So. In the Classic spirit. Besides scroll wheel, what other classic client feature would tick people off as much as spell timers, if it were removed?

H

- Adding night blindness may, but I loved night blindness because it made ultravision/infravision something to be considered when choosing a race. It also made the spells worth while to purchase.

- Item linking

- Item stacking/selling at the vendors

- Turning Luclin graphics off the mage pets

- Turn off MQ

- Implement/Force Classic UI

I agree with everything but the bolded. Multi-Quest is classic and there are zounds of examples of this on allakhazam and old class boards asking whether you can MQ certain quests.

Especially in Velious where questing gear is more prevalent, people would often do HoT quests and Armor quests off MQs.

Oh I agree, MQ is classic, I just think disabling it would make the server a nicer place to play without all the greedy neck-bearded poop sockers who make obtaining a needed quest item otherwise impossible without having to be extorted for thousands of platinum.

Nothing would invoke the QQ like adding a required spellbook during /meditate (at least on a new/recycled server, where all the casters were sub-35).

Edit: Mouse wheel isn't a big deal, you can get a decent 3rd person view pressing f9 (or camera change) button twice, then using the pitch/zoom binds to get a good angle on your character. (I use j/k for this, both double bound, so j can zoom out and pitch up, while k does the opposite - a necessity after moving most my play to a laptop with no mouse).

Scroll-wheel zoom is different from F9 3rd person views not because it's easier (tapping F9 is not even slightly difficult, lol), but because it keeps your facing/movement tied to mouse-look. For travelling, for kiting, and sometimes for pulling, F9 views that let you look around without changing your direction are vastly superior. For dealing with a complex melee situation as a tank the scroll-wheel 3rd-person is very nice as it lets you get a different field of view without changing your character controls. The scroll-wheel 3rd-person view's greatest value is that it does different things well than the classic F9 views.

wrong...

hitting f9 twice and zooming out is the same thing as mouse scroll EXCEPT when using f9 you can change the camera along the y axis, which is kind of annoying when using mouselook to move while in 3rd person.


do people not realize Titanium was made for the TENTH EQ expansion... this client makes classic way easier

Yes, please. Velious is very melee friendly. Need some Haynar to balance that flavor.
