Seal Team Exploiting Classic Item Recharging

[Valeriya]

God these losers keep crying cause they cant compete. Item recharing is awesome if you can afford it so quit crying and get on seal teals level. Compete for it you nerds instead of
complaing and having gm's hold your hands

Yes it is awesome, yes it is powerful, but no it's not an issue of competition, it's an issue of being incredibly cheesy and arguably against the spirit of classic and arguably somewhat detrimental to game.

He posts the same smug shit everywhere. He's either a troll or a general dickhead.

Not an exploit, just a poorly designed item. EQ is full of these.

The problem is the consistency in how/when these things are changed on p99. Like people have mentioned already nerfing some exp quests but letting any class turbo level to 50 with a couple clickies? And unlike the exp quests which will always be costing you a lot of plat, clicky spam can even turn a profit for you if you choose your targets well.

wasn't the bonechips quests nerfed to keep it on par with the increased spawn of skeletons in newbie areas?

Nirgon has a better summary here:

Remove from blue is a great idea so we don't see the classic experience raped by 60 people with rechargeable mallets on raids.

That said, I don't see why a few items that give blue an advantage should be different than red.

The recharge nerf on red was largely to do with:
Red wood wand - xping (we got a group bonus... should be a non issue now?)
Root net recharge - resists are largely fixed now, non issue imo
Conflag / kedge wand recharge - resists are largely fixed now, non issue imo

It was just very heavy handed to nail everything instead of just the problem items. I'm sure some additional conditional checks can be applied on red to check an itemid or whatever when applying recharge logic vs non recharge logic.


The trak tooth is unrelated. I agree with its charge being removed on pvp servers as this was a live change once players started abusing them/weren't using them for VP keys.

Remove recharging from both servers is the best option.

And this is the offical reason from nilbog:

(Thread https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=179215)

There is no functionality that allows recharging on individual items. The system works as a whole, or does not at all.

Due to fervent complaints of recharging on the pvp server, it was wholly disabled.



One thing I'd like repeat that Nirgon pointed out:
Remove from blue is a great idea so we don't see the classic experience raped by 60 people with rechargeable mallets on raids.

And what do we have now? Seal team already requiring raid members farm clickies...

So how much are Red Wood Wands going for on Green and Teal then?
