How to save a server

[Nirgon]

Alunova: Created new pathing for Veeshan's Peak.
(If you pull too many or aren't ready, no more bugging it out on the zone in pad boys)

Kanras: NPCs have the potential to gate starting at 20% of their health.
(Hoshkar / Trak no longer clown shoes encounters, yeah boo hoo Hoshkar is "hard" without this I know)

Kanras: Some mobs now have the ability to scan the surrounding area for new targets while already engaged.
(Now we're getting somewhere!)

Nilbog: Blue Diamond Jewelry has been changed until Velious.
(Way to man up and pull the trigger)

Kanras: Level 51+ buffs have a limited level range for the target they're being casted on.
(Classic as fuck)

Nilbog: You may no longer use Stalking Probes in Plane of Sky.
Nilbog: Sirran the Lunatic's level increased to 63.
(Almost got Nilbog the favorite dev post, finally, justice for Plane of Sky and classic raiding)

Nilbog: [PvP] Players zoning into Karnor's Castle no longer have issues with temporarily being too far away for melee.
(More of these pls, esp the quick easy ones. People will stfu about things.)

Alunova: Removed a pathing exploit in Permafrost Keep.
(And everything related, pro work)



How to save THIS server?
Unlimited range check on AoEs needs to go
5% chance to land regardless needs to go (read: root/snare SPAM. fine print: unless saving value cap for spell is not met, but we can start with just this gone.)
Highsun unresistable -> clearly you know who could fix this to make VP raidable. Let's try and copy paste that here.
Clockwork poison should resist as reliably as other stuns for their given values (read 100MR vs a stun -> 100 poison vs this bullshit)
T-Staff: Investigate on EQMac and close the book on it, one way or the other.

^This list will pull the PvP mechanics out of the "worse than VZTZ" zone, and, in fact will be pretty servicable until Velious is out and then patched a few times (read: many moons but we'll work with ya).

Because of the ease of pushing mobs on this server the gate change makes those dragons actually a lot easier

No problem with this.

Kanras: NPCs have the potential to gate starting at 20% of their health.

Not classic. Never happened. Also makes dragons who gate EASIER. They wont melee anymore after 20% but just chain cast gate.

Kanras: Some mobs now have the ability to scan the surrounding area for new targets while already engaged.

Agreed, glad invis pulling was fixed.

Nilbog: Blue Diamond Jewelry has been changed until Velious.
(Way to man up and pull the trigger)

Agreed, these were not in until Velious.

Kanras: Level 51+ buffs have a limited level range for the target they're being casted on.

100000% not classic. This was not put in until Velious.

Nilbog: You may no longer use Stalking Probes in Plane of Sky.
Nilbog: Sirran the Lunatic's level increased to 63.
(Almost got Nilbog the favorite dev post, finally, justice for Plane of Sky and classic raiding)

Agreed.

Agreed.

While I agree with the pathing fix this is not a classic fix for sure. I experienced in perma pre Velious more than anyone. The pathing was fubar then as well.


How to save THIS server?
Fix resist.
Change T-Staff to 1-8 sec stun.
Add 4 second cast time to golem wands.
