Custom Blue Content Everyone can get behind

[Hibren]

Allow most velious helms to the custom crown quest, any SS/Thug helm should be allowed to have helm graphic. Probably Hobarts from Vulak as well.

Seriously, make this happen. In fact just remove the modifiers entirely. No reason for them to exist on a server that ends at Velious.. What's the point of rushing?

/ all hole.. Oh gee what do you know, "Your request was cut short. Too many players".

[loramin]

Rotating ZEMs.

This.

Also an 8th Shawl quest (https://wiki.project1999.com/Coldain_Prayer_Shawl_Quests) (the "tradeskiller epic" is missing a tradeskill) and an 6th (maybe even 7th/8th?) Iksar Shaman Cudgel quest (https://wiki.project1999.com/Shaman_Skull_Quests) (those poor Iksar Shaman with no JBB: they need something!).

To be clear, I'm not saying "copy the live quests", I'm just saying there should be some kind of 8th shawl that requires blacksmithing, and some kind of extension to the Iksar quests, which give them an item that's at least close to the JBB (https://wiki.project1999.com/Jaundiced_Bone_Bracer) in usefulness.

I'd also love it if Wizards and Rangers got some nifty AA/items/spells/something which made them more desirable in groups. If we're never going to get future expansions (which helped make the less-desired classes more desirable), it'd be nice if they at least weren't forever reviled here.

[Grumph]

They nerfed agro clickies - in a breach of truly classic mechanics.

Should give taunt skill a better chance of working, and add some agro generation to slam/bash/kick (55+) to fall in line with original devs classic design intent.

The new TLP server has some interesting ideas. Most of them wouldn't be great for blue but the random loot one might.

https://youtu.be/ym3o2Pcb3lU?t=258


Random Loot Enabled

• The Mischief server is a new experimental server that randomizes loot.
• Rare NPCs will drop loot from other NPCs of a similar level within the same expansion.
• Raids will drop loot from other raid NPCs of a similar level within the same expansion.
• We may add other special case randomization.
• Rare NPCs have a greater chance of spawning


Essentially, you can incentivize groups to form all over Norrath versus the same old same old. So more folks would level up in places like Cazic Thule / permafrost / tower of frozen shadow / paw / & maybe even cities if there was a chance of these mobs would drop something decent.

This is similar to a rotating ZEM mechanic but would be more enticing at the end of the day.

Edit* This could also alleviate some raiding issues where folks always go after specific targets.

[Imago]

Rotating ZEMs.

Would be dope.

Also, some stupidly hard quest for rangers to get the Endless Quiver AA 1/1 to make some of those arrows (Gloomwater, Shardwing, etc) worth it.

[Tethler]

Awww yisss.

Also kerrans. Are the yin or yang to lizardfolk. Not sure which. If there's an erudite only RP guild. And a iksar only RP guild. It'd be only fair for a kerran only guild.

Or a custom server with only those 3 races.

[Poetic]

I think most of us would agree that there is a lack of low level armor quests and maybe even a level 40ish (thinking planes prep) armor. Obviously there would be some work involved in armor balancing, and not being better than existing min/max armor drops for those levels. I think this could be done just by mixing up stats/resistances. You could almost do this without hardly any custom content, you could just make some already existing mobs drops that are currently useless the quest items. Anyways I think something like this could be fun if implemented correctly

[starkind]

If you're not doing the planes in a bloodstained mantle and Dwarven rung mail. I can't help ya.

[Zephys]

Rotating ZEM is obviously a big one, but how about a monster button, even if it's just on red?

[Daetien]

Repopping quest turnin mobs like Dain with custom version that have no loot but allow quest items to be turned in. They depop 12 - 24 hours before the real mob comes into window.

Lower ZEMs and much higher group bonuses. Groups are pretty much non-existent until The Hole and that's only because it's too difficult to solo the zone

[Bardp1999]

Veksar zone would be quite awesome custom content and fit into P99 seamlessly (temple under LOIO level range 40-60)

[Jibartik]

[Twochain]

Veksar + Jaggedpine

Adding AA's with nothing else from Luclin would be really nice, would give people a reason to actually PLAY their best in slot characters out side of raids.

