Miscellaneous: Project in town guards

[Nirgon]

Well it matches what people say in 2000 era posts [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (that aren't made up) and my recollection and testing done on EQMac, SHOCKINGLY enough [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Really, take your problems up with Nilbog. If he bans me I won't come back.

This was the patch that guards were buffed in. And P99 launched with these buffed guards. You really have nothing to stand on except your memory.

Subsequently the Newbie Guards were buffed and changes were made to guard timers:

P99 launched with this respawn timer as well.

Again, unless you post actual evidence, this thread has no merit and you should close it.

Two comments on one guard. Wow. That's it?

Second post has 1 comment out of 7 complaining about resists, and the guy is level 42 fighting a level 40 guard. That's why he's resisting.

That's not evidence. That's laughable as fuck. You can find people complaining about any npc resisting if you look hard enough.

I don't see any evidence on how great of xp these in town guards are nor do I see people saying they xped on them.... well anywhere [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

But I did find what I posted after much searching...

and it matches everything we are able to check (hey I did testing and parsing too!)...


and my claim.

I notice you aren't after the staff for making these changes. Maybe you should try that instead? 8)

If you hate me for posting this stuff I can't imagine how you feel about them for making classic changes. I personally like it!

(All this over one xp death btw lol)

I have no idea what you're even talking about now.

[Nirgon]

You don't need to just let the big boys work

[Potus]

That sounds great. Good luck in your attempt to get every town's guards nerfed based off two posts. I hope it works out for you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks. Would love me some classic guards with big assist ranges (hi2u pvp server)/resists [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Anyone else remember going into Neriak/Halas/Grobb and people killing the guards during the classic through Velious era every time on their way to the bank? I don't.

Not to mention if this was a way to xp, given how overcamped things were... you'd think there'd be people in there 24-7 forming groups (if they were as tough as they were here). It just wasn't the case, for the reasons I've listed above.

[Potus]

Yup, they were. People were hesitant to ruin faction, but they were camped.
