and actual classic server

[drelk001]

So the client that is used the TAKproject for PC is just like classic, just with the PoP and down zones, and if you play on PC you even have to use the oldUI (stone UI).... so if at all possible (if a DEV would PM me and tell me how it would be possible) I will help.... just block off iksar, vahshir and beastlords and block off all non classic zones, maybe we can actually have a classic server

just and idea... though...

[Argh]

NOW THATS AND IDEA

[drelk001]

NOW THATS AND IDEA

lol an*

[Halius]

Technically you don't have to use the old UI, but it is available and awesome. I was wondering the same thing when I got on TAK project. How hard would it be to get that information over here to P99 so we can use the truly classic UI?

[drelk001]

I also forgot about the skeleton models, they are luclin.. but rogean is the closest mortal to jesus on earth... I am sure he could figure it out :P

[falendar]

god that would be terrible

[Milton]

try livejournal

[drelk001]

god that would be terrible

no it actually wouldnt, I feel like there would be a lot of people that would like this

[coki]

mission statement of the server! to be as close to classic EQ as possible! so if its possible lets do it!

[Tasslehofp99]

There are already people on p99 using the classic UI, I thought?

[Swish]

just block off iksar

whoa there, hold on chief :p

[Jaleth]

whoa there, hold on chief :p

And Monks!!!

A version of the classic UI. It isn't actually fully functional yet and each individual piece of the UI can still be moved around so it's not really classic.

[Evia]

Im all about classic. I just am really not a fan of this "forced to use outdated shit" aspect of classic. Give people the option, sure. Why force it on them though if it's not causing any advantage in game play?

[drelk001]

okay, maybe not block off iksar, i was thinking an actual classic server with the level 50 cap... but if we did velious that would work.... people are in fact using a remake of the classic UI but it isnt 100% like the old version... but what I am really thinking of is the sky, old character creation/selection screen.
What if when Velious released we got a classic locked server? then expansions came out with time and stuff

enhanced UIs do give an advantage in game.

/agree maybe it gives convenience?

yes, i get that some ui enhancements might be categorized as merely aesthetic without making anything new possible or anything previously possible easier to do.

much of the ui enhancement does not end at mere aesthetic preference.

[pharmakos]

classic stone UI only supported 6 hotkeys :D

major advantage being able to have four 10slot hotbars up with custom UIs

[Daldaen]

Without that convenience you are more likely to make a mistake. Mistakes lead to more difficult kills.

Example - Without having 2-4 Hotbar pages with 10 hotkeys each and a Combat Ability Page with 8 discs, you should classicly only have a single hotbar page with 10 hotkeys.

People using more than 10 hotkeys would need to use a different page, in swapping pages you may be delayed or use the wrong hotkey at time and that mistake can cause big delays or kill you if you break an invis when you were instead trying to track etc.

And there is no way in hell you can argue the un-classic ability to bind keys to the Cycle NPC and Cycle PC function isnt a power gain. This allows for the most unclassic of CCing on Enchanters/Bards.

[curtischoy]

If it was mandatory I would probably never play again. But if you could choose and you want it, go ahead.

[Kaleadar]

Bust out the 14 inch CRT... time for some classic!

but if everyone is using the 6hotkeybar than it would be fair.

At least 50% of the server would no longer know how to play the game with real classic UI.

All their claims of their superior skill/EQ knowledge is half full of crap because non classic UI is one the key reasons they can claim the above.

[pharmakos]

there are about four enchanters playing P99 right now that could handle CC with the classic UI.

true

[drelk001]

extra challenge, but with the PoP client you could use the velious UI, we all know the DEVs would make it where you had to use the ClassicUI until Velious

thinking about it, there are two problems, luclin model skeletons and no UI mirror on the persona screen

[drelk001]

hmm.... could we get any DEV love?

You mean I can modify my UI to chant better? Please explain ^^

[drelk001]

he means, that the new UI has more hotkeys on the bar and you can get more hotbars, th classi UI looked like thishttp://www.tentonhammer.com/image/view/65353
and you were only allowed 6 hot keys, no other hotbars and stuff like that.

[maskedmelon]

Hmmm not following it. I used that UI, but aside from tunnel vision, I don't see how the current UI helps CC any better. All me keys are setup as they were in classic :/

okay, well I have no clue what he is talking about then. thats good, my aunt used to be the best chanter I met :P was the top chanter on the fennin ro server back in '99-'03

do you use the cycle nearest NPCs button for targeting when CCing?

[drelk001]

okay, so there is a lot that is different but its the closest thing that we have to classic

[drelk001]

Has any DEVs looked into this?
