Make sure we all thank rygar for reporting player hindering bugs. :)

Can anyone list any other remaining decent quests? I'll go research them to make sure we can't enjoy those either ;)

[Rygar]

For all those saying I'm ruining quests and hindering players with these fixes... I would argue the quests are ruining your P99 experience. Exp gains were way too high and encouraged a printing press mentality for alts and high level players farming scalps and ears kept exp camps on lockdowns.

Things will improve because of this.

[Robbintha Hood]

I'm still gonna farm orc scalps and goblin ears even after the update. I ruined my Highpass and Freeport factions ganking Stanos Herkanor about 20 times in a single night.

This. Between HHK Gobby Ears and the Nybright sisters I managed to get a decent head start on my goblin gazughi ring, my Spells, and the cheap CHA gear out there. Would be hard for a new player without that extra 1-2k of pp.

[Dman2701]

Agreed, it's due to high level players "printer press mentality" when it comes to leveling, that it allowed me to make a decent amount of money as a new player selling bone chips, orc scalps and goblin ears. i never used any of those for exp but would sell them to players so i could afford items i needed badly when i first started.
People need to stop hiding behind this "classic" stuff..this server isn't remotely close to classic.

You didn't need any items (let alone "need badly") when you first started: classic EverQuest players leveled up just fine while wearing bronze armor ;)

You have to understand, the staff didn't just spend all their free time on this server so you could play a free game: they made it so they could "beta test" classic EQ as they developed it. It is in fact VERY classic, and the entire reason Blue exists is to find and make fixes like this to get the code even closer to classic.

If someone enjoys leveling quickly due to turning in goblin ears, who are you to ruin their experience? Literally and figuratively.

You're saying that the Quest is ruining everyone's P99 experience, but that is what they enjoy doing. So in turn, you pushing and pushing and pushing to have this changed is ruining peoples fun. No matter how you try to spin this to make you look like you're helping everyone out people are going to, and already do, hate you for it.

My point is the message behind what P99 is to recreate the EQ experience from 1999-2001. Information indicates these exp gains weren't possible, so should be fixed. It really isn't about ruining or improving anyone's experience in the game, it is just about making the game more accurate to 1999-2001 EQ.

If you guys are this upset over ears and scalps you need to relax, save the tears for when everyone gets an accurate mana pool or can only have 2 bags open at once.

Also it doesn't use classic UI on purpose, rendering half of your bug reports pointless.

I sure do wish Wedar would dedicate himself to addressing things on the server that actually impact the server.

NTOV dragon loot tables not being classic in quantity.. Root duration on most mobs being absolutely fucked since it was "fixed" (green cons breaking level 54 root consistently).. Vulak rogue dagger being neither the first state (where it should be) or final state (where it should be with chardok revamp) - but being the weird second-tier version..

Lifetaps being resistable (not classic), pet exp penalty (should be removed by now), AC not working at all, MR having breakpoints instead of being per-point chance to resist.. Knight weapon skill patch, monk triple attack.. AoW being much, much harder than it should be.. There being three "different" Dains that are significantly easier/harder depending on which spawn (not classic)

Not to mention the hundreds of other non-classic really pressing issues.. But hey, at least level 20 alts will have to group again.

[mickmoranis]

Look. Im just glad we'll manage to make yet another (of the tiny few remaining) classic zones, OBSOLETE after velious.

[Rygar]

I don't pretend to know the technical reasons behind using the Titanium client. It may have been because the client had a lot of exploits and bugs worked out of it compared to Trilogy client, maybe it was thought to be more readily available in the marketplace compared to the Trilogy when they started P99. Maybe at some point they will switch to the Trilogy client (songs of praise will be sung) and those bug reports that weren't possible due to 'client issue' will now become relevant. I will stay the course.

In regards to putting weight on allakhazam comments... sometimes you have to go with what you have. Other sources are out there as well, you can find idiots everywhere. You can't just rely on a few idiots / flamers coming across as misinformed as representative of anyone.

In the cases of Left Goblin Ears, Gnoll Scalps, and Orc Scalps I asked: Did the dev team come across any information that states the P99 exp gains on this quest are accurate? If there was other information out there that was contradictory to what I posted, I would welcome it. Get to researching if you don't like it and get it repealed!

