content restricted to 1 race without a potion. All the Luclin models did was restrict the need for troll avatars to use potion, and that is only if one was good at avatar navigation.

Seriously, was it that game breaking to allow 1 race the ability to do something all the other races could do? The people who PvP on Red need to learn to play. Back on live, we didn't bitch about a troll climbing a tower, we actually improvised and overcame, you know, like real PvPers.

i find it hilarious that changes happen and things are removed from game that quite simply made gameplay more enjoyable in the name of it not being classic, like its some kind of mortal sin to use anything but classic content, but then the GM's tell us that they are gonna do custom content after velious.

[Swish]

That argument never adds up. People hate change but there's been so many changes. Remember the hate over the target window con color being removed? Adapt.

on a spin off server, once the main servers/timelines are fully developed and can be redeployed to new timeline servers, basically at the point the devs won't have anything else to do and may choose to exercise their free time developing what is essentially a new game...

Spell and Item Interruption: Ducking will now interrupt a spell instantly. You will no longer be able to sit while using items or casting spells. This will not affect bard songs, which will still work as they always have, but will affect all items, even those with song-like effects.

I believe the devs have decided to not implement it because it will be removed shortly anyways. Red can likely expect ducking interrupts in 5 months.

[Gustoo]

They decided not to implement it for possibly illogical or illicit reasons known only to the staff, since they have known about this un-classic feature since at least the release of R99.
