My biggest gripe with this is that they changed it in the middle of nowhere based off of someone who read some forum post. If we are to follow this, then I can dig up any post from say 2002 and argue it should be this or that way. AC was never a 6 min static spawn in OOT but here we are.

Actually, you CAN do this. If enough posts line up and you post in the Bug forum with enough evidence, they WILL look into it and adjust mechanics accordingly (except not 2002 because that was Luclin/PoP era).

QM was changed because of an actual dev interview. Sro is less clear, but seriously if you can find enough evidence that matches up, post it in the bug forum!

That's not true. It was changed based on an Allah post from 2009 and data from EQ live that Haynar collected in 2021.

This. One person posted some post from zam and here we are

I know, it's a huge problem honestly

New Quillmane setup is cheeks. You can spend over 12 hours killing spawns solo as only person in zone and never spawn it. I had this experience on red. New system heavily advantages only tracking classes. I never had this issue with blue or green.

I respect the devs and mods but at the same time they got this new system wrong it only advantages people built to track/ pay someone to do so and makes getting a cloak near impossible for others.

That or you are forced to rely on friends without compensating them for their time / create a tracker yourself for a singular item.

Tracking classes have always been advantaged toward quillmane. She has multiple spawn points that are chosen at random, in a huge outdoor zone. Rangers with max tracking can only track about a 4500 unit radius, which isn't even close to the whole zone, but they still have a huge advantage even before this change.

Quillmane hard to get: confirmed working.

If we are going to go this route, then let's make it that you need to use the classic UI under classic locked resolution and state at your med book till 35. I mean if we want classic may as well go all in right?

We did have both forced books while medding and classic ui locking on Green; both were removed when it was time period appropriate.

Was either one perfectly classic? No, but when you recreate a 20+ year-old game things often aren't.

I dunno if this is news to you, but p99 runs on the titanium client, which was developed way after the vanilla-velious period. There are some things here they simply cannot change, but the unpaid volunteers try to bypass those limitations as best they can.

Everquest isn't a single player game, and the technology and engineering that the original game was based on is lost to time, so you sound like a doofus complaining about "unclassic changes!!!" and attributing some kind of malicious intent to the p99 devs.

..... oh NO!

Friends are usually happy to help without agreed compensation as they enjoy your company and it makes them feel needed, boosting their self esteem.

I don’t see a problem with an encounter requiring track. Many others require lock picking, defensive, cheal, ports, etc.
