View Full Version : Mana reporting - was it this way on your Live servers?

Not sure if this was specific to Fennin Ro, but we would report our mana in the following fashion.

1m , 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m....so if I was 50% mana, I would just say 2.5m, etc.

Each 1m was 1 bubble of mana, or 20%....maybe it was due to the UI at the time. Did it change to a percentage report when the UI's changed or was the percentage reporting used on this server always common on you severs from the beginning?

On the lameness (nameless) we would do 10m, 20m, 30m etc. Ive seen people do the whole 1m thing and I get so confused, thinking they have 1% mana..

maybe they shoulda used 1b for 1 bubble as using 1m says 1 mana to most people.

I always post the exact number, like if I have 2600 mana, and I'm at 1500, I'd say 1500/2600 Mana Left!

I always just did LOM (meaning don't pull multiples) or OOM (meaning you ain't getting healed- I played cleric and/or druid).

we just did both 10, 20, 30 & 10% ,20% ,30% on Karana. Seems like we were the versatile server!

oom, 10m, 20m, 30m, etc. up to fm on Povar. Each bubble of mana was 20m obviously.

I was on Fennin Ro as well, and not only did I expect people to say 1-5m but I said it myself.

wow, I have never heard of this. I would definitely think "1% - 5%" mana if you said that

Murferoo

Interesting, sounds like it was maybe just a Fennin Ro thing although that seems peculiar.....I just always assumed the 1m through 5m was standard due to the original UI showing 5 big bubbles of mana...no actual percentage numbers were available then, again, not that it would be very difficult to deduce mind you.

Ah well, percentage it is I guess :)

Oh, and my apologies to the groups here that had to suffer through thinking I was OOM when I would report 4m, haha.

my response to mana checks is that you will get healed when you get healed.. but then again i am just a cleric

Brell Serelis: 50m = 50m

Exp was in bubbles, blues and yellows.

On Torvonillous it was %. This thread also illustrates another reason EQ was so great, differences between servers. Some had bazaars in North Freeport, some in East Commonlands. I'm sure there are many more differences.

I just remember it being something like:
Mana?
Pull.
OK.

Mana?
Don't fucking do it.
Ok.

uhh.. that mana representation is retarded.. if youre at full, youre at 100% mana.. there are 5 bubbles.. each half represents10% leading up to 100%. your server had some tard issues imo.

'X bubbles' works for folks who have trouble with math. I know a few such people.

Druzzil Ro was always by % as well

Early on Druzzil Ro would do 1m, 2m, 3m as well. When I came back to this project it took me a while to adjust to the way its done here.
