    There's bonus exp coming for the 4th of July weekend. That's the time to level as people will actually be at it en masse again.

    "Why do they all clean" is a good mystery. Both the book and the show would have been better if they did more with it. It's got an extra layer or two but those bits aren't big revelations as much as they give some additional explanation and context.

    Well you didn't send me a message and quoted me instead so more people see it so spare me your concern trolling. Early in the book and early in the show the mystery of why people clean is revealed.

    For any problems the server and its rules may have I don't miss getting trained even a little bit.

    I don't mind that the bonus doesn't apply to the previous cap. I mind that your first char only gets you 10%.

    I like the character so that would be a shame but as far as the telling of the story goes she'd be a fine choice for a writer to make.

    Not everyone goes to Sky at 60 but the griffons they can charm combined with the pet haste spell that they get is pretty fucking crazy. They can also make good use of their charm in Chardok.

    It's way too late now but I would have liked the show to have been organized a little differently. When the show opens we learn about the town through the family of new arrivals as before but it's slow because everyone is really cagey when asked questions. Rather than people just not fucking...

    Finished up book one a bit ago. It wasn't amazing but it was solid. It also killed my interest in the show stone dead. I started book 2 and so far I'm interested in the kind of story it's telling.

    I've seen I think one formal gear check ever and even then it was "hey, at Sky today we were checking out people's gear and a few of you got tells. You shouldn't have empty slots at this point so take care of it before we're up here again." Everyone must have went and put on some stuff that said...

    This was so many words. Don't show up to raids with empty slots two weeks in.

    With casters there's not always anything all that amazing in a particular slot pre-raid but with tanks AC is their best stat. Empty slot versus bronze and dudes are choosing to save the cash knowing they'll be splitting Nagafen later in the day.

    One split eating dirt is a thing that happens. It doesn't automatically indicate they were set up poorly. If the winner/loser dynamic persists than that'll indicate they're some bias going in to dividing up the force.

    There's also typically some Necromancers putting that entire fucking maze to the sword in search of hat quest items so it naturally churns pretty fast.

    I can't remember if he's tagged as rare but now he can spawn anywhere in the little maze before the big room so it's typically not a giant mess to get a prod.

    In Kunark we're going to have people running around with every single beneficial spell in the game blocked far taunting key mobs. If I was out by myself at Rotting Skeleton I'd block everything. Anyone playing right probably needs a hotbar of blocking technology.

    I'm sure there's some fancy things to be done by having a group of pullers outside of the raid using /yell as a splitting mechanism but Classic is not an era that requires anything like that. Trash skips in open world VT should be super easy? You drop everyone from the raid and make one group of...

    If open world continues to be a thing we're going to see the meta advance to pullers having a row of key binds that block every single beneficial spell and then be blocking/clearing the blocks as they pull, get healed and get rebuffed. Even then you're still going to have to actually tank the...

    In general it's fine. You can't really get trained and it's nice knowing that some boxer can't take anything you got the first hit on but I find it very frustrating not being able to provide help casually.

    Phara Dar splits are going to pay out pretty big. You don't have to clear much trash or do many dragons and she herself is a big loot cow. If we don't see guilds working to get extra PD kills I can't see anyone putting in the work for extra Vulaks.

    It's early and I expect to be wrong but the value of instance lockouts set to character instead of account seems really, really low at least in eras that have full open world content.

    The server would have been so much cooler if Zaide, Atabishi and Mabbu were running guilds on it rather than arguing here. Is this all being done in anticipation of the 25th anniversary? Let's hope. Let's. Hope.
