Color con needs to change back...

I think the only people complaining about this are WoW players. If I remember correctly the target window there tells you shit about the mob. Anyone else who actually played classic has hitting 'c' burned into their mind as a necessary survival tactic.

I played EQ from beta phase 3 for 7 years straight. When I retired I was the top geared/AA'd Enchanter on my server top 25 across all servers and in a top 5 raiding guild. I think the changes are completely dumb. Some classic mechanics were just simply oversight or mistakes on the original EQ dev's part. There's a reason they got changed. I play on P99 for the old school content I enjoyed so much. Not the shitty pointless Classic mechanics that nobody in their right mind actually enjoys.

Guess I'm a "newbie" tho [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

im not referring to the fact that you want the game to be easiest as possible, everybody wants to take shortcuts every now and again. im talking about all the people that now have no idea how to tell what level a monster is. i may have never gathered as many AA's as you, but i have a basic concept of what a console command is.

i think the term you are searching for is "noobie"

I have "c" bound to all of my song slots. Let's you know if lag is hitting. It's a relic from the ddos days - if I didn't see dark blue lines every 3 seconds I'd be booking it to put as much distance between me and a merb as possible

Bring back target rings with no color on them!

False. I played EQ til my eyes bled in Classic and I spammed C just like everyone else cause that's what you had to do. When con color was implemented on target window I adapted and stopped doing it cause it was no longer necessary. Now it just feels like a completely dumb unnecessary extra step I have to take that serves as nothing more than an annoyance. You literally can't make an argument that this makes the game harder or somehow require more skill. It doesn't. It just adds an extra annoying step you have to take to play the game. Does anybody LEGITIMATELY think it "dumbs down the game" to not have to press C to see con? Are we really that dense? Does it add anything of value to the game to require it?

The whole game is just a bunch of steps. Why play at all. This game has ALOT more boring steps. Terrible game, log off

All about striking a balance my man. The vast majority of players on P99 were happy with how things were. A very very small vocal minority wants things to be "more classic" and here we are. Every patch some dumb shit gets changed in the name of "Shit's Classic" and makes the avg P99 player want to kill themselves. The changes add nothing to the game. Serve no purpose except annoying a huge portion of players.

The end of the slippery slope, it all starts with auto-con-colors!
