Does anyone actually know the answer to this very intelligent question posed on the first page?

I recall downloading a mod for the timers before The Serpent's Spine. Maybe during that Expansion they added them in?

I could be way off though.

Some time after 2002 (Beyond the scope of this server.)

http://www.eqclerics.org/forums/show...ht=buff+timers

Anyone know if VI will ever use that large buff window with the buff name in it for more then just the name??

I.E.
If you right click and hold over Aego, it would be great if it showed (aside from the buff name) how many hp it's giving, how much AC, how long the buff will last, and how much time is left on the buff.

VI that box is sooo big, why not fill it with something useful for peeps

But its a very futuristic thing, exact time left on buffs with a description of what they do and such so I doubt its in keeping with EQs setting, I can't imagine them wanting to give that information for debuffs as well even though we can get that info from various sources already.

If EQ keeps timers on each buff (after determining how extended the timer needs to be depending on who casts it with what enhancements), then it'd be great to right click and hold on the buff and see just how much time is left on the timer... just time left would be great, anything else would be bonus.

EDIT:

Why not pull down the wiki and make players go with an archived Allakhazam? Am I onto something here?

No. But that cat is a great driver.

This is 100% stupid. Absolutely stupid. Pure stupidity. It serves no purpose, it's unnecessary and many people are going to be dying -- both cuz of levi fading and other shit.

I get that we all love "classic" EQ. That's why we're here. But what the hell. Some things are just too important to take out for the sake of taking out. Buff timers is one of them.

Can we all band together and bitch long enough that they're put back in??

The developers only care about classic, not the players who populate their server. Bitching because you play here will get you no where.

Players - Q-Q we dislike a classic change, we play here and you should put it back in because we collectively dislike it.

Devs -

Buff timers are gone forever, nothing will change this.

Do you consider yourself a dev?
