we're looking for balanced teams

not whether a team adheres to a rando virgin's interpretation of Tolkien fantasy as applied to EQ

you can't have balanced teams + makes perfect sense in RP

Am I drug-addled, or a virgin? Let's get to the bottom of this.

Are SZ teams really that unbalanced? SK/necro, ranger/paladin/druid. All good classes, but are any absolutely necessary? Give goods and neutrals corpse summoning potions and it's good enough imo.

Teams should have a romantic air about them, even if it results in some slight unbalance.

On blue, ducking immediately interrupts spell casting. Here it only interrupts after waiting for casting time to finish.

Nerf blue to where they should be until Velious imo.

Hey not sure what part of my post you are question marking.

On live and blue 99, hitting the command for duck instantly cancels a spell cast. On red99 if I say cast complete heal and then decide to make a run for it I have to run around and wait for the whole cast time of CH to be used up before I can cast a different spell.

Casters being under powered I'm kinda just talking out of my butt but at level 60 when good equipment starts being more common casters are pretty weak compared to a good melee / hybrid and in velious they kinda just get weaker.

It's classic; blue is currently unclassic in this regard.

and yes Faerie SZ was by far the worst server to play on if you were not on evil team.

I don't think so Faerie. References? They wouldn't leave blue non classic. This was a red99 "balancing" feature.

In short ducking should interrupt a spell instantly allowing you to cast another spell. Right now it interrupts the spell at the end of the casting time.

Here is nilbog post http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...5&postcount=14

Extremely confusing that this would be on r99 and not blue, if it is the case on classic.

Pre kunark I was a warrior and beginning of kunark I was a pally and ranger and a dummie so I really can't remember duck interrupt features until later on when I started making casters.

Here is the thread it is discussed http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...t=53309&page=2

Does anyone have patch notes for this change? I just don't remember it so I'm curious. I assumed it was non classic since it isn't implemented on blue.

I'll wait for nilbog to address the spell casting issue, as he has in the past.

And SZ was the worst server to play on, yes. Because of training :P
