I might have made an account years ago at its launch but never played, and I haven't played Blue or Green in years but got the itch to play EQ after watching SuperBits & Bob playing on it, so downloaded the latest client. Its in PoP now and the client is complete dogshit. Fucking shit is broken from the moment you try to make a character lol, and it just goes down hill from there. So much stuff was broken or missing from their "2002" snap shot im not going to list it all. So thanks BOB and your welcome.
I did jump on Red, which feels like your own giant instanced server but I'm enticed about doing some shit thats not perma camped and messing around till Green 2.0

-making a Vah Shir character crashes you to start screen (still cant make one)
-draw distance slider is broken, setting it to max sets it to around half? and setting it to around 50% gives me close max draw distance
-[UI keybind tab] keys dont turn red when used more than once so when I set up my binds you gotta search thru that shit to make sure its not being used.
-lighting on mobs is totally fucked
....just off the top of my head after playing for 15 mins. But ya, its me :rolleyes:. We wont even talk about the textures or how the entrance to NEC from nektulos looks straight up drawn by a 3rd grader. Its so off I didn't know what it was for a second lol running back.

Takp client is gud. And the takp network code works now. It's the one invalid part of OPs rant. Tho I'm sure it's very real to the OP and totally valid from their perspective.

theres tons of vah shir on the server, so ppl are rollin' em
i haven't experienced any of what you mentioned
are you using secrets' client? its the old mac client adapted for windows, you may need to tune it a bit
on win10pro I didn't have to do much, it has been very stable.

That reminds me! Ping was rolling between 80 and 1k But I didn’t really see a difference in game. I even logged in to P 99 to check because I thought maybe something was going on in the background on my PC but it was in my normal stable 30.
And this wasn’t a rant, I was trying to be funny at the same time pointing out some of the glaring buggy issues starting on TAKP. And when I went to the discord they were talking about Agro issues and memmbler issues so got some giant flaws. But knock yourself out if that’s what you’re into.
Trexller
03-03-2022, 03:50 PM
they did mess with something recently that borked agro a little bit, its far from game breaking, and you would need to do more than "Just log on for the first time today" to really notice it, like tank in a full group with multiple mobs coming at once.
something's up.

OP sorry u had a bad time. I had to do a lot to get it to work under windows. It took a lot of effort to get it up and running. Butt it does work. I wish p99 implemented some of their classic code. Either way at least u got p99. Which is still pretty good.

Nah. A picture is worth a thousand words,. The video is a response to TAKP client being griefed by a Titanium client fan over issues with TAKP client. Zeal is an evolution on the scene that recently happened as an improvement to the Quarm/TAKP client. It's being iterated and has addressed many of the early camera complaints etc, mouselook, end added some QoL.

The fact that a dev posted on this message board to folks that don't get what is going on behind the scenes is a novelty. Enjoy.

That would be a pretty big deal if we could use it on takp
They should let us use it, after they removed /who all <zone>, they owe us some QOL improvements

All because one of the EQ devs who *didn't anticipate kiting, feign death pulling, camping named mobs for loot, or raiding dragons, said so at a fan faire.
Oh well at least jboots reset spellgems indoors now.
*Decent thread prompt.

how can this guy even call himself an EQ dev, that stuff isn't "emergent gameplay" it's just frickin common sense
-dont stand there and die while mobs are snared/dotted, common sense
-dont stand there and die when you have 5 mobs beating on you, just FD and stand up when 4 have pathed back, common sense
-raiding dungeons? lol fuck that guy. what were we gonna kill naggy with 6 players and harsh language?
-You only get loot in the off chance a named mob is spawned when you show up to the camp, hanging around for hours killing respawns violates "The Vision(tm)"
ok that totally makes sense, camping named mobs is no longer allowed on any iteration of EQ

frankly im wondering if kiting, FD pulling, and dungeon raiding wasn't intended...
what were they actually expecting that players would do in their game?
