Item Recharging on Green/Teal

[this user was banned]

Should it be removed?

I don't think many people knew about it back in the day and to me, it feels like a classic "exploit" that really doesn't need to be in place. Removing it might make things like alchemy potions be more in demand which I feel would make things a bit more classic, but that's just my opinion.

It feels a bit dirty to spend a few plat for any class to be able to quad kite skeletons down in under a minute using very cheaply rechargeable items. I'm a bit on the fence about it because, honestly, I'd want to exploit it as well. How does everyone else feel about this?

I would laugh so hard if they did this

They removed item recharging on red. Made for a more classic feel. Should do it on green/teal too. As you said, recharging items for a few plat is cheesy.

Well classic was notoriously painful, but did people regularly recharge things like puppet strings back then? It there a good reason to keep item recharging in place when it could detract from the classic experience?

How exactly did it help make the game feel more classic?


Is there ever a good reason to keep an exploit in place simply because it was patched out post velious? I used to nuke mobs in mistmoore from the roof of the castle where there was no pathing. That exploit isn't here but technically should be.

Because people actually had to do the quests and camp the mobs to get powerful magic items??

And it allowed rare items to stay rare instead of endlessly cloning them at the cost of some plat.

Everyone wants a "fresh start" free from mudflation, then they fight to keep item duplication cheese in the game. /boggle

I mean, the faster timeline here will have a big effect on this. But in general I think that a lot of people who complained about mudflation on blue won't mind it when they're in on the ground floor of green/teal. It's really is as much a part of MMOs as it is an annoyance.

Only one I'd miss is the WC cap. Trying to find ports is for the birds.

A few plat on blue is a small fortune on green. You won't have every random going around recharging stuff. I mean, when I last played on blue a year ago, it was FAR from uncommon to have people in a high-level group who didn't even own a hat, who maybe had heard of it and knew what it was for but didn't want to pay to recharge it or didn't understand how to recharge it or whatever. Not too many people are going around recharging reapers or stocking 10 root nets, let alone wort pots or whatever. It'll be a LOT fewer on green.

It is suppose to be painful for good classes, oh no some ppl might actually have to grind faction and do the sarnak knight quest alot (if you dont know how to do this as a good race then you are a noob that likes EZ mode), the horror of having to play the game the way it was suppose to be played the ABSOLUTE horror.

I didnt say anything about it being a good or bad thing
