The coolest thing about this discussion is that all the shitty players that are happy over the misery of others because they always get the shortest end of the stick, are just going to get the short end of the stick again.

Broken classes get patched, shitty players don't.

I was particularly surprised by Andain’s comment. I remember him being a really cool dude back in the day.

I spoke to him 3-4 years ago on red, then 1 year ago I did so again.

He lost it. Used to be a nice guy, now he's just straight up antisocial.

Good example of why too much EQ is bad.

Irony- a guy complaining about questing playing a game called everquest.

Rusty, when people got to that content level soon after launch, developpers fixed it right away and admitted it was a mistake on their part cause magician had not been adressed at launch. Its just that here with 20 years old veteran of EQ we got faster to the content. The fix was to put pets on merchanst so the materials drop rate never got adjusted to magician needed to research all pets. This is the broken version we are playing now. Not classic, just a mechanic mistake enforced on mages.

But... it's not broken. That's the part you can't wrap your head around.

In the live version, the code itself was busted. You could combine all day long every day and it would just eat your materials, because there was no flag saying "this combine makes this item."

That's not the case on P99, unless you want to claim that the admin here specifically went in to un-tag all these combines. Considering all the numerous Titanium-era artifacts we still have in "classic" because removing the code is too much work, I'm going to go on a limb and suggest that this is very unlikely.

The combines work. because our base client is one where the bug had been fixed for five years.

Your problem is that the drops are not very common, and the competition for those drops is very high, and combine success rate is spotty, because lol tradeskills.

The pets WILL be put on vendors eventually, since that's patch progression. In the meantime, you get to farm mats and do combines.

Just like everyone else who wants a piece of equipment has to do.

Wrong. So you think it took people 70+ days to get to level 24 in 1999? Oh come on, drop it man. I reached 24 on my mage within 45-50 days and I was in college back then. Our highest mage on the server was a lot higher level than me.



Find proof where Verant admits having pets research only was a mistake. The only thing broke during this era was research itself. Not mage, but research. They added the pet vendor as a quality of life adjustment, not because it was broke. I mean can't you only find 1 pet there per level? If it was truly broke wouldn't all pets be available for purchase?

Brad himself stated the above change was an "enhancement" to the class, not that it was a broke class.

Again, research itself was half broken during this era. On P99 research fully works.

WOW! What a sad fucking display you are. Look at you twisting your words to fit your specific narrative. Example:

Brad himself stated the above change was an "enhancement" to the class, not that it was a broke class.

"Find proof where Verant admits having pets research only was a mistake." The proof IS the fact that they added pets to vendors. Actions speak louder than words. This is obvious and you know it.
