After the patch I cannot find how to access the screen where you change Res and go from window to full screen . Is that all gone now ? that small EQ button is missing

Alt + O

Thank You

1- Combat Window disappearing everytime you zone is intended? I understand the Ress Window, Translocate Window also became server side default size, anyway to make those stay as we default them?

2- Can we work on a Leash situation instead of root situation for Ntov Dragons? Even if its a 10 feet leash, still fighting it in his lair. Also love the changes and adaptation for the server(the more challenging the better) and would love to see custom content inc.

Wait, pet bar was removed? That's extremely disappointing. It's understood that it's not classic, but it's been with us for years then taken away - would have been best to remove it immediately, if the plan was to take it away later. It's a bit demoralizing, to say the least.

Gonna miss the QoL the pet bar offered to make pet stuff fun instead of tedious - felt so normal it felt classic. What's next, the multiple chat bars? Item links? Minimum 2 minute zoning times? Forced low resolution? Some things are meant to adapt to the new age of what's considered classic, imo.

> "Also /pet health is the command and in the text box it will say "my health is 88.95%"

Welp, we traded pet bar for bountiful amounts of hotkey pet hp spam chat. Sure this is worth the downgrade for the classic experience?

There was never a "Red server" on live.

Mate, RZ was the only server to defeat an unkillable dragon. Come, now. Sure, the collected pop was only of 1 server, but it was a strong community and made things significantly more interesting. Even to this day, I prefer 20 pop red over 200 pop blue. Blue is just so flavorless. P99 red is as close as it comes to the RZ experience, only with no need for a NO DROP set (monks are pretty stoked about that, esp, haha). I love it, and those at Red I can't see going to a Blue again after that (once you go red....)

Even then, green? That's awesome that they've come this far, but ... who really wants to start over completely, again, naked with no plat? We're not teenagers, anymore - although I wish, time is a bit scarce as time goes on. I mean, enough time to play eq, but to start over *completely*..... idk maties. Either way, it's not pvp, so I'm skipping it - but just reflecting what others may or may not do.

I'm curious to see what the population will be, but I feel like there's more hype over people that will actually join (unless there's a /copy or something)~

But I do have time to play my existing chars that took me years to get to where it is now ~ I love my red toons. As long as there's enough out there for me to at least duo with, I'm happy.

A minor thing with this patch, the Mistmoore changes are great!

As someone who levels alts over and over and MM being one of the premiere spots - the changes make the zone feel that much more organic.

Replacing the two stair spawns in the Garg area with a roamer who goes into CY in particular was a great change. A few of the mobs near the Butler/Maid area were good too.

Great patch! Was great to see some skill-ups from the ranger and the pally does passable damage now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks for the constant effort despite the moaning from some of the population. I don't remember the pet window 20 years ago. It was nice but so is most free stuff.

I used a playstation controller for the majority of my FFXI play. Some KB work and I knew lots who used the "compact keyboard" set up effectively. Much of the biggest hurdle for people was not simply accepting that this was a PC console port and not conducive to WASD and mouse for controlling it.

I played back at the original NA launch for year between EQ and WoW though, not sure how things are on FFXI emu servers. But the UI was definitely a chore and a dealbreaker for so many EQ players.

Rogean: [Dec2001] Velious UI will be enforced prior to this Era.

Rogean: Universally disabled numerous non-classic UI Windows

Oh lordy pras

Feign death no longer poofs NPC pets if their owner is dead and the Shai`diin Revenant Bauble is now SK/NEC useable again from being NEC only. Soooo what other things are different that failed to get mentioned in the patch notes?

[Droog007]

I wanted to make fun of the whiners, but then I remembered whining myself about the compass...

However, I think you'd all cry less tears if you approached this game differently than, "OMG dragons are up and my UI is sub-optimal! How will I ever bag all the pixels generated this week? Aughh!"

Sit one out once in a while...
