Classic SOE Overnerf

[Aeolwind]

I think folks may be losing perspective. To clear 44, 45 and get a safe bubble into 46 it took me almost 72 hours on live. No deaths. No trains. I did the run non-stop.

Well, since the 'ol "It's Classic!" phrase seems to be thrown around. Let's not be hypocritical. Lets's go friggin classic!

-No item linking
-No 9th spell slot
-Go back to the old UI
-No key mapping except for your 1-6 buttons
-Let's stare at our spell book and click on the meditate button to med (I know we are currently past that point on live, but since this recent exp nerf shows that reverting is not out of the question, lets go back to what we missed)

The hypocrasy is what bothers me. If this game had started with the current exp system, then fine. But reverting it after almost a year is really dumb imo. How about reversing it and working on other things... Like the group bug, Kunark, mob pathing ect.

The ignorance is what bothers me. You think you know how everything works, but apparently just want to bitch about apples and oranges.

-Item linking - client/source? or both
-what 9th spell slot? its gone
-old UI is on the client, once again.
-keymapping 1-6, on the client, once again

-Let's stare at our spell book and click on the meditate button to med

Firstly, its the client. Secondly, if you cared enough to look into it, you would realize that it is not possible. Its easy to tell someone else to do it though, right?

If there was a switch to revert all of these things to classic, we'd flip it. Obviously there isn't. You are preaching like we have a giant list of on/off levers.

Submit fixes for this stuff yourself, learn how to do it, or stfu.

Last but not least, we don't answer to you. So you telling us what we should be working on is mildly irritating.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy playing and am greatful for what you guys are doing.

I really don't understand why it has been decided to be changed after almost a year. It just sucks as a newer player to p1999 that so many people got to play before without worry of being a burden to the group and not getting in to groups cause of an xp handicap. If I want to choose a class that takes twice as long to level, great, that's my choice. But, I really do feel guilty knowing I am sucking up everyone else's xp.

Seems like it will do nothing but encourage soloing in the mmo that was by far the most fun to group in.

Wow...I can't believe you continued to whine about this after getting seriously chewed out by the PM. That takes a special kind of denseness.

The server staff doesn't need to hear you reiterate your less-than-informed opinion over and over again. If you really want to help out, maybe you should try donating?

I play a barb shaman, so I have only a slight XP penalty. That will not stop me from continuing to group with the Ranger and Necro that I have been leveling up with. If anything, it sounds like this will help the Ranger stay closer to us in levels.

You have gotten better at sucking up! (107)

(you call me dense, i can respond with the same immaturity)

Took my paladin damn near a week of 'normal' playtime to get that far too - in Dreadlands. So - with the time I had to play each day - around 7 hours a day (35 hours then for the workweek) plus mad playing on weekend - yeah, probably 72 hours ish..

I think it seems just right - I play a Human SK, so I get a penalty.
