    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    A lot of the changes they already made work well wrt spawn times and ground spawns. FTE kind of makes it dumb again, but at least with double loot for epic drops on vaniki, you had people working together even on annoying shit like vessel or verina tomb. I'm sure there is still room for...

    Painful. Here you have to decide if you want to spend your time watching 3 WARs melee the mob down or 2/3 ROGs constantly running back on a corpse run.

    Esp with selos mounts / sow pots the benefits of bard are slightly diminished. I was bard on live and go enc on TLP and I've never regretted it (except gear is boring).

    Second enc adds nothing except a second charm pet. Dealing with a second charm pet seems like more trouble than casting dots on the necro. You would just pay the local box crew to sit at the zone in and merk anyone who zones in.

    I like Aeth's idea of throwing different early tiers of defiant on the motm mobs for the first few expansions. Esp something like VP loot which doesn't make a lot of sense when epics are so easily obtainable.

    PvEvP. No AoC, no FTE, no play nice policy/train rules. Creatively use your environment to vanquish the foes (and the raid mob I guess if you can be arsed).

    On Oakwynd it seems like the big boxers mostly stayed in their DZs and didn't try to contest OW unless it was up for a while. Not sure how it went after the plat dupe era though since everyone stopped playing. On a random loot server, do you really still just sit in guk? I'd imagine the boxers...

    Doing GoD zones extremely underleveled was some of the best EQ in recent memory. As a player I don't give a shit if a server has 'mass appeal', I want interesting and challenging shit to do. It's too bad they had no idea what to do with later challenges/rewards. The first few unlocked were...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I am not sure how APs could trivialize already trivial raid content any more than someone just having an alt could? Cause it shortens the turn around time to swap? Esp with heirloom gear all it does is ease the swapping to a mirror/alt. It feels like the same conversation in WoW about allowing...

    I wonder if the people with these great ideas ever think of their 'mmo' being played by more than a group or two people at a time.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    You lose the legacy bonus when the level increase happens. So Luclin launch with 10 60s means 100% bonus XP for the AA grind for mirrors. After PoP launch, you lose all of your bonus and have to relevel all of those characters again before you can get the legacy bonus back. By the time they...

    PoP's bonus being +25% plat drops immediately following a plat dupe is hilarious. Also the AA shit being broken for the only period on the server's lifespan when it would actually matter (Luclin launch) and SoD coming out was too much for the poor little retarded Oakwynd to take. Mirrors /...

    I can confirm it's all pretty consistent with what I experienced. The game was only 'hard' because it was clunky. If the engine was fluid and the abilities weren't laggy, it would be trivial for anyone except mouth breathing retards. We held the 'super hard' undead camp with a single healer that...

    They extended the alpha week to add a stress test for all alpha testers today. Does anyone have a valid timeline of the last time they did a full 'reset' wrt engine/combat/etc? Feels like if this was a 2 year old project it would be on schedule.

    There is a town. Each of the classes have a little starting area in the town, but really only the spell vendor is of importance. There are a few quests, one to climb a wall and look at a tower, a bunch of gathering and then the 'carry heavy things to random people' quest line. I didn't dig...

    Kidney shot is level 30, but we do get between the eyes. Pick up between the eyes and saber slash asap (both easy) and that will help ease the lack of survivability. Also, check the AH for random trash greens for MH (or vendor whites if you're hard up, but most greens will be cheaper) by...

    The legacy bonus fuck up is hilarious at how big of a fuck you it is to the people who took the server seriously.

    Extra life loot and xp bonus was ridiculous. With 3x loot, RI did 4x Atens during the bonus for equivalent of 12 Aten kills in the first weekend. Now going back and doing anything feels as bad as going back to NO DROP after Mischief. It also looks like the legacy bonus isn't applying to AA...
