another perfect example of thinking fun = farming and not just playing the game. Another THJ awesomeness (and many games to be honest) is trading/buying/helping-friends get gear so you can jump ahead quickly. ‘No drop” which EQ created is a fucking stupid idea. Especially in a 20 year old game...

There is no mystery, it will flop. They might be able to brag about it being the most popular EMU/TLP but it will be short lived and have no staying power. I’d also wager their “Most popular TLP” is still less than THJ had. is there a Polymarket for this? lol, I’d put a real 100 down

you can post or not where you want but you are missing the point. People are not saying “it’s not THJ so it’s bad”. We are saying “they completely misunderstand what made THJ fun”

I did and THJ consistently listened to players and always put “fun first” over making sure to cripple a gimmick or play style. Were they perfect, not by any stretch, but it was always fun first. This isn’t and it’s clear. It’s old EQ with an extra flare. Which is fucking stupid on a 20 year old...

What we have all been saying and it is looking more true by the day.

Thanks for info. I’ll keep an open mind and depending on ‘try it’ cost I will absolutely give it a go. But from reading this thread alone I get the impression they are more focused on “true EQ” and less on “relive old memories and have fun”, which is what I loved about THJ and why I would have...

I am reading them This is exactly what I am asking. I get that I can use a stance and something like ench or Druid with a heal or rune in that proc stance, but that requires them in my combo, yes? I am specifically asking if it’s possible to do PURE melee and survive anything of note beyond...

War/rog/bask was murder on THJ ;) or swap one with rng. It was just so much dmg and you could keep alive with AAs, augs, and the heal buff proc thing. That combo also had a cool backstab dmg calculation. so I guess I got my answer, need something with heals, can’t do pure melee DPS so it’s...

asked above but never really got answer, are there powerful melee healing subs/systems like THJ or am I forced to have a healer in my setup? Or at least SK/PAL for their heal proc build otherwise this isn’t even close to the fun THJ system. It’s just a holy trinity from original eq but instead...

whatever multipet problems THJ had were minor at best. It was almost brutally unfair. I tried the BST/MAG/NEC and it was insane. You could individually control which one taunted(tanked) and gear them all(mage pet had more gear slots), they could equipped auged weapons, etc. it was literal beast...

Are there decent heal augs? One of the reasons THJ was diverse of builds and fun was being able to have a no healer build and use procs with crit to heal. Of course PAL or SK had the lifetap/heal proc built in which was just infinite life depending on gear and luck. if no way to heal via proc/a...

this is all the proof that’s needed that this will flop and suck and secrets is a fucking idiot who didn’t even get the point of THJ. There was plenty of “something to do” in THJ without adding elements that annoy your playerbase.

THJ was just fun, it was that simple. The ”Challenege” was trying new class combos or maybe the super +x levels of raids. but the average person? They got to just have fun. Daily instanced non-respawns of anything that mattered for loot, private instances with respawn for xp, awesome gear, no...

As with anything I’ll reserve final comment for when I see it, but I think the general sentiment of “take THJ and misunderstand everything that made it fun, then charge for it” is spot on here. I would have happily paid for THJ exactly as it were. was it perfect? No. Did they slowly try to...

This will be how they do it….sure it’s your money, but good luck actually getting it into something that can be spent. Europe is fucked but it seems the US is following closely
