Differences between Blue Velious and Red Velious
 

Gentleman and scholars,

There is a serious issue with the upcoming release of Velious and how it affects red vs blue.

Currently blue, has recharging enabled and thus can recharge all sorts of items including Ivandry's Hoops etc etc.

Red does not have this functionality because it was turned off due to PVP concerns (Ivandry's hooping somebody and just recharging the item for a new pvp item).

This issue was eliminated when Lady Angel Nilberg and Emperor Rogean eliminated instant click items to be used in PVP (Trakanon's Tooth, Ivandry's Hoop, Wand of Swords etc).

The crux of the issue is that in Velious, certain items such as the Locket of Escape become highly prized for the ability to bind a melee character in Mischief. Currently, Red does not have the ability to recharge puppet strings (non PVP item that blue has the ability to recharge) or the locket of escape.

Can we reenable recharging specific items since all PVP specific instant clicky items have been disabled and make red similar to blue in this regard?

should disable it on blue too

I'll trade you recharging in exchange for removal of xp bonus and giving blue the fix for duck insta-interrupt.

Recharging......

Lots of us came to play eq blue/red because it was fun and the nostalgia of it.

Nerfing recharging didnt really fix too much. The fix was making said items not work in pvp.

recharging locket of escape was something i experienced for my rog on tz, cost me a lot of plat.

Making lockets not rechargable is going to limit a zone that lots of people want to experience again or want to experience for the first time.

A number of servers never even saw Locket of Escapes (or other legacy items) drop because they were opened after the item was removed from the loot tables.

So lets cater to the people who never orignally played kunakr or velious because they played after it on a server that has kunark and will have velious?

Recharging is classic and should be kept.

If it's a problem in PvP just disable clickies with charges against other PCs. I guess you could enable Pumice, but man the tears that would flow if you couldn't PumiceQuest your way to victory.

Just saying dawg

almost all of the problem clickies are already disabled on red or they received cast time increases

Yea remove their cast times that are unclassic and flag them as no PVP. Would allow PvE to function as it should, adds a great plat sink in the game, doesn't allow for broken PvP, and of course.

It's classic.
