Brad McQuaid to Rogean: Yellow text = classic

[Tyen01]

Lets not argue color semantics. Point stands, Broadcast message when you die to everybody. Just like Emperor Aradune says.

When you dueled somebody, it would say, "So-and-so beat so-and-so in a duel to the death." In beta we went in there and created a character called EverQuest and a character called Ultima Online. And then we would do a /kill on UO, so it would broadcast to everybody that EverQuest killed Ultima Online.

/deal with it

[Lasher]

So can you put in /duels are server wide? How about doing it for guild wars as well and making it so only guilds particpating in the guild war will see it

dont bann me

[Softcore PK]

I do not like the idea of "yellow text".

[Lasher]

Doesnt need to be yellow. Making it red or orange will suffice

[Rogean]

/duels used to be server wide. It was removed appropriately to only zone wide.

[Dfn]

Yellow text yes

[Tyen01]

/duels used to be server wide. It was removed

Removal not classic

[Nirgon]

How about weekly kill log ala SZ much, much later.

[Melveny]

I liked yellow text, and wouldn't mind it bring implemented or not. It was a useful tool for mass pvp and enforcing the play nice rules, bind camping or Bind rushing in mass pvp etc.

Bind campers would be punished, could easily tell who was bind rushing via advertisement. If we are policing I am for YT, if we arn't I am good with or without.

It may not be up for debate, jut my 2 cents. Don't ban me either omgz!

[Rogean]

Removal not classic

Yes it was.

[Lazortag]

I really wonder sometimes if Salty is, for real, retarded.

[mimixownzall]

/duels used to be server wide. It was removed appropriately to only zone wide.

So... NOW you're going to use the "It's not classic" argument?

You've already proven that whether it is classic or not is not going to be taken in consideration.

Dynamic range - not classic. (although I am for it, but could go either way)

90% of Null's input - not classic.

You have already thrown out the 'it's not classic' rebuttal.

[Basso]

Totally need yellow text man.

[Rushmore]

Yellow Text Zone Wide Only

[Palemoon]

Tools of griefers are to be avoided. We want to attract mature old school players to red99, not insane egomaniacs from VZTZ

[Titanuk]

yess for yellow text

[Sniperfire]

/duels used to be server wide. It was removed appropriately to only zone wide.
lol wait what

[MakeYouMad]

Null's "crowd control" system alters the game so much that it's equivalent to putting a mohawk on the Mona Lisa then saying that wiping a spec of dirt off the painting would make it not classic.

[MakeYouMad]

lol why do you even post here - you are going to get rolled and quit within the first 2 weeks, or not even play - whats the pt of your mental retardation?

Yellow text doesn't actually alter game play mechanics in any way.

It's absurd to allow Null to drastically alter balance for every class with his custom VZTZ crowd control stuff while saying yellow text isn't allowed since it's not classic.

[Titanuk]

null make you mad

[Doors]

Yellow text makes the server feel more alive. Not to mention it lets everyone know where the pvp is at bros. These faggots saying its just a griefing tool need to grow a set of balls.

[Sprinkle]

yellow text is lame and i dont think he will ever add it so give up imo

What's funny is that you guys seem to think we were going to strictly adhere to 'classic' for the pvp server. On the contrary we would like to make it somewhat interesting and fun for everyone. Call it Custom Classic if you want, I don't give a shit.

[Softcore PK]

Whatever ends up being the final resist system, I am sure we will all have fun :)

[Misto]

I don't give a shit.

Yellow text is somewhat interesting and fun for everyone. If you don't like it you can turn it off in your settings.

[Scribbles]

The reason people think this is because staff gives it as the reason for tons of decisions.

[Bockscar]

Maybe continent-specific so it's useful as a way to inform players if there's PvP going on somewhere nearbyish but doesn't spam the whole server insanely if there's 500 people online and someone gets killed every ten seconds. Dunno if content-only is possible, but it'd be neat. The only valid argument against yellow text is the potential spam, and the feature would serve a useful purpose beyond just dick-waving.

Lol, you guys are the ones calling out classic when making decisions.

What's funny is that you seem to forget this.

Its funny because Red 69 did everything the trolls wanted and no matter what was changed they didnt stick with it.
Now we have dynamic levels LOL
no Yt lol
but on the bright side the meat has been fed corn and is fattened...so its a coin toss in the end.

can we fix rangers too if were gonna fix broken stuff?

[AffEcT]

I don't know if yellow text server wide is a good idea.
But i do think zone wide would work.
So you know if anythings going down in the zone.

Are you retarded? Red69 was more buggy than vztz.

