Out of Combat Regen

[doomsinger]

It looks like with the changes of out of combat regen you really don't need food and drink anymore.

I was out of food and drink on a level 50 troll sk and i sat down and low and behold regennning 3 percent mana per tick with no clarity buffs. I have like 3 mana regen but that wouldn't really help much.

Sorry to be rude, but this belongs in General (Private).


Thanks for telling people though, it's greatly appreciated.

This post is fine where it is, lol.

I didn't know it was a Strategy or a Cheat..


Anyways, thanks for letting us know. Maybe now we won't have to keep track of if we're getting low on food/water :-\

I just forage PoTime for a night and done! all 12 characters have food/water for the next month or two.

And now with these changes...I cant get a group at all. Who wants a Rogue when you can have a mage or wizard or druid that has all their mana back 2 minutes after a pull? Pets regen to full health after 10-15 seconds? SoE still hasnt put in the fucking melee disciplines on Combine and Luclin is almost out.

I use stat food so i need to keep food/water or my dumb character eats the dang stuff
I wish there was a /starve yourself

And ACAS i hear ya. Necros are gonna go out of control. I was in a relic group with a clr nec and me. Necro kited and clr was there just in case(he never casted a heal). That necro burned so much mana and I tried everything to get agro from him to no avail. He burned 50% mana on one mob (which was dead in litterally 45 seconds). Then he medded to full in 15 seconds and back to killin. I made 71 in no time. I think rogues will need a dps upgrade after this to keep em on level playing feild.

Also you stay regening till you attack or cast a spell. So while the battle is going on you are still regening till you act. I love the regen I just think that SOE will nerf it becasue they nerf anything good.

LMAO...

If WE had posted a hack to do this ooc regen thing, it would have been seen as a game-unbalancing insta-ban. They would have tracked us all down and burned us at the stake, and then burnt the stake. And we would all have sent loads of red cents to whoever wrote the code. It would been the super hack.

The fact that SOE did this to the game themselves blows my mind.

Seriously, does warping change the game and reduce downtime any more than ooc regen? No.

Does warping suspend your disbelief or break the "reality" of the game any more than ooc regen? Give me a break. Oh, it's real easy to believe that I can miraculously heal from life-threatening injuries just by sitting down for 60 seconds (ok, 3 minutes to full health, whatever). Don't talk to me about breaking any rules of realistic play settings, especially when EQ includes all sorts of built-in player warping.

HaH, I can see the post now [PIRATE] UBER Hack! Full mana and health in 180 seconds! (page 1, 2, 3, 4, ... 9,682 {last page})

So, yeah, this is total irony.



EDIT: By the way, my main is the one most in decline over the last year or two--Wizard. I fully expect this to reverse that trend. More Wizzies on the way... So, I ain't complaining.

and i believe the MQ2crashzone was game-unbalancing hack and would be an instan-ban too.

but yet, it wasn't.

I'm betting that SOE will "tune" this OOC regen somewhat....and NOT on our favor!

I must admin it's fun while it lasts~!

Technically it could be considered a strategy. Would be annoying as could be to put up with the food/drink messages though.

 

[Norrathian]

The problem with the OOC regen is that if you're even tashed or mala/malo'd, you don't regen. I used to not bother clearing up the occasional debuff unless I was fighting really hard mobs. Now, curing those debuffs is practically a requirement.

 

[Marbury]

I think the ooc regen was to tweak the downtime between pulls and such, take a look at EQ2, it has the same system as this and they never nerfed it. Maybe they can figure out a way to implement different foods affecting you different or something. Anyways, I doubt it will be nerfed very much, if any at all. It helps on solo'n as a class.

 

[Reformed2hacker]

Ya, I don't really see much of a nerf coming from it. Unless it comes from the community, and even then it would have to be stupidly overwhelming.

 

[someoneorsomething]

Is it controled serverside? Cause constant regen durring combat would rock

 

[majin1970]

I would hope Sony is smart enough to make this check serverside to see if you've been out of combat long enough to induce a state of rest. Then again, Sony has surprised us before.

I'd rephrase that to say: 'I would hope Sony is dumb enough to make this check clientside so we can hack it. Then again, Sony has surprised us before.
