What were some of the biggest nerfs in EQ history? Any classes hit especially hard? Trying to research for a fun video. Any help is appreciated. I will try to give credit to those who help.

p99 history or eq history?

Necro (maybe mage too but idk cant remember, only played necro on live) pets back on live classic were absolute fucking monsters if you handed them 2 fine steel daggers it lowered their delay but not their damage so they would quad insanely fast for big dmg.

despite the epic pet nerf they are still pretty overpowered, wouldn't call that one of the biggest nerfs

As far as p99 history goes the charm nerf has to be one of if not the biggest. On p99 during the first 6 months or so after launch charm had a set duration. Enchanters and necros were literally solo farming multiple camps with ease with timers set for their charm breaks. It was not uncommon to zone into lguk do a cc and see a solo chanter or necro claiming frenzy, am, and lord as one camp and holding down with ease at lvl 50 in scraps for gear corpsing their lore drops and continuing to hold the camp for hours sometimes days at time when fbss was sellin for 15-20k a pop, SSoY - 10-15k a pop, SMR - 10k etc (I am guilty of this). I made something like 100k in ~24 hours at one point which was a ridiculous amount at that particular time.

Another one of the biggest nerfs in p99 history was the tumpy tonic quest, it wasnt too crazy but it was still pretty effective way to get exp at high lvl on a char that couldnt solo, if memory serves some high lvls were using it to finish off the upper 40's to get to 50 lvl cap at the time without having to fight a single mob. It was kinda like how splitpaw scrolls are now but imagine they are buyable off a vendor for dirt cheap, arent lore, and you could fill your inventory up and just go spam turn ins till you leveled up.

Kithicor Forest getting filled with high level undead at night for hate release and pathing brownie scouts added to Lesser Fay around Temple of Sol Ro era killed those zones for low levels.

Charm being removed from necromancer and shaman early on.

AC revamp SoL/PoP era hit a lot of high ac monk builds badly.

Melee damage revamp changed all melee damage to max hit of 2dmg+damage bonus so melee no longer did such awesome max hits.

Yeah, you should clarify whether you mean EQ history or P99 history.

EQ history: removing manastone, COS, Holgresh Elder Beads, and other Legacy items; idk what else

P99 history: clicky nerfs (increased recharge cost, added cast times), magi p'tasa respawn reduced, fucking with gamma to achieve night blindness at the cost of blinding light when there are many players, and what this guy said.

Bards being limited to 25 mobs while swarming AND also leashing being implemented which makes swarm kiting (and just general pulling) more tedious.

Not being able to give your pets commands while you are casting a spell (this was nerfed a couple years ago along with not being able to see dot damage).

Having your dot damage be reduced if a mob is moving

Yeah talking EQ live history…enchanter charm got nerfed to where charming it debuffed the mob significantly

And at one point pet focus + pet mitigation was so bonkers that one single pet focus earring made pets better tanks than all but the best raid geared players and that lasted a while. It was how I was able to do all the game’s group content with a mage/nec duo that didn’t even need to slow, mage pet just tanked all adds at once while the mage threw out mini-pets (gargoyles) to offtank if I got like more than 2 adds

That lasted a while but eventually got nerfed a few expac’s ago

I remember supposedly when pvp leaderboards were around when I was playing on SZ Wizards would just run up and manaburn one shot someone and then go hide in a corner somewhere until it came back and repeat. I think necros had a version called lifeburn too and did a similar thing

On p99 Mages have been hit especially hard. Epic near impossible to get then they nerfed the damage on the epic. Then they nerfed the melee damage on the lvl 57, 58, 59, 60 mage pets. They have also messed with aggro on pets where chain casting pets will not instantly rip aggro from the mage if they haven't touched the mob. Pet window changes/gone for a time. Recharge changes to root nets really hurt mage solo ability as well. I am sure I am missing some other changes that screwed mages since I started on P99.

Jimjam
02-07-2022, 08:19 PM
If you want to complain about mage pets, don’t forget how the pet will sometimes hold aggro until another player walks into range and then the mob will bee line to the pet owner. It wasn’t always like that, was it? Certainly not on live?

They also removed the agro clear from CoTH, unless you are a zillion miles away.

@jimjam no it was never like that before

P99 devs butt-fucked mages with a lead pipe rolled in sandpaper.

Bard AE mob cap limit.

I got this nerfed because I used MQ2 cheats to warp to every mob in the zone and aggro them then run underwater with a /circle command to run in a perfect circle while automatically switching instruments and songs. It basically looked like the entire zone was broken because no mobs existed and no one knew I was in the corner of the zone underwater. Leveled Bard accounts 1-60 in a couple days fully automated and sold them.

Some cheat website paid me to write an article on it and the exact day the article came out it was posted on the SOE forums and nerfed the next day. Makes me proud.

On live I was a necro, so the biggest nerf I recall was the pet weapons nerf. I also recall a perception that necros got nerfed a lot, but I can't recall other specific examples.

My understanding is that enchanters had lots of early nerfs, . Apparently lull spells originally did not have a chance to aggro the monster, and could be spammed ad nauseum to trivialize almost any encounter. I'm also told that Whirl 'til You Hurl (lvl 16 vanilla spell) was an absurdly strong stun spell and was abused to power level against helpless targets.

I also heard somewhere that shamans had charm in early days? Or maybe that was in the beta, but not early Live.

