Tab targeting has been silently removed...

By the way I remember playing when Cycle NPC wasn't implemented, and my work around to target mobs without clicking was to use Target Closest, and strafe my character around so that the mob I wanted WAS the closest NPC. :rofl:

this for me too.

Sounds to me like the good old fashioned /assist macro just became mandatory for every hotbar again.

Also this is a pretty solid nerf to chanters and their endless bullshit

Well pathing is a complete clusterfuck and shit always falls through the floor and hits you through the ceiling but LETS MAKE TARGETING HARDER WOOHOO!!

hehhhhh

I was upset like 10 years ago when a change was made to hide functionality here because I was really concerned about overall my favorite cleric race. Its hard to be the guy that really cares about something that is absolutely not going to get changed

FTR, /guildwar was also classic...

This is the truth. Using this method is much easier when you have a Tank aware of the limitations in targeting.

Each time you use your Mez hotkey to alert your group you are mezzing a mob, your tank should know to take a few steps backwards. This ensures that the other mobs on him step forward and allow the enchanter to press F8 again for a new target. Continue repeating this process until you are down to a single mob on the tank.

If mobs break off and start beating on Healers or have undead aggro and are all over the Melee either use click Targetting or move your character as Rogean described to get an F8 line of sight on your next Mez target.

Same goes for root CC and in some cases Offtank CC if you’re breaking a difficult room with Weaponshield engage or a avoidance monk/rogue.

Daldaen had a meltdown about raid scene a couple years ago.
while we're talking about the past.

Praying for rock solid spines and only the utmost classic implementations

Implement it on green by all means but leave blue alone.

Almost no one wants this.

It seems that there is a vocal segment of this community that wants this easy, twenty year old game to be the absolute easiest version they can possibly get. I'm starting to wonder if they wouldn't fit in better on a TLP.

I'm coming to really wish Green wasn't going to roll in to Blue but rather a master Green server when the time comes for Green League: Season 2. Leave the beta behind.

I came back to P99 a couple of months ago after playing for a couple days a few years ago.
All in all I have really enjoyed it, and appreciate all the work that the devs are putting into bug fixes and whatnot.

What I do not enjoy is the removal of small improvements in the name of "not classic". Some of the changes I do understand however, given the massive changes in technology since 1999 I personally feel some of these changes are just getting a little, I don't know, "anal" is all I can come up with.

I have a 4k monitor, I can't read a damn thing in classic UI.

I'm going to continue to attempt to enjoy the game as presented, but at some point removing functionality that in no way harms the projects pretense, will alienate the community.

Pushing people who are interested and invested in the project and community away for the sake of purity just makes no sense to me. How many movies, books and plays been built around a story on that premise? This is just needling people until they leave imho.
