Regarding the new spell file and such.

screw it i love not being able to PBAoE scarbs in EC according to the devs (super sarcasim because if they were serious about serious business they'd recode mob run speed from the ground up)... but not being able to right click spell mem is even better and a great substitute for changing core game mechanics that really need to be fixed.

2) heal over time

4) Direct Dmg2
5) Snare
6) Gate
7) Buff1
8) Utility1

so you are on the fly and would really like to change your Direct dmg1 and direct dmg 2 spells to dmg/time1 and dmg/time2 spells. You also want to be able to switch back to those WITHOUT having to remem all your spells.

well you do this. You clear all you spell gems and make them empty. then you mem spell sets like this.

1)
2)
3) Dmg/time1
4) Dmg/time2
5)
6)
7)

1)
2)
3) Direct dmg1
4) Direct dmg1
5)
6)
7)
8)

now by saving these spell sets like this you can swap out spells in those slots while leaving spells that are memmed in the empty spots. Basically allowing you to do the same ability as right clicking to change spell files without having to worry about sitting down to mem all 8 spell slots. Reducing time, and just in case* you get hit before memming, you don't lose all of your spells.

Edit: This is what I meant by mixing partials on the fly. Any spell gem slot that is left empty when a spell set is saved will not be overwritten/erased when you load it. basically all current mem'd spells will stay the same unless there is a spell being loaded into that slot.
hope that explains it.

ahh yes, I already do this. I guess I was more thrown off by the number 50 you gave. I have pretty much 6 full spell sets and 4 partials... how do I get 50? lol

It always says that I cannot have more than 10 spell sets

I love whiney, presumptuous idiots who insult people who provide a free service as "not doing it right."

I would just love to hear the reasoning behind removing the contextual spell menus. It just boggles my mind. Why remove it? Please don't respond with "it's not classic." You know that's an illogical response considering you left spellsets in, along with item linking, classic UIs, compasses, newbie zone maps, etc.

What was the point of this removal, seriously? Were you just bored and felt like riling up the casters? Is this some backhanded slap at overpowered pet classes (not me, I play a wiz)? I just don't get it. You had it in for so long, let people get accustomed to it, and then remove it to achieve what exactly?

I understand that this is your sandbox and we're all here enjoying the fact that you let us play in it, but don't whip sand in our eyes for no reason. I love this server, and love the fact that it's available and you guys work on it, but changes like this are just annoyances that seem to be made with zero logic behind them other than to incite some people.

Do us all a favor, including yourselves so you can stop dealing with threads like this, and change it back. Let's focus on content, the driving force behind this game, and let petty UI stuff alone.

Those things are all hard coded into the game client, I'm sure they would remove them if they could. That said, I also think that removing right click->mem spells was a terrible idea.

Hello, I understand you do not know what the client controls. It controls such things as the compass, newbie zone maps, etc. Obviously we didn't 'leave these in'. The client says you can have them, and how they work, so they work. So, you might want to look into what is illogical about saying non-classic, thanks.

If I had to guess.. the spell menus weren't removed on purpose. Probably a byproduct of the massive spells change done. Haven't seen that assumption posed yet.

It may suck to not have that functionality, but it can hardly be called "whipping sand in your eyes." It's more like removing your favorite truck from the sandbox. They aren't harming you at all - you just don't have access to a certain functionality you once enjoyed.

Don't dramatize this beyond what it actually is.

Yo brodog, you got that new code for us? Does it have anything to do with spells? That's right, this isn't a thread about runspeed dawg.
