    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I didn't mean to imply Vaniki would have piles of loot, just that Michief/Throneblade are more accessible at 65 than any server before them ever has been. It's actually kind of cool. Free trade on Vaniki I want purely to smooth the logistics of top end raiding. You don't get more stuff but you...

    On top of its retention it has to be the gentlest server to show up late for relative to its era. I popped in to check some shit out and provided you can hobble your way to 65 you can actually like, buy some gear to fill out your character. With a krono going for 250k+.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I just think it would allow guilds attempting challenges to better allocate what will be very, very scarce resources and make the best decisions they can regarding composition. Doing Selo with its Luclin start and half lockouts it was tough to get even basic raid gear in every slot in the six...

    So what does the loot look like from that? Is each kill like three kills of premier shit?

    I hope it ends up Free Trade. If you're going to jack the difficulty to the goddamn moon it would be really fucking helpful if guilds could move resources around easily. The raid force guilds are going to be using at the open to climb out of the muck is not going to be what you want once you're...

    We've had enough of these servers now that people have mostly checked off everything on their EQ bucket lists. Heck, there's probably a bunch people hooked on the Mischief ruleset that will be hard to hook on a vanilla TLP ever again.

    Meh, it's test. It was an odd change though. I guess on a regular server you'd take a run through the tutorial and end up with a magic something before going on to use defiant trash but on a fresh TLP popping in being unable to hit bixies, skeletons, pixies and the like would be a real fucking...

    It's really big. It doesn't quite reach WoW levels of out of combat regen but it's big. Day one where everyone is absolutely naked trying to claw together any gear at all you'll be thrilled have just all the Magicians you can at the raid but once your guild starts to get going the caster dps...

    I expect a lot of "everyone that can bind, bind outside the AoC" while everything that can be pulled to the zone in is pulled to the zone in.

    It was a real change in tone but they made it work. I really liked Harold Perrineau in Oz as Augustus Hill and that carried over to this show. When she went nuts I felt so bad for him.

    That has to be some Brazil tier surgery. I can't believe a doctor in the US is just sewing tentacles on to bellybuttons and calling it a penis. Unless we're just admitting America is Slaneesh territory. boobs as a counterbalance

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Depending on your level there's a threshold of shit you can pull where shit does not assist. It's odd how you can forget the details of shit you did a million times but I think at 60 you can always solo pull 50 and below. If you pull something higher level and everything else around it is low...

    I have not been in Sky since Aradune and I don't know if a specific change was made or is automatically baked in to the release of a certain expansion but on Aradune and on previous TLPs a Magician could only summon their level 48 Air pet and Necromancers can only summon their 48 pet as well...

    Yeah, I scaled back my expectations but even so it was basically all cliffhanger. I was bothered by the engineer not immediately packing up irreplaceable equipment at first sight of storm but whatever. Put the tower back on its side and bring in all the gear.

    Well of course level changes the dynamics of pulling. In regards to Sky I said it sounded dreadful which it does. So you show up to Sky with just all the Mages and start petwalling. Mages can't summon new pets so every single time one of their pets dies you have to hop down, make a new one and...

    They've going to have to be good to get people to grind their face in to Velious era Cazic Thule. Just zoning in to Fear with a level 40 character might chain aggro the entire zone.

    We know there are challenges for completing certain encounters at certain levels but we don't have a list of them. Rewards that you can use on any character on the same account could be awesome. If there was a cool thing tied to clearing Sky at level 40 than that would be why you would go.

    Sky in 24 hours would suck so hard. Level 40 efreeti cycle and bees sounds dreadful. Pulling spirocs at level 40 might get you the whole island every time. If the changes allow you to land more spells on the dudes than maybe but it would be quite the grinder. If you did it in instance you could...

    Also, it's an order of magnitude easier to go hard during the opening through the weekend than stretch it out over a couple weeks of casual play. If you can set aside some big blocks of time when literally everyone is leveling it's a big time saver.

    Mischief has extra random loots on all named and all raid targets on top of being free-trade. That means almost nothing has the No Drop tag. That was a new ruleset and it was/is really popular. Yelinak is going to have a ton of people at launch. Zones automatically spawn additional instances or...

    Does anyone know how many points a LDoN awards at 40 on normal and on hard? Also, once you have enough points can you buy an item you want regardless of your own level? If we pretend that the "Recommended level of 58" text just does not exist on this item can a level 40 character do a bunch...

    Nothing about the server makes it look like something you can just pop in to and mess around with. To get anywhere you're going to need to be in an organized guild and that guild is going to need goals and a plan. If you're some casual that dings 40 the week after launch what do you even do...