[Ket]

Probably tomorrow I will post a comprehensive drop history on near all raid mobs. I expect that to have some impact. Every loot table will show odds for each item as well as how many drops per kill.

In regards to Dain, I at least came across 2 versions during loot table research: 'Weak Dain' and I think he was called '425 Dain'. Something about some versions would have a low max hit, but others would either hit or bash for 425 or something extremely fast. Not sure what the 3rd version may be. In that regard, there should at least be 2 different Dain's spawning. I never raided on P99 much to know much about how those encounters work on P99.

Keep in mind I'm not on the dev team, some of these things you mention would require me to do some coding. Stuff like Knight defense has been established and acknowledged, but something is wonky that they just need to hopefully figure out at some point.

[skarlorn]

For all you naysayers and complainers. If there's something that needs to be fixed, why don't you try researching, finding evidence, and then compiling a compelling bug report such as Wedar the Great?

Wedar is an inspiration. Go forth. Find evidence that will make p99 more classic.

How did CB belts/pads squeak through this change? Soon we’ll have A/A shouting concede over leggos. I can remember doing cb belts and pads circa 2000 and the most exciting part I remember was getting the leather pieces. I don’t think the xp for these quests should be bumped into the ground, but the current rate of return probably is too high.

I looked into those and bone chips briefly. It seemed confirmed that they were crazy exp. I will investigate more in depth one day, but it may only be a minor change. Perhaps a level cap was maybe implemented at some point, but I don't know.

[loramin]

It's not classic. If you think it is you're delusional.

Ding ding ding, you win the prize! Project 1999 is not classic ... and that's the entire point.

Green, should it ever get released, will be classic, or at least as classic as possible. Of course there's some things that simply can't be re-created perfectly unless a mythical lost copy of the old Verant source code turns up, but aside from those things Green will be classic.

But Green isn't ready yet, and the only way for it to be ready is if the developers work on it ... and where do they do that work? Ding, ding, ding, you win another prize: they do it on Blue, ie. the "almost classic but still a work in progress" server.

Dain has 3 different versions.. One can bash, one hits as if he's using frostreaver - regardless of using frostreaver or not -- and one hits as if he's dual wielding, regardless of dual wielding or not with a higher max hit.

NTOV dragons should be consistently dropping 3-4 items, and on average drop 1-2.. That is a game-breaking huge issue imo, that should deserve top-tier respect when approaching non-classic bugs... even from non-raiding players.

If Zeriphra's Dagger of Blood is supposed to be 11/17 with Feast of Blood (which it never had in any iteration.. dunno how that even happened..) - then Gharn's Rock of Smashing should be 6/13. They are updated the exact same patch.

Another drastic over-sight considering that Gharn's is currently the strongest item in the game at 16/19 while proccing the unresistable Strike of the Chosen. It's updated the SAME patch that Zeriphra's Dagger of Blood becomes Mrylokar's Dagger of Vengeance.. yet we have one and not the other.

Either Gharn's should be the nerfed pre-chardok/luclin patch version, or Zeriphra's should be Mrylokar's Dagger of Vengeance.. They're both from the same patch series, yet one is the garbage, while one best-in-game.. Not to mention Vulak consistently dropping 2 items, when there is over-whelming evidence to support it being 4 every kill consistently for years..

Primal Brawlstick should be 45/44 with avatar.. The stats currently held by the Priceless brawl stick, yet the Primal one remains terrible.

Pet exp mod (-50% exp on mobs that your pet out damages you on) was removed before velious even came out.. but two years into velious, pet classes still getting screwed..

Or you could dedicate the time to finding a working AC solution, because at current AC on p99 is a broken stat with no value borderline at all.. Same with MR -- two huge game mechanics are just flat out not working.

Why focus time/energy at all onto petty shit like goblin ears giving level 20's too much exp, and forcing them to group when there's huge glaring server issues? In my opinion, your time/researching talents could be well, well spent twards the genuine betterment of the community -- instead of bizarre nit-picky things.

I'm not trying to be shitty, I'm just saying the squeaky wheel gets the grease when it comes to fixing past updates.. and there's some that could really benefit a lot of the server.. nerfing goblin ear exp isn't one of them.

