Dyslexic velious

Archery in velious isn't good but isn't useless as a source of damage with the 2 fast cast nukes between shots. Seems like the bigger mistake was trying to make a hybrid out of an already hybrid class like Druid. Nukes as a source of ability with melee was a terrible idea when you can't melee through casting time.

Nukes during melee are still a pretty good DPS increase, especially if you're not dual wielding.

Nothing about PoP was poorly implemented other than their initial flagging system. Once it was resolved to allow levels to unlock access to all the groupable zones it was perfection.

Books were great.

Lowering the barriers to travel is one of the great fuckups of MMOs in general if you ask me.

Meh. When exploring a new location/expansion/game, I agree. Exploring a new dungeon, traveling across a new continent etc. After the newness wears off and the immersion decreases, running across West Karana for the 15th time really loses its allure and becomes a time sink more than anything else. You just auto run and hope you don't hit a tree while you make yourself food...

However when I started back in 1999, I fondly remember my run from Qeynos to Kelethin at level 9 on my Druid. One of the most exciting experiences in the game for me no doubt. 15 years on, I made that run again on my Druid at a later level I think, but after that with a few level 60s and some random other Alts, running around zones I've explored every corner of just isn't fun. Killing stuff, doing quests, grouping and raiding are what's fun now that I've finished exploring EQ.

One of EQs greatest fuckups was the spreadsheetization of quests and itemization. Nothing was unique when I quit. There were 4-5 Mercenary kill X mob quests per zone and 3-6 Partisan "lore" quests per zone and they all felt void of life. Little to no figuring them out was involved. The itemization since around SoF onwards was horrid. They standardized focus items so you didn't have to look at that, you maxed all stats, resists and mod2s innately without caring. The power difference between randomly picking gear from raids and selecting the BIS gear was negligible.

iirc Mcquaid fought to keep them out of the game, but was overruled by the team consensus

Glad to see so much love for PoP around here

Luck in was a disastrous expansion with awful zones and awful lore and awful models but AAs imo were a needed thing and PoP was just awesome

The only thing I didn't like was how they kept trying to improve the graphics but ended up making everything look awful

The art style used in vanilla thru velious was fantastic
