Things That Should Not Be

[Lill-Leif]

Thank God Im not the only one that was bothered with the armor dyes. I must admit I used them though. I dyed my warrs armor blue and yellow and told people I was captain Sweden. I was brought down to earth again with this comment though: "Captain Sweden huh? I think you look more like big-bird" :|

Guys pretending to be girls.

Guys playing female characters = okay. I play one myself.

Guys actually pretending to be girls = not okay. That's rather warped.


As for all of the Luclin-related comments, it needs to be pointed out that Luclin was the final expansion developed in full by Verant, thus is it every bit as "classic" as Kunark and Velious. Whether people preferred it or not has nothing to do with its status as a classic EverQuest expansion. It most certainly was... and in my humble opinion, it should be included on any server claiming to be "classic EQ."

Player opinions should not be in project 1999.

Everquest was far, far better as a game before the development team started listening to what players wanted.

Game developers are successfull at their profession for a reason. I firmly believe not only Everquest, but video games in general, were better before developers got all touchy-feely with their users and started giving a shit what we asked for.

We're lazy idiots who screm bloody murder on the forums about "nerf this," or "baww that class has something I want because I want a super character," or "oh god it's too hard bawww." If you want to see what user input does to a game, log into eqlive, level from 1-85 in a month using your mercenary, then go camp goup-drop gear that's nearly as good as raid-drop gear.

We'd be in a much better place had the early EQ devs told us to shut the fuck up and play the game.

what was so bad about the armor dyes? all it did was change the color of your armor. just to be funny i would run around with bright green armor

Armor dyes is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.

EQ had a great system for unique armor. They didnt design 14 different sets of plate or unique graphic for each class, they just tinted the armor. Which works really well I think, i mean you see a high elf running around in Purple plate mail, you know hes a bamf cleric.

Armor dyes completely destroys this system doesn't it?? I didnt play during LoY

What's wrong with running around as a rainbow bard?

ah, lol. I just started on here a few days ago, I didnt know it was going to stop @ Velious. Good to know though that is very cool.

Well, we're being TOLD it stops with Velious. We've already seen a custom PvP Plane of Time, so you should probably be ready for anything...

Yes, but they require the Luclin models and were considered by many a continuation of the same downgrading of the toon graphics that came with Luclin.

Dyes don't require Luclin models.

This is the exact reason why I hated dies. Warriors would wear bright pink armor for shits and giggles. This hurts the game IMO. Like mentioned elsewhere on this thread, seeing an SK in dark black or red armor(w/Kunark) you just know he's BA. Once you introduce armor dyes, bronze armor can double for planar armor and then planar armor doesn't feel as cool. It's great to be seen in your gear and look BA, getting lots of inspections from other players trying to figure out what gear ya got.

I still say Vah Shir are one of the worst things to happen to EQ though.