[Jimjam]

Forced into grouping is a classic experience shared by all. End game raiding is a minority niche for people that have already completed the game.

[Quinas]

pet exp penalty (should be removed by now)

I wish. But the change where if you do 1 pt of damage to the mob then you get full XP happened on 5 June 2002.

With this patch we've made some rather sweeping changes to the way pets work.

Pets will not attack mesmerized creatures. Pets basically treat mesmerized NPCs as if they were dead.
Pets are neutral to NPCs. Monsters will not attack pets first unless the pet is being aggressive to something.
Pets take 75% of the experience from a creature if no player does damage to that creature.
Pets take ZERO experience from a creature unless no player does damage to that creature.
The exception to the above rule is Dire Charmed pets, which will take a share of the experience scaled by the amount of damage they do. In most situations (with an active party, for example) the Dire Charmed pet will not take experience. Like all pets, they will take 75% of the experience if no PC does damage to the target. As long as a player does damage to a creature, a Dire Charmed pet will never take more experience than it used to.
Charmed NPCs will now respond to the /pet report health command.
/pet sit down command should now work on charmed NPCs.
Fixed a bug that was preventing reclaim energy from working on Magician Epic pets. http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20020605a.html

This be classic.

So where to start...

Nilbog has acknowledged the Myrlokar dagger thing, it was the only 'pre-revamp' item added in. He didn't want to implement pre-revamps across the board until all evidence was gathered on it to previous versions of weapons. At some point this will all be fixed (Ele gave me access to his spreadsheet, I just need to evaluate items and maybe find a few missing ones).

Vulak being 4 loots is not a thing until Ring event. Spoiler alert: No dragons in ToV should be dropping 4 items with the exception of Dozekar or Lend the Keeper. Triplets will be 1-2, Lords / Ladies / others should be dropping 2-3. Vulak should be 100% 3 loots prior to ring event.

AC solution: Demonstar55 PM'd details of the AC to Haynar, not sure where he is at with it. Major changes like that may involve re-tuning content, so it may be a long development cycle. Patience.

I don't know enough about pet mod, never looked into it. I do see evidence that grouping alone shouldn't eliminate pet taking 50% exp. Only if ALL group members aggregate damage out damage the pet then the pet does not take EXP.

I suspect the brawl stick thing may be tied to the velious weapon upgrades.

I work on what I want to work on, you could do the same. I'm sure the devs do the same. Some may like making visual changes, others may like fixing broken noob quests. Whatever floats the boat.

[skarlorn]

I'm so excited about this because it's going to reduce popularity of an over desired camp. GOBS in HHK will still be premium xp money and loot, but I anticipate an over correction which will cause leveling people to explore and discover new zones. HHK gobs are actually one of the least interesting camps in that level bracket. The coolest thing about it is using Osargen.

When this rolls out I'll try to release a little guide which helps illuminates other great camps for ppl in thr level range

They don’t make correct changes even with overwhelming data proving something correct. Check how many times I bumped that PoM thread. I gave up on trying to make this server “classic” ages ago. It’s p99 & I enjoy it.

Droolcups made me laugh though.

For all those saying I'm ruining quests and hindering players with these fixes... I would argue the quests are ruining your P99 experience. Exp gains were way too high and encouraged a printing press mentality for alts and high level players farming scalps and ears kept exp camps on lockdowns.

Things will improve because of this.

Fuck you Rygar.

the thing is there's so much that is not 'classic' on P99 to change one things and say because P99 is classic is really a joke, if anything powergaming was 'classic' i just enjoy when people hide under the guise of 'classic' EQ when this is and wont / cannot be pure classic EQ

You do understand that when making a great work of art you have to bring out what's in the stone, piece by piece, one chip at a time right?

Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test that it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.

This isn't like some game changer as gnoll fangs were. HHK usually sports a full group for goblins and by the time you ding out of xp you've acquired like two levels worth of ears at most and that seems like it's pushing it still.. its the zone XP that brings people to hhk, not ears. who cares.

Admittedly I just needed a punching bag and you were the first to present themselves on a quick scroll.
