'EQ Cam' is what Sony called the mousewheel cam and it was added to the game in June 2003, which is roughly 6 months after our client's date. We decided not to add it for a few reasons: 1) it's an out-of-era feature. 2) it provides an advantage to the user. 3) we can only add it to the PC...

Bazaar is in. PoK and PoK books are also in, even though it's out-of-era for Luclin. We're doing a kind of 'soft' progression.

You could always alt-tab with our client; the issue was that our older clients would often act as if you were still holding the alt key down when you switched back to the window. The client has been worked on over the years and this issue is now gone as far as I'm aware. One work-around to...

1) 8 hour games would not happen with today's playerbase, client and hardware. 2) *I* would play that because AV when done 'legit' is my favorite activity in the game and a large reason I subbed to begin with, hence why I'm super pissed over what it turned into. 3) It's dying as-is because...

The idea is that older AV + queue randomness will mitigate the problems with the horribly bad carrot design, not fix it entirely. Options are very limited due to this being a recreation, and older AV is something that is doable while still being true to the goal of being a creation. (also I...

It was much easier to defend in older versions of AV because there were NPCs to hide behind/aggro on players, particularly for Horde players. I used to run up the horde towers after being attacked to sick all the NPCs inside on them. Horde base now has virtually nothing. People started...

Both then and now. They like changes when it suits them (like how mounts function) but for PvP they throw up their hands and say 'nothing we can do so sorry!' Total bullshit when general races only became common in patch 1.12 so most of classic was AV playing out legit. Coordinating queuing...

AV is now nothing but alliance premades that win in 8 minutes or non-alliance premades full of undergeared players that get destroyed because the good and geared players are in premades. Way to go Blizzard, your negligence is beyond atrocious and an embarrassment to game development.

It sort of existed/exists on live EQ. Here's me doing it on Al'Kabor: When I was doing hate logic research on Live in 2015 I had discovered that low health aggro is equal to the NPC's hitpoints with a minimum of 500 and a maximum of 10,000. I didn't realize until later that it was current...

I won about half my AVs. (granted only did about a dozen) If horde goes defense they'll probably win because they have the more dedicated PvP players and a lot of alliance are just PvErs wanting faction rewards. Defenders have to be smart or they'll be road kill. What I do is this: I trap the...

Rated BGs was the one thing I'd have loved to have seen implemented while I was still playing the game

Oh, so Blizzard gives a fuck about 'win trading' but PUGs losing AVs on purpose in 5 minutes is just fine with them which is practically the same thing only without needing to communicate with anybody and instead is just a toxic meta that arose to abuse egregiously bad loopholes in game design...

I always defend. Some games I can't do much because I get no help. But more and more horde are defending and it's super fun when AVs end up in a brawl. People whine and cry about it but then end up with tons of honor anyway. Last game for me was 8374 honor (after diminishing returns) in 42...

Not likely

Just wanna say fuck you to the WoW dev who made the hunter PvP trinket

The EQ emu guys would be very glad to have a copy of your old EQ install if you're feeling generous

Ossoi is acting

Just play WoW with EQ players

I got em done this morning/afternoon with a couple friends to ward away ganks. The quest would be far more amusing on a low pop PvE server... Hardest part for me was avoiding leashes since they seem to leash after 10 seconds of not having hit them, which made mana a big issue requiring...

There are multiple hunters at each quest npc spawn region at 9:00am on my server

Trying to do this Rhok'Delar quest right now is the most obnoxious thing I've ever tried to do in video games in many years. Somebody tell these rogues that Kargath is better honor/time

Sure. I rejected groups too for that reason. It's another reason why the honor system is an abortion. Granting honor from PKs is far too exploitable/abusable/gameable. Honor should be granted from objectives only; and those objectives should force PvP. If BGs result in the top gainers doing...

The top standing alliance on my server is a rogue that suicide kills AFK horde in Kargath all day long. Such great design. Putting the honor in honor kill right there.

:emoji_cry: Classic EQ is still my favorite game ever. Fuck the visions of modern games. Brad's 'make shit hard' vision suited me well. He must have gotten a lot of pushback on that too. Respect.

Bets on BGs being released early like Dire Maul?

That bad hunter is using a pet We had up to 10 in raid at one point last night and failed to kill her

I tried hard to get us to go 2 box at the start but was overruled. It's long been a regret that I didn't argue harder. Secrets and I would like to see a 1 box TAKP server but we simply don't want to administrate it. Particularly the box policing part of it which requires a large time...

Well as I said, I had already stopped using it because I was uncertain. I figured this board would know as you guys have a lot of hunters. People keep saying Ony is not about DPS yet I also keep hearing healers say 'I'm OOM dps faster'. Seen enough wipes at a sliver of hp to motivate me into...

I got a newbie raider question: Does Onyxia's tail whip knock hunter pets into the whelp caves? We've had whelps seemingly from nowhere in phase 1 and I've had my pet weirdly deaggro somehow during that phase so I stopped using it; however I've not visibly noticed the pet being knocked away...

If you want authentic, play without mousewheel camera. Item links are a mid Luclin addition

Hah, well I've been a member of this community far longer than I've been working on TAKP, so I feel inclined to speak my mind here. Was only intended to be a little bit of friendly rivalry. Certainly they could point out stuff about our server as well. I took a break for Classic WoW. I'm...

Didn't help. I have FRAPS running to see frame rate. When it happens the frame rate number in the corner drops to 45 from 50 briefly, so the micro freezes lower the average. Definitely not in our heads. It's mostly a problem because it results in my ending up in random directions when I try...

Anybody else getting hitching/micro freezes/sutters with this client? It's really depressing my desire to play here. Tried two different machines and fresh Titanium install.

I killed Azshara Timbermaw for exp

Haynar and Secrets do. It's way over my head. I can write a mean Lua script though

The reason why our client used to have issues with the alt key sticking when alt-tabbing is because we're using the actual client for the era which had disabled alt-tabbing out the game, consumed all of the machine's resources, locked the mouse cursor to the game, uses DirectX 8 etc. Working...

I used to do this all the time throughout BC and Wrath. Losing on purpose for welfare epics and to work on my arena addon. If this results in bans now then Blizzard really has become a shit company.

Amusing considering that a certain popular WoW developer has used this account when the raid lacked healers and my friend couldn't log in Does nobody box their friend's accounts anymore to know if Blizzard seriously gives a fuck nowadays? I had login info for like 20 of my EQ guildmates back...

Is anybody familiar with Blizzard's account sharing policy? I used to box my friend's priest in 2005 to AoE with. Now I'd like to box his account to reset Maraudon instances and maybe get some dungeon loot for his lower level character while he's at work. Also noteworthy: he's out of country...
