This guy gets it.

I also dislike the advent of voice chats for raiding purposes. I raided until SoD on live without using voice chat. Even when I quit live in VoA my guild didn’t require voice chat and in those events you have multiple emotes and twitch responses you need to prevent wiping the raid.

It blows my mind how guilds on P99 feel voice chat is required for success when basically every raid target is the same with one or two AEs and a single tank, especially pre-Velious.

But I don’t believe a single chat box would dictate that players need Discord to be able to function or that it would wipe away group chat. You’d just have to filter out other hits/spells and a few other chat pieces people send to spam windows. Especially in early levels, your chat won’t be scrolling by that fast. Anyone will be able to read in between their cracked staff swings. Especially considering the resolution you’re playing on allows for a very tall chat box with many lines.

Haha, I can imagine. I usually got invited on raids during the week, fun times getting through work after a wipe.

You got any proof about cycle not being in game and when it was added? My memory is its original, but memory aint worth nothing.

You can now set hot keys to cycle through targets!

Wow! Memory aint worth nothing! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am really blown away, actually question, was target nearest NPC a thing in original? Because if so that is what I am thinking of.

I agree with your (and others') assessment that single chat window would most likely cause the cancer known as Discord to filter down into regular grouping. In that case the cure is worse than the symptom.

Doesn't matter though cuz "DATS CLASSIK" right? Isn't that what yall been sayin for the past month?

You don't get to pick and choose your battles here! One chat window, blind-book-medding, insane hybrid-xp penalties, no cycle-target, no scroll-cam and, of course, one dead server!!!!

Your last part will be shown to be incorrect! Most of us don't care that this stuff will be in the game.

Pretty sure cycle existed before 2004, I wasn't even playing anymore by then. The way that reads is they made it so you could create a hotkey (?), but you could already bind target cycling to a keyboard key.
