View Full Version : Some changes that would make the game more classic.

Change 1: Consent. When someone first consented me on P99 I got scared that I was going to get accused of stealing their items. Then I later found out that you can't even do that. I understand why the change was made. But it would be more classic to have a /consent 1 (only grants permission to drag corpse) and a /consent 2 (allows you loot items).

Purpose this would serve.... make item transfer safer.... and more classic.

Change 2: Being able to cast Bind Affinity on other casters outside of city limits. This was 100% how it was in Classic. I remember an instance where a caster everyone disliked got bound in the Plane of Hate by another player in their group during a large pull. They had no clue they were bound in the PoH until it was too late and they entered a vicious death loop.

I'm not suggesting that this change be implemented for griefing. I am suggesting that other casters be allowed to bind other casters anywhere in the world, but to have a box pop up, similar to the box you get before asking if you want to accept the rez.

Why would I suggest this? Because as a level 12 who can cast bind, it's frustrating to have level 9-11 friends who I want to propose moving to a more prosperous area, but having them be hesistant to do so because they are scared of the fact that if they die, they will have a huge CR. Or even a more simple explanation. Oh our Cleric is a Dark Elf and they have to run from Nektulos Forest every time they die? Would be nice if I could just bind them here in Oasis like I am.... like I could in true classic EQ. But I can't!!

Not being able to bind other casters was never classic, so I would be curious to hear the argument for why this is a bad idea.

Also add yall own suggestions to make the game more classic if you got 'em.

Since I can't edit I will just quote this and say... honestly having this popup box would probably be a good idea even for non-casters who are within city limits or other bind areas. I feel like being bound should require a certain degree of consent.

I have no idea if those changes were in place during the classic days, but I approve them.

Shouldn't the lesson be, don't be the person that everyone wants to strand in PoH?

Anyway, a deathloop is only horrifyingly bad if one is afk.

The game make sense. Don't try to undo what makes it make sense.

Restore Sentinel to its tunnel crashing glory.

Consent to loot corpses was patched out a few weeks into Kunark.
