The problem with the titanium client is it makes some aspects of the game too easy.

Underwater zones for example in the titanium client provide unlimited far clip plane while submersed. Plane of Water is an entirely different animal when you can barely see 50' in front of you when grouping.

Playing an enchanter on Al'Kabor actually took some level of skill and quick reaction. On the titanium client it is completely trivialized due to the simple "Cycle NPCs" hotkey you can use to cycle through and mez or slow or Debuff each individual mob. I have a huge amount of respect for the main Enchanter's that solo'd and CC'd on raids on Al'Kabor. But on P99 or any server with titanium client its a complete joke.

Playing a DoT class took some level of feeling into, as you got no DoT messages and had to remember when to refresh your DoTs to maximize their damage and not let them end too early.

Etc. etc.

As much as people love to cry about "quality of life" features, the reality is the more cumbersome the client, it actually presents a more classic and realistic challenge to the content of the day.

I Kinda agree, p99 seems like training wheels version of classic.

Until we fixed the connectivity, LD, crash with gamma changes, we were actually considering changing clients on takp for the PC. So P02's decisions were at same time we were doing the same. We were leaning towards going for the old Shards of Dalaya client. It was an improvement over what we had. Netcode not as stable as new netcode. But better. And it was DX8, and not too many features over native EQmac.

Then between me and Secrets, we got things fixed up. Possibly more stable than EQEmu netcode. And client fixes too. No more crashes from gamma changes. Alt-enter switching in and out of full screen. Rarely ever going LD. Zones have been solid up to 70+ but our population is limited.

P02 going to titanium is a good choice for them. We were looking at different options.

However. I am not joking. If they are going to titanium for EQEmu code support, they really need to look at that option. As EQEmu is discussing forking the code. And providing more support for RoF era clients.

The bashing of p02 really goes back to the GG saga anymore. Anyone on Discord lately, has had the shit spammed outta him and his harassment. Unbelievable. But p02 loves him. Clearly they don't know what he does, or they would get as far away as possible.

Its not a dick move for p02 to move to Titanium.

P02 vs. takp crap is done. Its over. We can coexist. We are sick of the us vs then games.

Takp fixed all the LD/Crash issues with old client. It is rock solid. And stable.

U want a PoP server?

Older Client-> takp.

Titanium Client-> p02.

U want Velious Forever-> p99.

Kind of like how Sirken didn't "know what he does" when he RECRUITED him to be on staff?

Stop blaming P2002 for GG. They aren't investigating him. Maybe if they were considering adding him to staff they would get to know him well enough to determine if he could be harmful to the project.

If you must, turn your sights on the person who is really to blame.
