3rd Person perspective is NOT clasic

Curious how you think the lists keep things non competitive. In fact they do quite the opposite. They prevent one guild from violating the rules to monopolize a camp in order to skip multiple islands of a raid while every other guild has to go through those islands. Quite literally it would’ve been non competitive if the summon corpse list hadn’t been implemented. Normally I agree with things you say but you’re really far off base on those one.

I just thnk preparing ahead of time is competition in EQ and the concept of the game IMO is stronger when you cant kill the mobs you want because there is a group of 11 people there already it is in the spirit of EQ

I dont see the difference between that and lists except that the game just organizes what players used to, it's not in the spirit of EQ imo.

EQ is a game about personal investments to me, things you think will be of value, and when they are, they pay out big time.

I believe in player made agreements, not game changing ones.

Edit: But I was just having a laugh roasting the raiders.

third person have pretty limited use in the original game, not being used by much other than kiters or for screenshots.

I wont argue with the mechanics, but for 100% of the fights my character was auto attacking in, I was in 3rd person rotate camera vew.

And for looking around corners its tap tap rot tap tap (with no lag) that's why I argue that the only feature mouse wheel out provides PVE is a non game breaking effect.

But looking around corners is a valuable tool! so it was used quite frequently in classic for pulling as well, by well I assume everyone, because it was by me! But then again people keyboard turn [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How many times I would stand at a door, rotate my camera through it, and it would BOOP out into the room, and you'd see the 2 mobs you couldn't in First Person standing to either side of it? Probably every time I went through a door while pulling.

As for kiting, it's actualy not as good for that because you tend to want to turn while kiting and you can only keyboard turn in those modes. So it does provide advantage if you use 3rd person for kiting, but I primarily use first person myself when kiting because I can quickly 180 faster in fps back and forth than I can in 3rd. So meh.

Edit Edit: OK I just thought.... this does provide a game breaking ability for bards to be able to aoe kite... although I bet I and everyone else here would just do it strafing in FPS if there was no mousewheel cam :thinking emoji:
