"xp penalties are wack, and un necessary. even if its free, no one WANTS to eat a shit sandwhich. but when your starving.."


EZ server is, indeed, easy when considering what this post was initally about.


I am sure it takes some skill, luck, and dedication to get all those high-end items...but EZ is a pure abomination of why i bothered coming back to everquest in the first place. I box'd my way up to 70, got 2.0's and said fuck it months and months ago.

I'm glad you found the appropriate venue to complain. I am sick of seeing people complain in Server Chat, you are correct. Do it here.

The objective of the server is to create a historical representation of the classic experience to the best of our ability.

Experience penalties: The in-game experience bar for every original player abided by these same rules. So, let's look at dates. EQ was released in March of 1999. The penalties were removed in January of 2001, in Velious. The majority of the classic timeframe (1 yr and 10 months) happened exactly the way it should be happening now.

This particular topic has been discussed in length on the forums. In my opinion, the experience system is an integral part of the game that shouldn't be ignored because people want to balance the entire game. I grow increasingly tired of playing mmorpgs until they are completely balanced. When that happens, everyone is the same, and it is boring. This is one small corner of the gaming universe where we are not forced to balance due to complaints of difficulty or envy.

If you want a level 60 hybrid character when Velious opens, put some time and effort into it. There will be more loot for you.
Now you're speaking their language.

They don't care about a classic experience. They want an easier experience where they can claim to be good at classic EQ / play barbie dolls with items.

THIS is a rant/flame whatever

dont nazi shut down threads because you 'sick' of having to see something brought up again.

xp penalties are wack, and un necessary. even if its free, no one WANTS to eat a shit sandwhich. but when your starving..

to justify the them being here as "its part of classic EQ" is fine, but to say it is alive and well exactly where it should be, because most of the penalties dont make any sense at all. How a fully group dependent tank has a 40% penalty, but a unbelievably OP mage has a 10% penalty is not only beyond me, but beyond any logic. like stated prior. not a mistake in coding, just a mistake in the thought process that leads to the xp penalty existing in the first place.

i love you and this game dont take this the wrong way. without this kind of criticism life doesnt work.

Thanks,

Dev
are you serious? is this guy serious?

Ah, boohoo i am a tank that can guarantee aggro and either feign death or resurrect, heal or lay on hands. Here comes the violin chorus OP.

I'd like to think you'd be playing quite some time after you are 60... so why all the complaining about being 58.5 when your buddy is max lvl? You get incredible utility, snap aggro and HT/lay hands are things you just can't replace when the moment comes up.

I was grouped on blue with an enchanter who had a pacify resisted pulling the area before Crypt Emp, he had 4-5 mobs aggro him and I lay hands'd him while unconscious. Not only did this save his life, it transferred all mob aggro to me so he could safely mez away. If I was a warrior? He'd be DEAD. Not to mention, if my bashes missed, I had a castable stun on the (tashed, had to remind the enchanter to do this lol) crypt guardians. I'll take a penalty to have all that utility. Not to mention? A 90% res as a 60 paladin? Spammable deep water helm on group shaman cannabalizing?

If the force (read: eq mechanics) is strong with you, any added ability at all can be completely game changing.

Maybe he is just not a very good Everquester, Nirgon. Have some pity.
