It sounds like a cliche, I know. I've seen it used on a few game commentary websites when referring to changes a MMO is planning on going through (Hey, look. Even FOH is doing it now with EQ). But for lack of a better phrase, I will say it myself.
Damn you, Mythic. Just when I thought I had gotten away, you dance seductively and try to draw me back.
The new dance is this. A new rule-set. A new rule-set that does away with an entire expansion (ouch, Mr. Designer). An entire expansion much loathed by those that have quit in disgust over the tedious PvE needed to have a slim chance of competing with others.
So, no TOA. Yay. But I also seem to remember something about "No Buffbots" being paired with the "No TOA".
Oh, yes. That's right.
Unfortunately the ruleset proposed instead states, rather tauntingly;
Ranged Buffs: All concentration buffs will have a range limit of 5000 units, and will be available only to the buffer and his groupmates. Anyone outside of the group cannot receive concentration buffs.
This, of course, will not see the extinction of the Buffus Bottius. Instead it will only cause groups and individuals to run around with the bot /stick'ed to someone. Players that have specced in buffs to the high 30s will still face some aversion when trying to convince pick-up groups that them being alive and being able to heal is better than using the bot in the corner that has the higher level buffs and is two-boxed by the main tank.
So yes, it's not perfect. But I welcome the chance to resub and try something a little different. It's exactly the reaction Mythic is after, so I'm happy to indulge them.
Plus, I can't help but grin when I think of the botless stealthers. Bastids. Now I'll just have to put up with everyone making a Vampiir - the FOTM class designed to function without buffs while up against buffed opponents. And that damned "no /level" decision.
WTB buffbot for powirlevel, plz.
Thank Gawd FoH is returning to EQ on the Saryrn
server! I mean, these worthless retards could have been invading MY server with their retarded power gaming.
Even if they aren't starting from scratch and they aren't as I read the thread several are buying accounts and they are powerleveling...
They still have to face the fact that they must back flag some and re key and back flag some more and re key some more they've must to do this on expansions as old as three years old; they'll never endure mediocrity.
