Why the hell would you level up on light blue mobs, anyway? That's asinine.

I was wondering the same thing. Very inefficient use of time to begin with. But hey, if that's how he plays, then that's how he plays.

I got more exp/hour chain killing LB than DB cause they die so much easier. But that's fine. I'm not here to argue what the best way to lvl is.

What concerns me most about this is that most if not all of the people posting here that are in favor of this change already have lvl 60 characters or close to 60. So you got to enjoy the use of this feature and never bitched about it while leveling to 60. Now that you're at the top of the leveling curve you're all about making it more difficult for anyone else to catch up.

THIS, is classic. Problem for you Nirgon is how many of these white knights actually donate money to your little project here on a regular basis. Those of us who played this back in 1999 and weren't still waiting for pubic hair to grow like your current fan base was, make the $100 donations because WE CAN. You think by pissing us off you're going to continue receiving these kinds of donations?

Just a heads up:

My highest level character is 37. I am in favor of the change, and *any* change that brings the game back to true classic.

As someone who's played Everquest for a long, long time, I always hit "c". It was burned into muscle memory back in the day, and has been a permanent fixture of my play-style for ...well, 15 years.

Stop making (s)weeping generalizations about who is, and who isn't in favor of the change.

We play here to get the classic experience (or as close to it as we possibly can). If tomorrow they ripped out item links? That would be great. If the day after that they made us stare at the book to meditate? That would be fantastic. If the day after that they made every human in the game night-blind? That would be terrific.

This game is a difficult, unforgiving nightmare, and that's why we love it. As soon as the developers on live started listening to their player-base, the game went soft, and look what that got us: Cats on the moon, instant teleportation across the world, and finally free max aa'ed characters for all!

I for one, sir, think you should stop crying and start conning mobs.

So in other words, what you're trying to say is:

"I've never donated, but now I'm not going to donate because you're not giving me what I want on a free server!"


You're the reason this game was made retarded on live with Luclin and PoK.

acct registered in 2010 and your highest lv is a 35, you sound like exactly the kind of person they should be trying to appeal to

This sounds like exactly the kind of thinking that turned eq into crap "lets make changes to attract those not currently playing, rather thatn the current player base"

In fact it is rather strange that as I read over the thread I see coutnless people who registered 2-4 years ago with max lvl chars under 40 all shouting in that they think it's the right move.

Speed is disgusting. The longer it takes to level the better, imo.

telling classic vets that the con changes make no sense or that targeting rings are better is like telling someone their baby is ugly (even if it is).
Well, if the baby has original EQ models and textures, it is ugly... and needs to be said. :D

Ultimately it depends on what you consider a part of the classic EQ experience. While I like some features that make the game challenging and realistic in a way(such as the absence of maps and night blindness of humans), I don't like the old UI and will be extremely annoyed if anybody forced it on me. And I like to solo light blues, partly because they are much better for an untwinked druid to solo. I guess it's always a fine line between making a game challenging and making it annoying - and the line depends too much on the people involved.

As for me, as long as I am not supposed to run instances and raids(and am allowed to travel in small groups) I am not complaining.

Having level 60 chars is not a reason or an excuse to have someone cater a server to them. That is just asinine. You think that being level 60 entitles you to more of an option on a free server? Hell if anything, if you are not raiding all the time then you are most likely farming and taking away spawns from people trying to have fun grouping and selling things over and over again bringing the economy down.
I don't mind finding deals in EC but it doesn't entitle you to be here more than anyone else. I personally do not get the "shit has be classic with classic obtrusive UI".
Its the 21st century and hardware just keeps getting better everyday. Why they hell would want to make my game look any worse than it is by being stuck in a 400 resolution viewable screen? Only a very small people opt to have this option, most of the rest of us are playing in resolutions up to 1080p with multiple chat windows so we can clean up spam.
I honestly do not remember what the target window showed back in '99, it was back in '99. I have some old screenshot laying around on my computer and I would have to go back and look at them. I do know all my windows in those screenshots have an opacity to them so I was not stuck in the 400x. Mostly likely learned very early on about the F10 feature.
The hitting C argument doesn't work for me either. One of the first things I do in "ANY" game that gives me the ability to alter key bindings is to do so. My C key is bound for one of the many slots on my hotbar just like Q,E,R,F,Z,X are.
Q slot 1
E slot 2
R slot 4
F slot 5
Z autorun
X slot 6
C slot 7
I did this back in "classic" days as well. I am a FPS foremost and binding keys in a game with first or third person view will always be rebound to shit that is useful instead of what the game normally has be doing.

How is that a flawed argument?

