    Perky has been cool. It took a while to get rolling, but I am fully hooked atm. About to do rebirths on my primary guys. I get the impression it plays very differently than THJ at the high end, but the gear is in many ways a lot more interesting.

    Making serious change to the THJ model I think is a major mistake and shows major hubris.

    Did end up taking Perky a bit further. Having a lot of fun actually. The bazaar is a lot better when the server doesn't keep going down. Grinding MMM, just hit 40 and huge power spike with mythic armor and weapons.

    If you start out SSF on Perky it's not very fast, at least in my experience.

    Ive been really casually playing perky when I can. SSF. But despite the concept seeming pretty cool, I think the stability issues are just too much for me. Crashing or disconnecting fairly regularly. Weird mob pathing and agro stuff. Through walls etc. may be too frustrating to be worth my thin...

    Yeah at very high end I think Fire and Vex Thal were best. But functionally DN was just insanely better than most anything for a long time. Also pet cuck was totally ridiculous forever. And most melee builds were trash? I think plenty of balance issues existed there.

    I dunno, to me, Secrets and Rogean seem like a great combo to shepherd this forward. On the vision thing, first off, I assume they'll be able to involve other devs and parties give it's a super cool and unique project given the Daybreak partnership. I have a hard time blaming either of them on...

    If we can get a Daybreak sanctioned expansion of EQ content through this channel where they can attract a slightly larger dev team and people don't have to be afraid of their actions being scrutinized, I see this as a win for EQ long term.

    I still have a lot to learn, only level 30, but wanted to share a few things I've observed. One is that any mob that drops weapons or armor has a chance for those weapons/armor to be upgraded. I think most of the legendary drops are level 20 or 25 to start, but the epic ones can be lower and...

    I'm still trying to figure it out a bit. Overcons in Perky are super hard. I was doing main room unrest with a 3 box and the pathing skeletal monk caught agro from the stairs and was hitting for like 180 a round. Gear probably gets crazy and Im just not used to it, but attacking reds seems...

    I looked into it and then decided to do Perky crew instead. The weird stuff on the website about getting alt currencies for recommending friends to the server seemed really shady to me.

    Crazy, I try to check this thread out from time to time for updates and its always the same 3 doomers endlessly reeeeeing to the wind. Give it a rest guys.

    Thanks for this. Was the caster DPS buff you refer to just something at the 120+ level? Or is this retroactive in some way (similar to the dot revamps)?

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I played for maybe an hour or two a few cycles ago and thought it was a bit laggy and punishing. But I will definitely give the game a look once it goes live. Digging in for ever 4-hour long playtest just isn't interesting to me. I would take any extrapolation from the playtest dropoffs with a...

    @Tuco I feel like you've gone through a few iterations of your six box setup over the years. Had a few questions if you could indulge: Could you describe a few different six box class setups that you've used and/or considered, and pros and cons of each To frame the above, what is the...
