I mean a magician was 2nd to level 30 and only by like 20 minutes so I hardly see how they are suffering...

Wait until next time around (on Green 2.0) when mage pets won't be able to cast spells. On Green 1.0 they cast spells now. That got added in on the late May patch. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This magician was carried, you know that I guess.

Anyway, were the drop tables on research components reviewed, to make it realistic to research pet spells, or was it intended that magicians wouldn't have 24+ pets until groups at least 7 levels above the pet level farmed enough content to make the items readily available?

I'm going to guess no loot tables were reviewed, because a 31 mage saw his first research component for a pet .. a level 24 one at that.

Also a final question, when can we expect to see necro / mage pets attack with the delay of weapons given to them? Mage / necro pet with a FS dagger should be attacking at 1.8 delay soon, for quite some months.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Research drops tables on blue matched my memory of Live, and so far Green matches as well.

It’s true, there are a lot of game mechanics details that were just beyond the scope of Green at this time. Something that was obviously imbalanced and changed early being left out isn’t going to destroy the game. Can’t loot other players corpses? I think we can deal with that. Original necro charm spells not being in? Deal with it, it wasn’t a great idea then and it still isn’t; that’s one of the broken things about the game that P99 hasn’t bothered to recreate. You know, cus it’s developed by random people as a hobby for which they are paid not in dollars but in whiny tears.

Let me say that not having pets post 20 is going to slow mages and necros down in some ways but we are already killing lvl 35 content today. Mage pet words dropped tonight off lvl 24+ mobs so we will get what we need and keep rolling along.

P99 Green server is delivering a great experience to everyone. None of us are godmode in classic but that makes it fun, Big thanks to the P99 server crew for delivering a challenging and rewarding opportunity.

Everyone who is struggling or getting down, just take a breath and enjoy the journey - it's not going to come around very often.

See you in game - Harms, Green Magician

That's what you get for playing a class with a pet that's stronger than players.

I told people Mage was going to be the fastest leveling class and they weren't bad in classic. *sigh*
Enchanter was 2nd in my prediction due to the secret trick(s)
