Did he really.....

Null is from VZTZ. I give him some credit because of this. I also witnessed him being a complete moron while coding/gming for VZTZ. Relatively speaking, Null was not that bad, and he did do alot of work, even if i would consider half of it backward and ignorant.

But did he really say this:

Perhaps a /ready command that both players need to type before engaging in PvP?

If so....uh....well....hmmmm.

I don't even know where that's from nor can I be arsed searching. But jesus do you not understand sarcasm? That's like straight from the dictionary

Thats why the post is in the form of a question. Don't you understand reading comprehension?

I immediately thought that it better be a troll. But, the staff doesn't seem to use sarcasm very often, and they don't troll that much.

So you are of the opinion that he was joking?

It's my sig because it's hilarious.. he was mocking someone.

It was in response to this:

P.S. Like I said a mechanic where zoning while not in PvP then immediately being engaged on other side that allows you to zone back immediately and plug without punishment would be fine. I'm all for punishing zone plugging where someone runs to a zone to escape PvP that started while they were playing. It does need to account for this specific situation though where you zone into a new area and are immediately attacked.

so, of course, it made perfect sense to quote Null out of context in your sig - because there's not enough anxiety about R99 already. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh, the zoneplugging issue.

Can anyone expound and explain to me why the staff is adding in code that is not classic, but when some suggestions are made to "improve" the server, the answer is no, because it's "not classic".

If you are going to make the server "worse" by taking out target rings, taking out ducking interrupts, adding a los check at end of cast... you know adding in supposed "classic" features that were recognized as inferior and changed, then what's wrong with adding in the other classic features of some pvp servers such as leaderboard, ffa 6-50 free trade pvp etc... that would make the server more pvpable?

Why not take out item links? That's definately not classic.

Wouldn't the truthful answer be "because that's the way i want it."?

Despite the overwhelming evidence that dynamic range pvp is a horrible idea, (why that wasn't obvious from the beginning is troublesome to me), it appears the staff is bull-headed and hell-bent on implementing this horrible non-classic code anyway over everyone's dead bodies.

It's like the staff should google "the law of unintended consequences" and report back to the community in essay form to reclaim community trust in their decisions.

I think this server is going to be awesome! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The dynamic range is a great idea, and once the bugs are all worked out it will be the perfect system for EQ pvp. Macken why don't you like the dynamic range? It's like a 6-50/limited range hybrid.
