change the color con on target back please!

[Kevris]

Why all the mad, bros?

I wish they could put in the old-school night vision and the ancient stare at the book UI ...

[psway]

I remember continually using this UI untill I overherd people discussing the newer UI. For a while there was a command in game to switch back and forth between the classic UI and the velious UI.

i actually wouldn't mind the old-school night darkness, this from someone who plays a human main.

Yeah, everyone agrees it should be changed back. Idk how, but this had to have benefited TMO in some fashion, as that's the only reason the gms do anything here.

The real question is when are item links going to be removed from P99? How will those who keep arguing "it's classic" defend that? Nilbog needs to go ahead and get rid of in-game item links. Who cares what people think. He just took that mentality by removing the con color on target box (this was really convenient and now its gone).

I say get rid of in-game item links. We need to take it back to 1999 for real and manually type our item stats out.

Also ban people from making apps like REAL TIME AUCTION TRACKER, that's not classic. Pretty sure nobody had any such scripts back in 1999/2000 era.

Who's with me on this? lol

I think links are part of the client.

I can't recall: in classic Kunark era EQ, did mobs shout FTE announcements?

Yeah they totally did. Also everyone had broadband internet connections and computers capable of running EQ at 100+ fps. Single chat box + stare at spellbook to med. List goes on and on and on. If you're gonna throw all convenience out the window and piss ppl off. Might as well go full steam ahead and just implement every shitty classic mechanic so people can quit and get it over with.

Serious question: How many people legit complained that con color on target window annoyed them cause it wasn't Classic? I'll bet money it wasn't very many...

Hey Devs,

My point is simple - this was an arbitrary change that did nothing to promote what the real classic experience is all about: needing to work together, your actions having consequences (factions/racial tensions), the adrenaline rush when your group over comes the train that some asshat bard dragged over your camp... this was the real classic experience, not some arbitrary recreation of meaningless UI tweaks for the sake of resurrecting limitations of technology in 1999/2000 only anger and annoy the new players who want to see what it was all about and only saves to feel the trolls in the forums who respond with "Shits Not Classic".

If you feel crappy 1999/2000 UI technology is really required to make the ultimate classic experience, then you should be focusing efforts on finding Velious CD's and make it to where I can play Project1999 on my Pentium 133 with my amazing 8MB video card and 128MB RAM on Windows 95 with 800x600 CRT VGA display and a 400x300 view port with static interface elsewhere. (yes, I have this machine in the closet.)

Congratulations, I hope the time invested in this UI tweak was worth it. Someone better get a ban hammer on the all the people developing custom UIs that add buff timers for the entire group and even have maps working again.

The reasons I listed above are the reason I keep coming back to Project 1999, not these pointless UI tweaks.

EDIT: I should add that I do feel you've done an amazing job with most of the game and for the love of the game. I just think changes like this are not really necessary and the time invested could be better invested elsewhere.
