When are yall removing item links? That shit aint classic.

I too miss the con colors in the targeting window. And yes, it's true - this wasn't classic, but for all the people frothing with "anything not classic should go!" I can't help thinking it's a bit like certain Supreme Court Justices who insist that -- ridiculous though the result may be -- we should never expand the scope of the constitution in a manner that's plainly better for everyone and not incompatible with its general thrust.

"Everything classic because that's the era!" is somewhat like saying we shouldn't IRL have any rules or principles regarding cars or antibiotics because the country's founding fathers couldn't have imagined modern automobiles and medicine.

Removing charm from Revenants in Hate is the exact opposite of classic.

Any word on if the raptor run speed change in TD was intentional? I admit I started playing during Velious era, but they definitely did not run the speed they are now when i quaded them during Velious on live. Was this something put in to match Kunark Era? Did Sony slow them down during Velious? Or was this just a byproduct of some other change in the code?

Most people are not frothing about this - they're pointing out the hypocrisy of doing something using classic as an excuse, but willfully ignoring other things that fall under the same reasoning.

This was a silly change when there are actual, real things to be working on.

Yes. Im 100% for full classic, I wish UI could be forced...but the double standards / inconsistencies arent justified. Why does blue have duck to interrupt and red still does not? Is red even supposed to be classic like? So many custom features and then some nerfs come along to make game play harder for newer players.

I'll confess to feeling these exact same emotions at times. But then I remember that some "big" things that need changing either can't be changed or are very hard to change, or there is insufficient information with which to make a change. Whereas some "little" things that get changed instead of "big" things may be relatively easy to accomplish. These folks don't have unlimited time on their hands, so they get done what they can. After all, they don't get paid much. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
