Recreating the classic experience: item recharging

[iruinedyourday]

Yea Id rather see MQ go bye bye than anything else that is considered classic. It's just too much.

I mean since we're talking classic not classic here.

I'm sorry, Niron, but your logic is flawed. Something was possible in classic, just not widely known. Therefore, it should not be possible here.

I mean, shoot, with that logic, game players shouldn't be allowed use Wikis.

Finding out cool tricks that people didn't know about on old games was one of the coolest things about playing games. However, obviously with time, tricks become known to the general majority. Even if we are going off a classic timeline of when these tricks are more widely known, they should have become widely known some time in 2012 based on real time. Creating an environment in which tricks are "removed" due to being known by a wider audience actually removes "classic" mechanics and alters the game from what it is supposed to be.

I'd actually rather like to see how VP pulling would go without recharges and removing spells with ludicrous amounts of threat. Would have to drop your FTE to sneak tag out O_o

Less necro taggers once Quivering Veil is night time only mebbeh?

I'm doing my best to make it classic. From the sound of it VP is horridly unclassic what with pulling mobs to entrance and whatnot.

Bladestopper nerf would be an interesting one. Would also make Nagafen much less attractive of a kill.

Not necessarily. If anything, Bladestoppers would still command an immense premium because the runes can still be used as part of a super clutch pull. PD pops, and you need to get her now? Use that Bladestopper you've been saving.

I think the staff is currently hard at work on a device that selectively erases all of your memories, both implicit and explicit, from Everquest and other MMOs. It will soon be required to play on the server. In addition, a new .dll will be released that will block your computer from accessing any EQ related websites. The devs have obtained archives of EQ websites and will be releasing information on those websites as it became available during the classic timeline. These soon to be released changes will make things far more classic.

Yea - we'll never get a really classic game given the fact that we all have 15 years of knowledge put into it. But so long as someone who boots it up for the first time (like I did 3 or 4 months ago) and goes.. Holy shit! TIHS IS IT! Ohhh omg, ugh the feels... then we're in the right place, doing gods work.

Boxing would affect those people, less level 60 people LFG at level 15 on their alts, less level 10 newbs being invited into crushbone groups etc. Where recharging and (even though I dont like it ) MQ doesn't adversly affect those players... and in some cases the latter may bring a level 60 running through a noob zone which also helps make the game feel classic & populated, so idk. \

still dont like MQ but then again, I haven't sat idle at 60 for 4 months, perhaps I will when that time comes!

Chortling hard over reds players generally better player base for not relying on crutch recharging and duck casting

That one bugs me even more that the MQs. At least the MQs are somewhat "out of sight, out of mind" ... at least until I visit the EC Tunnel forum. But with Soulfire it's like the server rubbing it in my face every time some non-Paladin moron gets one.
