Miscellaneous: Efreeti Standard

[Nirgon]

Does bringing Ooga in to tell you about the custom helm graphical problem and the Efreeti Standard count?

It barely mentions something about Sirran being charmable on some page, and we take that as proof here?

So if that guy counts why doesn't the guy who got 3rd in overall server necro best of the best count? Or me?

/shrug

Server's as classic as the ez-police want it to be, hopefully the people upstairs disagree and find me a valuable resource.

And that makes no sense to me. When I think of classic I don't think back to the days that alchemy wasn't in the game even though brad continued to lie and say it was, ts containers eating your items, terrible pathing, rangers pulling aggro and insta dying, clerics being the only class that could heal, incredible amounts of broken quests, hybrid exp penalties etc. those things were design flaws, errors, mistakes, bad results. They were bad for the game. Classic is the large world feeling, the difficulty, the need for class inter-dependency, a vibrant economy before the mudflation of PoP etc. I know this post will make no difference in how this project is ran, but I had to get it off my chest. It's like having to relive the same frustration we had with verant back in the day over some of the terrible game mechanics all over again but except now, rather than the response being The Vision it's "classic." (unless it's the resist system on red then it's custom). Rant off [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

so true.

when im zoning into crushbone and it takes less then 5 secs.

i never get pissed and am like "this isnt classic, make it 20 seconds" lol

alot of the shit that is classic was acctually just shit that was fucked up and meant to be changed.

most people want the best of classic. the experience. not the bad parts.

Here's the patch note about helms blocking vision and why I remember the Efreeti Standard not getting nerfed until Velious:

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/hist...es-2001-1.html

- Helms on Barbarians, Trolls, and Ogres should no longer block the
first person view when in combat.

The ogre helm was insanely bad. Can't comment on troll/barb.
