Things the original devs expected

That link about CH is pure speculation, unless that guy is an OG dev, then he has no idea what the intent was anymore than any of us.

You guys are acting like the original devs are retarded and never played videogames before. The only thing I can maybe buy that they didn't think would happen is using FD to pull.

EverQuest was among of the first games of its kind. Almost nobody had played video games like this before. Everything appears so obvious to us because we are looking backwards.

I don't know about what the "intent" was specifically, but I know Brad has definitely said in the past that he regrets creating CH because it turned raids into something he didn't expect and basically made them have to just keep turning raids into even more tank and spank affairs to combat people using CH chains etc.

As far as non-CH things, the devs definitely didn't intend/expect many other things other than FD split pulling. They've said a ton of different things than that in the past. Hell, they didn't even anticipate the need for rules/play nice policy at launch lol.

thats downright adorable

like the Ultima Online deva creating an ecosystem for the games wildlife, only to watch the first wave of players kill every last creature across the land, immediately wrecking the intended balance of prey/predator wildlife

OG Devs absolutely never expected psycho bards running tiny circles in Velks

Something is missing in emu raiding if it took that much nonsense to beat an ST dragon.

What is the "stacking buff" in the spoilered argument about ST?

the devs are missing

the stacking buff bug it says is that the warder's ae breath attack wouldnt land on players who had res effects or i think a snare of some kind?

Were the dragons permarooted?

It makes no sense otherwise for players to be that dumb.
