Soulfire

[khanable]

I'm for nerfing Soulfires. I agree that it wasn't within the 'vision' of the game to Soulfire mobs down. Just like hooping mobs down, shit is dumb.

But if we're gonna go that route, you'll also need to fix:
-epics at level 1
-training in VP
-sub level 59/60 people in VP
-recharging items
-donals bp
-monks split pulling
-swam kiting
-all powerleveling techniques

etc etc

There will be no swarm. Some of us play this game for reasons other than loot.

Don't forget: manastone, guise of the deceiver, multiquesting, complete heal!

Alarti -

Ele is fighting for the stated purpose of the server. Agree or disagree; it really doesn't matter since that's what this particular server is about.

I think that's what you're missing. This isn't a matter of "should". They should fix rangers too and add AA's... but they won't. They aren't making a BETTER Everquest experience they are trying to relive the original.

They are trying to make a 100% classical server within reason, exceptions being made for overpowered bugs/abuse of mechanics.

You couldn't levitate in Sky here, you could in classic. That isn't something that is technically/mechanically out of their league. But levitating in Sky allows you to abuse the intent of the zone.

You couldn't use the level 56 rez bug here to power level characters to 60. All that took was a 56 cleric and someone with harmony.

You can't give pets no-drop weapons.

You can't give NPC's weapons to use.

All of these were "classic" and easily implemented/removed, so are many others, but they were changed in order to give some legitimacy to the raid scene of the server. The same way they nerfed Mage pets once guilds started sending 30 mages up to Plane of Sky, the way they already nerfed DA agro although that was a Velious change, the way they nerfed Ivandyr's hoops; this kind of action isn't unprecedented on this server.

IB just happens to fall in the same boat as TMO on this issue, we want content to be hard, not trivialized by killing a lvl 52 mob in Freeport, or having 15 lvl 46 clerics running a 1.2 second CH cycle.

Like all things in life very little is black and white. I think ele is fighting for his opinion of what the server should be. In large part his opinion matches with the Dev team. I also thing the dev team must disagree with him in some regard for non-classic mechanics like Variance, and FTE shouts to become active.
