All magic p99 ever had will forever be erased hereafter the monumental 7/14/17 patch.

It's done folks, game over.

I thought it was highly unusual to see Rogean actually popping in and chatting with us on the forums, he never forumquests... Guess that was his way of saying "goodbye."

It's been real ya'll.

this a chant for managing you chakras?

[skarlorn]

it's a bastardized tibetan buddhist mantra that invokes the presence of boddhisatvas (rogean, haynar, nilbog, etc are all bodhisattvas of of p99).

normally buddhists pray for compassion or other stuff, but here we should all be praying 4 the patch.

We can make this a reality.

The servers are currently down for the last patch yowl. The expected uptime is between 5 and 6 PM EST, but I reserve the right to extend this if necessary.

"Nilbog: Modified faction 'TheDead': Human Priests of Innoruuk will no longer be KOS to TheDead, preventing them from completing their Symbol quests. Thanks to Aalderon for this information."

***Finally my human cleric of Innoruuk can walk around Neriak properly like the human overlord he is.

[Tecmos Deception]

If only I had been camped out somewhere useful. I know where a few decaying skeletons spawn. I would have had a sure chance at a cracked staff as soon as the server came back up!

[Lhancelot]

They sure gimped the shit out of many "cash" camps. RIP Seafuries, Ice giants... rofl.

Curious to see how severe the jewelry drop rate nerf is for seafuries.

This is a really exciting patch note for me for a reason the forums will see someday soon.

[Ranndom]

Heres to hoping its on tstaff levels

[Cecily]

Should have happened a long time ago. Don't think there was any evidence to support the P99 drop rates.

[Baler]

I believe the sea fury change was just to bring them in line with other mobs that drop those particular gems/vendor trash. Yes it's a nerf to sea fury drops per hour,. but it's more classic and should lighten the obnoxiousness that is p99 sea furies.

[Cecily]

I've only seen data to suggest that it was a nerf to drops per minute.

patch made teija have another meltdown i guess

First thank you developers for investing time into making this a great server, We all want this to be as close to a replication of the game we had in our teenage years.I agree that the changes made today are classic but with that being said I must bring up the clear bias(?) when it comes to making certain classic changes to this server.

For example,
If bound in certain velious dungeons, the bind location will be updated to ecommons, when logging in to character select.

Why make this change(along with the previous leashing change) that clearly will affect the raid scene and how pulls are done while ignoring this thread for 2 Years that shows clear evidence that more safe spots should be available to help guilds not stack up on top of each other.http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=205328.

Example 2,
Fixed an issue where the lazy aggro changes caused mobs that call for help (like Tunare) to not function correctly.
Tunare no longer displays weapons.

Why make this change making Tunare's unclassic loot table completely hidden now while obviously ignoring this thread for over a Year that would make the Tunare encounter classic and worth doing. http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231065


Sorry I don't believe you when you say this like you are not aware of the 1 year old thread in your forum space with clear evidence for change. Anyway I understand that Higher-ups sometimes shut down classic mechanics,loot table changes ect but there is no reason to let these threads go years without a single post saying "Sorry bro we won't do that" or "Sorry we can not code that in".

Keep up the classic work boys and thanks again! :)

[Tankdan]

This is the end.

[NachtMystium]

Every post pokesan makes is null of any thought and is made purely for reaction

[Pokesan]

Every post pokesan makes is null of any thought and is made purely for reaction

i wouldn't say that. but i am only hassling teija so i can jump ladders ;)

[Papa]

Not a meltdown at all, I appreciate all the hard work the dev team does but I am not afraid to point out obvious flaws and ways we can make this server more classic. Do you disagree with something I said? I feel most people can relate to it. Come on up your forumquest game bro.

all youre doing is asking why they are bothering to do it finally instead of just saying "thanks for getting around to it"

p obv because the status quo changing is bad for the top guilds :D
