Nerf bard kiting...

[Champion_Standing]

Does anyone have any screens of anyone kiting an entire zone on a bard in 1999-2000? Plz post proof.

It may be classic in a sense that it was feasible with the code in the game, but back then there were hardware limitations that prevented it. Graphics card, processing power, shitty internets, etc meant it was likely a death sentence to aggro a whole zone.

Hardware isn't a deterrent nowadays.

So it comes down to what each individual's definition of "classic" is.

Did we have screenshots back then? I can ask my friends if they have any undeveloped disposable cameras they used to take pictures of me not moving from my comp for days.

I love this game, but I dont becuse of clunky old play control, so Im glad some of the modern smoothness is in our "classic" game.

I would like to see "classic hardware" attempt to render chardok AE lol


If people were able to kite or AE like they are here in classic Verant would have nerfed that shit so fast. It just simply wasn't necessary because it wasn't possible on the scale that is here. Confirmed not classic.

While I agree bard kiting and chardok ae are both incredibly dumb and not classic (maybe doable in classic but nobody did it) like others have said we're beyond the point of no return. It really is too late to do anything about it. I don't know how the Chardok revamp will affect the ae groups. Will chardok ae still be possible after revamp? Maybe that one will go away if so.

Bard kiting is sadly here to stay.

people did chardok ae in classic. it wasnt as organized or as min/maxxed but yes it happened in classic. my cleric used to do it on Xev.

while i realize that pop isnt "classic" my roomie used to kite all of halls of honor so when you say its not classic are you saying it didnt happen pre pop or what?
