    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Do you have any idea of the spend curve on the server? I'm sure early days TLP are when spending peaks, but is there a significant different between the 'special' servers and the vanilla TLPs?

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Aradune was two account rule but was still truebox in that they expected you to play those accounts on separate machines. I'm guessing they don't want to remove truebox so people aren't fielding raids on a single machine, but I feel like there are better ways to handle it for people who just...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Mage is a useful box and is popular in VT as a coth bitch. :D Fortunately in modern EQ pets can't break mez. Holding a charm pet means you can never go to the bathroom or afk ever while in a group (unless you have a necro/bard/enc in the group). Your charm pet is really strong and breaks...

    EQ TLP - Next Server Ideas

    You'd need to implement mob tagging, where once you hit a mob, nobody else can damage/debuff it. Otherwise you'd just have a bunch of people OOG slowing and nuking down mobs if the person ever got into danger. Yeah this felt bad on Vaniki where you'd be in these odd level ranges with unlocked...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If you're maxed out dragonriding (specifically At Home Aloft), it's pretty easy to stay up indefinitely by abusing skyward ascent and thrill of the skies regen. The fact that your alts get all of your unlocks means they are maxed out upon arrival. It's really only a pita for things where you...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I feel like if the double-jump to take off thing was free, that would alleviate the remaining friction when running around doing little quests or gathering. I'm guessing there will be additional abilities/talents that come along as the xpac progresses.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I always though this was funny. "Wrongthink" is so bad, not even their villians can be sexist, racist, etc. "Oppression" is a fate worst than death. The villian might slaughter your family, but he certainly would never dead name a transgender centaur.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Yeah it's hard to split which is the most responsible for the server pop atm. The content being quasi post oow, the banwave, the lack of reasonable achievements or the 3 month level range.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I don't think I agree that they should change the fight to be easier just for the achievement. The idea of the challenge server is to do things at a level that you normally wouldn't, not to fight neutered 'challenge server only' versions of the fight. I think it's better if they just picked more...

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    They should just sell a "Potion of Ogre Vision" in the shop that gives you showeq functionality right on your map. "Classic" TLP play is so far from legit anyway with store pots, xtar, etc, might as well go the blizzard route and roll "add ons" into the base game to make everyone equal.

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    Like anything, enforcement hits the casual users more than people who have the basic means to work around it. - Enchanter stun nerf? Great just bring more enchanters oog. - Ban MySEQ? Buy a $30 switch with port mirroring and run showeq on a separate box. - Ban software KVM? Buy a hardware key...

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    Yeah, that's the discussion. Nobody is questioning MySEQ, showeq, MQ, etc. People just want clarification on 'grey area' tools that are not cheating but are still third party programs. You truebox on two machines, is it allowed to run Synergy/Multiplicity to mouse over to the other machine and...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    That's the funny part about the forums thinking they spent any time at all thinking about the consequences of the target. The second half is basically copy and pasted from someone who can't even post on the forums anymore.

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    Not sure they would have the ability to tell whether you were just using it seamless or broadcasting strokes. I have a fresh account I started on Vaniki, only ever ran on my laptop and I use multiplicity in seamless mode, No suspensions. I use Parsec on my second monitor for one account and a...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I know you can delete spellsnew.eff and edd then launch with patchme to get some of the old spell effects back. The hand tracking on animations is still broken, but I normally play old models, old spell gems and old spell effects by removing those files. Running the launcher will replace them...

    Post fix enc epic is baby shit compared to how it used to be. He'd have a reason to be mad if it was pre-fix spawn rates, but then you'd be more justified in being a dick about it too so it's all a wash.

    LFR and Alliance roulette are basically the same thing. Big stupid zerg fests where as long as there are no mechanics, it goes well. As soon as you get an instance with any mechanics shit spirals out of control. It even has the same 'run back' with teleports. You can't have...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Yeah, I don't believe they really 100% thought out things like what spells / zones / etc people would have access to. Charm pets have been a big boon, for example, but from 55-60 we don't get a new spell, so we are stuck at 63 max charm level through all of the 60 unlock. Certain things like the...

    It's easy to catch people who use SEQ. Just wait until Kunark release, sit in SONH, drop medallions and ban anyone who runs over to you. :emoji_laughing:

    I believe they changed required levels to recommended levels. So you can still use the gear, but it's not as powerful until you hit the level.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    It released with GoD unlocked, so there is a lot you can work on. Leveling is really fast, but you have VT keys, emp keys, plane flagging, your epic, etc. Add gearing on top of that and an abundance of possible low hanging raid targets, and there is plenty to keep you busy for the ~4 weeks the...

    Verina and Vessel both drop double quest items on Vaniki. Does Velinak have the same double loot stuff? Already got book and rod, the annoying part was more the SMR since not as many people swarming lguk.
