Patch Notes: Tuesday September 18th, 2012

[Nerocon]

I love how most of you think there is some sort of manual, or how-to on making a classic server. Don't you think if they knew how to remove every little thing that was not classic they would of done so from the start? These guys have to spend their free time researching, testing, breaking, re-testing over and over to get this shit figured out.

Obviously the compass and pet window were not high priority and are just now getting looked at and fixed. If you want the compass, target rings, pet window, and non-classic UI then why don't you just play on any server that disables luclin+ expansions and call it a day? This is a CLASSIC server, and they are working hard to get it classic.. It does not happen over night. Anyone claiming they want a classic experience, but leave things like target rings, shadows, and titanium UI enabled can STFU. Personally I am looking for a real classic experience, it kills me that I have to use titanium but that's how it is for now. So I take what steps I can on the client side to support the stuff on server side and slowly but surely its getting more and more classic and that kicks ass!

Thank you dev team, for continuously bringing us a classic experience.

Having compass gone is totally classic, and if you don't have the zones memorized then you haven't played classic long enough! Awesome update, and as always thank you for this amazing server!

[Deanob]

poor move on the compass ui removal from a logical point of view. (imho of course)

[deneauth]

Classic is classic as far as compass removal goes! Who can argue with that? Personal arguments aside.

Still broken. This sucks, there's a hundred rubi bps out there and for soloing it sucks without regen. This is a real pain in the ass.

Screw classic. It is vastly underrated.

I'm going to do some research on this and bug report because I vaguely remember this working in kunark. I think there was even a patch that read "/pet report will now return a list of the current buffs on your pet"

There was no way to determine what buffs were on your pet. /pet report would return only a % of pet's hp. This was changed in Luclin or later.

All i'm saying if your gonna go Full Classic then go Fully Classic. Don't pick and choose what you want to be classic and take away stuff that is already in game that wasnt classic after its been there for 2 years.

I said this long ago, but I will reiterate the following:

I hope it is known that the server will become more classic as time progresses. As live servers would patch in new content or features, we patch out newer content or features.

We will restore prekunark, Kunark, and Velious to the best of our abilities. We will put polish on them, and they are free for you to roam. Some content and features may be patched out before others, but do not be of the mindset that present non-classic elements are here to stay. It is only a matter of if they can be fixed, how they can be fixed, and when we can fix them. If there was a switch to immediately and completely revert this to classic, I'd flip it. Until there is, we will occasionally ask you for your feedback.

I haven't logged in my necro to mess with pet commands yet... I'll probably do something similar for those.

Some helpful shorthand pet hotkey making:
/ho attack /pet attack --- will create a hotkey for /pet attack
/ho health /pet report health --- creates a hotkey for pet's health
/ho backoff /pet back off --- creates a hotkey for pet back off.

etc

Last but certainly not least:

Shot in the dark here guys, but some of you do know that EQLive still exists and will hold your hand and bleach your butthole if that's what you're looking for?
