[Phorest]

Thanks for implementing some type of spamm control ! Good Job!

I don't remember when worn of messages started either, I just know that worn off messages have NEVER been shown on death or on re-buff. Aren't in live now, and never have been.

I'll be damned if I'll waste mana hasting myself just to know when it wears off. I guess you melees will just have to ask for it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (or be happy with augmentation)

Currently ALL worn off messages are OFF. I think this was vanilla classic. Cant remember when actual worn off msgs were added, but worn off upon death I never remember so that needs to stay that way eithe rway...whadda ya say

I am around 90% sure that there were some worn off messages in classic out of the box. I remember as a bard getting the worn off messages when an enchanter overwrote my mez in Kunark for sure, but I am pretty sure I used to get snare and lull worn off messages before that. The reason for the 10% unsure is I can't remember if the times in original EQ were from when progression server opened or not, but I am 100% sure they used to happen when I was in Karnor's Castle for the first time ever.

Ok so it seems, you should get the message for detrimental only.

And we need to remove dot damage messages? What do people think about that.. It would make necros unparsable =\

You still have Droids and Shaman who use DOTs too, not to mention damaged shields. If we see DD damage, then why not DOTs?

[Zanti]

Please leave dot damage in. Not knowing when pet buffs fade makes me sad [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Does this mean that charm breaks wont give off a msg also? And dispelt buffs..

I'm kind of in the same boat, I do recall snare/root wearing off as a Druid, this was how I stayed alive. I can recall having a certain color text to insure that I saw the messages (Snare/Root has worn off). Sadly, I don't recall buff messages, 10 years is a long time to recall such a subtle detail.

I was a Shaman in a raiding guild back in the day. All I did was buff, debuff, and dot.

There wasn't a "worn off" message on buffs, I always had to set timers.

There WAS a "worn off" message on dots and on debuffs. That includes messages when a dot/debuff got overwritten by another spell.

There wasn't a "worn off" message when a mob died.

There wasn't the damage per tick messages we are getting now on dots.

I wish I had logs from back then, but they have been long deleted.
