    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Anyone going to Blizzcon this year? Will be out there with a small group, but it's been pretty bare of old school people since the milkpocalypse.

    You can't primary both an ogre and a paladin without unlocking an additional race. It costs like 28pp and you have to do it before selecting your third class/dinging 11, but it is possible. Your primary class/deity is really the only noob trap decision since you can't change it until 50 or...

    If I recall correctly, Chainbreaker you played a main and two alts and the two alts acted like mercs but you could live switch between them at will to take control. Cool idea, but not what THJ was. Also, even if it was exactly what THJ was, THJ didn't kill Chainbreakers and then wear its skin...

    Yeah it's exactly the same thing, that's why Chainbreaker was so exceptionally successful dbg had to step in and take it down through legal action. 🙃 Both TLPs being split up with EQL in between is 100% in order to inflate revenue for their exit.

    It is a pale imitation of THJ but THJ was so fun that even this little fraction of their power is fun in itself.

    The problem is the 'motes only work in certain tiers' thing (which seems legacy after the spell upgrade stuff) makes straight mote farming suboptimal by a good margin. The three things that define the problem are a) the xp gain from motes does not increase geometrically b) motes of a certain...

    They do link to it in discord, but you might have to browse channels to see it. There is an #eql-wiki-content and #eql-wiki-issues channel. Guessing it's not in the launcher since having sites solve everything is a controversial issue in retard mmo land.

    While this is bad design on their part (esp since you can mem spells that are beyond your level) it's ultimately not that important since plat is so meaningless. There isn't a huge hit to just buying all the spells you care about when you get to the vendor and the fact that the spells are all on...

    The price was never an issue for anyone who isn't a broke boy. The problem is the maladaptive design effects that come from having P2W/P4QOL mechanics in your game. There is a financial incentive to make shit grindy and shitty and less fun to inspire people to pay for QoL. Everquest is already a...

    If DBG could have made THJ, they would have made THJ. Stealing THJ and wearing it's skin like Buffalo Bill won't make it THJ and won't make them THJ money. In a fair and just world they would have hired the THJ guys and then shut down p99. The problem with EQL discourse is that it's polluted...

    Argument kind of defeats itself though right? It's trivial to get the plat to buy white wine or do metal bits combines, etc, so why add a trivial hurdle in the first place? Instead of having a single button press to combine bits and then another to turn it in, just have a button that lets you...

    Part of it is that the restriction appears artificial to milk money out of people. The sky quests are not hard, they are just RNG heavy since you need to use you d0 instance charges to farm them. If the unlocks were more interesting/fun then there might be another reason. If you are targeting...

    Everquest Legends

    You start with a primary class/race/deity that uses normal rules and then you can select a second class with no restrictions from 1-10. At 10 you unlock a third class that also has no restrictions, but your primary class is still restricted by your race. At level 11, your primary race/class is...

    Would be the same as sky weapons. You're getting +0 from quest rewards at the moment so unless they change that somehow, you just have to use motes. The mote system is all confused as well, with the tiers existing, but a way to turn them in to higher tiers, but spells not requiring tiers, etc...

    This is mind numbing after the first time. I don't think anyone actually serious would defend that EVERY class unlock requires completing every sky quest for a class. It's lazy and boring. Same with race unlocks all only being max ally with the racial factions. A moderate take is 'yeah sky is...

    It's more like EQ Season of Discovery than EQ Remix. Some class reworks, new abilities, new dungeons. For example, CH is now a spell that puts a 10 second buff on you that procs the heal when it wears off vs a 10 second cast time, rogues get a bunch of poison abilities, pets have a class, etc...

    Class unlocks should have been tied to items around the world vs just 100% sky quests. Some classes have iconic drops from PoS, so maybe have one of the drops a sky weapon or something, but it's a miss to not require like, Ghoulbane to unlock paladin, etc. It would give you something to do vs...

    PoS grind is horrible, but at least it's not locked out like raid instances. Once you can full clear you just kind of do that over and over hoping to get the pieces you need for the classes you want. From the tooltips, it seems like the extra damage you get from both costs the same amount of...

    Most likely a lot of people are playing this because they are socially isolating weirdos. If they weren't they prob would have already been TLP players. There is also a charm to SSF life on servers like these. After trying pre-order beta, I put my words,words,words in a quote block to spare the...

    Left out this part: How does the xp rate feel now? Guessing it's so they can sell xp pots and bring it back up to what you had in beta. Also weren't 'loadouts' their solution to not having alts? It's not 1:1 with the alias system, but what does that mean for swapping out multiple classes?

    Who are you arguing with? I don't think there are any p99 purists in the thread. Some people are just annoyed that EQL sucks and that THJ had to die so this lesser, daybreak sanctioned, turd could be shat out. Some people think it's stupid to pay for a glorified emu. Some people hate Secrets for...

    This is just incorrect. You can keep talking like you guys know something, but you're just wrong. The case that 'a small percent of people do M+/raiding' just reinforces that a disproportionate amount of dev resources then go to a minority. To any reasonable person, the outsized developer...

    Do you play WoW and 14 ? As someone with active subs on all three, I can tell you that is certainly not the case. WoW (both live and classic/SoD) railroad you towards 'high end' content. M+, Mythic raiding, etc. Delves/Prey/Rituals exist as a catch up, without hitting the highest ilvl gear and...

    The main difference between the moral panic of the late 90s/early 00s was that the content creators were aligned against the censors and rightly ridiculed them. In the modern era, the call is coming from inside the house.

    Would track. Also the raid instances will most likely have a longer cooldown so they can keep you subbed longer. This is gearing up to be a great experience for people who haven't played in 20+ years or who don't have any friends to have done it in the last 10+ years of tlp. lol
