Meanwhile, enchanters and necromancer need to combine as they play cause their bags are filles with components. I trash necro words and wizards rune by the dozens at merchants cause they drop like candy.

Defenitly, the loot table is not tweaked to all research pet.

If you find Words of the Sentient (Azia) I will pay. Let me know plz!

I loved researching my spells on blue. I would go to the zones that had the pages, farm it, and bam. What's the problem?

Pretend you are a Cleric. You have no heal spells past 20 unless you research. No heal spells. Not just needed to do some research for a few good ones each level.

It why the put the shitty pets on the vendors and made your search the good pets. Every few spells levels allowed a good pet from the vendor.

Except its not the fact that we have to research that is the problem. Its how mage researched was put together. With a single combine necessiting maybe 50 ingredients and 5-6 different combine of material that dosent drop (HERE)

Cause we have no way of knowing how it dropped back then. All we know is that on p99 loot tables are way different. And mage materials don't drop.

If you get a canoe and start paddling you can still find some look in that shitty creek. Might need to wash it off but still there.

Things are game breaking

This thread confuses me.

I think we can all agree the current implementation is not very good. That is not in question.

But...

Isn't the point of this server, and in particular green, to emulate the classic timeline of EverQuest? If you prefer how SOE changed the mechanics months later and can't wait, why not play on blue? What's the point of a classic timelined server that violates the timeline constantly?

(For the record, IMO pets should be getting full xp and all the other dumb mechanics SOE launched with should be in right now, but not my server)

Loot tables are not right, it has nothing to do with timeline. If words would drop for the mechanic to work, there wouldnt be any problem, it would just be tedious and expensive.

Research has shown that in the beginning word drops were 3x more rare than later.

Enjoy this authentic classic experience.

To be exact, the re was no drop at the beginnig as the developpers back then admitted the class wasnt finished at launch.

Research has also shown mage pets didn't used to eat half the exp. "Classic experience" seems to be applied pretty one-sided against mages, a class that has nothing to look forward to in the future and so really doesn't need extra special nerfing in classic.

I see that as a round about way to simulate classic and counteract our knowledge of the game and mechanics.
