The bard AoE thing, I feel like everybody has amnesia. Doesn't anybody remember swarm kiting, where you would charm one of the things in your swarm, and send it in to get slaughtered by the rest?
Ya I get it. As much as I want to MQ an epic to a low or cleric, I get why I can't. But at the same time. By making this change, and others. They have made the server not classic. Simple as that.

And now that they've made it not classic, intentionally, of there own free will. It opens the door for all sorts of posts like this. Not that I'm against them. But do think it's silly how many hobby without even a comment from the devs. When it's the devs who opened the door in the first place.

Edit: and yes, I remember classic swarm kiting. Was my favorite tactic for leveling my bard on live during kunark. But for some reason they can't get social agro to work right here. So ya, aoe kiting is how bards roll in p99. At least the ones that can't group.

It's true, he looks like someone trying to look cool. Which is never cool. I love me some Aradune tho, and I have high hopes for Run of the Walking or Stand of the Unseated or whatever it's called. Oh yeah, Rise of the Fallen.

I've found that usually people with goatees are trying to look cool or bad ass

I always find it funny when polls are made or threads are made about people complaining about MQ's but they never bother to do a search on Multi-Questing and see the post made by Rogean himself, about adding it to the system over six years ago...

http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=17742

He wrote a template for it and the first thing he added it to was Hasten Bootstrutter for the Journeyman Boots quest. He even asked which quests or epics it should be implemented into.

tfw your entire shitty whinethread falls apart because the server owner deliberately coded it to work that way [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Six years ago. Back before you had a large number of 60's cockblocking almost every MQáble epic spawn and valuable MQ camp in the game.

Rogean also planned for a classic EQ experience, some of those classic mechanics didn't make it into the game making farming and cockblocking trivial.

Now the server has almost reached completion, the question is not what Rogean said 6 years ago but rather does he want it to remain the way it is, a massive cockblocking farm fest which benefits only a small % of the server population or something different?

Neither you or I can answer that one. All I want is a new green server (preferably with modified MQ code) but I'd settle just for a fresh server.

Either hardcore that shit or shut the fuck up. This game has never been about the casuals, and shouldn't be.

EQ is a fucking riot if you don't worry about stupid shit like the neckbeards do. If you can't camp something like Stormfeather by yourself for 18 hours, watching that stupid boat in the background that you want to believe is the stupid fucking bird, then you cannot hang with this game.

So, choose to ignore the noise and enjoy the game. It does not have to be a job. Maybe it was (for most of us) from 1999-2002 or so, but is that the reason you came back? To be a guild officer and field retarded entitlement complaints from assholes you did not know?

THIS IS WHY THINGS LIKE WoW HAPPENED.

Default @ 'ェ' @

The rot of self interest ravages the fair form of our dear Elfsim beneath the obscuring aegis of stupidity and faux equanimity. We might know but one salvation: violence. May the bright light of savagery burn rend the taint from our beloved Norrath!

May the Lords of the Staff lead our way in brutality. Let us fear one another's bloodied names as much as we fear the wrath of our Dear Sir Ken! Let us embrace true equanimity with adoption of uniform penalty: death and divestment! Let our Dear Lord Sir Ken mete bitter justice upon all transgressors alike with the redeeming Touch of Death! Let the corpses lay open in he Commonlands for all to know their shame and for the nooblets to share in their wealth. Let no item, no matter it's sacred nature, remain soul bound to such transgressors.

Savagery Save Us!!!
