Not a whine but can we please fix melee?

Sorry but there is no way a monk with full cured silk and a scepter of Rhaotep should get owned by a light blue scarab. At this point I should be able to solo low DBs with 50% health.

This is base emu code that we're using, so unless something is off in the rules values, this is fairly much emu wide.

Well this is better than your old "This is EQEMU's fault. Not ours". [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm still waiting for a message from Nilbog or you or whomever, would love to go through and see what changes were done so we can identify these sort of complaints easier... I hear Rogean is on, and another dev, but I am unsure they have the time to do these sort of things... Once isolated that it isn't due to a value change on P1999, there can perhaps be solutions to ensure the formula curves properly for this server.

Thus far I think the typical answer to broken things is: "The DB editors (not developers) of P1999 accidentally changed a value and screwed it up, but we aren't even aware of what happened, nor do we know how to solve it exactly." But it's not really your fault, instead it's the fact that there isn't a dev going through to ensure everything is nice and balanced and things being tweaked with no horrific side effects.

Shin our saviour! It's because of you our hit rate was fixed!

Please let Shin assist you guys. For the sake of all melee, please!

Thanks for the condescending remarks, they are appreciated. Now, blow it out your ass.

I can confirm that it works exactly like EQEmu.

If its off from how it should, it probably doesnt get noticed on most EMU servers because they tend to hand out at least ornate armor to everyone from the start. Not to meantion people do not stay at low levels long at all when you have 4x + exp rates.

There are a few tweaks that would be easy to make.

I know up until level 20, it is tougher than I remember. Beyond 30, as an SK, I would fear kite, because even having a full suit of sentient at the time (I didnt play in 1999, started in 2001), I could not straight up take stuff with no healing.

So if anything I think there needs to be some tweaks pre-20, but 20-50 may not be too far off.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Sorry Aeolwind. It's ok though, I tried all I could, but it seems I'm more a problem than helpful.

Thank you for the comment. I am now quitting my monk after hearing that though, as they are worthless.

I've been told monks with worthless on live pre Kunark.

If you're serious - that's such a joke - lol. Monks were quite good in classic pre kunark. Mages, actually, were rather shunned in groups - seem unbelievable? It's not.

Monk Fists are like 14/30 at level 50, making them the best dual wieldable weapons in the game, minus the fanged skull stilleto, which I believe only dropped from GM events.

Monks useless on this server? So far, unfortunately, yes. On live pre kunark? Heavens no.
