If you wanted a guise on p99 green, you had to sock through the other people who wanted to get it, before it's too late. If you want warder loot on green, you also had to sock through the other people who want it, before it's too late. It's the same thing.

It's like when somebody claims an analogy is wrong because you're comparing two things that are different. Like yeah that's why it's an analogy; you're showing how two things that are different in some ways (player VS dev controlled) are also similar in more important ways (you knew what you had to do to get item X and you didn't do it, sorry).

If ST had announced in advance (which they did, just by days not months) would that have somehow been better?

A lot of words, but choice remains

It's not removed by developers. Not the same thing.

You've already been slowly conceding my point the entire time.
You're trying to shift the goal posts to save face.

Not moving the goal post, I am simply trying help you out by explaining different aspects of my argument. It is a waste of time for you, since you are a troll. But hopefully it is beneficial for the other readers.

This is ignorant. Those items removal or changes were nerfs. If this game magically stopped in velious, nerfs to this event WOULD OF HAPPENED. But the game didn't stop here, it kept going. so no need to nerf it as its irrelevant. P99 staff needs to nerf this in the future. Nerfs happen because of unfair advantages or broken mechanics. this mechanic is obviously broken if the game stops in velious.

I think you mean sleeper needs a buff to not wake up after all 4 are dead. A nerf would mean the sleeper would wake up after 3 or 2 or 1 warder dies.

Despite that I think the mechanic works exactly as intended…I don’t understand where you’re coming from on this.

Agreed, I am confused as well on what he is trying to say.

Well the manastone was working as intended. the Guise of the deceiver was working as intended. but unfair advantages were discovered and it was nerfed. So this interaction only happening once should be nerfed for a p99 server that stops in velious. How is this not understandable?

It's not my problem you are trying to move the goal posts now.

Calling me a troll won't make your initial comparison any less stupid than it was.

That is a separate argument from this thread. It would certainly be consistent to simply remove all legacy items, but that isn't what we are talking about here hehe. P99 is supposedly trying to re-create the Everquest timeline, even though they don't do it perfectly. This is why they put Manastone in for a month and then remove it, to attempt to simulate the limited time drop of that legacy item. But that is still a customized decision that is unique to P99, and not the same as the on-the-fly nerf that occurred initially in 1999.
