Be supportive

Cribanox · #1 11-14-2009, 02:55 PM

I'm tired of seeing when people have legitimate complaints or want to rant a little bit about their melee experiences, all I see in ooc is how they need to stop crying, play a different game, stop being a noob, etc. The game is probably mostly casters right now, so if you guys keep being so unsupportive in our small community, you might actually drive a lot of people away. And when/if the melee/ac problems are actually fixed, the players will already be gone and it will be too late.

just a thought, at the same time, wont all the bitching drive people away?

somone having a problem and voicing in ooc will not drive people away, but 10+ instant negative replys to said problem WILL drive newbies away when they see how antisocial this community is. i completley agree, people need to be alot nicer to newbies!

Pretty much every group i have joined since i started has had melees.. there is no shortage of warriors out there.. so not sure where you are getting the "server is mostly casters " thing

Well I'll agree with this thread, there are a disproportionate number of immature brats on the server. They know who they are, and they need to stfu.

Come on. Their complaints might originate from something very serious. IMHO, melee classes tend to be very group-dependent. Without a group, they don't reach their potential and everything is overly difficult for them. Then they complain that the class is broke, when in fact they just need to find a group. That was how EQ was in 1999. You needed a group. Casters can't use haste. Haste was meant for melees. Melees need DS, hp regen, heals, buffs, etc. Soloing just wasn't normal for melees in 1999 for these reasons.

However, the defense code is based on the eqemulator.net code. If there's an error, it's not project1999's fault. IMHO, the developers need to communicate with the eqemulator.net community to find out whether there's anything wrong or not.

You realize if it's broke, it's broke, right? It doesn't matter whose fault it is that the roof is leaking. Stop pointing fingers and fix it.

Stop being so up tight. Every post you've made in this thread is either "stfu" or just unfriendly.

Just some advice goes a long ways. The forums do not need this.

Um , if anyone is discouraged due to people being a brat on a server, they are either 12, or never been on the internet before. I'd be upset if I joined a server and I didn't receive sarcastic remarks for a dumb question. People should be reading forums before joining the server anyways, or they will ask the same 3 questions over and over.

You're mistaken stormlord--melees *are* taking more damage than they should be. The specific cause might be up in the air, though.

The 'melees need a group notion' doesn't apply when on P99 I couldn't solo at 32 something I could by 26 on Live ~10 years ago in much the same gear, or when my wife and I can't *duo* certain things we routinely duo'd back in the day.

You're reasonable on the subject of endurance, so be reasonable on this, too. For every poster who merely wants to be made 'uber', there are 10 who see the legitimate problem.
