Introduce AAs but with no Luclin?

the issue in my opinion is that velious content is not tuned for AA's, we would need more difficult content.

That depends on the AAs implemented. EQ+AM3 could be implemented in such a way as to replace ranger melee DPS with ranger bow DPS while not increasing DPS. Also, Fading memories already existed for monks, and the mana cost is extremely prohibitive without FT gear. Slay undead might be the most imbalanced, but paladin melee is so laughable it won't matter.

Now implementing Run3, Mental Clarity, and the Defensive/Offensive archetype AAs would create massive imbalances.

Nilbog please add nexus ports and pok books... this is not a troll and a real belief that i hold and think is totally in line with the classic ideals of this server =))))))))))))))

Just add, run speed AA's...Health/Mana regen AA, Crit AA, and....the food and drink one for the lols.

Keep it basic.

Agreed with this stuffs. As a Ranger I am sure Id love a lot of those awesome AAs, but some might be too over powering for current/velious content, if thats the case, then just adding in basic stuff like run speed and regen AAs, would be awesome too. Will give you something to continue working towards, even after you max level, yet it make you insane overpowered, its just an optional thing if you want to continue grinding and get a bit more regen. Maybe only the first versions of the AAs and not maxed out etc. Also, that would be pretty sweet if you could AA into bow as a ranger and keep the same dps as your melee weps, but pretty much balance it out so you could be doing ranged dps. Dunno how that would work tho

AM3/EQ was an alternative option for rangers up to the point of elemental bows which then suddenly caused ranged damage to eclipse ranger melee.

It allowed for rangers on some mobs to position themselves outside of certain AOE attacks which allowed for a greater concentration of group healers in other more melee centric groups. That's pretty much all it did until PoP.

Swish, your endless hatred for post kunark content needs to end. You comment in every Velious/luclin/what if thread with the same disdain attitude. The guy was probably just bored at work looking for some entertainment/debate, in no way was he expressing that he dislikes kunark or trying to rush the release of Velious or custom content.

These threads are my favorite, because I, like many, like to discuss the future of the server in the next couple of years. Plus, nilbog/rog seems to come out of nowhere and give their 2 cents.

Yeah I notice every time I slate "forthcoming content" the devs seem to make an appearance to say something more positive heh.

Not hating the thread too strongly, I just respect the point in the timeline we're at. Once the next patch comes, where we are is gone again forever or until another server emerges, so when people bark about the end of Velious - it makes me sad inside... "now" is better than "end of Velious", inflation isn't too ridiculous yet, and there's plenty of content for everyone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Looking forward to Velious when it comes, but equally I enjoy Kunark and the point the patches are at [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Quoting this because you might never say it again lol.

I agree with you, since I havent experienced a lot of kunark yet, but talk of the servers future is healthy, especially when Devs chime in. It lets us all know that our beloved game isn't going anywhere once velious is released. Im sure I speak for others when I say P99 is the only MMO I have any desire to play.

Eventually everyone will do everything they wanted to do and there won't be enough new people to compensate for those leaving. The server population dwindles and dies. Adding new content is the only way to stave this off.

Delete every character, rollback to classic, prog style re release except it stops at velious each time. It's the journey maaaaan.

[diplo]

lets get velious first before we even talk about this.
