    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    Not sure about on TLP but i was amazed at how much harder the mage epic was than every other epic I've done. I think ive done everything but nec, wiz, enc, dru, pal and sk.

    The Astronomy Thread

    This is pretty cool. As a layman I always thought it made sense to make a ridiculously oversized plane that could yeet a rocket into low earth orbit. Musk isn't' the authority on all things aeronautical but even after reading his comments I'm curious as to why you can't make a plane big enough...

    What strategies/tricks do people have for getting logged in and staying logged in when the servers are trashed? On Live it seemed like the login server would go down more frequently than any of the game servers so when it goes down you just try not to get booted. It also seemed like the world...

    Lookin good, bud. Though i wouldn't use red for depleted endurance and mana. There are only so many colors to go around and you don't want it looking like a clown took a shit in your group window, but you also don't want to be distracted by a red bar when your group is full of health.

    I still to this day am impressed with what they accomplished in SS1. This was me when I first loaded up the beta or whatever in 2000 on my machine 20 years later many games still have problems with blurry textures and lots of rendered enemies. Serious Sam the SEcond Encounter had a really...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Just got a text from Holly, she says they fuckin' burned the servers down. Everyone's shit is deleted. They're going to roll out 10 new "TLP" servers starting at classic+kunark with 3x experience and 3x drop rates with 2 month unlocks. XP/drops go to normal when it reaches live.

    The idea of playing dress up with a charm pet and riding that line to real gear loss on a fuck up is super exciting. I haven't had the potentitial for gear loss in EQ in twenty years

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    Yeah that's what I've heard. I feel like there's a whole bunch of parsed data on charm pets, I just don't know which communities have it. TLP is so different from live, it's so competitive and nobody shares stuff publicly.

    This is my first TLP but from what people say sk/shm is one of the top duos for classic EQ next to mnk/sha and enc/cle. Yes you need 2 physical computers, fucking 2020.

    Yeah if Aradune turns out to be a bot-infested shit hole I'll really regret deciding to play on Aradune, which includes buying an laptop just to truebox. I'm optimistic though, on the basis that if that a single GM just randomly porting around testing people is really enough to put a huge dent...

    I was originally going to do enc/dru with the idea that dru provides ports, DD and power level capability. I switched to cleric with the idea that they'll be more efficient healers, have CH which helps with charmed mobs with huge HP pools and shite mitigation and I won't use their druid's DDs...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    problem with necros on live is: 1. The skill cap for a necro relative to everybody else, especially wizards/mages, is massive. Mages/wizards have a few things they need to account for to get decent DPS, necros have to balance several different spell-lineups. Only after playing 5x harder than...

    Was thinking about the previous posts about truebox detection and how you can exploit the truebox code to immediately log out: On truebox what happens when you try to log in two characters from the same PC, does it just instant boot you? I'm thinking about what I'm going to do on TLP and...

    Are there any resources that describe common gearing paths for classic as you level? Or do people pretty much limp to 50 in full groups on the backs of pets and charmed mobs and then start farming BiS items? I'm mostly just wondering if there's some really easy stuff to get when I find myself...

    Who knows. The game is super modable in a lot of ways but they are planning on releasing mod tools for it, so it's locked down in other ways. It's also in early access.

    One of the best decisions I made when trying out a 4x mage + enc + dru box team was setting up sweet explosion sounds for big hits and alliance fulminations (for those not on live, you cast a debuff on a mob and if a few other people of the same class cast their standard spell a couple times it...

    Im rolling a cleric, but why would you want to focus on a character that mostly stands up, heals and sits down? If you wanted to make a battle cleric that melees and tanks, make a paladin.

The big problem i have with bannerlord troop trees is the lack of variety mostly caused by lords still rolling with mostly t1 and t2 troops, but secondarily caused by the general lack of variety even at t4+.
