Um, I think I violated a cardinal rule as I made a general statement
about this thread that didn't apply to everyone. So, I'm sending this
right after the last one.
All I'm concerned about are the "no you're wrong" messages not the
"here's what I tried and saw" messages. There has been some good info
on this thread with people letting us know what they've discovered by
experimentation, etc. I was mainly referring to the "no you're wrong
it's this way" messages. Sorry for the generalization. Hopefully this
will arrive shortly after the other one!
Thanks,
Shawn

Hi people,
I don't care. At least for now until we know more. Not meaning to be
rude as I think we have good information to pass back and forth on other
topics. But, this is beginning to remind me of arguments with my wife
about who would take out the trash or what exactly did I mean when I
said <blank>. Now, let's not confuse this with the "your computer means
more to you than me" fights cause those are in another league and they
just don't understand hehe
Anyway, this is the kind of thread that discourages people from being a
part of mailing lists. I said..., no you meant..., no I meant and you
are saying..., he said that you said..., etc. my ears are ringing
already

I'm glad you have the honesty to say everyone, you certainly arnt
contributing any.
.....or even
>calculate anything tangible and informative
Not sure what you mean by this, I've heard several people say that
they've
had significantly fewer resists after making a character with a higher
chr
than a prior one with a lower chr. To me, this is far more 'tangible
and
informative' than saying that Stratics says something, ergo it must be
true.

Of couse, arguing is fun. =)
......oh well....until Stratics proves to be

and
>take it to heart
Firstly, I never even suggested that Stratics falsified information.
I've
talked with eqss people in the chat rooms in beta, and grouped with one
early in retail. They're good, honest people. However, they are *not*
perfect. You want an example of wrong info on the sight? Okie dokie.
If
you look under thier class reference chart, you'll see that barbarians
are
large sized creatures, and it will say that, for example, high elves are
small/medium. Now, the thing is, barbarians are capable of wearing
medium
armor too. The simple fact is, Verant has not released a great deal of
the
'number crunching' information, so I'm likely to at least pay attention
to
someone who comes up with new information rather than dismissing it out
of
hand do to its not being known beforehand. *All* the information that
is
once stratics was once this way.
......and by the by.......MANY of the authors of EQ are

I'll admit befuddlement as to what you mean when you say "many of the
authors of EQ are directly involved with EQ...". I assume you mean that
the
authors of EQSS or perhaps EQVault there rather than EQ. I'm quite
certain
that the authors of EQ are involved with the GMs. ;) However, neing
friends
with the admins of CoN, I can assure you that GMs do *not* give out
specific
number crunching values to anyone. Seriously, how do you mean that they
are
involved?
