I'm content to get my EQ giggles on Phinny while keeping half an on eye on this. If/when it does come to light, I figure it'll be fun for at least a month or two. If it has deeper hooks than that, then awesome.

Thanks for the Tunare tips. We had to move our schedule around so we do PoG again on Monday (skipped it this week). We're definitely going to be looking into making Tunare do the heavy lifting for us. Unrelated news - anyone know the current timer on King Tormax? Not looking to snipe an open...

I assume you're joking? I know EoE at least still just clears it. We do tag-and-flop the mini-bosses to help gather up some of the trash. But can't really AoE down when you have bosses that AE silence. That is pretty much what we do with Fear though. Beeline the golems, AoE'ing what's in the...

Woo, we had our first Tunare kill last night. Velious beaten (we started 3.5 months ago). But damn, PoG is a miserable raid. The trash drops aren't noteworthy except for alts or people REALLY new to the guild, they're a pain in the ass to pull, it's nothing but hills so you can't see shit, and...

I found leveling up on Phinny tolerable, only because my P99 guild came over and we kinda worked out times to group together. It was easy to pug up to the 20s (unrest) without too much trouble/drama. The to the 30s was kind of a dead zone (uguk mostly), so groups were a little more sparse. In...

It better look nice, because you have to sit there for a long time waiting for a mob that spawns every 20 hours with only a 10% chance to be the quest mob.

Yeah, remember those 18 minutes and 12 seconds you went without technical problems that one time? It was fucking great.

If you go cleric/enchanter, congratulations, you ARE the group. On BDA's way to 60 (we just started 3 months ago), we found that, by far the best way to get exp was charming pets for crazy dps, and also to let the pet tank as much as possible. Having a real tank was still always nice, but we...

LJ and RF have their own rules, I think they vote every six months? Phinny is supposed to be 3 months, but they said a while back that Luclin was going to last longer because they need more time to get PoP instanced out, along with being busy on the new expac. This is also the thread where...

Well ya got 2 months to get to 60 to be ready for Luclin :). Then like 5 months of Luclin.

Make Vanguard Great Again

I'm really enjoying it currently still. Our guild just took down AoW recently, next month we'll finally be going for NTOV mobs. This weekend I think we're going for ancients finally, and are going to make a half-hearted attempt at Tunare tonight. Not bad for a guild that just started less than 3...

Have they gone into more about how they're going to use limited instancing? I really like how the Phinny server does it.

Yeah, I had asked about the Drussella AoC they said they'd do, and Prathun said they were busy on the new expac, so it was unlikely to happen. I dunno, I'm loving the server here, as a P99 refugee. Stoked for Luclin and PoP as I have some nostalgia there, and very curious to see other...

They're emulating the server's response. Chunking is all client side. They'd have to find a way to decompile the engine code and rewrite it to even try.
