I kinda hope he surprises everyone and we need a Trilogy client to access P99 Velious.

No scroll wheel to 3rd person
No DoT DMG
No Multi-Hotbutton box
No Mana value in Inventory
No Cycle NPC hotkeys
No multiple chatboxes

It would be so glorious to see who can ACTUALLY play classic EQ. And who likes to parade around with their non-classic features.

Would be so baller.

All those restrictions were part of classic EQ 1999. It's part of what made the game tedious and difficult.

CCing mobs is a lot more difficult without a Cycle NPC hotkey.

Quickly viewing around a wall to pacify a room and break it is made a lot more tedious when you have to cycle through F9 views and pan around to get targets.

Keeping track of who enters the zone on a PvP server is a lot more tedious if you can't devote an entire chat box to /who

The game has a different dynamic when all of those things are implemented. A lot of people who were previously extremely efficient and fast at playing their class, would be encumbered by some of the changes and be unable to perform them with the same level of accuracy and speed they can currently. Which leads to a more classic environment overall.

The 2nd server will be the true p99 release server. Classic timeline, all the crap worked out.

There is a lot of posts in Technical Discussion as is. If they required people to use an even older client it would be a shit storm in that section.

I wish they allowed use of the newest client that is better optimized for the newer OS's.

I would love the 10th ring war to not have mobs falling through the floor and a little bit of tuning regarding AE Fear durations. Beyond that, Velious feels rather good. The items are all in upgraded version of course... But that's fine I guess.

There you have it a guide and developer both posted no. Velious will be pushed back 6 months to give EQ2 progressive server an uncontested launch. Look at it this way how much did you like reading about the Ragefire launch if you weren't playing on it?

And see that where you dun f-d up that's classic for the first 6 months or so the 10th ring war was always buggy. There were times the giants wouldn't even spawn or the GMs had to despawn the zone because it bugged out.

VP loot was all trade able on launch, they patched it all to no drop after a few weeks of VP being conquerored... Except the Druid Robe, which to this day is still tradeable.

Velious most raid bosses had gear upgrades. Even Vindi's BP had regen and more AC/HP/Resists thrown on it.

The selection would indicate that you believe former U.S. President George W. Bush was responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center on 2001.09.11. It is a polling meme derived from a conspiracy theory spawned of the shared brain cell of American left wing ideologues.

Pity the man who shackles his mind to the alter of ideology in dutiful servitude to the mind from whence it sprang.



On topic, if the Velious release date were to be pushed back once again, would we not have been informed by now? How much notice did we receive last round? I was away, so I missed the initial announcement ^^

Daldaen

Depends on their duration and when they were fixed.

For example they aren't opting to recreate bugs like Yelinak being drownable, so if it's something that gives players an enormous advantage or something that breaks everything or something that gets removed quickly, they tend to opt against implementing it.

Elaborate on some of these bugs and we can likely get a few in if they have evidence.

If people were going to come back for Velious after being banned, then they would have started a lot sooner so they'd actually have a character back at 60.

There will be a flood of non-banned people who have quit/taken breaks until Velious though.

Hardly a stupid poll considering the previous hype for prior expacs and the fact that Velious has been delayed before and now it's 10 days to go with 0 hype. If this was my box and people kept asking is it coming out, I'd probably take the five seconds to type the response "Yes, everything is on schedule it's going to be great."

One high-end guild you haven't mentioned seems to be putting forth extra-special effort to build a large roster. This guild, which I won't name so as to protect its dignity, seems to be attempting to recruit pretty much everyone on the server who's high level and not already in a powerhouse guild. I've received three separate offers from them just this week and I'm not even a key raiding class. Some Cleric friends report getting solicited daily.

I think everyone knows who you are talking about. They have messaged every one of our 55+ rogue/cleric/wizard apps for the last 3 weeks. No way for them to pry away a core member after Chest propaganda takes hold though.

You strike me as someone that wants og classic be it good or bad. Even stuff that perhaps the original designers didn't necessarily want (the vision etc) but had to implement because of the limitations of the time.

Why should bugs be any different in that quest.

Daldaen
07-21-2015, 04:28 PM
I have no idea to what bugs you are referring. To my knowledge, that quest was rather polished compared to other quests of the era, especially for how intricate those scripts were.

If you have evidence about some temporary bugs they may implement them if you can prove it isn't just a poster being dumb.

I do this for fun. Sometimes fun wins on what I work on next.

I am silly that way.

I have proposed that one of the things after velious, is to add AAs to get features re-enabled. Example. 3 AAs get compass enabled on all chars on account. 6 AAs enables all chars on account to have max sense heading skill. 9 AAs enables maps on all chars on that account. Use AAs to enable certain quality of life features. Things we have disabled in the client to have that "classic" experience. I hope to get rid of more things like that before the recycled server launches.

These are the kind of things we discuss for a potential future beyond velious.

Nah, they're not robots. Proof: If they were robots they wouldn't be able to interbreed with the cactuses in OT. And therein lies the answer to Port's question. The reason there is no Half-elf meat is that there is no Half-elf meat. Half-elfs are sentient vegetables dressed up to look like meatsacks so that they can roam freely while gathering intel for the eventual military invasion and takeover.

After conquering Norrath, our space-vegetable soon-to-be overlords will move on to Texas gathering recruits without need for direct mind-control as the Texans will have been mesmerized by Obama's dancing armored columns of distraction. The next step will be to proclaim Cucumbers supreme overlord and crush any feeble resistance on the west coast and/or new england by the simple expedient of declaring a 50-cent bounty on vegan scalps with no bag limits and a year-round open season.

Word to the wise: Use beef fat for eyeliner and keep a few slices of bacon in your pocket so that you're ready to prove your carnivorous bona fides at any time.

I kinda hope he surprises everyone and we need a Trilogy client to access P99 Velious.

No scroll wheel to 3rd person
No DoT DMG
No Multi-Hotbutton box
No Mana value in Inventory
No Cycle NPC hotkeys
No multiple chatboxes

It would be so glorious to see who can ACTUALLY play classic EQ. And who likes to parade around with their non-classic features.

Would be so baller.

I hope this happens so I am never even tempted to play here again.

AAs for special meats seems like a logical next step...
And cheese.

it takes a certain kind of nerd to care about others interface bullshit. how deep does the classic circle jerk go..... am i the only person who doesn't give a shit how others choose to play their 20 year old game on an emulated 1999 server? go ahead and set all those restrictions for yourself if you want.

Nah, classic EQ is about the content for me, not the UI. If anything the game would be improved with some modern MMO elements like a proper 3rd person camera.

The content is made a ton easier by the UI not being archaic. An enchanter with Cycle Target hotkey alone would dance circles around a classic enchanter who could only /target or click on the mobs they want to CC.

To emulate the same level of difficulty that classic provided, many changes would be necessary.

I have proposed that one of the things after velious, is to add AAs to get features re-enabled. Example. 3 AAs get compass enabled on all chars on account. 6 AAs enables all chars on account to have max sense heading skill. 9 AAs enables maps on all chars on that account. Use AAs to enable certain quality of life features. Things we have disabled in the client to have that "classic" experience. I hope to get rid of more things like that before the recycled server launches.

would love AAs to unlock saved spell sets

omg yes plz! I think the idea of AAs unlocking QoL features is a great idea.
