Classic pet exp

[Hamahakki]

The amount of whining in this thread is incredible.

Are people really complaining that they only solo 10x better than melee instead of 20x?

This isn't about melee vs pet class. Nobody plays a melee and expects to solo as well.

This is about introducing a "classic" change while purposely not introducing other "classic" changes, in this case two changes that directly affect pet classes. One is a nerf, one is a buff.

I sympathize with you.

But that's the way it was on live and that's the way most people want it here.

I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm just shocked at the people complaining about their solo ability getting nerfed from ridiculous to merely excellent.

25% of the xp we used to get is merely excellent.

everyone in this thread needs to

It's not 25%.

You could solo exactly as you would before and still get 50%.

Any mobs on which you outdamage will increase that.

This is EverQuest. A group based game. Melee were never intended to be able to solo like the pet classes. This isn't about being fair to the people who choose to play melee, that was YOUR DECISION TO CHOOSE A GROUP CLASS. It's about being fair to the people who set out to play pet classes and are missing some of the mechanics to be able to do so.

Wow, you people are something else. The fact that pet-classes are still better at soloing than melee classes has nothing to do with anything, of course they are going to be better at soloing. The fact is that they are not as effective at as they should be in an effort to be "classic" while their pets are kept not "classic" deliberately, which also has a negative effect on the class.

Using "classic" as a means to nerf my class, then dismissing my call to keep the game "classic" because my class is too good? Do you guys really not see why this annoys people?

It is one of the things that makes everquest such a shitty game though. No kind of balance between the classes. I mean you have uber necros and mages soloing reds, while most melees can't handle a dark blue, and when they can they have to sit on their ass for 10 mins after wasting a couple gold on bandages.

Granted, the game is a lot of fun if you just stick to the uber classes.
