So... How classic do you want it?

[Jibartik]

Everytime I see this thread I sing this little ditty in my head. Just barely period appropriate too so that's cool. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How classic do you want it?
How classic you want it to feel?
Leveling up as a human or a caster ya cant see nothing for real.

I am in the camp of not going on there if screen will be blanked out with book during most/much of my play time. Thanks

Well, the classic version of this game isn't for everyone. I hope you change your mind, but we understand if you cannot hack it.

The spellbook obscuring your view seems like an intentional design decision. Everquest borrowing heavily from dnd, it makes sense.

Spellcasters have to prepare their magic after each 'engagement' and this is classic eq's way of simulating that. Casters are left vulnerable inbetween battles.

Even more so, it somewhat balances casters and melee's. Melee are much weaker in classic, but they aren't hampered with preparation time.

The fact that casters graduate from this after 35, signals how conscious of a design choice this was.


I actually would welcome this to be implemented... it's an interesting mechanic, and you can level out of it, so its not even a big deal.

All true.

Well, maybe I spoke out of term here. THe issue isn't that you cannot create a new chat window, the issue is that you cannot move any of the chat windows unless you go back to the default UI, move them to your desired location, and then switch back to the Velious UI.

To move chat windows in the Velious UI, you resize them. You drag the top corner up, then the bottom corner up. Then you drag a left corner left, then a right corner left.

Thank you very much!

This is what it's going to look like for people running 1920x1080: https://i.imgur.com/WXj5uOf.png

Just pointing this out for people who are still saying a book on the screen is the end of the world. That's how it's going to look on Green.

(Sorry, ignore my Compass and Short Duration window and other stuff, I was on an admin account >_>)

Please make the blackout-screen an option, if that's an easy implementation! Surely all the "blind-blook" advocates here will CHOOSE to play w/ the blackout enabled to increase their immersion!

Right? Rrrrrriiiiiiiigggggghhhhhhttttttt
