Top Issue Before Release

[Knuckle]

With the increased power of Casters against high resist opponents it is critical to have AC properly increase mitigation before release. Right now the pure melee classes which are arguably the weakest classes in classic, are now even weaker than what live was like because AC does not provide increased mitigation. This is going to make leveling even more challenging, and makes them far weaker than they should be in PVP combat because they will suffer the same damage as a cloth class from pets or melee classes.

I don't particularly care to argue about built in hit rates for archetypes, I'm aware it is harder for a caster to hit a melee than vice versa, but a skeleton pet will hit a warrior as hard as a caster regardless of their gear.

Give us some incentive to strategize our gear for different PVP/PVE encounters as a melee, on live players would keep a set of high AC gear for pvp against melee opponents.

[Sprinkle]

top issues before release were : Release date

half the people originally here are gone due to slow progress

should not have even been announced till november at the rate they worked on it , would have been a great secret

[Nirgon]

Top issues:
AC in PvP
Guard/faction assist
Blind/stun/root/snare


All that's left I think?

Great thread. There's probably only 5 of us who plan on rolling Warrior, which is why this probably isn't getting as much attention as it should, but we'd appreciate knowing what the word is on AC mitigation status – as it's currently completely not working.

Avoidance seems to be working properly though. Is it possible to see a break down, similar to how Null posted the resist table, on how Agility and Defensive skill play into chances to miss, parry, dodge, and riposte?

[stonetz]

I think the melee AC / mitigation etc can be fixed on the fly without being a huge deal where blind landing a lot / root / snare removing SoW is going to affect everyone.

I'd say fix those and then tune melee as we go because it affects a lot less people, but do it quick because it sucks =)

[Nirgon]

Defense skill should also be having a hand aside from AC.

Melee wants to know before pumping 25 AGI into a wood elf warrior, versus going traditional AC meat tank

OMG GAMEBREAKING PATHING EXPLOIT AT LEVEL 10!

Shut up, retard.

I've found and reported (that have now been fixed) more pathing exploits than you've ever seen. Including two others in CB alone...

They fix things as they can. They're shorthanded because of the shitty community and stress/quitting. They'll get to the inconsequential shit (cb pathing exploits, fucking rofl) when they can.

[Sprinkle]

camping the crushbone throne room is an epic milestone in EQ on fay , its great xp very very fun and gives that awesome eq feeling

it requires group teamwork , cc pulling etc and can be rewarding and fun


the hole in the table is a very big deal and it was very much broken well into kunark , which basically says alot

Maybe some people dont care but when i saw that my first week of p99 i quit immediately

p.s

harrison , dude your still so mad

better stock up on razorblades and huggies for the big roll

Only read the first 3 replys and you missed the top issue...

Item recharging will be the top issue of all issues, unless attended to.

Right now you can recharge insta clicky death wands for 500pp, pvp will be fucked.

Hopefully some sane person fixes this.

2 possible solutions.

Make recharging ridiculously expensive to do.

Remove item recharging all together.

Having paladins with 6 insta clicky lay on hands, all wizard with the power to burst out 4k dps within a second and anyone who raids vox the ability to rez 10 people insta click is just the beginning of what's coming with the current item recharge bullshit.

PS: what rechargeable item gives Pallies the ability to LoH six times? And what item gives Wizards the ability to do 4000 damage in a second?

A) lessen nuke damage

B) more cat pictures

[Rykk]

paladins soulfire is probably the item hes talking about but tis only 5 times but im not sure if u can recharge it. as for the wizard item im thinking hes talking about the one that drops in hate maybe? not sure

[Nirgon]

You can't recharge it because you can't sell it to a vendor (soul fire).

Classes other than paladin can use it from their inventory too.

Recharging:

If you are not against this in some form, you are crazy.

We, Holocaust, are going to utilize the current iteration to the fullest extent possible. For brevity, it means we are going to destroy you in every encounter because our members will have all available clickies and the plat to recharge them as needed.

We're also huge advocates of CHANGING the current form of recharging, or removing it entirely. Again, we (much like many of you) can see where pvp fights are headed if it's not changed.

[Crenshinabon]

Why are there no dev responses on these remaining issues. I am starting to get worried.

Top issues by far atm are.

-AC mitigation does nothing in pvp.
-Recharging insta click items is freaking broken for any casual player.
-Guards still do not assist in pvp fights allowing grief of newbies in towns.
-Stuns land way too often.

Null, Nillbog, Emp Rogean, Amelinda, anyone got anything on a fix?

AC mitigation they know about and are already working on it.

