    100+ people doesn't matter at all in this case, with raid caps being what they are. Whichever raid did more damage won. All of those extraneous people were basically just there to hang out. So it wasn't "we were outnumbered 2 to 1", it was full raid vs full raid on fairly even footing for the...

    Always thought the same thing. Figured they were going to bring him back soon enough and we'd find out where he went off to. But no, Luclin came and went, no Kerafyrm on the moon. Planes of Power came and went and they reused his model for a low-tier boss. 10+ more expansions went by. It was...

    IMO there are some expansions where it isn't that simple. AHR is beating Luclin, yeah. It's the concrete endboss and has no competition. Someone might bark about Khati Sha being harder or something but nobody counts that or cares. However for Velious, it's more convoluted. Vulak is considered...

    Only the sweatiest would dominate on such a server. OW would be locked down by that fat guy with the hand brace from South Park WoW episode. Yeah I agree. Farming the Qvic nameds with small groups is a good time. GoD is also pretty much the last time there's any OW competition before...

    Friend of mine was saying Breath of the Wild is better than ER because you have all these locations you can go to where you actually find items that matter. He hasn't played ER so I was like "ER has about 130 weapons you can get, with all different kinds of movesets, that are scattered all...

    Someone should probably set some ground rules as to what constitutes "winning" on this server, to keep guilds from cherry-picking an area where they succeed and making that the win criteria in future expansions. -Normally "first to beat the expansion" is the winner. It was in AOS vs OGC, it is...

    I actually concur that if you're delayed getting there and outnumbered 5 to 1 when approaching an OW mob, it's better to just turn around and go back to what you were doing rather than engaging and giving the enemy a propaganda win. On an unrelated note, it looks like the entirety of Relentless...

    Relentless mobilized faster on that Severilous, this is true. From the video it looks like they outnumbered Faceless by about 4:1 or 5:1, which isn't much of a DPS race, but they did mobilize fast. They were lucky to catch one because Faceless was in the middle of fighting another OW mob at the...

    On live servers, strongest item I know of that's equippable by level 1 and can be traded is Fabled Water Dragon Shield, dropped by Fabled Faydedar, which is something like 200 or 250 HEM. There's probably something else I don't know about, especially if you count notrade items. But as far as I...

    I've got a theory. Western Mediterranean is much shallower than Eastern Mediterranean. So once upon a time it's possible that the Western Mediterranean was a low-lying basin of land that could be crossed from Africa to Spain. Thus, the pre-Sahara civilization (aka Atlantis) that had trade...

    Too bad this game doesn't work at all on my phone (doesn't load past the title screen) despite having a top of the line Android. Was really stoked to play it since it has Before Crisis content and that game never got released in the US (or maybe it did, IDK, it was an obscure game on Ouya or...

    It's a cool idea for people like me who prefer to play one character and mess around with other classes while still feeling like it "matters" (i.e. that I'm gaining something overall on that one character). I vastly prefer it over an alt. A box is still better since it's always better to have a...

    Yeah, but I solved it before launch. I think what I did was change the desktop resolution to a lower level which made EQ scale down to something readable rather than a massive field of view with tiny text windows. Well, the secret's out now. Went there last night and took out a few PHes, no...

    It's easier to solo in general, but soloing gives basically no EXP from like level 3 onward unless you fight yellow cons, which most classes can't solo.

    It might as well have been classic launch too, since opening at level 40 with GoD unlocked was quite pointless. All it did was cause us to waste a few hundred man-hours camping Ssra Temple at level 40 for keys that turned out to not be needed.

    Yeah I couldn't believe how easy the VP key is now. I had more trouble getting the Sebilis key on day 2 or 3 with stiff competition than I did getting the whole VP key. They overdid it with the key droppers dropping a boatload of the named-drop medallions. Chardok bridge-onward camps drop the...

    Good to know, that'll save me some trouble. Does the normal mob in Droga still drop it or is it totally randomized? I have a feeling that nameds have a higher chance of dropping their normal rares, in addition to random stuff, as I saw the Arch Magus drop an SMR and the Assassin dropped a Guise.

    Yeah the 8 year old behavior and ass story were big letdown. I fizzled out with the game after a while but I'm going to finish the rest, since I do have nostalgia for Suikoden. This was made by a lot of the same people, BTW.

    Yeah definitely. I gave myself a 5000 SC budget for server launch, plus the 3x pot reward, plus a couple more pots from /claim, and still ran out of SC by 50. Went hard with buff pots too though. I'll have to raise the budget, lul.

    100% true. Most of the time I pull to ensure that the group keeps humming along without issue. Almost every time I let someone else take over, things go south quick, usually from overalls (edit: overpulls) or jumping the gun on a named when the cleric is at 10% mana or any number of other...

    Does that apply to the free 500 SC / 3x pots you can claim on a month's sub? Cause I'll pop a second krono right now if it'll get me another trio of pots. I assume it'll also extend/charge me for another month of the perk.

    Resolution, clarity, general visual quality, how much it jumps off the screen. I'd hate to play a game like this on a subpar system and have it not meet its actual potential. Why I don't play anything on PS3.5-level Switch unless it's an exclusive.

    What do you mean with "the real stuff" and "the fake crap in the history books"? I'm guessing something to do with how the Germans and Italians were met with no organized resistance whatsoever in Africa or the Middle East, if that's what even happened there.

    I pretty much tapped out at 44 myself, took yesterday off and almost didn't log in today. For a tank, 44-46 is this really awkward level range where you're too high for Guk and too low for Seb/Chardok. Hole is sufficient but not great.

    Got high hopes for this one, will definitely play it. A little concerned that it suffer on current consoles though.

    Bobbing Corpse is stupidly overpriced (like 200pp) but the rest of the SK spells are pretty much in line with the normal cost progression, I think.
