Why do people seem to hate luclin so much?

With old graphics, other player's mounts would appear as a naked (i.e. bikini-clad) woodelf female with a "Soandso's Mount" nameplate above the head. I'm sure the nerds who made & approved that choice thought themselves very clever.

I feel like skeleton illusion was the only thing that worked right with mounts with old graphics. I might be making that up though.

But yea. Mounts dumb. Required use of new graphics to use, gross.

cat people were dumb
bazaar ruined trading
new graphics looked like shit
new ui was dumb
mounts were dumb
porting to nexus was dumb

P99 staff catered to the lowest denominator when they added the loot pinata rules.

I thought the lowest common denominator was all the people who spend all day in game (if you think about it).

I guess the welfare/diability check is like a loot pinata [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]?

Lizard people don't lick their anuses when cleaning themselves

I must have missed that animation.

Seriously, the only argument ever made against Vah Shir is this:

ZOMG FURRIES ARGH RARGH GLARGARGGBBBLLLEEERRRGGGG!

Which is stupid, because, hey, elves. Four kinds of elves! There's your "otherkin" BS character right there.

What's next. The graphics? What? The world isn't rendered exclusively in right angles? THE HORROR. The models? Turn off the luclin models, you don't have to use them. In fact i recommend it, that way you still see all the nice velious armor. I personally really liked the Luclin world graphics, because they didn't look like someone had blown up a low-resolution jpeg x2000 and smeared it across the world.

The interface? yeah well, that's the interface we're using on P99 anyway, like it or not.

The bazaar? Pissed people off because it didn't work until really late in the expansion. Neat thing is, if it' a problem, it can be disabled. It'll be just like classic luclin that way.

"Aliens"? Oh lawd, you can use a talking dirt clod to beat up a frog that casts spells and threatens you from beyond the grave while snakes kick you, but some dude with a big walnut head stretches it for you? Gimme a break.

The raiding was an endless grind? Yes. Yes it was. Somehow, most of the game got by just fine without worrying greatly about the raiding game.

AA's ruined the game? Well. Now we have an argument worth making! Yes, we could definitely say that these were a net negative to the game. some classes got pretty much nothing, others got fixes that should have been inherent to the class, and others got broken-ass manaburn. Then you have the AoE groups slurping up light blue mobs in barely-level dungeons, preventing players in the proper range from using them. AA's were a right fine mess, that's for sure.

I loved Luclin, Hated Velious on average. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Too damn much Snow and Wind blowing all the time. Made me want to move to Florida, which I did. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

THIS. Mostly the graphics and bazaar for me. Also there were tons of exploit bugs, and why are we in space? Let's keep the medieval fantasy theme going here.
