Late Game post velious changes:

[Gustoo]

Add shorty hybrids?

[Gustoo]

It's really that I would like to be a halfling ranger.

And some people want to be gnome SK's

I don't think they impact balance.

I voted no, because of a strict love of classic, but I think it would make sense to be one of the perks of the blue server (or the red99 server) that becomes like the retired permanently at the end of the timeline server that it gets this small change added as a bonus feature.

But maybe for some people its a big negative and they don't want it contaminating their otherwise happily at end of velious timeline server.

[Crede]

Yes, gnome Sks with haste arms would be pretty imba. I’d make one in a heartbeat

[Gustoo]

Maybe one day I will be a gnome guy but right now I just don’t vibe with them. I do have a shorty affinity in this game so maybe I need to dig deep into my heart and find the gnome in it. They’ve always been a bit evil for my taste. Being able to make telescopes is nice though.

Do the new combos add any new factions? Might be a decent amount of work if so. Otherwise I don't see a lot of harm. Might as well release beastlords while your at it. At which point you may as well release Luclin.

It's settled then. Luclin release coming fall 2021.

Cheers.

Adding Beastlords, even without Luclin (just BAR,TRL,OGR, IKS) would wreck balance hard (Not to mention Epic wouldn't be doable). Beastlords were SO busted. Melee class that can haste, slow, buff, regen, and has a pet that's almost on par with mage and necro....like seriously the only thing I missed when I played a Beastlord was root and snare. Pet procs even interrupted casters!

You do know enchanters, shamans and necros already exist right? Beasts are in no way busted compared to the already absurdly unbalanced classes in solo p99.

Jolanar I would edit your post. Affirming luclin is a bannable offense.

Did not know that. Edit button already gone. RIP my account [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm just goofing around, sorry if I tricked you. (Diety Selection: Bristlebane)

The vanilla class / race combinations are pretty good. The exception might be barbarian rogues just because they are OP vs other rogue races due to throwing boulders, and how do barbarians sneak? Conan always had to hire a rogue. It doesn't seem to fit with the Tribunal lifestyle. I wonder if there is a D&D connection for the barb rogue.

Just picture Frodo in the role of Strider / Aragorn in lord of the rings and you can see why a halfling isn't a ranger.

The race / class restrictions in EQ are a cool aspect.

I think rogues can fit into tribunal. The courts need detectives to gather evidence, maintain underworld contacts, perform assassinations to right/prevent greater injustices, no?

Also, reminds me of the comic where Hulk and Wolverine goes undercover. No one buys it, but they’d rather deal with these two’s under cover identities than get in a scrap with the real deal.

140 Str Barbarian just stole crown jewels? Nope I didn’t see you, just get out before I notice you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I do agree the restrictions add more flavour than they remove. The quirky religions combos are enough. I wish halfling wars could bristlebane. Combat unfortunately has gallows / black / physical comedy, right?

[Jimjam]

I'd like some non classic combos.

I think I mentioned the prankster Halfling Shadowknight of Bristlebane previously (makes more sense to me for the church of mischief than a paladin).

Things like barbarian bards or iksar rogue guild (based outside cabilis and KoS to the main city?) would be fun too.
