I need 3 hotkeys for pet commands at all times, while having access to at least 3 of my spells.

Then use alt+#? Seems like you don't lose anything if you just get gud

Sure, i can shift through sets, but i st ill need all those keys, and its constant switching just to post "Malisini landed on %t" etc. This forces us to rely more on discord, which is not classic, if you want to look at it that way.

I just do not think the quality of life UI and Pet window changes are prudent. I'm not asking for AA's.

Wait til its just 6 hotkeys and only 1 hot bar. I guess you might have to break your wrist and click page 2.

All of the macro text so commonly used today might have to go as well.. dear lord what will we do?. If everyone doesn't know exactly what is going on at all times how will we calculator math what should be done next?

Also 1 chat box.

(no discord or voice :D)

If you mages think you have it bad...

...what about a soloing enchanter or necro?

Its far worse. I'm not going to stop playing over it...but yeah...the pet bar was a QoL thing that didn't need to be removed. It didn't hurt anyone nor hinder immersion.

Makes you wonder why Enc and to an extent solo charm necro is so powerful here on P99. Oh well, the good ones will still be doing their thing and will adapt.

Bard will not have it either but they can get a feel for things, the good ones. Hell I hardly used the pet window charm kiting, few beats then change up.

lol

"imagine how the most over powered class in the game feels about this quality of life improvement you're taking from it"

People have been playing this server while watching Netflix.

Using GINA, improved UI, Discord...

"lol this is easy"

(Ban GINA even though I like the RP aspect of a gnomish device)

Edit: I can't really do anything about the super nice, highly functional communication services though. Think it must've took some amazing yet primitive organization to raid at the drop of a hat at any hour back in the day when most were posting messages on yahoo or AIM. Everyones grandmother and the family dog didn't have a cellphone either.

"P99 raiding is broken.. gimme more stuff to break it" *pounds fists and feet*

I like the pet window. It felt normal and organic, like sheet music for a pianist.

If the game really wanted to be immersive, then get rid of the party window. Now you can only target people in visual range (makes sense) and healers have to watch the field in order to see who needs help, or people need to communicate it.

I wish there was some way to block people from using voice chat. Very unimmersive!

@OP the real "toilet" is using Titanium features on a Velious server

{';getclassicbaby:

It's just a lot of extra, wasted clicks. The devs want us all to have carpal tunnel syndrome.

Hope you're ready for lots of extra Shift+# clicks.

brad mcdonald was adamantly against the pet window during alpha which is why it was removed in 1995. i for one am glad for his fever dreams
