Is Blackstone Maul going to be upgraded in the future?

Hardcaps for AC likely needed for this era. Monks are OP.

Just recalling by memory, but would this be considered 'custom content'? I thought Demonstarr55 showed that soft caps were in place at the end of Velious (maybe I misunderstood his post).

Of course, I don't even quite understand if AC on P99 is properly functioning, seemed like something of a debate.

P.S. If I have your ear, would you ever consider limiting P99 to only opening 2 containers? I came across another post from Ele where you said it was possible to restrict moving items within bank bags, but that messing with the movement code was too dangerous (could cause dupes). Not sure if preventing opening a container is the same thing?

P99 purposefully uses a non-classic interface.

Why would you even want this? Christ.

Because I'm a purist plain and simple. That not clear yet?

And don't pretend titanium client was intentional purely for the interface. I don't know the specifics of why it was chosen, but then again we've jousted over these points before.

Titanium was once a free public download so that probably had something to do with it.

The powers that be have their own limits. Some years back I recollect Haynar saying he had a fix for mousewheel scroll ready to go but was over-ruled. Likewise the admins here have said they have no intention of removing features like item linking or multiple chat windows because they like having those things, classic or not.

289 AC hardcap is classic. But IMO that only helps monks who can then achieve identical AC to a plate tank while retaining Block (which is not 360 degree here I might add!).

I don't really consider Monks overpowered here in terms of pure fighting capabilities. My Warrior has substantially worse gear than my monk and yet blows him away in tanking ability, and Rogues always beat me effortlessly on the parse.

The problem with P99 monks is not pure offense/defense, but broken mechanics that are way too favorable to monks: all of the previously mentioned FD issues that let monks go anywhere with little risk, NPCs attacking probes, push to interrupt, and (before) the lack of a cap on the blinding orb. If these are fixed then I feel like the various melee would be pretty well balanced.

Then we just need the specific immunities patch to let player nukes and taps and dots land on raid bosses and I feel like things would be pretty reasonable, except for Wizards, and even they do OK with VP/Velk robes.

It would be really fantastic to see Project 1999 finally get some classic mechanics. On the other hand, I couldn't care less about multiple bags being open. Even TAKP's client lets you open more than one bag. Whatever.

If you're gonna let every class nuke raid mobs, then wizards are gonna need something in return. I will accept the TAKP version of Flaming Sword of Xuzl (it's awesome over there) and spell crits as recompense.