Recharging instant clickers is something good for casuals cause all hardcores will farm the items 500x times if recharging don't work and will have them anyway,

Guard assist they are also already working on and have said so 100 times on the forums already,

Stuns landing to often? What stuns are landing to often? Cause it's definitely not Wizard stuns cause they aint landing for shit, costing shitloads of mana and doesnt last for shit.

[pasi]

From those parses, I think the overall damage intake between INTs and Warriors isn't too far off from an ideal point (87% vs 64% hit rate). You're talking a ~40% difference in melee on a warrior vs a caster when you factor in 100AC as a 1.58% increase in mitigation.

With that said, it's stupid that 100 AC is only a 1.58% increase in mitigation. This screws warriors relative to non-INTs (well, pending if you thinka 40% difference is large enough). Since this basically means that casters are getting crushed while rogues and WIS casters are mitigating like warriors and monks are taking the least damage from melee.

Ideally, we want overall melee damage intake to look like Plate Tank > Monk (via avoidance) > Bard/Cleric >> Chain >> Druid > INTs. So yeah, decrease the relative potency of avoidance AC and increase the potency of mitigation AC seems like a good end goal from here.

Double the effect of AC from 100AC:1.5% to 100AC:3%, decrease the relative miss gap (ie, how often an attack misses, not counting combat skills) by 1/2. Without including combat skills, the parse shows a 26% warrior miss rate and a 10% caster miss rate. Half the relative miss gap would be 8%. So, the naked Warrior hit rate would go from 64% to 72% while the value of AC doubles.

Not sure how easy that is to actually input.

No GM past or present could handle leading 300 people on a pvp server after a dragon when it's obvious to everyone that none of the players in said guild have ever pvp'd before.

Every single one of said staff, past or present, wouldn't be able to handle the competition of forces who have been playing pvp 5+ years, especially on the Emu releases.

I state as evidence that your original rant is nothing more than a bunch of grown ass men getting their feelings hurt and running away.

It was "obvious" to me that you had never pvp'd before when I handily killed you in a 1 on 3 in possibly the most unbalanced matchup (in your favor), in addition to making you run/camp/gate every single subsequent time we were in the same zone because the thought of a "bluebie" killing you again would shatter what little street cred you have in the pvp community. But then it turned out that you had pvp'd before and you're just like a dumb dog that can't learn how to play even after years of playing this game.

Salty, until I met you I had never known someone with such delusions of grandeur. You will always be mediocre. Please realize this before your crushing failure on red99 at the hands of my guild causes you to consider suicide.

Live: The game was new, the first 2 years which is considered the classic period only about 20% of the entire population found out about the good items and recharging, thus resulting in "not a big deal" considering were all pretty much eq experts here (besides you of course) we know that all these items abused will fuck up pvp.

Red99Beta: Well there are already people spamming golem wands making all buff classes useless, since no one gives a shit on beta no one cares to farm these items (the harder ones). Neither has anyone raided fear so the clicky sticks for wizards have not been abused obviously.

Paladins have soulfire, first part of the paladin epic, 5 charges complete heal, instant cast.

Wizards get wand of conflaguration 5 charges instant cast conflaguration (i think)

There are also other game breaking items with many charges that are incredible easy to attain, such as the snare staff from warrens, drops from a lvl 10 mob gives you 10 charges instant cast darkness.

Let's face it, no one wants recharging pvp, it simply just doesn't require any skill to spam a button with instant cast items, and the only reason it "turned out okey" on live was because no one knew about these items.

In basketball you get either 2 or 3 points from scoring, so that's the first inaccuracy in your post. Secondly, Wand of Conflagration has 3 charges. Thirdly, Soulfire isn't rechargeable because it's no-drop. Fourthly, you still didn't respond to what I said about how you could nerf charges after they're discovered to be a problem, rather than pre-emptively, which is what you're suggesting. Instead you just gave me an example of where this was possible (Ivandyr's Hoop on blue99), further proving that you're wrong.

So clearly you don't understand how either basketball or item recharging works.

[Knuckle]

[Melveny]

Item charging should stay in, it is classic.

Everyone sounds worried about insa gib wands from planes and ledge. Ok throw a no drop tag on them and call it a day. There is no sense in caster insta gib wands ruining recharging for everyone.

As it currently stands though, those wands are lore. So on a no boxing server to recharge them you will have to to through a stupid amount of effort to do so. Only easy way I can think of requires a second person to designate a slot from inventory or bank and help u with the recharge EVERY time. If some fool is this pathetic, let them have it.

You all also sound like this is a feature that can't be changed later. Why are people so unwilling to give it s try, see if it has a place or is constant insta wand gibbing and then go from there.