Turning in 50 ST keys to Melalafen resets sleepers

Give rogues and warriors like 10 spells to cast. Could fuckin be anything, instead of pressing q and 2 buttons 1-60 + raids.

Key rings....

Spell crits for wizards/mages with or without AA's. Stacking dots.

Yearly best of the best

Titles for insane solo kills.

New player made quests for various gear, mostly lowbie/Mid level. (Blue/Red only)

Fix pathing in velks/kael

Casters can walk while casting in duels/pvp

PBAOE limit decapped

Heroic earthquakes that spawn 3x hp/attack mobs that drop either warder loot or 3x of what it usually does

[Twochain]

Lower ZEMs and much higher group bonuses. Groups are pretty much non-existent until The Hole and that's only because it's too difficult to solo the zone

IDK About zems, but grouping should ALWAYS be faster than soloing no matter what imo at this stage in blue.

Don't screw with soloing too much though, would turn a lot of people off as that's a big reason TLPs are dumb

[Ennewi]

Is this like the EQ version of Fuck, Marry, Kill?

Firiona Vie, Tunare, Tserrina.

[Tortok]

Live EQ at some time implemented that 6th person is free in regards of exp and people 2-5 give the group an exp bonus.
Would be nice to even the odds vs. soloing imo

[Robeazy]

10th iksar necro helm

[Loadsamoney]

AA's from Luclin and PoP era, such as Double Attack AA for Bards, Crit AA's for all melee, 100% Bind Wound AA's, etc.

Basically would allow characters that have already level capped to keep building in power beyond just getting better gear.

Or have P1999 make a Luclin or PoP era server using Titanium or whatever client Blue runs on.

[Croco]

They spent a ton of time and effort stripping aa's and everything related to them from the code of the server. I highly doubt they'll ever add them back in.

Agree with this, but probably 0% chance.

[Arvan]

Filed under never going to happen

[loramin]

Agree with this, but probably 0% chance.

Actually, while the staff has said very little about what custom content might actually mean, one of the very few things they have thrown out (as a possibility) was adding some AA abilities. However, it would only be a select few of them (not most), and they wouldn't be implemented as a reward for experience (ie. Luclin-style). Instead, you would get your AA by doing some sort of "epic quest" for it.

I thought there was a newer quote about this from either Rogean or Nilbog, but I couldn't find it, so here's an old one from 2013 from Nilbog (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?p=868840#post868840):

They should be introduced with the Custom Content, IMO.
Something better.. is my philosophy.

Slay undead for example was a great, class-specific ... AA? Weak. It could be something like an epic quest with the same outcome. Mindlessly grinding a level 51 equivalent experience bar is not what I have in mind :T


But to be fair, only a couple years before that we had Rogean saying he didn't think P99 would ever get any AAs (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?p=446573#post446573) (in any form, although he did acknowledge the idea of other custom content) ... so hopefully someone else can find their more recent quote on the topic.

And whatever R/N have said, they've never really committed to anything ... and whatever custom content is coming is likely years away ... but the point is, some AA's do at least seem to be on the table (>0% chance).

[Loadsamoney]

If we are going to have AA's, they should be class-specific that would benefit that class the most, ideally. Some examples.

Warrior: Bind Wound 100% and Instant Kill enemies under 10% health
Monk: Critical Hits, Packrat
Bard: Harmonious Strikes (Double Attack) and Brusco's Boastful Bellow (18 second damage skill, like Bash with a longer cooldown)
Paladin: Triple Attack with two-handers, Slay Undead, Improved Lay on Hands (Complete Heal and cooldown timer reduced to 36 minutes)

Things like that.

[Loadsamoney]

What about Barbarian Ranger? Not only would it make for an excellent stat spread for a Ranger, but they'd also get Slam to interrupt casters, and it fits from a lore perspective, considering that Barbarians are big nature boys.

