Problem being? We're all here to have fun, yes?

Your definition of "Fun" doesn't necessarily apply to everyone else

I would like to suggest applying wizard spell criticals. I know it doesn't fit into the "classic" definition, but neither does; blocking MQing (-jboots) and 2-Boxing, high-polygon red-skeleton pet models, etc etc. I can only remember the positive from this application of innate criticals once 12+.

?

Wells, i laughed because of your reasons. Guess I should clarify.

-Blocking MQ. This is funny, considering MQing didn't work at all, and we've applied it to various scripts since its inception.

-2 boxing. Don't care what you think about this. It's classic more than its not classic. I'd estimate less than 1% of players in 1999-2000 boxed, so give that up.

-high polygon red skeletons. Originally we didn't have any classic skeletons whatsoever. Now all we lack is the darkboned ones.

I guess.. what I'm saying. None of that has anything to do with non-classic wizard criticals. So...

I thought jboots was it, what else (or in the future)?

Not a rant.. was a question. Plus I don't think it's been asked on these forum and figured it was decent avenue of query, in my opinion.

Thanks for being awesome.

Lol.

Edit: I was speaking of my previous statement being more suitable for rnf.

This is a really stupid idea.

You said Wizards weren't implemented well, and this is true. The patch of giving Wizards crits is basically a perfect solution to make them more "Warrior-like", and bring them on to the same level as the other classes. In my opinion it is outrageous that they didn't implement crit on release, but the original devs did realize that Wizards needed something, and crit is the perfect solution.

Now the way this server is implemented is not perfect, but its close. These devs seem to squish the bugs, even out the fairness plane, but only in some cases.

In short, I wouldn't hold my breath. But I can still keep my fingers crossed for crits.

IMO nerf Mages instead.

Also, why are AoE rains only ticking twice?

that would be because they used to be broken, and now they're fixed... if the proc on my adamantite bo stick was anything to go by

leveling in WW on giants. when i first arrived, the ABS would proc and land 3 times regardless how many giants it hit. so if i was fighting 2 giants it would hit 2x75 3 times (for a total of 6 hits) that's exactly how rain spells were broken, they're supposed to have a max of 4 hits over a max of 3 waves

by the time i'd left WW giant fort, it would hit 1 giant 3 times, or 2 giants twice. (never tried it on 3 giants). this is working as it should be

broken rain spells hit up to 4 targets 3 times each

working rain spells should do the following

hit 1 target 3 times
hit 2 targets 2 times
hit 3 targets once + spell targeted mob gets hit a second time
hit 4 targets once

2-boxing was never prohibited on live servers because it wasn't terribly common, whereas technology is so good now just about anyone can do it.

Incorrect. Two boxing was not prohibited because it required you paying for 2+ subscriptions.
Playing here is free. Anyone could quadruple box because there's no mandatory monthly fee. I think Sony could have cared less how many 'boxes' players employed, so long as they handed over that $$$ each month
