Emergent Gameplay: Is there any left in P99?
I watched some videos on EQNext and had to laugh when the developers talked about how great emergent gameplay is. Here I am playing a server where DOT damage is nerfed because the original Everquest developers jumped in and nerfed emergent gameplay at every turn.
On Live I played a wizard class that had been nerfed to oblivion because nuking is so OP but bards swarm kiting half a zone's worth of mobs? Eh, no biggie.
On P99 the spell aggro is so high that casting snare and a couple nukes can COMPELTELY negate the need for a healer in outdoor zones. From level 29 on, a warrior/wizard combo is completely viable thanks to the spell aggro. It's simple, and very effiicient.
Apart from newbie rogues wielding epics, what other emergent gameplay have you uncovered on P99?
