Translation: DA idols need nerfed ASAP.

Would change absolutely nothing in regards to pulling dragons in this situation. DA idols are just insurance. 2 classes can cast 2 DAs and 2 others can cast or sing 1. It is always about resources raiding on this server. You take away DA idols and the resource for DA swaps to having characters available to cast it. People will just start sharing more accounts.

Seeing the widespread abuse of clickies on the server, it's time to take a serious look into disabling this major crutch that the so-called raiders utilize to conquer content.

1. Remove recharging items.

2. Make significant nerfs to said items that people seem intent on exploiting. (clicky complete heals, DA idols, easily obtained clicky slow items, etc.)

3. Seeing it is near impossible to stop all the exploitive tactics p99 raiders are intent on using, raid mobs, particularly dragons need to be rooted or have such a tight leash they cannot be pulled to any zonelines, period. This will force the fights to happen as they always were meant to.

Make the raiders actually have to fight and raid the way EQ1 was designed to, and stop this abomination of cheating the system for pixels. These whining, exploit-using players have milked dragons for easy pixels far too long, and it's time to make p99 raiding great again.

Crawling to big raid bosses, the intrigue and build up is what made raiding so exciting on classic. The insta-gib, pull to the zoneline crap these players literally pull should be stopped, and pixels should be earned from this point on.

These changes alone would create a far more immersive experience while raiding, and a true fulfillment of accomplishing something in an elfsim would be present again.

hardcore raiders would finally have the true challenge of competing against one another as they always remind us they want more than anything, that being a true competition of the best raid guilds against one another, proving who has what it really takes to conquer the games content in the way it was meant to be.

Remove socking, and "racing", and bring back raiding and crawling.



***Yes, maybe some of these changes wouldn't be "classic", but let's be real here players here on p99 are not playing with the same (lack) of knowledge players on live (classic) had with regards to all the tricks and exploits they now are aware of and intent on using. Seeing these same players have no self control and will always take the easiest road provided to milk maximum pixels for minimal effort, the devs here have no choice but to alter the raid meta with significant changes and rooting mobs/nerfing clickies would be a good start.

When do enchanters get an AOE perma charm and dual wield?

The new sneak mechanic changes nothing related to how TOV was previously executed. The leash mechanic, however, changes everything. It will be interesting to see how the meta on the server adapts to these changes. Fte and TOV dragon kills will surely change. How this change occurs is up to the leadership of the top guilds as well as our support staff. Hopefully the adaptation of these mechanic changes produces a more formidable raid environment for all involved.

The leash change has made these fights and pulls far less trivial. How exciting!

Eh...Still pretty trivial. The only thing that would completely change gameplay mechanics is rooting of Dragons. Which won't happen on P99.

You must have take a break from the raid scene. The way dragons were pulled was with a rogue bound at ZI (doesn't work now because leash) and the way trains were done was with a wizard bound in north(doesn't work because leash). So yea... it completely changes the mechanics on how things were pulled.

Use necros, bards and Coth Bots for the same results.
