That could be just plain wrong rumors since I didnt get one but I think there was a sword that dropped for a while with inversed ratio/dmg numbers at the start of kunark.

Was like 34/12 instead of the shitty 12/34 the rumor say.

Would have been pretty decent.

Were several reverse ratioed weapons, the most notable however were Skorpicus tails, or whatever they were called.

Dropped in FOB, the ratio on them was like 8/30, but the dmg/dly was switched.

I think there were actually 2 versions of this item dropping, the proper and improper ratios, as if the mistake was caught, yet the item wasn't altered, just a new one made, but the way VI fucked up loot tables in Kunark caused to improper ratio'd weapon to continue to drop in some cases.

Circlet of Shadow

Need i say more? too 'uber and unfair' for pvp servers

Snibbly · 12-29-2002, 01:27 AM

My favorite was actually a really recent one... can't believe nobody has said anything about it yet.

Doesn't anybody remember the archery bug with a ranger being too high / low from a target to hit them, but they'd be able to shoot anyways and the bow would have zero delay. Had tons of fun with that... duo'd FG (yeah, I know, un-uber, but was good exp) with a EQ/AM3 ranger with primal... we'd drop 'shrooms in around 15 seconds I think.

WarderX · 12-29-2002, 03:07 AM

Yep, soloed tantor in about 1.5 minuites.
Harla dar took about 17 minuites however

Was fun, moved into DN ( but theres almost no ledges to use except in the front)

Servers were taken down about an hour later

And if i remember corectly, absor posted on the glade "Dont say we never gave you anything"

good times

I'll never understand why this item was deemed too unfair for PVP. I dueled (and beat) plenty of people with circlets. If you equipped any permanent see-invis item, your circlet-clicking opponent just looked like an idiot with a particle trail. And if he didn't know you could see him, you could set him up with some killer fake outs.

I miss those days.

Cybsled · 12-29-2002, 09:59 AM

I think the circlet nerf had more to do with pulling in Veeshan's Peak then PVP ;p

Iannis · 12-29-2002, 03:02 PM

circlets were the bestest things ever. should have muled more off during the days of camping for that gay idol/totem. =)

Obtenor · 12-29-2002, 03:27 PM

Pulling in VP? , can you elaborate more? :P

Cybsled · 12-29-2002, 05:26 PM

Basically you tagged the dragon in his lair, used CoS, and ran back to the raid. The wurms didnt see invis (usually), so you'd be able to get a nice semi-solo pull as they didnt assist the RoS faction. Granted you could do the same with other items, but you had alot more room for error with unlimited tries ;p

Not that it really matters anymore. VP has been a ghosttown on all servers when they removed the last things people actually cared about (Rend robes etc).

AngryGerbil · 12-29-2002, 05:47 PM

I'd like to add to Millie's comment and say that on PvP servers, you don't duel. I know I know you've heard it all before. But couple that with the fact that gear on those servers is overall less than normal servers, and the fact that see invis items were over camped and overpriced (because of things like CoS).

At top-levels they lost some power but in general, on a day to day basis they owned. I used to have so much fun on my roomates SK. I don't think they were overpowered mostly because they were Necro SK only.

"So Mr. SK, ok you pked my cleric ass at lvl 20 but try finding a guild at lvl 60." Anyway, they were cool, sks and necros were in heavy abundance on PvP servers anyway. I agree they are easy to counter, but alot of people aren't ready for them at any given time.

And to Kadail....

How exactly did you get your lvl two warrior into fear to loot bladestorm again? I'll have to try that trick someday...

WarderX · 12-29-2002, 05:56 PM

Who else has a lvl 1 erudite camped out in PoA? lol

Remf da Troll · 12-29-2002, 06:28 PM

PoF wasn't level restricted when it was released... let's just say the Kamakazi Ogre Explorer Corp (TM) had great fun there and nearly had it fully mapped within a day or three of it going live. If you timed it right, you could make it thru the spec caves and into the portal w/o aggroing anything with, say, a level 3 ogre warrior... and the level restriction prevents zoning in, not camping out...

RdT.

AngryGerbil · 12-29-2002, 06:33 PM

So how long was it left unrestricted?

Elderan · 12-29-2002, 09:38 PM

It was not restricted for a good while. One of the reasons it was restricted is due to all the ogres zonning in and training people.

Alot of people had multiple char logged out in PoF for months or years after it was resticted until they had full PoF gear.

** cough Bartab cough **

But he was not the only one many others did as well.
