Basically killed any enjoyment that root rotting or dot procs provided.

Your enjoyment of root rotting came solely from watching the yellow numbers scroll by?

Well, this change certainly was unexpected.

This sums up my feelings.

Removing the dot damage display was always the plan, but it was delayed for testing purposes until all timeline patches and spells were completed. This has been stated in past bug reports.

Damn. I played a necro and a druid during classic and somehow I don't remember it being this way. Probably because I've just been playing on p99 so long. Oh well. Tough QoL change for several classes but the quest for classic follows to its own logic and suffers no reproach.

On the subject of classic, does anyone know if green is launching with the sexy ass classic UI?

Green will be using an enforced velious ui with classic modifications.

It's mildly interesting watching as QoL are rolled back and people complain.

No, that UI is not launching with Green.

1. We are not playing on 4:3 standard screens but the majority are on 16:9 widescreens. That UI will not work. You can choose to run a 4:3 resolution which makes EQ correct as it wasn't designed for widescreen (essentially it chops the top and bottom then stretches the image out to fill. It doesn't increase the peripheral vision)

2. Rogean tried a compromise as that original UI had a spell book that covered the viewport while medding. Much the same as this DoT info and pet windows went, some people lost their shit. Rogean took an arrow to the knee over it. Many players never played in original era. Some don't understand the goal of this project. Other played and understand the goal but not why it needs to be so. Others just want conveniences. All want to play a hardcore MMORPG. Some will tell you the game is easy and laugh while they take full advantage of every modern convenience.

Meanwhile I forum quest.

It's worse than that, too. UI elements don't scale. The original UI ran at 640x480. That's what you got, like it or not. Pseudo-original interfaces meant to run on Titanium always have a number of problems: They generally only work right at a single resolution, and even then only so long as the user doesn't move any elements around, and on top of that they require the use of custom viewport settings. Some elements of the original interface cannot be replicated at all on Titanium, at least not with current knowledge.

P1999 management requested some elements of the velious-like UI be increased in size (versus their original 2001 dimensions) so as to be more usable on modern monitors. They want classic EQ, but classic EQ that works well on modern hardware. The odds of seeing any official support for a full "stone" UI seem rather low for the time being, as always subject to change later on.