Trexller
02-07-2022, 10:17 PM
i always wondered why whirl 'til you hurl existed at all, seemed out of place and useless when you had other stuns available.

so i guess it had another function, until they buffed mez or charm which then made the ench godlike OP, other nerfs were necessary.

Bardp1999
02-08-2022, 12:00 AM
The biggest nerf on P99 I can remember is sneak pulling by monks (IMO). It used to be you could FD, sneak, pop up, and tag a mob in the back and that is the only mob that would come (raid bosses included). It made pulling very trivial for Monks. Was a lot of pissed off people when they removed sneak pulling

oldschoolguy
02-08-2022, 01:56 AM
Many enchanter spells nerfed to the ground. Lull gets critical resists, stuns break early…

Dots do half DMg if shit walks toward you and not rooted or feared.

Jboots becoming a quest.

Circlet of shadows cast time

Manastone

Jimjam
02-08-2022, 03:33 AM
Oh speaking of whirl till you hurl, was that when player cast stuns got capped at ~4 seconds duration?

Wizards have a whole bunch of stuns that ‘should’ last for ages (and do if cast by an npc) but don’t so are of rather limited use.

Shamans still have Charm (animal only though) at lower levels even on p99. I remember charming Elephants to farm treants in South Karana with my shaman. Good times...

You can get a rather nice pet that's really better than the lvl34 doggo

Too bad we don't get that option later on, I'd love to be able to charm stuff & farm in WW like my druid buddies

biggest nerf in p99 history is Ivandyr's Hoop. they totally broke HT for necros across the board. This could have been a simple trick, change the hoops cast time or something. but no, they bend necros over the knee and totally screwed up their ht.

Having your dot damage be reduced if a mob is moving

You still can, macros & keys won't work but you just have to type your pet command :

start casting Ignite Bones on a fleeing mob
/pet back off
/pet follow
cycle through targets, change your target with whatever key you've set up (F8, Tab, etc.)
pet attack

Since you can recall previously typed commands (is it Ctrl or Shift + Up/ Down Arrow, I can't remember atm), you can give your pet a couple commands while your spell's on the way :)

You say you don’t no life forum posting, but you’ve said you admittedly don’t even play on P99 anymore.

If you don’t play on the server yet you somehow have nothing going on in your life that you can’t get away from the forums and keep coming back here to post, then it sounds like you’re the one with no life

You might even call that a nerf, in a way.

There's supposed to be several unique skies in this era. The classic world clouds, the Nro\Oasis\Sro desert sky that was mostly devoid of clouds except for a couple tiny ones, and the Kunark\Velious clouds which were similar to the classic ones but clearly a uniquely drawn graphic of their own.

It was the best following the spell effect blast pattern from under Kelethin for setting up your follow up nuke.

But line of sight for DD (non bolt) spells will never be in effect here, unless I'm an idiot and somehow it is in effect.

The best was sniper fire bolt launching across clear line of sight big zones so a bolt spell comes outa the fog to blast you when the guy is way way far away. But then the pet roots him there and you can keep laying down sniper fire from a billion miles away.

Fixing deleveling on Rallos Zek so skills are capped at your level.

Then adding item levels I think with Luclin.

It was 2 levels higher than your level for de leveled skills.

I was so confused when fighting players that hit for max every-single-damn-time and never ever missed, at level 10 until I figured out what was going on.

Those murder machines sure had a great time.

When they fixed the pathing in the Ass/Sup room so you couldn't hide behind the barrels and never get hit.

There was a group of three deleveled trolls that would wipe out Nektulos and the Commons back then (Moe, Larry and Curly). Deleveled from 50 with high regen, high skills, endgame gear for the time etc. Totally unkillable even when ganged up on.

Was fun lol.

Necros.

Their classic OPness was legend, esp with actual charm, fine steel dagger pets and perma FD pet farming.

If you want to complain about mage pets, don’t forget how the pet will sometimes hold aggro until another player walks into range and then the mob will bee line to the pet owner. It wasn’t always like that, was it? Certainly not on live?

Was changed to current after or some say because legacy of steel et al killed aow and pets charmed help tanking

I guess that is a matter of perspective. I'm not the one with 3,000 posts over the last few years and multiple level 60s on an emulated unclassic server. I'm the guy who made thousands of dollars a day and got Bards nerfed while developing skills that keep me too busy to no life forum posting or in game.

Lol your the guy that's been wasting months to fix channeling only to get laughed at by staff, who you kidding?

not sifting through 12 pages but not being able to charm vendors fucking sucked as a nerf.

- nerfed enchanter stuns making ranged stuns useless. (whirl till you hurt, etc...)
- lull nerf adding critical resist factor

McQaid was new to making games like this, and made a ton of mistakes. I still have "caster" items that require you to melee to proc at lvl 49. Casters don't melee at lvl 49. Just an example of them not knowing what they were doing.

How about nerfing Minor Illusion so no more moving with it? No more running around as the WC toll booth or giant Freeport poop.

Original Pegasus Cloak:

1) Could be cast on others
2) Every recast would raise you or target higher off the ground

Robust OGRE blocking exit to GUK and train coming though, lift him to ceiling like a balloon and run to zone :D

On Rallos Zek for at least the 1st year whoever clicked on a pvp corpse first got to loot it. Later rightfully changed to the person who got the kill.

Massive Heartwood Thorn

First few that dropped on the server were 15/20 with a 10% backstab mod - It was nerfed shortly after to 15/21 and no backstab mod. Miss those bigger backstabs!
