Game Mechanics: PVP Charm/Fear

[Dullah]

Also, charm and fear was removed from pvp on Rallos a couple months after launch. I don't know how they tried to rework it in on other newer pvp servers, but it was taken out from rallos for obvious reasons.

I haven't found any references dating back to that era, as it happened prior to any EQ websites, but just a quick google search found numerous references to the early removal of fear/charm by players posting throughout the last decade.

You sir did not play any pvp servers, this is something I cannot prove, except by your lack of knowledge.

Also, I played Rallos Zek and there was no such nerf, find something reliable, a source that shows this information...

Allakhazam has every patch and patch note since the games release in 1999. I am also 100% sure there was eq.castersrealm.com prior to EverQuest's release... The information provided on that website was submitted from Alpha and Beta versions of the game that were being tested by the developer and online community.

You are full of false. I have always seen your posts and they are always full of shit, please do not post on this thread unless you are providing evidence or proof of your claims..

Claiming things with no evidence ... Sounds like Destin

How is this innacurate? I won the botb enchanter on sullon zek.

you could only charm linkdead players, single target fear never worked. Only Cleric/bard aoe fear worked.

How would you explain this patch then?

Please stop lying for personal gain.

Also to add, the only thing that was nerfed Fear wise in PVP was AoE fear's in classic, they no longer affected PC's.

This morning's update consisted primarily of server-side changes to
improve performance of the game engine in general. No items, spawns,
spells (with the exceptions below), etc., were changed as a result of
this patch.

Area Effect "Fear" spells will no longer work in PvP. This affects a
bard song, as well as the Cleric "Wave of Fear" spell.

Corrected a bug with some of the Resurrection spells that caused them
to return too little experience.

We plan on publishing data and item changes next week if all goes well
on the Test server. We apologize to those who are inconvenienced by
having to wait for the expected changes.

AoE fears were fixed before Kunark release as stated in my previous post.

Stop the bullshit Nizzar.

Also for you lying bullshitters...

Music works on all sound cards. If you still aren't getting music,
double check to make sure that music is turned on in-game. In addition,
you may not have correct drivers, and/or you may not have it set
properly. In any case, either call our tech support or go to the tech
support area in chat. Please be advised that music DOES have a
performance impact on the game, although it is a small one.

Frame Rate Speedup - Our resident graphics genius sped up the game a
fair amount. Those of you in areas like Greater Faydark should see some
real improvements.

Corpse Bug - We've been tracking a nasty little bug that would make
corpses disappear. I'm sure many of you know firsthand about this one.
We finally nailed it and it should be safe to die again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There's a whole bunch of other stuff that has been fixed as well and is
listed in the patch message.

Just as an FYI we did find a server-side bug that's been fixed and we
will probably have to down the servers one at a time to update since
this bug is one that really needs to be fixed.

One final Item: Yes, glide on banshee's is coming back. It should be in
later this week.

EVERQUEST RELEASE DATE : March 16 1999

So you're telling me in the 20 some odd days that it took to post the first patch and fix ALL AUDIO FILES FOR ALL AUDIO CARDS ACROSS THE BOARD that they had time to nerf fear/charm for Rallos Zek and somehow there is ZERO record of it...?

Please get the FUCK out of my thread with your bullshit and lies, Nihilum is terrified of playing on a classic server, they all share account information which if this was classic was agaisnt EULA rules. You guys exploit any chance you get, many of which are famous for exploiting on Blue99 and were banned for it.

[Critical]

Stop being afraid Nihilum, the change is coming, and your death is near.

stop listening to the trolls THIS quote is the right one, time to implement

[Dullah]

Tomb confirmed completely ignorant of classic eq pvp.

[Critical]

You guys are fighting raw factual evidence from the most famous EQ viable source with...

"I remember all the EQ changes because I played Classic EQ PvP and I won everything in EQ and I also coded the game so the resists system should be coded like my way, you hard working Developers of the free game I enjoy yet exploit, cheat, hack, make illegal currency from know nothing about classic EQ because it's not the way I remember experiencing it."

You fat nerds make me sick, reminds me of this fatass down there.
