Got a new laptop (16 GB ASUS with a 3050 and an i9 processor). The OLED screen is awesome (first time I've had that on a computer since 2014 or so) and the graphics card is holding up well with everything from EQ to PS2 emulation. Not worried about advanced modern graphics. Only issue is that...

And the Zerker is there to press Warcry. Looks like an optimum setup, I don't see any flaws at all. You doing Test raids?

What's the state of Rat Ears in 2024? Does the quest still work / give good EXP? How many stacks did it take to get a character to, say, level 15 or 20? I've got like 200,000 of them banked on some TLP server. No clue which and can't check because I'm not subbed and almost all of my servers are...

Didn't notice it somehow but now that you mention it... Is that ring loop for attaching it to a leash? Wow WTF. Thanks, that's what I thought. I played both Injustices a while ago and didn't remember this character at all, thought they added the chick from Peacemaker.

I went out of my way to do a lot of side stuff in the first 3 areas. Spent way more time in those than the last 3 areas. Around Gongaga I fell off and started mainlining the story for the remainder. Never beat Odin or did much of anything in Nibel region. Cosmo Canyon I did enough to get Bahamut...

Posted my Wacky Epic Server idea, we'll see how that goes. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/how-about-a-server-where-everyone-starts-with-their-epic-1-0.296850/ Right about now I think my ultimate 25th server would be Mischief 2.0, Kunark start, no box restriction, all...

Nope, nobody has kicked out of it in AEW. Kota Ibushi kicked out of it a decade ago since they were tag partners and knew each other's moves, and that's it. Someone hit Kenny with the OWA a while back and he kicked out of it at 1 and went nuts. Other than that, the OWA is the most effective...

Ranger x3 would probably be a better choice for ISBoxer DPS artillery battery than 3x zerker, plus you could get it going a lot sooner. Maybe I'll give that a spin

Two questions: Anyone know what game this is from? I'm gonna guess one of the Injustices. Also, is that blonde the agent that was on Peacemaker and played by Gunn's GF or something like that? Looks like it could be the same character.

I think there's something to that, I've noticed it too. Maybe blinking is some kind of defense mechanism? These people tend to be afraid of a lot of stuff. Also noticed a certain tone of voice is common that's like they're barely stifling a cry or anger or something.

It always amuses me how people outside top guilds talk about top guild raiding, calling them "no lifers" and whatnot. When top guilds on live usually get all their shit done in one raid night and have the rest of the week to have a life. TLP is a little different, some expansions necessitate a...

Yeah I don't think Sweet Baby Inc actually builds anything on the game dev front. Don't they just "advise" the actual developers on things to add / change to meet "modern standards" and so forth? They attach to existing projects and suck their life out like a Metroid. Not sure they actually...

Sounds like they just fixed it to the intended 10% increase, probably the best way to handle it. I think the focus decays quickly after level 100 but Necro epic is still good up until around then.

Did they fix the 2.0 and 2.5 effects stacking? And are there any other epics that cumulatively stack a 2.5 effect like that (I.e. any other classes where the 2.5 is a must)? Didn't even know that was a thing. Barely played DODH since live so the itemization of it is a blind spot. Lul, that...

IIRC it isn't that hard to get either. Sounds like it's even better than I thought as well. If one is running what I consider the holy trinity of 3-boxing (SK/SHM/BRD), that group really gets sick during OOW. All 3 epics are probably in the top five 2.0s.

Looking forward to a potential Dirge remake that fixes some of the problems with that game. Just changing the battle system to be like FF7R and CCR would fix a lot of the issues by itself. Always thought that game had a ton of potential to be good and failed in execution. It shows a lot of...

In Ogre Battle I would consolidate all of my strongest unit leader characters into one unit and then just steamroll everything with that one unit. Had an overflow/backup unit with a few more strong characters consolidated, and I'd leave that one guarding the base in case anyone slipped by...

For the weapon or the effect? Not familiar with BST 2.0 (or BST in general). IIRC the monk 2.0 and berserker 2.0 are both extremely good weapons for a while. Zerker 2.0 is BIS for the entire level 70 era and I didn't replace it until the Frostcrypt hammer four expansions later. Even then it...

