Daldaen is similar to treats and elethia. They only look for ways to make the game more unbearable

Eh classic was pretty unbearable if you look back at it now. I cant say anything bad about Dald. He is the reason I played on P99 to begin with. He was the one that first told me about p99 over on EQ forums. Great guy even if he does want EQ completely classic bad shit and all lol.

Just wanted to necro this thread to debunk this:

Sneak should break when you activate an attack, whether that be auto attack or a ranged attack. Sneak pull should only work when you hit sneak while a projectile is in the air.

From Monkly Business, 9/25/2000:

4) Using Thrown Weapons and Sneak to split.

With the changes to Sneak (no longer dropping when you use a thrown weapon ) another use has come up! In order for this to work, you must be using a ranged weapon with a ranger greater then the static aggro of the mob ( ie method # 3 listed above): engage sneak, throw, insta split. Personally I'm using summoned suriken for this, and I haven't had to use FD on a split since I got back into EQ. This includes splitting spawns where the mobs are literally on top of each other, although some times I have hit the mob i didn't have targeted, I have never aggro'ed the other.

The sarcasm is strong in this one.

pretty sure you dont get zone-wide group exp here Paul

Another classic thing was Mage Epic pet procing 90+% of the time, per hit. No proof is needed. Just set it.

Isn't classic. Pls fix.

6/10 troll thread.

Would score higher if it were more imaginative, but seeing it garnered passionate responses from our biggest thinkers who forumquest regularly it gets an above average rating.

Still can't believe so many people responded with heartfelt thought to this obvious trolling. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well actually...

There was a period there on live where the group EXP Bonus which amplifies the amount of EXP you earned for killing a mob, before that EXP is split amongst the group, was calculated based on number of people in the group. But the splitting would only occur dividing by the number of players in range for the exp hit.

Which only gave a slight bonus in our era since the maximum bonus is 20%.

But during PoP this bonus was 80% at a maximum. So having 4 dudes AFK in your group while you soloed across the zone would net an extra 80% EXP for you.

Confirmed. Doing this during a faction war = unlimited exp.

Also, fix bard charm. Charm kiting doesn't work here (not like on live at all due to social agro mechanics not functioning as on live). And you can't re charm your pet until after charm has already broken due to the charmed mob being "protected" because it's a pet. On live you could re charm before it broke and keep a pet more or less perma charmed unless resist or song drop. Making bards much much more useful for dps purposes in a group.


You take away our swarm kiting so we can't solo as effectively, but you don't give us all our group toys so we're getting passed over in favor of any other melee, unless mana song is needed pretty much. Let me charm, twist, and melee, and then we shall see who brings more dps to the fight.

No you couldn't.
