Complaints about the new patch.Follow

No hope there. I'm not on the test server. I'm on Nameless and MithMarr. And targeting is hosed.

Oh..so are Jboots. My jboots effect wore off and I noticed ZERO difference in speed.

*sigh*

yesterday my human was not really able to enter the dwarfen huts in BB - they seemed to back up from me each time I tried to enter, maybe somehow triggered by myself crouching....

Noticable annoyances:

Getting stuck on ladders and having to /quit to get unstuck.

Getting stuck in geometry, period.

All sorts of targeting issues.
'You can see that' when standing directly in front of whatever.
Trouble targeting corpse to loot.
Long range targets take several attempts to lock on.
Melee range targets not getting hit when attacked, least untl
they aggro to you.

I've seen the fog in Ferrott.

Anyone else notice a minor lag when buffing self or casting spells?

They 'fixed' the sky, now time to work on the ground. 'Seams' to
me they could...:)

WHATS THE POINT OF A NEW PATCH IF IS SCREWS EVERYTHING UP! ISENT A PATCH SUPOSED TO MAKE THE GAME BETTER???

Here u go Click Here

First off. Sucks to be thwarted, doesn't it?




A "patch" is simply a change to the software you are using. In this case, it's a graphics change, which has the intent of improving the game. However, any time you change the software some folks will have problems with it. There's no way to avoid that.

The point is that over the next couple weeks, folks will iron out their problems with their graphics cards and DX9, and SOE will fix the little issues that the patch created, and the end result *will* be better then it was prior to the start of the process.

The game is "better" then it was at initial release. The game is better then it was when they released Kunark. The game is better then it was when they released Velious. The game is better then it was when they released Sol. It's better then it was when they released PoP. Every single one of those required patches that made significant changes to the game. Every one of those resulted in bunches of people (like you) ******** that SOE (VI back in the day) "broke" EQ with their patching. Every single one eventually resulted in an improved game.


For those not following along, patching is part of the process, not all of it. However, if they don't patch and "break" some people's games, then we all end up stuck with a game that never improves. The reason EQ is still the most popular MMORPG after 5 years is because it's changed with the times. If it still used the same graphics engine that it had when first released, no one would play it. You gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet folks. Deal with it...


Yeah. I may sound mean and harsh and all that. It's just that this is the *exact* same stuff people ******* about when every other major patch has been released. This is not new. It happens every time. We always see people ***** about the patches. We always see people complain that SOE didn't test well enough. We always see people insist that this will be "the death of EQ". Yet, oddly, even though this exact same process has been going on for 5 years now, EQ is still around. You are not special. Sometimes, your computer wont work correctly with the new software changes in the game. You really do just need to deal with it. /bug any problems you find. Attempt to fix anything you can on your own (loading the latest drivers and DX versions is a start). Keep your system somewhat up to date. Guess what? EQ has been runnning for 5 years. How many of you are using hardware in your compuer that is 5 years old? They literally *cannot* keep the game up to date without breaking some people who use older hardware. That's just the way it is. Sometimes, the solution is to buy newer hardware. Yeah. It sucks to have that come up suddenly, but if it didn't happen today, it would happen sometime in the future anyway. You *will* need to upgrade your ram, and your MB, and your graphics card if you want to keep playing the latest games on your computer. There's just no way around that...

I have the latest DX, My drivers are all uptodate. My video and sound cards are very good.

Since this patch.

My gamma slider does not work.

I am going LD every day and the last two days at least five to six times.

I had no problems before this patch, ran perfectly.

Two characters I have played with for a while now, showed up in different armor. When I asked them about their new armor, they had no new armor. So I am also getting armor that does not belong on that character.

Frankly, I love the game and keep at it but since the patch, it has become a nightmare.

There is no rhyme or reason for all of this.

Once in a while when I crash,I get a message for permission to send what might be the problem to them to resolve and have been saying Yes.

It does not work well and am very unhappy as of tonight.


Was very happy before the patch.

couple of workarounds
1 - install husband V2.0, helps you negating reality
2 - remove the visor she wears (probably Cold Visor of the Warlord?), I heard them visors show now.
3 - replace her Ry'Gorr Chain Coif she obviously waers with something that shows, e.g. Sensate Reishi Cap (All/ALL)
4 - group with other people than your GF, there should be a guild called "swinger" on every server (so you don't have to look at her)

sorry, was too tempting

PS: are you sure there was no chanter with here who tranformed her somehow? cast e.g. Night's Dark Terror?

The only thing I would say is that Everquest doesn't usually support the off the shelf cards that come with a lot of computers. Nor does it support most on board video. That it worked before isn't a big surprise, because the card drivers could probably sim a lot of stuff. But as the game updates, they can use the excuse that they only support 2 chip sets to say it's your problem get a new card. Actually, most game companies do that...
