P99 removed target rings

[Lasher]

Should be even more lol for those who never played classic pvp and were planning on playimg r99 if this implemented on r99

[Knuckle]

I can do this I'm ready boss

[JayDee]

Another blow to melees

[Lasher]

I dont know, I think its a blow to bad players, I think good melee will adapt back to the past

[Smedy]

I can't even believe it, i was discussing the target rings with a friend how fucking sweet it would be if it was gone and then 5 minutes later rogean prasies us with the patch log, i am now a religious person.

I love this change, i also like the no spell sets. Both changes separates the good players from the shitty, the way gaming is ment to be (no console auto aim bs)

[JayDee]

Lutherogean ?

[Bardalicious]

Fuck yes, I'm so stoked right now. Partially to hear the crying that will surely ensue, but mostly because target rings in PVP is goddamn retarded.

Rogean and Nilbog making my x-mas wishes come true.

Leave in no verticle melee range limit then imo ~

[JayDee]

so you want a side scrolling game

nice ninja edit bro

[Lasher]

Still have to see if this will be on red, I dont know why but I am pestimistic that it will

[gloinz]

is player collision? this would b ultimate classic imo

i remember pkaying with my mighty dwarf paladin in sol a and all the fat ogres and trolls colliding with each other and knocking each other into lava while desperately trying to escape the pvp champ

Living ogre barriers = winning! Keep dem pesky melee away from da healers bros. I'm glad you brought that up actually and hope collision is in on R99.

[Rushmore]

could this be something that fixes a hack?

[Lasher]

?

[Rushmore]

i have no evidence myself I would just think with a target ring in game it would be easier to exploit in some way by finding targets in zone that are targeted.

hacks. Though I don't know anything about hacks never used them myself!

So we are just taking target rings outta game for what reason......

I don't care

Dont remember exactly, i think like up to level 20 u had to stare at your god damn spells. was beyond lame. so ya like 100 skill sounds about rig\ht

You were stuck staring at the book to meditate til level 35. Sucks for casters. Kinda nice for melee to get the jump though.

With newer UIs and the book not taking up the entire screen you can slide it off to the side and see what's around you at least. The old-school tiny box UI was awful for casters.

they took out the maps last night too

[Silikten]

no more ppl auto following target rings...woot

[nilbog]

You opened your spellbook, then clicked the 'Meditate' button.

At level 35, it was no longer required to open your spellbook or press the meditate button. You just needed to sit to med.

It was level 30 or 35. I forget, one of those two levels you did not have to use the spell book anymore. After critically thinking harder I want to say 35.

Edit: Should have read the end of the thread before posting this, Nilbog for the win.

qft, even tho it was super lame, it was how i got so dang good at /gems

wave 50 champ of the blue box

[Lasher]

Didn't gems come after they removed spellbook med? Maybe I was just high enough lvl

[nilbog]

In August 2000, they removed the necessity of clicking the 'meditate' button while spellbook was open, and also removed the /meditate command. Meditating still required the spellbook to be open, prior to level 35.

AUGUST 30, 2000

Opening your spellbook will automatically cause you to begin meditating providing that you have the skill.
Removed the /meditate command since it is no longer necessary. /gems was introduced 03/06/01.

MARCH 6, 2001

A new "mini-game" has been added to the EverQuest client. EQGems is our first effort aimed towards allowing people to engage in different activities while playing EverQuest. Based upon the success of EQGems, we may explore opportunities for other mini-games in the future, even some that are multiplayer in and of themselves. Type /gems to play.Pre-35 spellbook meditating was removed altogether in 2002.

MARCH 19, 2002

Spell casters no longer need to see their spell book when meditating. Once a character has the meditation skill, it will function when the character is sitting down.

[Smedy]

classic spell book meditation makes me hard, lets do it brews

[Lasher]

can it be done?

[Kevris]

God I can't wait to roll an SK twink with an argent protector and CoS...

[Foxx]

Good change.