[Kruel]

WHY NOT DO FABLED ZONES? ONE MONTH TAKE LGUK AND MAKE IT DROP FABLED ITEMS AND MAKE IT SUPER TOUGH. THIS WOULD REQUIRE LITTLE WORK TO MAKE AND WOULD BE SUPER FUN. HECK TAKE BLACK BURROW AND MAKE IT A LVL 60 ZONE AND SUPER TOUGH FOR A MONTH.

[zati]

Most exp zones are a ghost town and need players. Main toons are all stuck at 60 at this point and have no reason to rewind back to other underpopulated zones. The only option is to create an alt army.. Which in itself is not much incentive other than to "park" more toons at raid zones.

Why not just create an NPC that allows you to reset a lvl 60 character to lvl 1; but they are granted a reward. It could be an ability point, an item,a spell, +25 max hp(limited amount), or title...whatever.. That way you get to go thru all the content again except you are twinked and have a goal to reset back down to lvl 1 for more rewards...? Technically a grind but not in "1 zone".

This would reduce amount of raiding toons living in ToV/Kael etc.. and let those who are BiS or just plain bored of 60 to branch out and help(the whole point) newer players to socialize and exp in zones that are always empty.

[jostling]

I'd like to see more GM events. Maybe repop warders in ST every 2 years. Other than that, keep it classic as possible.

The problem with GM events and the P99 community is any time there's a GM event it's followed-up with a week long thread of people bitching about any and all aspects of said event like spoiled little children.

[Naerron]

A quest to make naggy and vox make another baby. Then the ending is a ring war style server event where you end up having to jail the new crystalline dragon and the warders reappear.

The new dragon, imo, should be named Lord Nagafrym

Could even make an opposing faction that would rather kill the dragon outright and if you triggered the quest event from that faction, instead of jailing it, you try to kill the new dragon, which would have the same difficulty as kerafrym. Possibly use quarm loot table =)

Clarification:

Guild Wars for Free Raid Targets.

You could even move every tagged character (for free) to RED for a specific window to compete to take down as many Raid targets as possible, starting with an earthquake and then competing against the current Red community for targets (that they aren't killing anyways).

Would be like a P99 gameshow that everyone gets onboard every once in a while. "Guess who's looking at FREE RAID TARGETS THIS MONTH?!?!?!"

*Red Community* "Lets band together and stop them!"

I'd reinstall just to watch, much less play around while it's happening

Try TAKP. It's a very good server with a non-toxic community. Unless you have religious objections to boxing, it's a good place to experience Luclin, and PoP soon.

P99 is not going to release luclin please go to all of the other servers for non classic everquest content.

[Ooloo]

It would be cool just to get some of the post-velious revamped classic zones and content, like revamped CT, the last coldain shawl, stonebrunt mountains etc..

[Ooloo]

Er, Jaggedpine. Can't remember if stonebrunt is a standard velious era zone or not

[Worry]

Jaggedpine and Chardok won't hurt. I doubt they'll ever add anything though, the main guys behind this project hate Luclin.

It is what it is.

[Ooloo]

Yeah but it would be "custom content" in the sense that it is content that was released after velious, but is geographically tied to the classic map. Just without luclin. Like the CT revamp technically occured during luclin but has basically nothing to do with luclin lore.

It's a marriage of custom content and the intent of p99. They don't have to come up with any actual new quests or lore, and the content would be set within the existing geography of the game.

[Grumph]

Should add a small catalog of items with 110 hit points for every slot.

Just enough to redefine BiS. Without actually adding much power creep.

Would be hilarious :-)

[Allishia]

Retro revamp vulak earring of insanity to 100 HP please

[Thomacles]

Please, I'm begging. Even if nothing else:

Keyrings
Raid Box/Tool
Guild Box/Tool
Shared Bank slots

None of this is anti-classic, none of this will throw off the balance of the game, but it would sure go a long way for simple QoL features.
