A true story of a fight

[Daldaen]

I am pleased Haynar took away con color boxes.

Soon he will remove your precious pet windows.

More UI fixes would be glorious. Oh my the unclassic tears once he solves how to disable the creation of multiple chat windows and Hotbutton bars.

Have to admit, I never played a pet class in the olden days. How did that work without a pet window? All typed commands?

yah. not needing a snarer on p99 nearly as much on live for dungeon content is game changing. its not just rangers obviously that lose classic grp slots they would have gotten.

this is one of the long term issues that will eventually get tackled, i'm sure.

Well the horrible thing is.. it used to work fine.

I personally enjoy the constant obsession with "fixing" working things, i.e. the UI in the namesake of "classic";

however, we completely ignore the ten mile long bug forum of things that are not implemented, not fixed, and have huge citing for.. Perhaps we could focus on things that actually matter.. I.e. sneak/hide working anywhere close to classic. Pet exp penalty should've been removed months ago by timeline. Mob movement speed being so ridiculous that many players are quitting due to not being able to exp. Monk epic doesn't show. Coin being undroppable. Autofire ruining Ragefire week after week. Spell book meditating until you actually learn "Meditate" and can auto-med. Maybe we could get working resist caps (255). Or perhaps working AC.. I could even go so bold as to say fix the current outrageous resists that happen(My 60 druid can't root a level 30 HG for full duration) - which is another crucial part that's making low level casters either reroll, or quit - Spells SHOULD stick on reds rarely, yellows sometimes, whites 50/50, blues most of the time, and greens every time.. But they don't, not even close. Currently it's so broken I had to retire my wonderful ranger alt because I couldn't land a flame lick on a dark blue after literally 22 straight casts(I was 32, mob was a pond mob in MM). - Or a plethora list a mile long of "we need to focus attention here" situations. These are actual game breaking situations that need immediate adjustment.

Your crusade for the classic UI so that you can "drink in the unclassic tears" is simply demeaning to you as a player when all these tremendously important elements are not working, and need to be.. THEN we can focus on frivolous UI changes that can't be forced clientside due to "Classic" EQ being UI mod-able.

Sig is ironic.

Many of these things are either fixed, (pending update!) adjusted or working as intended. The bug forum is not ignored, developers spend a huge amount of time discussing and going through these. It takes time to sort through the posts that are, more often than not, extremely laced with personal motives.

Under absolutely no circumstances do you have the entitlement to prioritize how and on what we do with our volunteered time.

A quick scoping of the first 10 pages of bug report forum is all relatively important things that need to be worked on, sans the "Monk epic not appearing" thread - as it wasn't in there.. Neither was the rogue epic not appearing thread. All things significantly more important than "nerfing a ui to drink unclassic tears"

To say I'm not "entitled" to have an opinion on important issues is inane, I'm obviously entitled to MY opinion, however you are under no obligation to agree with it. To say they're "adjusted" when the "adjustment" broke them significantly isn't a progressive step either.

Under absolutely no circumstance do you have the entitlement to tell me that I can, or cannot have an opinion on what *I* feel a valuable use of time is.

So... level 46 me against a level 39 mob. I lost, fighting with the tools of my class. This is not a story about the weakness of Rangers. It is just one fight... but the untoward mishaps that occurred within this fight are not uncommon. It is a story that is intended as a lead-in to pose this question...

The mob's borked run-speed aside, that sounds right for EQ. Melees above L35 or so always always always sucked horribly fighting mobs anywhere close to their level unless they had fear-kiting as an option. Badly played and badly geared casters were superior solo to melees (except clerics, of course) and well played and adequately geared casters were far superior. The clown circus at Verant never did seem to figure this out. v0v

Dude you really need to just stop and read what you just wrote. Sounding pretty entitled for someone that plays a free emulated game.

Are you the guy who gets pickles on his hamburger when he didn't ask for any, and then spends 5 minutes screaming at the 16 year old girl cashier behind the register? I think you are.

When you were a kid, did you tell Santa Claus to go fuck himself because he brought you a blue power ranger when you wanted a red one?

Is everybody just out to inconvenience you? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Poor guy
