The Event is too laggy for some of us

[Senaiel]

I support the GM's on this server and most everything they do. However, I am with Pheer on this, I do not have any LR and was not on for the event. However I can see why people are upset after playing countless hours to attain gear than watching people who have not dedicated any time picking up the same armor. I think it may water down what feel what some people were going for here. I think most people did not expect to watch the planar gear they have being crapped on by a Halloween evening loot pinata.

I don't know how many pieces dropped but it seems like there were not rare at all?

First 4 mobs I killed dropped: LR Gaunts, LR Gaunts, LR Gaunts, LR Bracer....then some boots and helms too within a few more mobs. Each mob also dropped a piece of Cryosilk as well.

Sorry if the event made your e-penis just a tiny bit smaller.

*shrug* People play this game for different reasons, which I'm sure many of you can attribute to.

Maybe it's slaughtering the rat population in Qeynos to save the city from the rat-lord, or maybe it's to do Tunare's wishes. Maybe your some insane, yet super smooth rogue who just likes to train people and scream "ANARCHY! DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM!" while you do it, just for the screenshots and the lulz.

Or, maybe your a raider who does it for fun, or better yet, to be the best you can possibly be. A lot of people want to be the top in their class here and now, because they couldn't do it in 1999. I know I couldn't, and although I'm not playing atm, I'm proud of my gear and the effort i've put into leveling/gearing Tal to be the best he can be.

The point is this: It's sad to see the best items on the server being somewhat trivialized by an event intended for newbs. Hand out some FBSS's, or some early Kunark drops or something. Not something that can potentially last you till Velious, even in that raiding guild.

Get over it dude, oh hey Qeynos has a rat problem that only an Oaken Schimitar (its crap) can handle bro. Get there. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] hahahaha

QQ I want more events.

QQ That event wasn't good enough.

QQ There were too many people at the event and I couldn't handle the lag.

QQ The event had shitty drops.

QQ The event's drops were too good.

QQ (Insert anything we do).

Doesn't really matter what we do, the people who want to cry will find a contrary stance to cry from. If you don't like something, help make it better, if you can't be bothered to put forth that much effort here, try your own classic server. See how perfect you get it.

So because I disagree with a set of items that was meant to only drop for a short period of time at the beginning of the server suddenly being given out en masse to anybody able to /loot a corpse in EC (including characters not even high enough to zone into fear) it makes me an overly competitive and elitist douche who doesn't play respectably? How does that make any sense?

You know this has nothing to do with your opinion and everything to do with your attitude and motives. You know you came to this thread to shit on this GM event because other people had fun at the expense of your unobtainable item exclusivity. You can say that it was the drop rate, the lack of challenge, the lack of a level cap (which is just plain BS.. Classic planes had no level requirement), or anything really. It just doesn't change the tone of your post and the greater point that you are getting at which is "You guys screwed us first-ers by making rust/cryo robe drop again." It's all about the need to lord over others the fact that you were the first/only person to get something. If it wasn't you would be satisfied with the sense of accomplishment you got from doing the hard work.. which you obviously aren't.

I also personally trust Rogean's judgment on the impact of the bugged drop rate over you hyperbolic "being given out en masse to anybody able to /loot a corpse in EC" description. I know you don't like/trust most of the dev's here, but TBH that isn't my problem.

I always get this feeling that somehow when people start whining and complaining on here that GM's are gonna just take down the server and say screw you... please don't do that by the way!! Project 1999 owns all. I think the majority of people on this server would agree with me there.

On a related note, this is an emulated server and we should be doing nothing but thanking and praising the GM's for hosting any event at all. I was impressed to see the guards in some cities were now zombies, and the wolves had red eyes. That is more than I had first expected when joining an emulator, and to me felt really professional. I also enjoy the GM's zone stress tests and I'm glad to help out, even if I lag out. Helps them see how the server is holding up with changes.

Frankly (I wasn't on for the Halloween's event btw, so I got nothing) if you want to whine that someone got a rare item that no longer drops, and it makes you feel less awesome because your virtual item is somehow less cool, the server would be better without you. This place is about nostalgia and the pleasure of re-joining a world we thought lost, not about your personal measurements.

The GM's here are feeling the pains that GM's of other games feel because the community is getting larger and unfortunately that invites some idiots in. The rest of us should actively try to counter the idiocy, and show the GM's our deep support.

This server is indeed great. It's mostly just as good as classic, I usually don't see the difference. I just think that this event didn't have the same quality as the overall server quality.

[Raavak]
