PBAOE spells should have a chance to LD your character if you cast on more than 30-40 targets. It's pretty classic as I have pointed out before - no one was casting these spells on 150 mobs like they do on P1999 because their internet connections/PCs couldn't handle it.

you dont need the server to lower your internet connection capability, turn on torrent and start kiting, and be happy classic.

Lulz at bard kiting entire zones is 'classic'. Just like rampant MQ and item recharges. Omg so Classic I totally remember all those things having a massive effect on the community and economy back in 1999!

I love these posts. Reminds me of the lazy jobless who participated in "occupy wallstreet". If you don't rememeber this stuff from classic, you were clearly not part of the 1%.

For fucks sake you babies, go to another area, or peel a mob or two off the bard. Most times they don't mind as they understand th effects of their bard kiting.

You know what fuck it, i want P99 to be that way I want it to be. So all you devs and admin types need to stop working toward the betterment of the community as a hole and worry about the insignificant amount of time that I will spend in OT leveling while... so mother fucking... bard comes by to also level... fuck him. They should have to group... you know what also.... fuck it.... Killing treants around level 25 for evil races is bullshit. Im a human druid. I should be able to kill them without having my game effected and ruining faction. So devs.. when you fix the tiny little problem of bards kiting in OT, please make the game better for me.

kk thanks.

TLDR: fucking cry babies.

Wow, could not have said it better. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh and by the way I was wrong about 10 Bards knowing about Kiting. There were 11. Get real. it is like 11 people on here that even doing it now. How many Bards do you think were even playing in the original Kunark, 2 million people?? And most were women, and I really doubt many women throw people under the bus like men do.

Velious came out in December 6th 2000. I really doubt many Bards were even in Kunark zones by then. The original EQ came out March 16th of 1999. SO in less than 1 1/2 years every Bard on EQ was kiting, sure, yeah, sure.

If any bards were aoe kiting in classic, then they didnt have many mobs at all (I never saw any bards aoe kiting and i spent a fair amount of time in OT on live). Velious and classic UI just take too much frame rates. I recently did an aoe kite with everything turned off except the UI, and 40 mobs just about lagged me to death.

Devs should just throttle server side bandwidth to 28k per client.

Just like information had not reached a saturation level in every other aspect of EQ, it was not as widely known that you could use bard charm to do massive swarm kites in classic. A bunch of people did know how to do it and would kill entire zones worth of mobs. An RL friend of mine was a bard through PoP and was doing it as early as Kunark/Velious, and he wasn't even one of the first elite bards.

So just because you didn't see it in classic doesn't mean it wasn't possible or didn't happen. Lots of things that didn't happen that much in classic because of a lack of knowledge or a lack of exposure to the game happen very regularly here.

And I've personally kited 50+ mobs. Didn't lag my crap laptop, so it doesn't lag any user with a decent desktop with the right settings.

Swarming with a charm pet is different than aoe kiting. Um, okay, I wouldn't assume my desktop is crap but okay... Like I said though, you were restricted to what UI was out during the time of classic/kunark/velious Along with restricted to what settings you could change on your UI. Go back and do a 50+ mob kite with velious UI, with the non-LED mouse.

Thats still enough to kite with.

You can play eq with really low band width, you don't need a vast quantity of information to be transferred between you and the server, you just need what little is transferred to be done quickly.
