Lol guess Dald's 2 main toons being a druid and cleric he doesn't know what he's talking about.......Or he does and you just giving stupid excuses as to why you need con's in target window. If your have green pets on your raids then someone else is doing something wrong.

Dude, like I said I started here 3 months ago. You could be King Hippo and have 5 lvl 60s, I don't care. Its not a testament of your skills, just shows how much time you have invested.

Cons just help as much as knowing the gear people have, buffs they have, class they play. Its another tool in the toolbox.

So yeah maybe Dald is good, I don't know, never played with him, don't know the guy. But I have to admit it doesn't start well when he talks about "failing" to understand the use of con and healing people "likely" in your group. To me that's a patcher.

Still want the con colored box back please <3

I'm zoning way to fast. Is there a way to implement a static zone time on top of actual loading times to replicate my 1999 experience?

I would also like to look into random crashes on Sundays to represent my mom picking up the phone to make her weekly call to grammy and grampy resulting in a crash on my 56k modem connection.

Seriously, fast load times are not classic as fuck.

I don't want to hear any dev say "classic" until they put the boats in oot back the way they were. They're just being selective. Classic isn't nearly as important as drinking tears.

You could turn off certain text.

But god damn. Turn off Vent, Turn off TS, Turn off Skype. Get 1 chat box.

Now let's race to a dragon and get some FTEs and coordinate some heals and CC during the fight. Like classic was meant to be played.

I fucking HATE voice chat with classic eq, kills my immersion. Always impressed me that MS was still raiding end game EQ 10 years later using only guild chat, on complex scripted encounters, but yet here a simple Talendor fight is micromanaged with TS.

Is it really that impressive? THey've had how long to learn them? Probably memorized.

This was on cutting edge stuff

I was the raid leader in the guild heartbrand refers to. Until about 2012-13, Vent wasn't mandatory. We had Vent during that time but it was mostly used for bullshitting. The raids were also ridiculously more complex than classic EQ. However, one of the big reasons I got away with not using vent or even going over what we were doing in each event is because I wrote up how each event went that could be read in about 2-3 min so people knew WTF was up.

So we would just point apps and tards to our guild's wiki site, and they would know what was going on for the raid and then any raid directions that had to happen on the fly would be typed out by myself or were hotkeys. I probably had 40-50 raid hotkeys of things that I would have to regularly say, and didn't feel like typing. "Blow up red mushrooms!" For example.

Almost all of the raid wiki guides from UF, HoT and VoA were written by myself or another Druid officer at the time. This guide was good fun to write (although I got a bit too verbose with it). That raid was so very awesome. Even with all it's bugs. Atleast until you beat it a few times, then the 2 hour scripted event could die in a fire.

Voice chat I enjoy for Just talking/bullshitting. But for raids, I definitely prefer text. EQ lend itself to that pretty well too. Early on we only had guild chat / shout / OOC / auction to filter chat into. And raids were simple then. Raids got more complex, raid window is added as well as raid chat. Also chat channels come into being.

Everything, even in modern EQ, can be done easily without voice chat. Would be fun if All Vent and TS servers went down and we got a server repop. Just to see how confused people get.

TS just creates drama and makes the game feel like a job imho and encourages slacking + bad play

Nah, he just likes trolling people about the classic ui

I don't see how anyone can seriously argue that the game would be more fun played with it.

Well, I'll pull a page out of Swish's book and sort of quote the purpose of this server.

Something like "a server to relive the classic EverQuest experience."

People come here for nostalgia. Look helps facilitate that a lot. So does functionality. That UI is something most people identify with as a part of the classic EQ experience.

You like Classic EQ content, though maybe not the classic feeling as much. Cause I'm sure there were no 60 chanters soloing Drusella in classic. Or 60 shamans using puppet strings and 2 rooted pets to solo Sebilite Prot... Your version of fun isn't the same as others.

Plus... I get really tired of people saying how easy crap is with all their non-classic UI features that make the game far more fluid, when it was anything but back then. I'm sure quite a few people's solo artist challenge kills may have failed if they were limited to having a single bag open and limited visibility and a single chat box to watch for spell breaks...