They couldn't even get frogloks in uguk to not see invisible.

SHHHHH!


Don't let anyone find out that Yellow Text or Leaderboard are classic!

It may not be classic but it's the right thing~

Good.

I ultimately trust you and Null to give us a good PvP server.

Null is not some jackass bluebie - he knows what he's doing with the resist system. And since I've played more red than 99% of this forum, here's the reality check for the handful of vocal whiners: a strictly-classic resist system is utter shit. Degree of severity dependent on the era (Kunark was the closest to "balanced"), and gives Hardcore Neckbeard Raid Player an overwhelming advantage because he spent 90 hours in the planes getting Blue Diamond Everything.

It's a shitty, unfair system. Melees get screwed initially. And then Rangers, Enchanters, Clerics all get fucked once everyone breaks the MR hard cap.

Custom resist system: deal with it.

[MakeYouMad]

It was actually the exact opposite. Pure melee with terrible gear and 100MR were actually useful on EQ live. On VZTZ, if you didn't have the best gear on the server, there was no point in playing a melee over caster at all.

Listen PK lesbian, warriors have 50MR while naked at level 50. All you need is bloodstained mantle, runed bone fork, 7MR bracers x 2, and Skull shaped barbute to hit 94MR.

[stonetz]

I had a shit geared war in classic and broke 100MR, not that tough. Like mad said and add another 8MR if you can wear a DRT.

[Glam]

pandemonium.......remember the guild from the time i was in Påhojen Kilta and they ruined the server because they started a mixed guild and killed everyone since we couldnt kill evil races who healed them..........

they where nr1 when I stopped to play EQ for WoW

[Wonton]

Listen PK lesbian

LOLL

keyword being: terrible

You take these things for granted.

He's talking about a level 50, a 50 could easily drop the 20pp or however much for +7 MR bracers, small amount for BS mantle. RBF / SSB might be a little more early on but not that bad. That gets you pretty close to 100MR and I'd be surprised if you can't get those in the time it takes you to get to 50. Assuming you're focused on getting resist gear.

Everquest Classic plug-in for those who don't like change: Removes new code and un-classic code.
By beccacaddyon October 4, 2011 Comments (1) Share22

So I think EVERYONE knows that Everquest emu has been busy making a LOT of changes, we now have new code , we'll soon all have a Timeline and the network has taken it upon itself to decide what content you want to play by placing (what it thinks are) "top code" first on your computer.
However, according to Lifehacker there's now a plug-in which not only rearranges your code so that recent kills are at the top and older ones are at the bottom again, but it also removes the blue triangle that marks new code AND removes the bad new code changes.

We're big believers in accepting change here at Shiny Shiny, but if the New Code makes your blood boil and you're sick of missing things because they're not coded right , then give the Everquest Classic plug-in a whirl.

Just found this on the interwebs.

Very interesting.

[Knuckle]

christ can we have a /yell wide yellow text at least?

[SearyxTZ]

It was actually the exact opposite. Pure melee with terrible gear and 100MR were actually useful on EQ live. On VZTZ, if you didn't have the best gear on the server, there was no point in playing a melee over caster at all.


It was exactly what I said it was, and you are 100% wrong. I played on VZTZ more than anyone whose names don't rhyme with Suckle or Mexx.

The classic EQ resist system allowed you to become effectively immune to CC, stuns, magic-based nukes, etc. The gap between a melee with 50 MR and a melee with 110 MR was massive, and the fact that the curve allowed you to hit over 95% resistance to anything made it imbalanced to the point where several classes were rendered either useless or underpowered against anyone with moderate gear (Enchanters, Clerics, Rangers).

That same gap was less glaring on VZTZ, because the resist curve was smarter. The most you could flat-out resist a spell was in the 80's (rather than near-100%). Partial resists were frequent on CC spells. This prevented situations like someone landing an Ensnare that lasts for 15 minutes. In classic it was near impossible to land anyway, but when you did land it, it was stupidly overpowered. Effectively capping resists around 85-90% (instead of 95-99%) also meant that there's not quite as much of a gear advantage to be had.

Remember that guy on TZ (you don't, but let's pretend you do) during Velious who was fucking horrible at the game, but unkillable because he was in the top raid guild and had all of those sparkly Uber Raid Items he got from playing 80 hours a week?

Yeah - we don't want that this time around. Let's not do that.

getting better knuckle

zone-wide YT is the perfect solution

/yell-wide YT is a pittance, but better than nothing

they arent putting in yellow text stop bumping this and go away

yellow text is fucking dumb
