Item recharging is an exploit of game mechanics - Page 14

Giving pets low delay weapons that allowed them to attack REALLY fast with high damage was also classic yet that doesn't exist here. Explain.

Don't think so in Kunark.

Would we ask the staff to go out of the way to implement other exploits that existed previously though. I know my share of pathing bugs etc I could test that could go back in. I'm sure a live GM wouldn't approve of recharging items and seeing a raid mob go down to hoops back in the day.

IMO change resist rate on hoop charge, fix necro/sk tap lines. Call it a day.

Nothin else [edit - in this thread] matters to me. Other than going forward with the timeline to Velious(best expansion ever, why hold it up [edit - with nitpicking]?).

Come on peeps, let's help them(devs) get us to Velious by not occupying their time with less important matters.

Disclaimer - obviously all the above is my opinion. Carry on.

Yeah it was done on purpose.

I would also like to address something that a few people have brought up.

Some people have also said that these charged items will still remain in game so breaking recharge will do nothing. I disagree. Having to farm these consumables will have a profound effect in how the items are used. Some will stop being used ( not worth the time to reaquire ), some will be used in very limited circumstances. Most people who do not know about item recharging will look at an item with 3 charges of root and call it " crap "

Take http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=3674 for example.

There are classes that use the root on this net every single day. They farm 11 of them leave a charged one in the bank, carry 10 around in a bag and use them liberally. Recharge them after a group breaks, or at the end of the day, rinse repeat forever. Once they put the initial time in to farm these nets, they never have to do it again. This is basically giving root to every single class that does not get root, with very little front end investment. This is overpowering, this is broken. Just because its not used to slay a raid target, does not mean its not game breaking.

This is just one example, Im sure there are more out there that the devs, nor I myself know about. I do not pretend to know them all, nor do I pretend to know the ones that will enter the game in velious.

Actually you kinda sorta did

The fact that I started my post at 6:16 had to take a crap ( you posted at 6:19 ) and I came back and finished my post at 6:29 might have been missed by you however.

I would still like a yes or no from you, with my question quoted in the post.

Im done for the day, I came on to post a few poignant responses to yendor and few others and here I go getting trolled again.