[Cymbal]

its pretty damn easy to recharge a lore item...

i can tell u how to do it BY YOURSELF in 1 sentence but i want you to think...

dont hurt yourself

anyways,

why are we worried about recharging planar items? this can be fixed down the road if it gets out of hand

there are bigger problems to fix, ie spell damage.

totally agree

[PhantomRogue]

totally agree

Why not just modify the vendor code to check if an item has charges, make the cost quadrupled or something?

EDIT 1: Assuming the SellRate field in the Items database is the modification of the vendor price, just jack that up.

EDIT 2: Yup, Sell Rate determines how much the Vendor buys it for and how much it resells for, PRICE is how much they buy it for.

Run this SQL

update items
set sellrate = 4000
where [id] = 14313

Changes the sell rate on the golem wand from 100, to 4000. Isntead of selling for 100x the price, it now sells for 4000x the price (Price being what the merchant buys it at)

Only Paladins can equip it, anyone can use the charges from inventory. This has nothing to do with quickly recharging something at a vendor. It'd be a waste to use it in pvp for bragging rights. It'd be useful for finishing up tanking a mob when another raid force tries to kill you from behind while engaged on something to free up your healers etc.

Soulfire's fine. Drain soul, shock of swords and conflag wands are pretty rare and you need to get two of them to drop. I recharged conflag wands on live (full one on an alt, main one on me) and on a no drop server, a sunstrike + a wand dump was enough to kill really anything. An ice comet + wand dump would be really brutal too, almost definitely a kill on a lower resistance target. I'd see these as a nice thing to have. By the time a group has 2 wands (btw you have to have 2 people involved they're lore), resist gear should be pretty abundant.

That said, I'm still in favor of fixing item recharges on vendors.

I didn't know it was once a week. That can add up but I thought Lucan was the tougher to find spawn. Only 4 hours on Allakhazam.

welcome to classic eq ;)

It becomes a daily spawn I think once epics come out.

Those are all different things and it's the issues the Devs has been working on the most to fix. Are you trying to thank me or what?

Thanks but it's not my issues. It's server issues and all of the issues ive reported has been changed or are in the process of being changed.

You seem to stupid to understand the difference between reporting an issue and crying about known issues over and over in several thread.

Fix armor, thanks

I think the point's across for what we're hoping gets fixed in time. If not, probably soon after and hopefully the sooner the better (like before people get a meaningful amount of AC).

Seems pretty obvious you didn't play during the live era. Soulfires are absolutely worth using in pvp encounters. Pandemonium used them to win a best of the best tournament against people who had them severely out geared.

Furthermore Golem wands are going to be recharged like fucking crazy, which is personally my biggest problem with item recharging on a pvp server. A soulfire still takes a lot of effort, a golem wand does not and can completely and easily change the outcome of a pvp encounter.

The nuke wands are a big deal as well especially since they are practically a common drop and you'll only need you and a pal to have them for the rest of your play time. If item recharging is left in everyone will be forced to do it in order to stay competitive and the game will devolve into a contest of how many instant cast clickies you have.

[Tombom]

I am mostbitter about golem wands.

no but really, total horseshit classic or not.

[Nirgon]

I saw all of 0 Soulfire clicks used in pvp on RZ until Kringe started carrying one on his warrior. This was of course after Lucan became a more regular spawn. Full guilds won't be carrying them to contest spawns every week, let alone duke it out at the Lavastorm druid portal or wtfever.

To win a best of the best? Yeah sure, great. To use on a wipe your ass with it basis? It's gonna run out real fast bud.

Oh and just for the sake of mentioning it, you know Rallos won the Test of Tactics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6qoMoRN2Jk), right?

Ssok (the Strategist's) weapon (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=56973) for winning.

Just did a group PvP. Stuns and Roots CCing people with a bard in group @ 180MR. As beneficial as it was to me, that's just not right. What's the point of resists at that rate?

[juicedsixfo]

Pretty ridiculous. Not sure what good armor is or even resists at this point.

[Nirgon]

Big Null, any word on if you intend to change root/stun/snare etc. Armor I think is a given whenever you can get it nailed down.

How long were the stuns and roots lasting?

[Prova]

Few seconds, when someones strafing around its very challenging to get hits in, those seconds drop people like flys. Literally, in a group thats running all around chasing someone, the stun will pause them for 2-3 seconds which is enough for the 3 or so melee to get maybe 2 combat rounds a piece, which can be enough to drop a caster entirely or take them to maybe 20%? A second or two might not seem like a big deal but it really is.

yea thats why i said stuns and roots/snares need to be 95% or more resisted when u hit the 150 MR point...some idiots like lovely apparently thinnk they need to be somewhat left in at 75%...right now stuns are like 50% with 150mr or something totally crazy
