This may seem strange to you on blue, but on red we don't do VP and Trakanon with 70 people. We did trak Thursday with 22 people, and only one cleric. We do VP with 25 on average.

Thats cause your whole server would have to be there if you did trak with 70 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Half the server is in one guild, numbers is all you have, actually.

I don't understand how you can make a statement about making encounters "artificially more difficult" and then make a post like this.

Hardly any guild could kill Trakanon with 22 players and 1 cleric/VP with 25 even if they were geared to the teeth in Velious/Luclin shit. Doing this in Kunark gear? Fucking forget about it.

I honestly cannot figure out if the people here think they are better than the players that actually played the game back then or just never played at all and have no clue. Most likely a combination of both.

The current neg mods you see on allakhazam are not classic.

Pending update:

All blue diamond jewelry combines disabled until ~January 2001. This would be around a month after velious release and will be automagically enabled when the time comes.

Existing blue diamond jewelry (statless) will continue to exist. I am not sure if anyone made any of this or why they would, but I see no reason to change it.

Existing blue diamond jewelry (with stats) will be replaced with alternate statless versions until ~January 2001 when they would automagically become respective jewelry with stats again.

For example:
Silver Blue Diamond Ring: statless -> no change
Silver Blue Diamond Ring: with stats -> Will become SBDR, ring slot, no stats, tradeable.

Blue Diamond Electrum Earring: statless - no change
Blue Diamond Electrum Earring: with stats -> Will become BDEE, ear slot, no stats, tradeable

Golden Blue Diamond Pendant: statless -> no change
Golden Blue Diamond Pendant: with stats -> Will become GBDP, neck slot, no stats, tradeable

Platinum Blue Diamond Tiara: statless -> no change
Platinum Blue Diamond Tiara: with stats -> Will become PBDT, head slot, no stats, tradeable.

Velium Blue Diamond Bracelet: No change. Cannot be crafted yet because velium bars are not obtainable. Recipe disabled until ~January 2001.

After the patch if you see a link for GBDP, you will know that shortly after Velious launches it will become a Golden Blue Diamond Pendant with stats. I did it in this way so people can still distinguish between different versions.

I personally TALKED to you about this back in January 2012, and you said by the end of the week it would be removed. It took you over 17 months to follow through. Hilarious.

It is unfortunate what was required to fix this wasn't available when Kunark was released, but that's just how it is. I'd rather fix it when I can, than not at all.

I wanted it removed immediately, but existing items spread throughout corpse blobs aren't as easy to deal with as you seem to think they are. So, fuck off.

First fights of Velious should be done with proper resists.
