can devs pls ninja patch maget pets? this is kinda ridonk

[SkeletonLrodd]

Was the pet 50% xp at launch? I know they played around with it in Luclin, I thought it was added post launch though.

[Phaezed-Reality]

first, i played from classic, the 50% exp change wasn't added until MUCH longer when afk leveling was found to be a thing, pet where researchable up to 49 the whole time, while broken combines where eventually patched it to put the 1 or 2 broken combines on vendors. Who cares tho, reroll, if u wernt ready to handle an emu classic mage server, u really arn't ready to handle a real mmorpg in brads vision. Eventually the devs will catch up.

I offer no proof, other then socking mage for the last 20 years, 4 of them from 99 to 2003. and i dont care to provide any, because who the fuck cares., reroll, stop being so fucking soft.

Of course you don't know what that means. That was pretty much my point. You don't know the truth when it slaps you in the face unless the truth just so happens to be what you already wanted to hear. You're got no good argument for why things should be the way you want, so you blame a culture of cynicism for holding back you few good apples even though the vast majority of people involved in p99 are not some big, cynical conspiracy; and you think a person just must be a dick IRL if he dares to want a classic mechanic in the game; and you call me a troll when I point out how asinine the things you're saying are.

Oh please...

So you're willing to stand here and say "Mages not having their 39+ pets for several months makes my classic experience better." Ok, so is it because you don't want to compete with Mages in game or is it because you truly want the 'experience' of one of the classes being broken? Regardless of your answer, agreeing with the fact you want no 39+ pets makes you a selfish person. There are no words you can spin to claim otherwise.

I wasn't trying to come up with facts to fix Mages, I was stating this community can be very cynical and that's the truth, there is no conspiracy. You're a prime example of what I'm talking about. With all those posts you make, what exactly do you offer lately to this community besides snarky responses? I remember you from way back and you were helpful, not sure where things went wrong for you but maybe consider giving this all a rest for a bit.

Anyway, gl with your obsession for winning an argument. /wave

50% pet xp penalty was in from launch. People were talking about it in April 1999. I've debunked this many times.

There is hard data from ShowEQ showing up in early 2000 about it too.

I played a mage on live, but only post Kunark, my friends said the xp penalty was added recently before I joined and I remember it being lifted in Luclin sometime, I was actually curious because I still hear conflicting info.

I feel your pain mages..

Hopefully they get the mage pets rolling soon. I'm not a mage but love the class and to group with them.

[Erati]

the worst part is not really knowing how strong we could be if our pets were in

Mages will have to plan where to solo starting from square 1 once the pets are in bc how it works now you have to basically figure out how to solo without your pet doing much besides a slightly damaging speedbump as you nuke.

I don't see you campaigning for rogues to get evade early. For tanks to get aggro from bash as it was intended (equivalent aggro to spell stun, which Sony admitted had been broken from release at DoN time and they didn't even fix it so as not to imbalance the meta). For rangers not to be left 20 levels behind other melee on defence.

Clearly you don't care about having a broken class nor about classic. I won't second guess your motivations. I will suggest a more classic play style. 2 hours maybe a couple of times a week or fortnight and the occasional weekend binge. Visit places, talk to npc and players. Explore. Fish at the pier. Farm items for crafting and buy junk items you don't need. Make sandwiches. You can stretch out those first 24 levels easily over the 2 month (1 now) waiting time. If you peak too early the 24 pet is fairly attainable. Enjoy your time in Norrath and remember there is a world outside there too.

HALP! My free game that is probably the most accurate classic EQ experience out there has some minor flaws that will be adjusted and fixed because the people who made it did it for free and in their spare time plus have lives outside P99! HALP! HALP! HALP!!

like i said if it's classic, then i'll begrudgingly accept it. i just thought it was a p99 thing

I very, very specifically always talk about how I want classic mechanics. I very, very specifically explain that what "the classic experience" is means a lot less to me, and that I'm pretty sure it means less to the dudes in charge, than having classic mechanics does.

That you can reply, still, and act like I've ever said or implied or thought "Mages not having their 39+ pets for several months makes my classic experience better." ... Lol ... It just shows how totally clueless you really are.

That you think it makes me selfish for wanting to see classic (albeit odd) mechanics recreated? Shit man. I won't say what else I think with this thread not in r&f yet.
