Bring target rings back.

[HeallunRumblebelly]

Tank targets mob of his choice (any mob, really, though they can often assist puller and have plenty of time to make a choice w/o target ring)

DPS assists tank

Enchanter assists tank and then tab -> mez -> tab -> mez pretty much everything assume aoe mez is not needed (and thats when shits usually going pretty badly :P)

Who is actually using the target rings to see who they're targeted on outside of large scale pvp? really?

Quite simply, we fix things when we have the means.

Notice the other client-related issues which have been recently fixed. Brown skeletons, maps, and spellsets.

On the slate, if not already fixed, bypassing 'tradeskill recipe window' to open tradeskill containers with combine button.

I also requested that PCs in skeleton form not display names (hope that's fixable)

If you know of more client-related bugs, post them.

It's actually easy to understand. The server goal is listed on the front page, to become as classic as possible. I myself am interested in this goal and the reason I play here.

I try to get as close to classic as I can even if the rules allow some non-classic things. I myself went in and disabled rings when I first started playing because I wanted the game to be classic. That is why you are here to right?

Edit: I went in and disabled all new pet graphics too. I don't know if this is fixed yet but it has been fixed for me for a long time now!

It wasn't just changed for PvP.. The ongoing goal of this server is to make it as classic as possible. Whether or not you want to hear that argument that much is true. Over time they are learning how to remove these features that they have wanted removed since the beginning.

You are completely exaggerating the effects of this. They are a convenience and were nice to have. However if you really can't play just as well without them your a bad player simple as that. Especially if your a melee like your post implies this has the least effect on you. I mean honestly if your clicking the mob right in front of you most likely it's targeted. Maybe you guys tab target for everything? Anyone who targets with their mouse and is paying even slight attention to whats going on should not be affected by this.

It's certainly not worth the amount of crying going on in this thread. I mean really why don't you guys enjoy the game and learn how to play without them instead of crying to your gods to change it back.

It's not a matter of being any good or not, it's whether I can surf the web or watch TV while being in a boring-ass exp grind group that is going to put me to sleep if that's the only thing I'm doing.

The benefit of the ring is what I described above: being able to pay as little attention to the game as possible. With the target ring, I get a large visual confirmation that the thing is in front of me and I am probably hitting it. Even if I assist the tank, the thing might run off for a caster while I'm checking my email. If the giant ring disappears from the EQ window, it's pretty easy to tell. Now I have to check my combat log or look for flashing names, which requires more attention.

The point is not whether slagging-off and surfing the web in an exp group is a good thing to do or whether the player is bad. The point is that everyone that has been playing on this server for the past few years has had this crutch to use for whatever they need it for (watching porn while playing EQ, being the worst EQ player ever) to get to where they are now. However, now I am being told that I can't chat and DJ on turntable.fm in order to stay awake while grinding Sol A at 3am. I guess I won't. I guess I'll go to sleep, never level up, and the admins and their buddies can hope that none of their level 60 club ever quits because there isn't going to be anyone to replace them.

Sounds like you would rather be doing something else than actually playing the game. Why are you playing? I am sure you are a joy to have in a group ...

It's a good question. This game is boring as fuck. I don't know why I bother.

Someone asking these questions is usually asking the same of themselves though, so take a look in the mirror, buddy, rather than projecting onto someone else.

Have you noticed that your the only one taking up this argument that people will quit because level 60's had the advantage of target rings? Honestly if you don't enjoy this game enough to play it without target rings you should quit. Most of us came here because we were told it's a classic server and this is how it was in classic EQ. I mean your basically asking them to go against the overall goal of the server because you don't want to play without reading your email at the same time.

If you can play by only looking at a target ring while DJing or browsing then I'm guessing your group roll isn't that important.. Most likely people won't notice you being a little bit worst than you were before. I can guarantee you 99% of these level 60's your talking about would be EXACTLY where they are with or without target rings. It takes a lot of work to get there and for 99% of us not having target rings isn't game breaking.
