    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I don't hate that they let the thread cook but I'd like to hear something early next week. We really need a proper FAQ with a full explanation of the mechanics of what is being proposed. Skimming through there's a lot of different ideas on exactly how things will work.

    Not yet. Looking at the perk list there's room for some bigger numbers and I expect we'll get a little bit of polish but there's just no way they bail on it all and launch another Mischief.

    Summoned: Staff of Runes is the only genuinely reliable click I've come across so far that isn't a Staff of Temperate Flux. Everything else has such finite usage. If the server actually has big numbers or lots of assholes or both it will serve you better carrying around a level twenty wizard box...

    Oh right, the wands from Fear and Hate. I'll add them later. Their clicks are actually legitimate so they slipped my mind when trying to think up gimmicky or repurposed shit.

    I hate your takes so much. That's it, isn't it. It's an attempt (even if misguided) to take care of something that eats a disproportionate amount of customer service resources - people squabbling over who killed what and who stole what from whom.

    Back in 2005 there was an unofficial ECW reunion show called Hardcore Homecoming. It has a tribute midway through the show of all of the wrestlers that had died. It was a lot of fucking wrestlers. I worry AEW is going to have that same kind of legacy.

    You're more likely in a merge to get passives you unlocked versus ones you didn't but I don't know how much that is.

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I've played the NES version and the Final Fantasy Origins version on the PS1. The experience requirements on the FF0 version were much, much lower than the original so grinding at the peninsula wasn't really needed. That one also had magic points instead of the psuedo-Vancian spell system so...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    We need the FAQ to come out. Does an inability to damage or land spells on a locked mob also mean you cannot be on its aggro list or otherwise interact with it. My gut says you can still get faction hits but maybe not.

    I am open to the idea that FTE is going to go unnoticed unless you're a batphone raider, kronolord or generic asshole. I just think it's going to be kind of a mess for everyone though. The basic inability to help people rubs me the wrong way and that's just one little bit. What I really wish...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Probably? The strange part is the last bit - So the puller dies or the raid wipes and the process is for the NPC to lose aggro for X seconds, return home, presumably heal to full and THEN unlock as the last step? If it is possible to get on the aggro list as someone that is outside the raid...

    Can people be shitty when it's numbers that decide everything? Sure. Can people be shitty when it's FTE? Yep. The issue I keep having with FTE is that it is going to be so very, very not chill. EQ's a pretty chill game most of the time and this is going to make more of the game stressful more...

    I like it when the league mechanic is the thing I want to be doing. Sanctum was like that. Sanctums are sweet, let's run Sanctums. Expedition was also fun in its own right and I liked Archnemesis a ton as well. Lake of Kalandra was more the other side of things where I just interact with the map...

    In a group you're going to want instant clicks. In raid you'll see Monks, Bards and SKs kiting stuff forever and ever until their guilds show up. With rooted targets one pet is enough to keep it encounter locked forever so that should definitely blow. Does Blob 1 have a warder associated with...

    If they're looking to experiment how about combine bonus exp per max level character with raid lockouts attached to each character rather than each account. If this was the first server with per character raid lockouts PLUS bonus exp for having alts with some of the extra shit on top people...

    If the version of Vaniki we got had been the test server version and they launched a proper version with all the fixes it needed in place it would have been great. I still had a lot of fun but it was plagued with opacity. You just didn't know how anything was going to work. Every unlock everyone...

    Setting aside the particulars of any change they're being recommended it's all under the umbrella of equity which is why it's all kind of shit. Different racial advantages (stats) have to go, evil races have to go, half-races have to go, and so on. Your generic Tolkien-inspired medieval fantasy...

    They have a Test server but they'd rather make less money by having this be the single annual TLP. I wish we actually had someone with inside info so we could get an explanation as to their reasoning. I can't really make sense of it.

    If they really want people to test some of this new shit they need to sprinkle a little more sugar on it or they're going to start out with mediocre numbers before getting fisted by D4.
