    Someone went to a lot of trouble trying to put this meme together, really truly hoping to be found funny and get a small brief moment of appreciation, only spell hear wrong on top of being retarded. Poor guy.

    Everquest - Would you play on a Selos-FV Hybrid TLP server

    Making every no trade item just attuneable instead of notrade solves both the problems of people being able to dump when they quit and also people sniping loot just to eventually sell or gear on an alt. It comes at a cost though of destroying the entire economy of handmedowns and item transfers...

    Everquest - Would you play on a Selos-FV Hybrid TLP server

    People talk about parking boxes, making room, inviting real players for more difficult tasks/missions... but in reality when you have a stable box setup you just are not going to be accessible. Even when you are, it will usually be "you can join me" and not "I can come help you" outside very...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Quad A, or AAAA, is an item for making crafted last blood (etc) armor. It takes heavy tradeskilling plus farming of shit that, aside from the literal last blood, is an inconvenience for 70s raiders to get. So there's a market for some of the parts...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Level places with better money like Acrylia Caverns. You don't need to do ldon for gear; the stuff from points can take dozens of low level missions' worth of points. Better off just grinding somewhere with cash and buying attuneable stuff. If you're just in your duo, consider hopping over to...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Do we, today, have the technology to freeze human embryos for dozens of years and then via machine successfully bring them back and to gestation? My understanding is we have only come close with other things (eg sheep), even if admittedly it's the fault of philosophically-motivated regulations...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    God I hate to jump in, but let me try a hopefully more rational objection. Let's agree that modern propulsion is sufficient to allow us to both accelerate and then reverse the acceleration of a reasonably massive object, such that given no time constraints we can put an object around any/every...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    No defiant yet. Xp is a breeze and the bazaar at this stage will put upgrades for low levels at dirt cheap prices, so my advice is to just grind populated spots with good cash and avoid low pp drops, excessive travel, or limited kill potential. You definitely want to finish the tutorial...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    There are groups to be had at 70. The people I see lfm are doing mission arcs. Again though... as a random nobody nonraidgeared tank, you may have a rougher time. At minimum you will need to be someone who proactively forms groups. If you were raid geared it'd be the opposite with unsolicited...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    There is a huge difference between boxing a 2nd char vs playing alone! Also, you would really only be playing alone for the first little bit until you have some levels and there are non-soloing folks around again. Once you get closer to 70, you should find a ton of cheap but decent gear...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    I generally advise against going a tank unless either part of a boxed group and/or used to raiding. A non raiding tank also reliant on others to group can be a rough prospect. If you do have raider friends you plan to join, make them help you level! If you plan to box army, mercs aren't needed...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    People say this all the time, but it fails to realize every time feels the same way. A relatively miniscule number of people are pushing the boundaries, most are watching at best. Few people actually went on the voyages to discover new lands. Only a few hunted for fabled cities, or ventured into...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Isn't that the server with mandatory camp sharing is caring rules? P99 players are never ok, they're either solid or awful. 90% of the time it's awful. I can't take p99 being hardcore seriously when its supposedly formerly top folks often suck ass at competitive aspects of tlp play.

    Being a decent tank in a pug dungeon setting requires basically being an alpha male. You have to take point, correct people, and at least act like you are responsible even if you let other people handle general direction - ideally you cover that too and know the dungeon well. Most wow players...

    Thats actually a great idea imo. The problem is the game doesn't do it, and all hitting greed or need has the same effect as the other, so greed is a risk need is not. We'll see. Maybe nbg will last and I will be wrong. I expect by 2022 all need will rule wow classic (and/or bc).

    There are ups and downs to a horizontal approach. Having stats come towards a max and stop inflating is great for creating a starting point to work end game off of, makes balance easy, and makes catching up (one of eqs worst flaws) much much easier to do. The downside is it also caps long term...

    It took eq 15 years. And to be fair, it won't "come over from eq" it will emerge naturally in wow for the same reasons. Hitting greed on an item that nobody else "needs" more than you do is just inviting someone to fuck you over. Good. Ideally every boe gets there.

    I didn't lose anything. You went off about eq being dead due to wow classic, in a pantheon thread.

    It took a while for eq to reach that point. It will happen in wow eventually too. Most people don't care because this prisoner's dilemma of a loot system hasn't burned them yet. The tank hit need on a boe green mail/plate? Sure. The warlock needed spirit pants? Whatever. Give it time. A boe...

    Oh please. Just because eq doesn't have big titty thots streaming it for you to watch and obsess over doesn't mean it's dead. People have been calling it dead since 2004. It's the same as its been for a decade. Wow classic took some chunks from eqs newest tlps but only scratched at the rest of...

    They were screamed at in 2004 about this too. It's fundamentally stupid how much trouble they tried to go to with working out fixes to pop imbalance instead of just making queue per faction.

    Throwing money at failure won't save it. They aren't doing anything. The updates are all weak and miniscule. At this point you need to just accept that the developers either are not working hard or are not talented programmers. I want what you want but this is just not it. The everquest...

    Maybe I am a pussy, but raids got worse when they got super overly scripted and hyper balanced. This was the natural result I do realize of making raids super accessible and then super repeatable. When you can literally run an encounter a hundred times in a row, you need it to be heavily defined...
