HA!

Yeah - it really makes no sense to wait the additional 2 months or whatever it is. I can somewhat understand waiting until Velious - but trying to stick to the timeline when you're already several years off said timeline is just pretty much pointless if its ready to be implemented when the expansion releases.

How is your custom private server going?

I'm just curious, but what exactly was the rationale, if there ever was one, as to why the XP penalty was implemented on certain classes?

Casters.. 10% Flat xp penalty? Why? Don't they kinda have it hard-enough with having to sit on the ground 85% of the time, pay for spells, find said spells, etc?

I understand the racial penalties, but I think those could have been handled better too. Instead of terrible XP penalties, maybe just further reduce their dexterity and agility. Seems pretty straightforward, but I've never understood the XP penalty system.

The hybrid classes written up in design documents or conceived in the heads of the devs originally were supposed to have a much larger advantage than they ended up having in practice, especially after Kunark was released.

I hope the Doctors gave you more like a year to live. 6 Months is pushing it for a Ikky SK to 60! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I have had mine for 5 years and it still is not 60 lol.

Not everyone plays the game the same as you.

That said, not everyone can play P99 the way it is meant to be played. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dumb reply is dumb.

It doesn't make sense - and it perfectly ok to point that out. The timeline isn't classic or remotely close (and their reasoning for not implementing it at launch is driven by a classic timeline goal) and I don't see how anyone could begin to debate that.

How much time have you put in on the beta?

They mentioned that this change is ready to be implemented. It isn't being delayed months into the release due to not getting around to it.

What's your point? How much have you donated?

My point is the people who are screaming for Velious are often loaded with excuses as to why they can't beta test. When the beta server was announced everyone effectively went quiet... because rather than whining about wanting Velious they could now beta test.

Guess how many did? Not many outside of guild events. Now suddenly because it's pushed back to August that sense of entitlement is creeping back again. I've donated to the server but I fail to see how that's relevant.

If you can't and won't wait til August, head to Kegz and chums on Epicemu - where there's apparently still a bunch of broken quests, mobs walking around that shouldn't be in Velious and etc etc. Your posts would be subject to much tighter moderation there though so bear that in mind before you start firing shots.
