I still dont believe the Shissar gloves ever had Transmute hammer in any non-bugged state...think about it...why would a Caster NO DROP item into the tradable cleric Vibrating Gauntlets/Hammer?????? Thats a bug period.

Implementing them that way is beyond retarded and most certainly a mistake IF indeed the first sets of Shissar Gloves had the 'Effect:Transmute Hammer'. You are basically saying that people if people accidentally clicked on their gloves they lose them forever? WTF

Its laughable that you are holding quotes of random people, from all levels and raid experience, who are simply speculating n discussing Vibrating gloves in general as any kind of evidence. No one is definitive about anything in your links and its all a bunch of hearsay. So if thats all you got to prove VS should drop the Overkings gloves then I am sorry, that shouldnt be enough to get it changed on this server.


Maybe I am completely wrong and off base - but it seems yourself ( a cleric ) are trying to get another source of Vibrating Gloves out there......But on the flip side - you could simply say that since I also have cleric who own's those gloves I am vehemently trying to protect my investment in them

So in that respect it seems we are even and no change should be implemented bc of our personal biases and lack of hard evidence suggesting VS actually dropped the Vibrating gloves

because one more time ..........Shissar Gloves with incorrect effect != VS dropping the actual Vibrating Gauntlets -- MAYBE in the mind of those who ran EQ websites, VS indirectly dropped them by proxy via the incorrect effect and thusly it was added to his loot table for some websites since if the gloves had an effect to turn into Vib gloves its basically the same as if he dropped the gloves themselves ( even tho he did not, he only dropped gloves that transmuted into the Vibrators )

Just bc something is bugged and confused a shit ton of uninformed people 15 years ago doesnt mean it should be added in here retroactively

I think I have said enough as I am sure many eyes are rolling reading lol

I don't doubt it wasn't intended, but there's pretty compelling evidence it was in, that it was in at least until October of 2000 - possibly Jan/Feb of 01. There's TONS of stuff in EQ that didn't work as intended, was OP, was buggy, was downright wrong. This is all classic =P.

Nobody ever claimed he dropped the vibrating gloves, just that the clicky on the shissar gloves was a means to acquire them.

And yes, this sort of thing IS what P99 is about. It's about recreating the classic experience bugs, dev mis-types, OP mechanics, warts, and all. That's exactly what many posts on this forum are about and what many patches/dev fixes are all about - recreating the minute, odd, quirky, poor-decision things that Verant implemented 15 years ago.