Question for you super smart "classic" lovers. Would EQ have been a better game if there was no health bar on the target window and you had to hit X every time you wanted to see what % of health your target had left in the chat box? How about Z to see your own health % and get rid of the player health bar? Sounds classic as fuck to me. Sure would've made the game a lot "harder" thus "better" right guys? Devs plz implement.

Hitting x for health is a lot different. The con system is supposed to simulate you looking at something and estimating its power. Much like you don't walk into a room and instantly know everyones ages, but if you consider them for a bit you can estimate, the con system was supposed to assist you with an enemies power.

It wasn't supposed to be all WoW style flashy bright instant knowledge. I think the reason a lot of people play P1999 is because we reject the wowification of games.

Its fucking boring.

I personally disagree. The CON system was used tell me whether or not it was on your side or not. Yes the color was helpful but knowing whether or not you could safely get through the area was the best indicator for me.

I never did like the Luclin graphics, I even tried them out once here and quickly went back to original. For one 2hb weapons were not swinging like 2hb. The animations were all messed up for stuff like that. When a char ran, it felt like they were flopping their feet everywhere. Plus, vendors in NPC only clothes and guards were not working for me. They were stuck in permanent jesus mode.

This is all moot. Like it, don't like it, doesn't matter. Personally, I don't like it, but it's done and there is exactly 0 percent chance that complaining will change anything. The devs made it clear what the goal of p1999 is. They will do what they want to achieve it. If you don't like it, then ultimately you have to either go elsewhere or be quiet. But, if you just feel like you need to argue on the internets, feel free.

I think P99 should automatically close if you have anything faster than 56k internet. That would be classic as fuck dawg. I'll go buy a 56k modem right now so I can classic my ass off. It blows my mind how much people miss the point of what made classic EQ so great. Hint: It wasn't the UI or whether or not con color showed on your target window or graphic fidelity or internet speed or compasses. Seriously you guys understand that right?

Buncha idiots...

But I had a cable modem in 1997. I'm sure it would be slower than shit compared to what I have now (I don't even remember the speed) but it was a fuckton faster than 56k.

I can't argue that EQ would have still been an amazing game had a couple relatively meaningless features been changed? I'm pretty sure I can and I'm pretty sure I did. How is that a flawed argument?

Question for you super smart "classic" lovers. Would EQ have been a better game if there was no health bar on the target window and you had to hit X every time you wanted to see what % of health your target had left in the chat box? How about Z to see your own health % and get rid of the player health bar? Sounds classic as fuck to me. Sure would've made the game a lot "harder" thus "better" right guys? Devs plz implement.

You have become better at grasping at straws (23)

Care to explain why? Seems like 100% rose colored glasses talk to me. If EQ launched with con color on target window and a compass and light blue cons would that have instantly made it a bad game? I think you're being dumb. Those things aren't what made EQ great. Prove me wrong?

Is P99 a "bad game" after this last patch?

Being completely immune to dragon aoe's here with not classic resist values will make the game better?

That Lady Nev spin better land like it was born to land. Fudge whatever numbers you want.

Its done. Completely ruined. Its a sinking ship with the majority of its players venting in ooc about the catastrophe that the devs have brought upon the server. If only they would see the error of their ways this could be reversed. Sadly they are on a white knight crusade to bring unwanted and unwarranted changes that make the game nearly unplayable. Let us have a moment of silence for our fallen server brothers and sisters.

The color con on the target should remain, but there was "lt blue" con before Velious. That should really be changed back.

Light blue was not added to EQ until a month before Luclin released.

We have changed the way the /consider command works and expanded the level range at which players are able to gain experience. We have added a 'light blue' area between green and blue. NPCs that used to /consider green but gave experience will now /consider light blue, as well as NPCs of slightly lower level than those greens. You will always get experience for something that is light blue. You will not receive experience for greens. At the same time, by including lower level NPCs in the light blue /consider, we have increased the range of lower level NPCs that will grant experience. This will be most noticeable for characters of higher level.

I want to make a joke about the server population counts being hidden being a day that will live in infamy, but I think it might still be too soon.

I just started playing on this server a few weeks ago, and I always thought it was odd that light blue cons were even there as I did not remember them from the classic era. Maybe it's just because I've recently started playing but I don't mind this change

what i find funny is that even when all these crybabys leave, the server will still remain. people think they are "sticking it to the man" by boycotting the server, but the truth is that it will probably save them some money by having less people using server resources.

Is hitting the "C" key really all that tedious?

Just be glad you all have your new fancy UIs with percentages and multiple hotbars and medding without being blind.

One day, we will get cleansed of these horrible things that make players think they are better than classic. And all will be right in the world. Praise classic UI.

Ahh yes. The Med book, can we do that next?
Can't argue classic or not, but maybe a bad thing that was CLASSIC....
A vote would be nice, but not classic;()
