I agree with you. I'll abstain from naming the person responsible.

Leaders on Lockjaw have suggested we limit "FFA" mobs on the rotation to unguilded open raids which must accept any player 46+ and must do loot via rolls.

What killed kp?

Certain issues like automation will always happen, it's a problem in MMO's generally not just EQ. Other things can be changed and should be changed to put average players at less of a disadvantage. The only big change I'd like to see is for DBG to improve auto follow and allow players to...

Yeah I've heard I can also wire a power switch to it which is probably something I need to look into.

Noodle, the guide you linked was awesome. I've got the pi2 set up with the full nes/snes/Sega libraries working so far. We've been using ps4 controllers with USB cables but our plan is to get a legit arcade set up and build it right into our table so the buttons and such are flush with the...

I almost think that if DBG instated the Prison Server concept into EQ1 it would inadvertently merge like 80% of the EQ population onto a single server.

As far as we know, yes. It's slated for December/January I think.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

It might have to do with the length of the suspension? MM were given 3 day suspensions, the raid mob suspensions were 7 days right? It's awesome how salty people are over this. I especially like the posts on the forums saying that Roshen is in our guild. I guess you're bound to get mad when...

So MM group is in sky clearing island one. Our officers tried to reach out to MM leadership but none were online/active/responding. We tried reaching out to the guy clearing and he ignored us. We have a sky raid coming up and this dude is clearing island one which isn't in itself a big deal but...

One of my pals on Lockjaw (Not in our guild though) was already talking about buying a bunch of cheap computers so he could 12-18 box.

If you know of a great guide already you should post it here to save us from finding out they suck the hard way.

Tenks how is yours setup? What are you using for controls etc? Did you add or modify anything or just use a Raspberry Pi and plug in some controllers?

My roommate and I are going to start building an aracde esque setup in our place. We were originally looking at doing an arcade table but it seems so impractical to have the screen in the table and then you've got to stand up and stare downward whenever you want to play it. Either way, we got...

Same for us. We'd tank it to the 30's then it turned into just rezzimg tanks to get one rounded while pets finished her up. Later kills would be purely pet walled.

Only four guilds will ever get to say they killed pre nerf bees. Not a bad accomplishment!

Flux, did Apok ever clear revamped Bees or Efreeti Cycle?

It's amazing to see a Mistwalker go for so few krono. There are only four on Lockjaw at the moment. Bloodfires on the other hand... I wouldn't give you 8 krono for that shit..

All forms of boxing are far more common now. Almost everyone in my guild boxes, I now have 20 level 50 characters myself. EQ hasn't changed to cause this, it's just because of krono. I can camp Efreeti for a day or two and make enough plat to keep a 12 box subbed for a month on Krono. On...

I don't think enforced no boxing would result in no socks. People will just always resort to socking, even when it's obviously self destructive long term.

FiF requires GM intervention at almost every raid encounter. Also people will come to a mob, lose it and NEVER LEAVE until the next spawn to ensure they have FiF. Guess who did that last time?

They actually found the laziest way to punish players... They're letting other players vote on the punishment. This is not real life.

DBG has a pretty predictable formula. They identify the loudest/angriest group of players and then provide that group with "We can't do anything" for a few weeks before finally providing them with whatever ends up being the laziest "solution" they can think of. I'm kind of wondering, what...

Dude that's actually the reality on Lockjaw right now. I'd say troll for sure if this was anything but EQ. This game is a magnet for deluded people to come together in big groups where they can go full retard.

I'm at work so I can't do it but someone please archive that thing.

Wow, get in on this thread before it gets deleted. It's golden. Daybreak Remove FFA on Both Servers

The other day AD wiped to Inny with 77 people for two hours. We came in and scooped it up. MM had like 22 deaths on their last Nagafen kill. You'd think these guilds would want more FFA days so they could at least blame us for taking the mobs rather than having to face their own incompetence for...

The problem you outline is instantly solved by having a set % of FFA. It's why our original rotation had 50% FFA mobs, no matter how many guilds joined the rotation the people capable of breaking it would have no incentive to do so. The issue was with DBG enforcing rotations the other guilds...

Player run rotations are infinitely better because a group of players can say "No, fuck you. That rule is ridiculous" and if people are shitting up a server we can say "No, fuck you. You're out of the rotation." DBG enforcing rotations allows inane and counter-intuitive rules to exist and it...

Is this real life?

Benefits of being the first Shaman and first Paladin to 50 on this server lol.

With buffs the results could be significant. It could be the difference between being able to kill Trakanon at level 50 (day 1) or having to wait until nearly 60. But yeah ultimately server firsts are what you really care about, especially on mobs that act as raid zone bottlenecks.

Yeah but our "competition" wouldn't be bridging the gear gap in the meantime, and they would still have to compete with us for those mobs.

Dima had claimed to me that he "crushed TL off the server". The way I always interpreted it was that when the GoD vote failed a lot of people got bored and left (all guilds). This hurt TL the most because it had been in Time the longest, and thus would suffer from boredom the quickest. After...

Dima's new rotation draft is literally the Apok rotation. Except with the additional retarded rule "Anti-poopsock measures: 30 minute frame to prepare and engage any FFA targets. FFA targets are announced and coordinated. " Lockjaw Server Rotations - Google Sheets

This would be awesome for sure.

The intentions that had back then are one thing, but the current design team has said a few times now that they want to preserve the competitive atmosphere and are opposed to instancing content even if they had the resources to do so. Also, everyone knew how it was going to be coming into the...

You don't get to define what meaning players derive from their playtime. I'm sure for some it's about loot. For me and most of my friends it's about the thrill of the race. We've given loot to like four guilds on our rotation after winning a race. Yeah we're not handing out CoF's or anything but...

They'd get on via Yael or Draco.
