Necros apparently get progressively worse to where they can't be stacked in modern eq because of too many dots, and most fights take too long to ramp up to max dps, and terrible in groups.

You think you're casual?

90% of the eq forums are mediocre people who wish they were all stars and blame anything except their inability to get better at an easy game. He went pretty easy on the "I'm a casual who wants to do literally everything but totally am casual" retards.

I have seen solutions like bid caps that are then broken by attendance tiebreakers to put an upper limit on hoarding need, item price breakdowns as mentioned, scaling decay on dkp (think a democratic tax policy), or just item reservations. Every instance of that I saw appeared to carry drama...

Imagine you get done leveling to 60 and are ready to start raiding. You camped schw for haste and quested soee and then paid a dozen krono for the acrylia 1hs so you could really kick ass. You pop a tov instance and it takes you the entire given timer because dps is so low but you win. Vulak...

Rezzing isn't a big deal. It kind of matters in places where only 1 char dies and its a pita to get them back vs clicking them back, arguably evac might be preferred to this. For xp you can just pay for some later or suck it up. I have literally not rezzed myself as a cleric because it was...

This is completely true. Also in the reverse, expect to be super disappointed if you copy a bunch of people here without taking into account how your group works. Grimling forest for example: pulls tend to be a lot at once, named are mostly from the furry raid stuff or by AC entrance, it's kind...

They made a tiered system, which the first time you do it seems cool because there is such a clear progression... but then you quickly find everything before it obsolete. You unlock the mid tier zones and quickly abandon empty ones, then elementals and stop xping outside them. You get to...

Him being Risikio makes a LOT of sense. Also answers the question of "what would this ignorant blowhard be like around less moderation?" Locnar I assume is the same name on the daybreak forums, and equally out of touch with awful ideas (if less spam) there too.

Good. DBG should be releasing the best rulesets they can; if it kills a server, that server wasn't worth it anyway. Coirnav was just a bad phinny clone in the first place so nothing of value is being lost.

They need to release a fv falsebox 6mo unlock server just to get those folks off the real ones. Call it the qeynos sewers server.

Not only is there a variable amount, there is also the likely 20th bonus which could be 100% or could be something else arbitrary or could be excluding these 2 servers. This is before shit like zone crowding and hostile neighbors while trying to grind. My premade has a druid so after 26 we can...

Assuming your guild was making wdc go to dps and bcg to necros then dot classes... playing a cleric in classic eq was fucking lame. There was very literally nothing worth chasing except a retarded shield you would be swapping out next expansion still. You need a ton on raids, especially sky, but...

I enjoy the roleplayers when I get a bacon wrapped turkey leg and play archery tag at the ren faire. They're fun. In everquest, roleplayers are generally horse shit at the game and/or deliberately playing poorly on purpose as an act. On paradox plaza "roleplaying" is the term used for people...

I play the 50th anniversary edition. Germany is fine in 1941. Ive only ever played where the UK had its dudes in egypt and also in SA and your homeland.

Earning xp is far more interactive than skilling up. The actions that result in xp also result in other outcomes, either quest completion or a dead monster to check for loot. Skilling up is the result of a simple action, often a single button click. Tradeskills, being the result of investment...

I can't enjoy a good game of axis and allies unless I can hear the shower running and smell the oven on.

The joy of accomplishment has to be tempered with some kind of investment in it. A "thank god this is over" feeling only goes so far. People feel good about finishing allying a faction, but feel a lot more accomplished at completing a long quest or getting a rare drop. Skillups, being amongst...

If you do not enjoy grinding the same things over and over in a group, do you magically enjoy the same thing in a raid? Do you magically not mind it on a different character? If you have a classic start with fast xp and long unlocks, your options are either wallow in the same grinds or quit the...

Everquest Guides Allakhazam has also started working on progression wikis and their shit tends to be the most comprehensive, but their site currently has the clap until some dude gets back from vacation or whatever.

Ok. What about not doing any of the first part and leaving in aocs, and just having a single "spawn day" each week where it insta respawns any dead motm mobs? You still get your instances and normal stuff but each week at whatever time you also get that race.

Ask your guild or guildmates on their discord for a static. I'd give the same advice to amtrakkers. If you do it here you could end up crossing streams and having to split up then both pug. Tailoring is still gonna be the usual wus route, then probably luclin stuff after. Level somewhere with...

The all-around strong one is cleric. Charm pets tend to be high dps, high max hp, awful mitigation. CH is a godsend. You also have THE most desired raid class to compliment your shit-raid-stacking one. Necro, druid, and mage all bring something good. If you charm their specific type, you now...

So I have this ridiculous idea for a hardcore eq experience I want to run by you all before I pitch it. I got good feedback on my level capped post-classic idea here, this is different and IMO better... Remove all AOCs. Remove the ability for MOTM flagged mobs to respawn or for instances to...

I expect dbg is meeting on it today. If that results in their cs relaying anything, enforced silence, or follow up scheduled prior to that? No idea.

Give it time. You haven't seen our final form...

Oh so they are foh posters, cool.

LoY also included a lot of nice upgrade features that are now packaged into eq. It meant a lot more at the time because of all the QOL stuff. Now? I think it should release with level 60 stuff to have a chance of relevance.

My guess is they "compromise" and do more of that scaled unlock where like its 3mo if a level increase but stays 1mo if not, something like that. What they should do is just show a metric (we all know exists) where server pops dip as expansions progress and tell all the people yammering to go...

Guees I have to hit up test and experiment, which is lame as fuck.

The issue is hacking. You can't see someone first when they have maps and scripted alerts for other players. You can't see them first if they go from zone in to instantly on top of you using harmtouch, and even IF you somehow survive this they can warp out just as quickly. Discord had this and...

Amtrak and faceless are going to be the hardcore guilds that race and try for firsts and have way more loot than anyone. Who is better or will win is a debated matter for now. If you liked faceless before you should probably have a good time here too.

Beastlord gets a nice distinction of being always good at soloing, stacks pretty well in raids, and is usually ok in groups. Shaman similar boat, imo a slightly better group but less raid-stacking deal here. Not sure how lazy you want though. These are the "always good at all 3 aspects in all...

You actually understand the problem I think. He is bringing up stupid shit from so far in the past that TS was very normal back then.

My understanding is they are basically "turned on" and then disable after x time. The problem is if they are on or off. My guess is with droga force-reverted the pre nerf cos should be in (post nerf in fm still). The rest are who knows. They may even say they are in and screw that up.

Don't be that guy! A certain TL ranger is the biggest reason I joined the guild too. Your class sucks but theres some hope... Make yourself the tank, puller, or both.

I don't clear out saved screenshots. So anything I took on my current pc is there. If I get a new one and move all my personal files over, I will still have them. Nothing strange about it.
