So, pets giving 100% xp so long as you do at least 1 point of damage.... classic? or just a blue thing?

All reports I've seen say that it's a Blue thing which won't be repeated on Green. If you can find proof on the http://wiki.project1999.com/Patch_Notes page that says otherwise though ...

Not complaining, I just want to have this straight. I am trying out two INT casters for green on blue currently. The pet dynamics will change?

Really all anyone knows for sure is what the staff has told us.

Of course, we also know that Nilbog's goal is to recreate those patch notes (although perhaps on a slightly different schedule, to make things fall into monthly releases, instead of "Verant screwed up and added a second patch hours/days later" releases [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]). And we know that Blue was the "beta run" for that whole process (so much of what happened here will happen on Green) ...

... but as for all the other details, of which there are thousands, we all just have to wait for an announcement that specifically addresses our pet detail ... or we just have to wait for Green to see.

I'm hoping I'm wrong. If I am I'll run my Green toon out from wherever he is at that level to SK to do it with you!

Love this, lol. The first upgrade was not having to actually press the "Meditate" button, forget when they changed that but pretty sure it was no earlier than August of '99 as my original paladin didn't get spells until then and had to push the button at first. IIRC the L35 thing came in at same time as Temple of Ro (altho my memory does suck.)

What was really important back in the day of blind meditation was the audio. All walking mobs were audible on approach.

All flying mobs had wing flap, whisp creatures had that wurling sound effect..oozes had a oozing sound..Giants stomped..beetles/spiders had a crawling sound..humanoids had footsteps..

You could hear other things swimming in the water. (remember the original underwater music as well)

Elementals! you couldn't hear those. That damn air elemental near the EC tunnel [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

IIRC pet owners only had to deal 1 point of damage for FULL experience for the first several months of the game. I remember playing my High Elf Enchanter and being INSANELY jealous of how fast my buddy was leveling on his HE Mage.

Boy that sure changed come Kunark, lol....

Are sounds screwy for everyone on p99? They do make a difference when ya gotta be OG full blind

And yes to 1 point dmg for full pet exp which frankly makes most sense. The game didn't really want people to level fast so when mages leveled too fast they just needed to slow em down.

All speed leveling stuff we know today would have been nerfed to kingdom come.

I prefer locked in terrible UI but we gotta just stop ruining people's play ability at some point. It's not classic to have to re re learn to play the game. That said maximum classic on green..hit me hard
