P99 Add-Ons

[Pretzel]

Screw Gina you lazy people... Medicine is for the weak, electricity is for the lazy people who don't want to light a fire. Put a jacket on if youre cold, you dont need a heater. Grow your own food you lazy fat people. No Gina ever!!

I even used GamTextTriggers back before GINA was made.

But on P99 you really don't need GINA. I guess if you absolutely must know your Buff timers, or you could just look at the Buff duration... oh wait, lol.

Gina is a game-changer. Simple as that:
It's not lazy knowing, as a cleric for example, the exact second the tanks Defensive Disc is about to fall off. Or as an enchanter I will know the exact second certain buffs are fading on others.. I can even make it scream at me when charm breaks. It'll tell me if my rogues evade was a failure or a success without me having to read chat spam every few seconds. It'll tell me when Dragon Roar is going to go off by the dragon by the precise second via a 36 second countdown timer triggered from the previous AOE. It'll tell me via audio when I have received a tell. I can even make Gina read Cleric CH rotations to keep me aware on long raids. Those are just some examples. It has personally made me a much better player.

or, you could just pay attention /gasp. Triiz''s reply was pretty spot on, just gonna add this; my previously post applies doublely so for clerics. i wouldn't want a cleric that isnt paying attention, or is unable to count to 2 or 4 on their own.

GINA is exceptionally useful when boxing.

thats about as far as i got with your post.

I've met some good players who use GINA and some who don't.

Generally the players who can figure out how to make their own triggers are the better ones. Basically due to the fact that researching and understanding the mechanics/content of the game is one of the best things you can do to improve your play. If you didn't know Divine Intervention was a 90s recast or DA was a 15min or Harmshield was a 10min, creating a GINA trigger will inform you of this when you look it up. Same deal with looking up Yelinak AE and figuring out it's a 2min timer and you can do some simple math and figure out how many CHs or Kicks or Nukes that is before you need to duck out.

That being said, yea GINA is mostly for operating multiple toons at once as well or better than solo players. That's why it has the built in {C} placeholder so your triggers to alert you to which character had a trigger fire. This is even relevant for playing Red and Blue simultaneously! But we all know no one does this since Red is dead and has a player:zone ratio less than one.

Way I see it, these Add-Ons like Gina or whatever else people are talking about just take me away from Classic EQ.

I don't care to argue if they make players better or worse, they just take away my nostalgia and the purpose of P99. To me the point of the project is to appreciate a game how it was back in the day, not to enjoy the game with extremely modified UIs that let you more easily interpret information.

I used 1 chat box back in the day on Live, that's the way we liked it. I was a melee too with full battle spam going on, no stupid voice chat or anything, and relaying raid instructions via /shout or /gu.

Yea it was stressful at times and I missed some key things, but that was part of the craziness of EQ. This Gina makes it seem more like WoW.

This is true also. We need some more bumps in the interface thread: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...ight=Interface

Maybe some hero devs can do work. Or hint at us that the age of the Titanium client is coming to an end and the Trilogy or PoP era client is coming in, fixing all these issues.
