Spell Casting and Ducking/Jumping

[Rogean]

This was how it worked in classic, as I and many others remember, that ducking during a spell cast did not immedietely interrupt the spell. It would only interrupt if you were in the duck stance when the spell finished.

Also proven by a quote I was given:

------------------------------
June 27, 2001 3:00 am
------------------------------

- Spell and Item Interruption: Ducking will now interrupt a spell
instantly. You will no longer be able to sit while using items or
casting spells. This will not affect bard songs, which will still work
as they always have, but will affect all items, even those with song-
like effects.

I'm hearing that jumping is still suppose to interrupt instantly? Can people confirm/deny this? If so I can consider making that change.

[Tanzoi]

Can jump about fine without interrupting the cast, it does fail to cast if you time the jump to finish mid-air though.
At least now you can med while CHing if mouse-playing, just need to stand up in the last second. ;p

I love this server. I just wish we didn't have to go overboard and cut our wrists. I like the fact that the server has classic content and will stop at Velious. I just think some things like game play / UI enhancements should be more like live.
Examples:
I would like duck to interrupt casting.
I would like pet window to show buffs.
I would like Shrink to work anywhere. (Seriously.. why not other than its not classic)
I would like pets to zone. (Yeah I am a Shaman and I hate zoning into combat without my pet)
I would like raid tools.
I would like ......

I know I want a lot and you are not likely to give it. Just saying I would like it.
I know I could create my own server but I don't have the programming knowledge.
/ramble off

Sorry in advance. Please don't hate me.

What this guy says is true. There are alot of improvements that could be made, like the pet zoning and showing buffs thing. As a necro, I hate getting a really good pet then an invite to somewhere in another zone. The bone chip cost is fine, but its annoying to have to recast my pet 5 times to get back to the good one =P

Just use shift+s to stop casting.

"But it's classic". Some people actually like it that way. It's challenging and feels more rewarding when you get a pet that's even or yellow to you.

I am a 99.9% classic purist. I think it's the best standard to accomodate everyone with. Any other standard is just silly and inconsistent. Sure not everything in classic was fun or even made sense, but at least adhering to that standard is consistent.

tell ya one thing that makes no sense not to have, guild management tool.....


no advantage in game, takes nothing away from it, just makes it easier to kick the riftraft out

I agree 100%.. I like classic but I dont like it 100%. I believe there is room for improvement without going retarded like SoE did.

On the other hand I agree with this. There must be a standard. people come here for classic. Where is line drawn?

Me... I would draw the line at the release of the moon kitties. Anything before December 4, 2001 should be considered classic for this server. As such the duck thing shouldn't have been taken out as it lays within the classic era that this server aspires to.

That's where I would draw the line. But this aint my server. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is the way we make the burgers here, if you don't like them, there are other places down the strip that make burgers different ways. We are not the Burger King of emulators.

Aeolwind summed it up pretty well in that post. This is Project 1999, not Project Burger King. Nobody's making you play on a classic server.

That reminds me of this.
