When I am sitting down, and cast a spell, please make me automatically stand up.

It's not so bad to tap forward before hitting your spell.

Except that the server has a slight delay, made worse if your internet connection isn't perfect or you aren't in the USA. This tends to mean an interrupted spell after a fully completed spell cast if you don't allow 250ms or so after any movement for the server to sync. Most any experienced caster knows this.

This is a prime reason why it would be nice to auto cast a spell from sitting position.

There are so many things that aren't "classic" with eq1999, this one slight modification wouldn't be out of context; but alas it will probably never happen.

It auto-stood you for years, ever since I started P99 it was this way. Apparently someone provided proof or patch notes that it wasn't classic, which obviously means it's the only way. Don't we all love people in trade chat who refuse to link any items. By the way, velious UI will be "classic" soon. Can't wait for that!

I see. Good thing that doesn't apply to me.

Shouldn't we be able to sit while casting on red? For med tick during cast?

Catering for the coth duck cancel crowd, imagine the tears.

Oh those blue ducks and their interrupting ways! If it wasn't for you darned kids I'd have shotgunned the lot of them and gotten away with it too! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have sit/stand bound to Z, works fine and I don't find it tedious. You just have to find something and get used to it.

it's not tedius, it's just literally too many button presses to handle physically, for say a shaman. Since it's like 3button presses every 2seconds instead of 1or2... I guess the macro can bring it down to 1 though.

Thanks for the reminder on the macro hotkey, I vaguely remember having to use those back in 2001. Maybe that's why I thought it automatically worked. Maybe I used to be good and had just made the hotkey.


Although I could've sworn I was able to meditate in 2001 while casting elder spirit greeves, I might be misremembering that.
