Sense Heading

[bhughes]

One of my biggest gripes is sense heading failing at level 200. I know back in 98 it would have been tough to include some kind of graphical compass, enter sense heading as a skill that you leveled like any other but why the damn fails? I'm always using the thing even at level 56 only to see it fail all the time.

What other skill fails like it does? Not sneak or hide on my rogue. I guess monk feign fails sometimes.

OK, maybe it should fail if your drunk.

No, I know damn well it will never be changed, so don't try to poke fun at me for whining.

I think I'll go Mel Brooks here, History of the World Part 1 and I'll be the art critic in the cave and the artwork is our wonderful sense heading ability!

Sense Heading has failed!

Long live p99!

Can you tell which direction you are facing in real life under 100% of circumstances?

This is something people are able to learn to do. Some cultures don’t have concepts of left/right forward/back (i.e using self as directional reference point), instead using a universal reference point not dissimilar to compass headings.

As such I don't think it is unrealistic for capped sense heading to be infallible.

That said, if it ain’t part of Brad’s vision: Not Classic.

Can you cast snare, sow or Ice Comet in real life?

Also, if im at home i can. My house is almost exactly aligned to east/west and north/south. So even eyes closed i could tell what room im in, and point to compass directions quite accurately.

Also also, im old enough to think my sow spell is closer to a snare based on my run speed...

Failing a sow pot combine at max alch is pretty depressing, I can tell ya that

My point is that the devs were trying to emulate real life, at least for this skill.

Of all the gripes to have about EQ I never thought to add this one.

Know what I miss from retail EQ?

Not being able to fizzle level 4 spells with max skill, sometimes multiple goddamn times in a row

If we're talking about serious annoyances, I really think Iksars should be able to use fishing grubs as food.
