Remove Item Linking and New Era Meditate

[nilbog]

All of these demands have been on a list of requested classic mechanics/features since the beginning of the project. This list is comprised of source requests and as far as we know, "unfixable" issues.

Only recently have we devised any chance of fixing some of it. That's why the .dll files came into the picture. If you noticed, we have been adding client features which have long been missing or non-classically persistent. (brown skeletons, gypsy women models, spellset removal, 'new era' tradeskill recipe window interface bypasses directly to experiment mode for combine containers)

I detect heavy sarcasm from this thread, but I will take it as it is. With that being said, the rest of this thread will be in response to as if you were serious.

They aren't cherry picked. Fixes are created when we have the means to do so. Like the community often commands, "why fix stupid faces when you can fix Y or Z".. and that's what we do. If there are crashes or any type of exploitation, those issues take priority over the removal of say...item links.

If you have these fixes, please give. If you have a way to completely and immediately convert the project to classic, please do. I would love to play instead of develop. Otherwise, make bug reports, research and post as much information as possible, and chill out. That's the best you can do unless you pick up development and submit fixes.

I'm with you. Let's make it as classic as possible.

Oh, here are some of my favorites.

Ducking shouldn't interrupt spells. It should require you wait the cast time of the spell. Alternately, if you are stunned, that should interrupt the cast timer.

Stamina should exist. You should lose stamina when you swing your weapon. On long fights, you need invigor/zing spells. We've tried twice to implement the stamina feature.. but encountered issues with not enough control over the client to fix.

You should be able to drop coin on the ground.

Beggar models should say in a terrible audio file "Spare a copper please?" when hailed. And possibly something else, I can't remember.

Items should say 'no rent' instead of 'temporary'. Items should say 'no drop' instead of 'no trade'.

Message boards should work.

etc, will post more later.

Can anyone else remember classic features that you haven't seen on the server? Make a bug report of what's missing.

Regen items should not say how much HP they regen.

It was "Might I have a copper, please?" and while it may have happened when hailed, it also happened at random. You're right about it being friggin awful audio, too. Not only did it take quite some time before we figured out what was being said, but for the longest time I had no idea that it was actual words, haha.

Really?

You bumped this obnoxious thread for that two cents?

They also dropped water flasks x 3-4 every kill too. Was an awesome way to get drink.

Yeah they should be say "might I have some copper please?"

Item linking is highly useful and is the sort of feature that should remain, classic or no. Classic meditating was annoying and served no purpose other than to be annoying, so nothing lost in not adding it.

Not everything about classic needs to be added, but I do know it's frustrating when certain things are cherry-picked, like adding pet class nerfs but not adding pet class buffs.
