Heard that velious will be the last expansion, is this true?

But a mage is another great soloer so long as they have their pet, and a wiz can even solo decently with root and snare. So you want a war to have the soloing ability of a necro or a mage. Give me a war build that solos as well as a necro and doesn't break the game. It's not like it's impossible for a war to make money.

What you call bad game design I call good design and unique classes that have abilities in demand. I don't care that someone can make money off their abilities. It's not bad game design just because YOU say so. You're stating your opinion as fact just like others. Fine you don't like it that doesn't make it a bad design. Everyone can always do it better than everyone else but all they can do is state their opinion as fact.

very well , lets settle at "in MY opinion, its a bad design" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Hows that?

as far as mage vs necro vs war goes- its a more complicated matter than just adding something here and removing something there- the whole system would have to be designed from the scratch. Its not trivial, but its possible.

I hold faith in Nilbog, Rogean, and all the other devs of P99- that they will ignore the unreasonable suggestions being thrown around in this, and certain other threads.
They're not going to remove CRs. You're smoking meth if you believe they will, and need to be taken to a detox facility immediately. Thus argument concerning them is entirely moot and useless. They're also not going beyond Velious- at least not in the capacity of adding actual expansions (as has been said earlier in this thread, there is a possibility of small custom content/events after Velious.)

I'd like to see a de-booked PoP added, but that would require Luclin, or a massive rebalance of all of PoP, which isn't going to happen.

You don't think you could step into T1 of PoP after farming NTOV? I do think there would be a lot more farming of the lower tiers of PoP prior to moving up, but I think the hop from NTOV to PoD, PoN, PoI, PoJ isn't so bad. Hell, I remember tanking those zones (probably pretty poorly) on my paladin in the 50s, without a ton of raid gear, and maybe 1-2 pieces of luclin gear (no VT loot at all).

If EQ always had you respawn with equipment after dieing and you never knew it any other way, I guarantee that no one would be begging change it to leave the equipment on the corpse. I believe the same people arguing about how awesome respawning without equipment would be arguing about how awesome it is to respawn with equipment if the above was true. And for that matter, arguing anything that differs from classic EQ. It's not perfect, but it's a damn good game and I'm here despite it's flaws.

Well of course you can't argue for something you're totally ignorant of. Some time in the future someone is going to come up with an idea for an mmo and lots of people are going to think it's a great idea, does it detract at all from them arguing for it in the future because they arn't asking for it now since they don't know what it is? You can't really argue for or against a system until you've tried it.

Here's my story on why I think CRs are good. A couple days ago I decide to try to solo Damphyre in MM on my 46 necro. Well as you know there are a mixture of undead and live creatures in there. I make a wrong move and get beat on to 25% health before I can FD. Now I am FDd in the middle of 10 mobs at 25% scared cuz I'm like damn, if I get up and die I wont be able to get my corpse.

Now, if I spawned with all my equipment I would have yawned just gotten up and died and tried again to get to Damphyre. But I had to scan the area while FD for a safe spot, make an exiting mad dash to that safe spot and FD again before I got killed. I made it, and it felt GOOD that I got my ass out of that stupid mistake. I promptly gated and will not go back solo for a few levels.
