Discussion: Yellow Text

[TheLieka]

Oh, haha. If you can cross server ooc, then the classic argument is moot.

Yellow text should be sent to blue server to show them how awesome pvp server is

still, (almost) everyone wants yellow text and we dont get it just because the owner says so....

Pretty sure I've said I wanted it, and I'm trying to get it, or something better in asap. What the fuck.

One of these, okay here goes.

pets arent classic,

elaborate.

we can see our mana with our non classic uis,

The ability to use non classic uis isn't something we can modify as of yet. If we could, you'd be in classic mode.

not staring at book to med

^ The ability to be forced spell book meditation until 35 isn't something we can modify as of yet. If we could, you'd be in classic mode. As an aside, Rogean and I have discussed making a purely black screen (blind mode) and forcing spellbook and chatboxes on top of it, therefore simulating the same scenario. Merely forcing the spellbook on top of the UI won't do anything, because of resolution size.

going ld with a pet doesnt turn it into a senseless killing bastard ect ect

Nor did it always in classic eq. Pretty sure it had something to do with a maintained hate list, like if I accidentally chose to beg/nuke/attack a pet. When its owner LDed, pet was like, oh I remember you. Needs way more research etc etc.

this server aint classic.

I suppose you will always be able to cherry pick a few things and claim everything isn't classic.

The inability to modify a few things should not be used to blanket an entire non-classic argument. If I could toggle a classic/non-classic switch and have everything completely and instantly classic, I would toggle that switch.

i didnt mean to sound like im bitching, im just sick of the "not classic" argument. my bad if i sounded like i was attacking your werk [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It was more for the people bitching about custom resists, global ooc, YT, and xp bonus

EDIT: as far as the pet thing goes i remember necro pets going rogue and kiling everyone. pretty sure it was an unattended bug but I loved seeing one go crazy around orc hill. reminds me of the inferno pets in classic wow (i think thats what they are called) They were basically a mob you controlled for a certain period of time, after time expired it went rogue. people used to dump them in the barrens (forgot the town) where it would slaughter everyone.

I also have a family and responsibilities, TOTALLY NOT CLASSIC

[BigSlip]

Prayin for that yello text tonight

[SearyxTZ]

I don't think anyone here actually wants it to be 100% classic, so you don't have to defend it Nildog.


It always (and only) comes up when people are speculating on why certain things aren't being done (ie: why isn't yellow text in? rabble rabble), so that would be the thing to address. Players assume that there is resistance to implementing non-classic features. Those speculated assumptions exist because the only communication coming from the dev side are your posts.

This is actually more than we usually get:

Pretty sure I've said I wanted it, and I'm trying to get it, or something better in asap. What the fuck.

I think transparent communication would go a long way not just for the players but also for you. Set expectations and be clear about things and then you won't have to deal with all the whining and rage and confusion.

If the bottleneck is "Rogean is waffling on doing it in the staff forum because of [whatever / busy IRL and needs approval / doesn't like idea / etc]", well.... there we go. Now we know. Now players don't peddle rumors as to why things are or aren't being done. Now you don't have to deal with the headache of players shooting the dark with false assumptions.

rogean too busy on star wars to implement yellow text
