Spells: root is overwriting snare

[Darwoth]

not sure if all roots are doing this or just the druid line.

Lots of Emu pvp warriors who never played classic EverQuest apparently.

This is intentional.

sorry shiteater, during my entire tenure from 2 weeks after launch until luclin on neither sullon or rallos did my roots erase my snares. in pvp or pve, here it is doing both so don't be afraid to go on ahead and fuck yourself.

Patches from January 2001 - June 2001

Stand Out Occurrences:
- /lootnodrop command added (Jan. 9)
- Root and Snare are now seperate effects (Jan. 9)

You vztzjects are bad at bug reporting.

dont really care what a 14 year old link to allakhasam says, the fact of the matter is that the snare and ensnaring roots lines never cancelled one another out or i would not have ever used my root since until kunark they broke every 2 seconds and reapplying the snare would have been impractical.

but i did use it, lots. it appears you weren't actually there and have nothing to add but a 3 word blurb from a crappy website that could be taken in a variety of contexts.

i had never played on the project 99 servers before now, but i do have some fresh insight as if everything on the server was derived from decade old patchnotes then it would explain the myriad of inconsistencies i have noticed since playing.

Hunt down proof or cry more. These are your two options at the moment and I see which you are taking.

[Darwoth]

its easy to dismiss one as wrong when the entire point of your involvement is that of bloviating self aggrandizement to begin with. in your zeal to call me a "vztzject" (never played on the server) and passive aggressively manufacture a false sense of superiority over pvp players in general you are overlooking the fact that.....

1> the generic int caster "root" which is what your quote mentions is not the same as the druid root line.

2> everything, including a number of spells worked differently from whatever elf worshipping six month dragon waiting list server you were from in comparison to the pvp servers, each had their own differences brought on by the hard coded mechanics even amongst each other, since this is a server mimmicking rallos zek, your two cents are not even worth that much.


other than that and the fact it would have been a pretty large oversight to have made a classes spells incompatible with one another is the remaining part where i actually know what i speak of because i played on said server during said timeframe.

no idea how it worked on the pussy servers (probably the same way) and dont really give a shit, on rallos zek it worked as described.

root never overwrote snare in classic - they stacked. always have

[Crenshinabon]

this definatly sounds lame. I would vote for the two to stack.

[hotstud]

Honestly this pissed me off when it changed as well because I NEVER remembered this being the case and I played EQ at launch through PoP. Just because a patch note says something about snare and root having different effects doesn't mean that's being interpreted correctly here.

Edit: I looked into this more and it really does seem this was the case. Apparently they didn't stack but people who were kiting mobs were being griefed because you could root a mob someone was snare kiting and then nuke it with some low level DDs to break root and erase their snare.
