Mistakes of SOE

[xblade724]

Yes I'm nastalgic about the old zones and it being popular; and the old items and such.. not about these

"Snares are movement decreasing spells. 30-66% speed reduction. Works as intended."

Incorrect, sir, if you are correct about this then how come if I get snared with SoW, I move slower than a damn snail? If it's working as intended, then when I get snared, I want to run fast too like I'm running without sow because it's a 30-66% speed reduction.

"I find that hilarious that someone would do something wrong then go to the trouble to jump around to evade getting kicked despite not really having any advantage to staying in a guild that hates them."

Our guild is trying to filter out all the idiots, but just look how many trolls there are - some people get off on it.


"Don't get hit. Get more agi/dex. Perhaps you chose the wrong specialization if you're getting hit on an important spell type."
You're a cool guy for saying that. As a druid, I'm pretty defenseless unless I can regain my concentration pretty often. God forbid a decaying skeleton aggroing me stops me from doing my job. We don't get specialization til lvl 30 and in classic eq, between 1 and 30 is a pretty long time, for the average person with a full time job. Permafrost for instance, I pull a goblin and another goblin comes at me. NPCs are already OP compared to players - give us the break of being able to regain out concentration a bit more, won't hurt anyone.

"Don't die. If you die, man up and don't feel like you deserve a rez every time; suck it up and get back to XPing."
Welcome to EverQuest. You get trained. Often. And your original tactics sometimes fail. God forbid escaping in EQ is impossible or if you gate on your group, you are the douche of the party for "abandoning your team" even though most are truly just jealous. But even with that, getting hit once as a druid under level 30 won't get gate off anyways because regaining your concentration is slim to impossible til specialization. Dying is part of the game - and penalties are necessary, but not THIS much! I'm sure it's happened to many of you that go on a CR and get trained as soon as you zone in. Suddenly, you have 2 corpses and countless xp loss. It should be a "learn from your mistakes" sorta deal, but you'll note that most of the time you die, it's from other people's mistakes not yours. That said, you shouldn't take as much of an XP hit considering most deaths are someone else's fault being idiots. I'm not "being in denial never blaming myself", just statistically speaking in all honesty.
