Just saying man. March 25, 2011 Kunark says it was released here?

Velious was released on live a little more than 6 months after Kunark. We have waited for over 3 years.

You want "classic" xp penalty? Than take it away. They didn't wait that long on live.

True on all counts. I suppose the difference is Verant/SOE had a team of devs working full-time. P99 relies on the work of volunteers, and we're (generally) grateful for what they do.

There's always more than can be done to help beta test for it, if that floats your boat. If they shut down blue/red for a week they'd have a lot more people logging in to the beta to help. That's what I'd do, and in the long term everyone benefits.

lol im not even saying it like that. Im just saying that everything falls back on these forums to most over-used word. "Classic."

XP penalties are CLASSIC no arguement there.

Having them for 4 years is not Classic.

Just sayin

Velious is holding up the hybrid pen patch. It would of probably been best to subtract Velious from the classic timeline and release patches as per the timeline. Meaning that Hybrid penalties would of been done away with 2 years ago. Also, any Velious related items/mob nerfs would be on their on timeline.

Velious is a lot of work and I get that but it shouldn't hold up other stuff in the game. Especially hybrid penalties.

Maybe, but this has no "classic" result seeing how few actually roll/play hybrids here. To say that is classic is not classic, since the result here is far from classic. Maybe the mechanic is correct, but the outcome is far from accurate making it not classic. I program and script, and I know that sometimes you need to get your head out of the numbers and just look at the results.

4 years after the expansion released and no one plays hybrids. Grouping is severely limited to hybrids.....

Bards kite whole zones cuz it's impossible to get group and then you have flame wars on that too.....


What line are you speaking of?

Devs are well aware of this issue and understand it completely. If you don't like their decision, make your own server.
