Classic EQ is bad

[Old_PVP]

This is why the game needs PVP to spice it up. The tedious grind of level after level against completely predictable NPCs using old auto-attack mechanics is nauseating. The unpredictability of PVP makes the game so much more flavorful... it's a travesty more people don't see it that way.

All these idiots on p99 forums complaining about how the classic game is broken and horrible but refuse to play on any other server that has content that fixed everything they are bitching about.

/shrug I'm not upset about it or anything. And I don't want the Luclin/PoP changes... p1999 is as close to the sweet zone as I can get AFAIK.

I enjoy playing my pally, soloing has been more fun for me atm (only lvl 16), just not worth the head ache to get in a group then listen to ppl bitching about my penalty for 30 minutes straight

I keep hearing this. I'm 18 on my Paladin and haven't heard a single negative thing about my exp penalty. I have taken massive amounts of shit for being so squishy in my banded armor though...lol

EQ pvp was some of the worst crap ever put up. Class balance was a complete joke.

That said, if they put up a teams pvp server like Sullon Zek, I'd be the first to join, to have a completely different experience, but FFA pvp rules are boring, and Red's pop is anemic.

the reason groups will take exp peanlty with tanks, is because sk and pally can actually tank. wars are great, but they are meatshields, the hybrids are what keeps the hits going where they should be going.

im 12 rog, and so far i have spent a fair bit of my progress as the groups tank, because, well, im melee and tanks are a bit sparese. still loving it.

classic eq doesnt suck, fresh servers have this problem. Many dont want to lvl up a hybrid exp sink, with no gear. They will lvl their caster, then they will twink their tanks.

fine with me, the fewer the rogues the better, just less competition.

Hello Troll.

There's nothing unpredictable about PVP in EQ. Anything PVP in EQ ends in the same way, no matter how many tweaks on the server rules.

It's pretty simple; people who like EQ PVP are psychopaths whose only fun is ruining someone else's. You may try to dress up as the grandma as much as you'd like, but we all know you're the wolf, the gig is up.

I know you guys can't help yourselves and you're going to give me great examples of how EQ PVP could be glorious if this, this and that was changed, and the only reason previous attempts failed is because of this and that reason.

But we all know it's bullshit, just so you know. You're a bunch of gankers and griefers looking for fresh meat.

cheers,

Astuce