Just had a crazy thought: A Kunark launch server where everyone starts with their epic 1.0 right out of the gate. Gotta be level 40+ for the quests, but it'd be easy enough to eliminate the required level (if they have one) and have a recommended level of 50 so they basically level up with you...

Yeah the Ranger 1.0 is wildly underrated. So useful in general compared to most of the others. Probably top 5 for 1.0s. I like the Bard 1.0 a lot because it takes the place of all of the instruments at once (and it's BIS for all of them in Kunark I believe, maybe also Vel/Luc, not sure). So it...

Bard is certainly one of the most skill-dependent classes though. Yeah you can do all of that if you're "on" all the time. There's no such thing as lazily soloing with a Bard though like you can with a Necro or Mage. That said, the craziest, most off the wall things I've ever pulled off in EQ...

Maybe we'll get Atabishi teaming up with Vicious to take on Faceless. Then Zaide and Sieger have to go out to the jungles of Cambodia to find their old foe AoS and try to broker an alliance. Echoes of Elysium pulls up and no one knows which side they're on, like the Cardassians in Deep Space Nine.

Probably the best Epic 2.0 out of all of them, too. Someone with Youtube talent should make videos ranking the epics and epic 2.0s, with their pros and cons weighed. Don't think anything like that exists on Youtube now. Off the top of my head I'd say the top four 1.0s are Cleric, Monk, Bard...

Meh, wasn't missing anything then. The Mario + Luigi spinoff on portables is probably where all the RPG went. Never bothered with those though. Too bad we never just got a straight Mario RPG 2.

Yeah, in Part 3 I fully expect Speaking of Part 3, when I was replaying the Yuffie DLC I realized that Nero was still around at the end of it and made off with Sonon. Didn't remember that at all, thought Sonon was gone. So we might see Sonon again in Part 3. The fact that Nero's still around...

I don't know anything about what Tyson is capable of now. Are people expecting this fight to be competitive? With what little I know I would expect Tyson to murder this dude, despite the age gap. From what I'm reading Jake Paul is somewhat legit and Tyson holds back a lot because there's a lot...

To be faaaair, all of those could easily be satellites in orbit. They seem to all be maintaining consistent speeds. If one slows down, stops, speeds up again, shoots off at high speed... that'd be pretty definite, but I haven't ever seen one like that on video, just described.

That would be an incredible superpower and I'd go for it myself at this point. I have family members telling me that prices are going down at the grocery store and "things are improving", based on absolutely nothing. They can't supply an example of anything going down, and everything is up. Gas...

ID EE does have assassin, monk, sorcerer. I think assassin is a rogue subclass and sorcerer might be a mage subclass. Monk is its own thing and had a couple weird subclasses I didn't fool with. You choose all of this on character creation. Unfortunately nope I never started any of these "for...

TLDR: The game is great and fumbles the last chapter, as I predicted weeks before it came out, based on the first one doing the same thing.

They remastering Thousand Year Door? Did they ever remaster the first Paper Mario? Maybe I can finally play those. Huge Mario RPG fan but didn't play the "sequels" because they looked so different.

Yarp, always used the default one. That would probably be a good workaround. What's the default command for that, Ctrl B? I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Yeah the touch screen bullshit was definitely hurting more than it helped. I switched that computer out for an ASUS with identical specs (most importantly, it also has an OLED screen), no touch screen, and an RTX 3050. This one runs EQ with no issue whatsoever, good framerate, crowds of people...

Game works, but I gotta say the performance is pretty bad. Kinda choppy framerate, stalls for a second fairly regularly when loading crowds of people...

Thanks, the last post in that thread worked, it's starting without issue now.

Potentially dumb question. Never had any trouble getting EQ to work on a new computer before. Moved the directory over to a new computer (didn't do an install) and was missing d3dx9_43.dll. No problem, got that and put it in the EQ directory. Now getting this message: What am I doing wrong...

The fact that they never show you the Viceroy's face is interesting and tells me that he's gonna be someone we know. Otherwise why not show him? So I got to running down the list of recognizable characters who are unaccounted for in the FF7 mythos as of the end of this game, and the list pretty...

Jesus, all these people have the same expression and dead eyes (yet oddly sparkly). It's like the fucking Pod People in here.
