You can also just hide the models completely with /hidemodels. Of course, weapons still show up which is kind of annoying but at least let's you know someone is there.

Yeah guessing the vision behind the job system / persona stuff is gone. Wonder if Secrets could get it done by December. :emoji_sweat_smile:

Nobody needs a paladin.

Does it need to change? It's just part of the TLP experience. If you want to do Sleepers 1.0, just join a sweaty guild for a TLP cycle and do it.

Cascading was waiting until the boss was about to die, then dropping out of the dz so you wouldn't get loot locked to the mob. A few people remained behind to clean it up and then either loot and scoot or bring in people who won loot. Only people who got loot/stayed to kill the mob got a...

It's just that there are no innocents left.

Best part of PoP wasn't even the achievement targets. It was all the shit you had to do at 55 to get flagged for Sol Ro. RI brought a bunch of people into the zone to spawn a new pick, since the contested quest turn in mob is up on a new pick. The person doing the turn in picked over but was...

If a guild already can't successfully mobilize to win a traditional dps race, it certainly isn't going to have an entire team with curated buff block lists. Besides, you're going to have your tanks block every single cleric heal? Once anyone gets on the aggro list, they no longer have to worry...

Let's get a patreon going to subsidize someone from the boards to take the position.

There are other ways to get on top of aggro that do not require you to hit the mob. Again, this helps people who know the EQ aggro mechanics more than it helps the average player.

The mob tags to the raid. FTE has some oddities to it that don't match wow from 10+ years ago. 1. You cannot do anything at all to the mob that is not encounter locked to you. The name is grey and attempting to attack it or cast on it gives you a red "your target is in an encounter you're not a...

Vaniki really was something else.

With the removal of focus effects until Luclin, gearing for all but a few important classes is mostly wgas. Especially so in classic.

Is Chancellor marked as rare? They made it so you can't charm named since then right? With the temporary spawn immunity, it changes up the tagging game, but it'll be interesting to see how key camps play out.

The issue with FTE is that every 'solution' has a possible exploit. Just taking the encounter lock breaking for example. If you make it so you can't break the FTE encounter, then you have to ensure that you cannot get aggro from an encounter locked mob at all, otherwise you will end up with...

FTE has some peculiar rules, which just adds to the info gap between the 'haves' and 'have-nots'. The funny part is it doesn't really stop what it purports to solve, other than inadvertent training. PLing is intact and in fact is probably more disruptive to the zone (puller is /ying every mob in...

The people with 10k+ posts post outside of MMORPG General. They degenerates in a different kind of way.

Technically, DZs should be a much better source of loot vs OW, since the lockout is now per-character and you can trade the gear between alts. Even if you have two characters per account, that's double the DZ loot your account will see / have access to vs a few extra OW targets with zero racing...

Who cares? Bishi isn't playing on this server and Zaide quit when he realized he lost the race and complained about his sycophants being shitters who can't /pet attack. In more relevant Oakwynd news, Kindran joined RI tonight. :oops: They also got that pesky dual wielding OW Naggy.

Pet aggro seems fine, charm breaking still doesn't work if you have the pet long enough for it to drop the encounter lock.

Nobody should ever talk to or interact with the 'gaming speedrun community' in any way.

Gotta give the other people in the group something to do while I'm charming. FTE makes Oakwynd a puller vs. puller paradise.

So far the main thing FTE has changed is that the camp lines have blurred and in some cases vanished. You can sit in the back yard in unrest and basically pull the entire zone without worrying about them sticking to other groups or the other pullers taking your mobs. For someone with an unfair...

Apparently RI was 'accidentally' disbanded and then reformed by a GM a few hours later.

Kindran posted that his house / area was hit by tornados and he had to evacuate. Also that his house showed signs of being broken into after the tornado. I'm not sure if he got back online but I don't think he was 50 by the time of the first raid.

It was inevitable, the two groups are completely different in their approach to the game. As ronne said, it was like taking the kiddies on a tour of the dragons and planes. FTE has a good group and will have fun figuring out the differences between p99 and TLP, but I don't think the RI crowd is...

Hole is open. Get some good grinding in before xp bonus ends Tuesday night.

What is going to kill you at level 1 is pulling a level 3 yellow con vs a level 2 yellow con. Early on, a 5 to 6 will con the same and one you will win and one you will lose.

Enchanter pets were handled pretty clunky. More often than not, the pet breaks, starts attacking you and the pet window never goes away. There is also no log message about your spell falling off, so your audio triggers don't fire. If you guard your pet, it constantly is attempting to engage any...

It's only after Gates, and what normally happens is you'll keep pulling while the healer just doesn't do anything and meds to full ooc.

Depends how far back you go. Off the cuff you have basic shit like target of target, seeing debuffs on the target. You then also have 'new' things like xtar and aggro meters on by default. Mounts, poisons, potions out of era. All the 'new' PoR shithole zones like ugly freeport. The krono...

ENC/DRU, looting CLR gear on DRU account. Swap it to CLR a few expansions down the line once you need CH to keep pets up.

If there was actual competition it might be funny to play, just to grief. As it stands, DZs with char lockouts will provide so much more loot than OW, there is no real reason for OW competition. Yell, for example, is able to be unlocked by anyone in the group. You can buff any character in the...

I think we should join forces with the other 95% of players that are all 55 year old women who draft their posts in microsoft word.

The only 'heat level' that will be relevant is the heat level of their servers as they all melt into slag trying to run this shit on EQ code.

Nobody who matters will be playing at that point.

Lessening the contribution of ebolt / HT in Classic/Kunark would do enough to ease most people's complaints with KSing. Someone actually doing the damage without a class having 'I win' button at least gives a group a chance against a pair of necros and feels more fair. For breaking the...

I'd buy into the conspiracy that they want to resource action the entire CS staff and so are trying to codify policy into the engine, but DPS racing was never actually a petitionable thing so I don't know wtf they are trying to fix.

Not only that, rather than benefiting casuals, it just adds more odd engine/server specific arcana that they have to know about in order to compete. The knowledge gap grows. If the unlock happens on the server tick, regular people who have no idea what a server tick is are going to see it as...

According to devs, there are two 'features' that are not working on Test atm: 1) When a mob spawns it is immune to interaction for a certain amount of time. I think this is to counter MQ2 targeting and clicky spam. As it stands right now, a group of random people standing around can dps race...
