It is exceedingly difficult to discuss ANYTHING on the pvp forums without this happening.

Have you seen the people on here? You want to talk to all of them about implementing CLASSIC EQ!?

You need to talk to a handful of people, doesn't even have to include me. Watch OOC and tell me its rational to address the player base as a group here :P.

I hope this isn't the major reason "we can't help the pvp server". The approach is wrong.

You don't need to fix the client. The server just needs to be sending the correct skill value (20 not 125) to the client and then it should be handled. Even if it's broken at 20, that's "authentic" isn't it?

As far as no variance. I dont know how to respond to that since it definitely is being used here. There's quite a few posts about it if you search on it. (edit: here's a big post on it http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...light=variance )

Live had downtime as well, but patch days served as a mechanic in terms of respawns, resetting camps, etc.

I'll score you a point for broken at 20 being a better step towards classic and maybe a quick fixie

Variance is on blue not red

Hybrid is more powerful so it gets a exp disadvantage. Same with ogres and trolls and iksars.

you definitley didnt play anything high level , if you HT a buffed / geared nilly it does around 200 dmg

and goodluck hitting him with your weapon , as a sk 80% of my swings are miss or less then 50 dmg , while you are eating draught of ice sandwinches every 5 seconds

expect to get spanked , then lose a blue of exp ( 2 hours )

Brad is the same guy who lied to the playerbase saying things like "paladin epic is in game" when it actually wasn't, "alchemy is working pals" when it wasn't coded yet, etc. etc. Did you guys not see the debacle that was Vanguard? Did everyone here forget about how awful Luclin was? Do people here really forget all the bugs that existed in classic EQ that Brad simply refused to admit? What about the awful imbalances that existed? Remember how druids and shamans couldn't get groups in classic (where there were long lists for every camp so you couldn't just go lol go solo newb cuz everything was camped) because they had no ability to heal end game? It took until velious to finally give them somewhat of a heal for them to be able to help. The aggro issues with rangers / rogues, rangers being fucking useless, monks being gods until Luclin, hybrid EXP penalty, etc., etc. I guess some people think the class imbalance was an amazing feature of classic EQ and love it, but those of us who played back then remember how awful this was and how lolworthy it was to see the 10000+ post threads with everyone agreeing how awful many of these things were and "The Vision" being mentioned over and over again, only to in almost every single instance have The Vision ultimately be over turned by more competent game designers.

Velious wasn't the pinnacle of EQ because

Honest Abe, I got that far and I won't even stop scrolling if I see another Heartbrand post for 2 weeks.
