I'd like to mention a few things from release on live.

The spell book was initially displayed while medding even at level 50. I was 50 before the level 35 patch was introduced.

You could also move spells around in the spell book while medding. I had a VERY organized one.

I believe you could also see your groups' health bars while medding. I distinctly remember medding till a heal was necessary then medding again. Unfortunately I have no pictures of this.

I understand that the blank screen hack was the best that could be done. I'm a developer and such is life.

I'll have to stand up every 6 secs to check the health bars I guess. Maybe every 3 secs as a lot can happen in 6 secs.

At least the change was not classic enough to last past level 35.

Of course you could. Clerics/etc couldn't function otherwise and it's plainly visible on any number of old-world screenshots. I believe you can see the group window on their implementation of it too. It's very difficult to see because it's black UI elements against a black background, but I don't think the meditate blackout covered up the UI elements. The hotbuttons are clearly still visible. There simply weren't any other players grouped with the test character. If the other UI elements (such as group window) are NOT visible that would be extremely un-classic.

EDIt: re-watched Rogean's video. player health bars, socials window, target window, hotbuttons, chat window are all clearly visible while meditating. No reason to think the group window (hard to see due to black-on-black) would be uniquely and solely hidden when none of the others are. I think we're safe in that respect.

IMO we shouldn't be launching any new servers until we get the viewport UI fully functioning and required. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is a carnal difference between dial-up speed and disconnections, and mediation requiring your full attention 1-35.

One is an actual mechanic designed into the game on purpose the other is a byproduct of the environment and has nothing to do with the game itself.

Meditation adds serious gameplay implications that affect class balancing, it gives melee classes in classic a huge advantage for leveling early game, and gives low teir players something very rewarding to look foward to. 35 is like end game for most mid range and casual players that dont stay till the final expansion. On blue level 35 is just hurray, welcome to hell levels! On green (and in classic everquest) it was a milestone achievement. A huge victory. There are all kinds of spells in this game designed around it, sentinel, uh.. theres more but thats the only one I remember lol

Nary the two are relatable. It'd be like saying what makes classic classic is hearing your sister playing Britney Spears while you game.

"Boy I love that game Everquest, I cant stop thinking about how that earthquake in Turkey killed 13,000 people around the same time it came out"

What you need 13,000 people to die prior to green's launch for it to be "accurately classic" *gamer voice* ?

lol

Look you can not like meditation up to level 35, but it aint anything like slow dialup speeds.

That said, and Ill never stop sounding like Daldean over it: Druids cant track and med at the same time until someone proves it.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.
