You will now hover over your corpse for 2-4 secounds after death

[gloinz]

Rogean: You will now hover over your corpse for 2-4 seconds after death before zoning.
(There is currently a client restriction on using /yell or /loc in that timespan, I'm working on overriding it.)

ya'll girlymen might be able to catch a glimpse of the predator pvp champ after he slays you now

not classic

One of the big points in pvp can be to kill the person that calls targets. It is a huge advantage to do so and disrupts the chain of command. Don't do this.

[gloinz]

it is classic aint it i remember whenever i died (which was never so im not sure why i remember this..) you floated above for a sec and the DOOM music played for a couple secs, then you find yourself in rivervale bind point again and the jolly halfling music would commence

[Darwoth]

yeah i remember looking down at my newb corpse a number of times for a few seconds after gnolls got done kicking my ass over my shoulders.

[dusk883]

I sorta remember the hovering thing was a part of the TZ server for a month or something. You could see people lootin your corpse. Then it just didn't happen anymore.

[nilbog]

not classic

Did you play classic?

[Rust1d?]

I do not remember this being classic, however I have not played classic since 2002.

[nilbog]

What the fuck guys.

Okay when you died, you could see your body laid out. For a couple of seconds.. sometimes with npcs still running against it.

(I think?) this was also the case for bleeding to death. It would show your body like you were dead, but say 'you're bleeding to death', and you would have a purple bar. If you regained enough hp to not be purple, it would switch back to first person view.

[Doors]

LOL REXX LOL man did you even play on classic live servers bro? Xegony doesn't count either.

Good thing this went in so Gloin can hover over his corpse after I coin him and contemplate what went wrong after the fight. Hopefully Rogean over rides the computer AI so I can make a shout macro and spam racist shit the second I hit the dirt.

[Humerox]

confirmed classic

[Rust1d?]

Okay, then can you make it like 5-10 seconds so I have enough time to run up to your corpse and crouch/stand repeatedly to make it look like I am shitting on you?

[Doors]

Does anyone know if Rexx actually played classic EQ red servers or is he just some degenerate WoW failure that found vztz? Need confirmation, my faith in his ability was shaken whenever he rage quit the beta after getting bind camped by bluebies.

[Amuk]

I don't know Doors or Rexx tbh but I guess Rexx was a big name on vz/tz 1.0 or some shit and it just seems like you're riding his dick. Regardless, I wouldn't take beta too serious - "leave beta testing to the noobs" is a pretty common theme I've seen from any decent player.

[Doors]

The more veteran players are actually just past their prime. Rexx is a good example. Think of a running back in the NFL at age 35 when you think of Rexx. Washed up, maybe a one year contract is in the works, he might score a touchdown here and there but hes the past and someone like me (Arian Foster) is the future.

Beta is like preseason. Rexx will be riding the bench while the real superstars are out there.

[Bockscar]

I wonder why time was devoted to such an utterly pointless feature.

[Doors]

Because its classic. If you don't like classic EQ bro this is the wrong game for you. Eat shit and die.

[Sprinkle]

i hope devs arent working on stupid shit like this waiting for release , core mechanics seem fine i dont see what the hold up is

[nilbog]

@people complaining

Eat dicks. You do not control dev time.

[Doors]

Are people arguing with Lady angel Nilbog? This isn't world of warcraft. If you want to play world of warcraft talk to Rexx I think he renewed his account after he got his asshole o-ring blown out and bind camped into global OOC shitstorm cryfest and quit the beta.

[Amuk]

Eh Doors, you take this shit too seriously. And to be completely honest - a huge portion of eq is the guild you're in, another huge portion is play time. Camping a naked beta monk because it's a well known player is just how noobs try to make a name for themselves. I don't blame you - and TBH this is the same reason I argued against YT, noobs will camp low level/undergeared people to try to spam their name and pretend to be good.

If he grinded a monk to 50 on beta I will imagine he will have a decent play time, and I know he's playing with quality people - so once he's geared in a proper assist train you'll be seeing a different story. I already know you know all of this, but incase anyone is reading your shit and thinking "wow this doors guy might be good" you've proven literally nothing.

[Doors]

Is Rexx even still alive? Does anyone know if he hung himself from his ceiling fan after he got owned on a beta with 10x exp? I think I read some of an article once that when people fail at Everquest and give all their gear away then quit they usually commit suicide.

If someone has Rexx's phone number please call him and make sure he is alright, thanks, love Doors.

[Amuk]

k

[Muaar]

Pain and suffering hit you for 50? or something like that

Doors trolling badly as usual. It takes a sad person to post watered down 4chan-esq trolls and think they're funny or original, but I guess that's Fish Bait's thing. It would be sort of funny if you were ironic about it but the truly hilarious thing is that you guys are the most butthurt people on this server.

Actually when you describe the event, I do. But it was a very, very, very brief, restricted and top down view and you couldn't move.

You are 100% right.

[Rogean]

Nobody remembers the people that would get off 2-3 /yell's in the time they were dead before they zoned, and it would come across the screen as something like "Rogean's_corpse014 yells for help from in front of you!"

[Bockscar]

Better fix /yell. It wasn't working last time I played on P99.

Desert tarantulas should be in nro, not dune tarantulas!!

This is directly in response to making me remember this and being wrong in a previous post.

this is all true
i remember that purple bar being a couple hp bigger on classic though, would frequently get back up in low levels when the NPCs hit softer but i aint whinin :D

showeq spawnlog from circa summer 2000 shows both desert tarantulas and dune tarantulas.

desert tarantula, a Northern Desert of Ro 7 9 170 210 Spider, Giant Warrior (829,57), (571,679), (388,-606) dune tarantula, a Northern Desert of Ro 11 13 280 320 Spider, Giant Warrior (-1620,905), (-1358,155), (-406,298)

that was pixelated teabagging bro. get it right~

[Muaar]

I remember this because I would spam sit on their face

[Nirgon]

I dunno big Nilbog, I went through North Ro and saw *all* dune tarantulas and no one was out there, not a single desert tarantula. I'm not saying I remember no dune tarantulas out there at all, in fact I think they were but only as far back as that area past the middle derv camp. I said what I meant wrong :p.

[Not_Kazowi]

god i love how people cling to my nuts, i hardly even did anything this go around. server should be fun

This definitely happened, you could "bleed to death" for a long arse time, too.

[dusk883]

Also remember the ominous song that would play when you were hovering over your corpse, I don't think it kicked in while unconcious, but while dead.

Please put that in.

[Not_Kazowi]

do halfling and ogre food and water consumption rates coincide with classic on this server? please fix and make classic if not

[Muaar]

halfling rogues should be able to hide inside an ogres belly

[Doors]

Thank god Rexx didn't off himself. Looking forward to shit stomping him once box goes red live son.

[Dantes]

Hell yeah it's classic. I remember how disappointing it was to die and then see yourself there on the ground, dead. As if the game was rubbing it in.

Awesome feature. I remember this from back in the day!

[Silikten]

lol @ trying to talk a ton of shit before you zoned hahaha

yeah, you will do a lot of shit stomping while cheer leading from the side lines.



sorry pal you just arent apart of the big leagues. try harder

I remember that. I just didn't think it was a big deal. I like it though the way you fixed it.

Yes, you're correct. The doom and gloom music would play for a few seconds and then you would zone to respawn. EQ players were the original t-baggers, (rampant in modern halo and similar games)

[Muaar]

hahaha t-bagging, that's exactly what I was describing earlier. Forgot it's name. Especially funny in wolf form.
