Chardok exploitation hurting the spirit of the game

I do think channeling on P99 is non-classic and has needed an update. It does seem like they may be going non-classic with this update based on the evidence they are using to create the calculation in question. Maybe it will just need a bit of tuning.

That's the fear everyone has, I think, that they'll over-do it then leave it that way. Given P99's history that's a fair thing to be concerned about. As players all we can do is make our feelings known then wait and see.

The train method works because mobs in those areas of Chardok don't summon despite being 51+.

Is that based on classic evidence?

I would wonder if those interrupts you're experiencing are due to pushes rather than a channeling interruption?

good question - I will have to fire up a shaman (with torpor for safety) to test this.

That's my fear. That this will be WAY overtuned, and will disrupt gameplay OUTSIDE of soloing.

IE: your knight tank can't get a spell off because Channeling is now broken.

Or in a group, when you have a bad pull and a priest pulls aggro - Priest can no longer root mob and run away.

I didn't bother to read any of it, but cry harder.

Fair point. While casting while being hit was difficult on live, it certainly wasn't impossible. Hybrid tanks would've never been able to cast if it was.

There are two distinct possibilities here. Either Nilbog is a moron who has decided to release an unclassic game-breaking patch after over a decade of responsibly stewarding this entire project ..

... or he's making a reasonable change to make things more classic (as he's done with every other release) ... and sammohung should change his name to sammoChickenLittle [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Exactly the second option please.
Rogean may be many things but an idiot is not one of them.

Also. If sammoHungLikeABee is right, i may get a sky belt from it!

So far no one has used the acronym "QoL" so we're good, I'm keeping an eye.

The Uber You movement is an evergreen, and so must our fight against it be eternal.

Who pissed in your coffee?

You don't even play p99 anymore, do you? You're a forum poster, with no real knowledge of the server in it's current state.

So sit down, shut up and go back to your hole that you crawled out of.
