Must be standing to cast

[halfskye]

Fairly new P99 player here too (2-3 months) and hadn't played in 13 or so years. I recently and accidentally stumbled upon the auto-stand on cast with ALT + Spell Number and was pleasantly surprised. Prior to the realization I had been CTRL + S ing to Sit/Stand. Combined with my remapping of arrow keys to WASD for movement, I kept accidentally interrupting my spells due to micro backward movements. I had since created the Sit/Stand button to more rapidly Med after a cast. So I guess the new stand prerequisite won't be too painful.

Just wanted to share the sentiment of being surprised about the auto-stand behavior as I don't remember that at all in the old days. I definitely prefer that behavior over explicitly having to stand first though, for what it's worth.

Just map sit to the keyboard. I use wasd and just have x for sit/stand.

1. DoTs shouldnt be showing damage, only wore off message should.

2. Scrolling out to 3rd person should not be possible

3. Buffs should not be showing duration even when pressing ALT

4. Buff stacking not working properly here. If you have an empty slot on top, the next buff should fill it. Example you have 2 empty slots then Skin Like Wood then SoW. Someone recasts SoW on you, it could goto the top slot. (being worked on according to dev)

5. When casting a spell from the sitting position it should give you message must be standing to cast a spell and not have you stand automatically. there is more than on design.

6. when camping from the standing position it should say you must be sitting to camp instead of sitting you down automatically.

7. not sure if bug or what but it seems like I hardly see my actual weapon swing while in first person view. if you look at this video i am linking, you certainly see the rangers weapons. this is not the case on here unless ranger epics are different. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVrOmBUDBS0

8. pretty sure this is client side but user should not be able to see how much mana he has as a number.

9. level up graphic not classic (Fixed)

10. linking items and multiple chat boxes not classic

11. apparently spell book shouldnt be 8 spells per page but a wierd design (dont remember this)

12. spells take long as HELL to memorize (both to spell book and to spell bar) on eqmaq. not even joking, probably takes at least 5x as long.

5 and 6, you are welcome [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

some serious dickriders in here.

here's my 2 cents, even though nobody asked for it.

i've played for a month. pretty dedicated to lvl 48 cleric.

forced beta happens. fine. i could care less about velious but i understand the need to move to that era.

camp the forums mon-tue, nothing.

log in today, can't see anything. stand to cast. backwards ass changes after 4 days.

well, i understand that it's a free game, but before this weekend the illusion of EQ was real. it felt like i went in the wayback machine and was playing EQ for the first time again. now though, i feel disenchanted and the curtains have been lifted to the fact that this is an amateur team running an amateur server.

gm handholding on raids is not classic. i have nothing to look forward to end game with the nannyquesting that i hear about. i don't think i'll keep playing, sadly.

if you hit 60, you dont hear a ding, you hear Game Over!

I think the gamma change has been beaten to death, and even the devs have admitted in some fashion or another that it didn't get implemented quite optimally (asserted from the fact that a subsequent patch was already released to address some issues related to it). Give them a chance to make some further adjustments, I'm sure they did not intend to have the game be unplayable for anyone, assuming that is even the case as I haven't really confirmed it for myself yet.

And if the stand/cast is classic, nobody should really have any issues with it. Surely it won't take but a few minutes to adjust, even as a spell bar clicker I managed to get the feel for using a key bind to the sit/stand button in just a few minutes.

As for the raid rules and such, those are all valid points of contention and are still being debated by many. Even if you disagree with some of them as I do, it's somewhat understandable why the rules were put into place, the reasons being nobody's fault in particular. It's just the circumstances of having limited development and GM resources. As far as I know nobody on the staff is drawing a salary to sit and work on content releases or do support work 12 hours a day.
