    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I've wondered a few times what EQ would be like if they had never been able to raise boss HP above 32k. If they were planning for the future they could have started low, like maybe Naggy has 5k instead, and go up from there. If they were just going from our timeline only without the raise, I'm...

    Dark Souls

    After a few more fails on Four Kings, I went back and did all the stuff I skipped in the game (I skipped a LOT of NG++ when going for the plat). This got me a ton of levels. Put it all into Faith and the Zweihander is doing a lot more damage, was able to get Four Kings down to about 25% a...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I took one semester of code in High School (this was in like 1999, I wanted to learn how to make games like FF7 and EQ). Not gonna lie, I frequently wish I would have taken that career path. Coding is like a super long math problem that needs to be solved and re-solved and it would have been a...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yeah I don't care about bragging rights (to the air because nobody cares what difficulty I'm playing on except me), I'm too old for that shit. If a game only has one hard difficulty, like a From game, I play it as intended and I usually have a lot more fun than if it were easy. However with...

    The asexual misanthrope thread - where Mist has something to add

    Cool, I didn't even know this was a thing. Not sure if I want to mess around with my hormones, but I'll certainly get my T checked since I've got such a vastly-diminished physical drive the last few years. Could also be a general un-treated depression type deal that I don't even know I have...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Because before, the global file of the game was basically full. As I understood it, this is why changes to one server had to be across all servers. I remember there being several changes TLPers wanted that "couldn't be done" because doing so would have to also place the same changes across all...

    The asexual misanthrope thread - where Mist has something to add

    Is there a specialized doctor for this kind of thing or does a general practitioner actually do it? Is it an ass injection like the 'roids?

    Hmm, not a bad idea. It's been a while.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    People doing Hero's Journey at appropriate level (rather than the current paradigm of a few completionists doing it at like level 110+) would be really interesting. It's basically a "story mode" of EQ that has been 99.5% ignored.

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I'd like to check out the Halas area since snow areas are my favorite type of game level theme. How feasible it is to get there on an Iksar SK who started in Neriak? Can I run there in my travels without getting nuked by KOS racists? Would I be better off just starting a new character with Halas...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I got to a decent level in this recently (can't remember what level) and was surprised at how fast the levels FLEW. However I also found myself pretty bored compared to normal EQ. Without the nostalgia component (having never really gotten into this when it was current) I also don't know how...

    Everquest Nerd Rage Logs

    This is basically what happened with me in LGuk a couple weeks ago. Guy shows up in my camp, loses a DPS race on Frenzy, does a bunch of name calling in tells because he "was there first" which doesn't make any sense because I'd been there for hours. Frenzy spawns again, I beat him in another...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    So, the reason we never got a Metroid Prime Trilogy HD is because they were saving them for individual releases. Smart from a financial standpoint. Chances are these remakes will be a lot more visually upgraded compared to a general HD trilogy port, since they're one per disc instead of all 3...

    Yeah, Okada was sposed to hit him with a Rainmaker, which White would pin him off of after sending Okada out. Instead Cole fell down before the Rainmaker and White ended up pinning him off of...nothing, really. Makes Cole look really weak to the general audience so that's unfortunate. AEW is...

    Fairly sure that's the plan. Personally I really wanted Santana and Ortiz to get a run, and this summer would have been the time to do it, but instead TK had a boner for the Hardys (they were almost assuredly gonna win the titles a couple weeks ago). Santana and Ortiz are also their own can of...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Couldn't play for a few days, anything interesting happen? Also is it safe to say that the Vaniki ruleset would be impossible without the 64 bit change? Re: Stuns... I think a bunch of guilds have figured out how OP stuns are on Vaniki, so the cat's out of the bag and non-BR guilds are getting...

    The asexual misanthrope thread - where Mist has something to add

    A friend of mine who is a feminine lesbian said she grew up watching mostly feminine programs and was very girly. Then she started watching the Pokemon cartoon and realized she was way more into the female characters visually than the males, which led to her realizing she was full-on gay. Yes...

    The asexual misanthrope thread - where Mist has something to add

    I know the feeling. I had a tremendously fun Puerto Rican girlfriend, about five years younger than me, in 2013-2014. Lasted about 3-4 months over the winter. She was interested in everything I was, liked traveling with me, and just made everything so -easy- in a way no one else has. She was...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Can always turn it down to Easy. I ended up doing that in whatever chapter the sewer is (13 maybe) after the mega-rat beat me a few times. If you're going for the plat, the second playthrough is gonna be on Hard either way, but by then you know what you're doing and have all the...

    Joker (2019)

    I know people who never watched Joker because of all the mainstream media propaganda about not going to see it because it glorifies toxic masculinity and right-wingers will probably bomb the theater. I've never seen anything like that before, the media trying to hurt a freaking movie's sales...

    Missed this one but I'm going to watch it some time this week. Sounds like it got 10 out of 10s from everybody in the review department. Really cool that Moxley is gonna get his title run in front of crowds, finally. Also it looks like it was a near total AEW shutout of NJPW, which is a...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Yes. SK can snipe Nec/Shm if Harm Touch is up. Other than that, it's only chanter and maybe wizard/mage that are any kind of threat to poison dotters. At least, in my experience. A good wizard who knows how to optimize casts, with Kunark+ spells, can probably hold their own.

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

    I hate that shit. Anyone remember the Everlore site from back in the day? I used to go on there to look up pictures of NTOV dragons and stuff, see the things I was missing out on because I was stuck at level 56 or whatever I got to in 2001. Well, every goddamn dragon....EVERY SINGLE ONE...had a...

    There isn't any. He might be thinking of a bunch of groups / trios etc that soloed naggy before then, at 60, which is why they lowered the cap to 52.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    When has Natimbi ever gotten this much use before? It usually gets skipped right over on TLPs. The way it's actually useful on this server is a lot like how a TSS start server would be with a bunch of its zones. Places like Blightfire and Stone Hive would have all kinds of interesting things to...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    This is really good for the work required. I'm going to get this done. Hopefully the hynid drops aren't ultra rare. In other news, I like how laid-back this server is with deaths. Nobody gets mad about them like on other servers. Here's where our cleric died and it ended up being more funny...

    What's the story with Techno? Iksar monk right? What level did he solo Nagafen at? What era / gear level? I've soloed Nagafen on a 52 SK... with full Intricate gear (added in TSS? era and roughly NTOV-level) and the upgraded Harm Touch of live that does like 12k damage at 52. Also heal pots...

    TEB's an unstoppable juggernaut on Aradune, yeah. They're like what OGC was on Phinny after Wild Treasures broke up in Solteris. EoE, CoC, Reso, couple smaller guilds all tried to compete on different levels, EoE most successfully, but OGC was four-splitting things on day one in Secrets of...

    Was Combine ROI's origin server? For whatever reason I was under the impression that they started on Test or live and did their own progression thing. Like stopped at particular levels and continued when they were ready, sort of thing. Maybe I'm thinking of Faceless on Test. My memory ain't...

    Yeah same here. I bet this does indeed describe a lot of people here, including me to an extent. I was in the top guild on Prexus/Rathe for five years or so back when I was reading the drama, so slightly better than 71st. However my guild had a monopoly and thus lacked any real competitive...

    I've had pretty terrible luck on drops. I got all of the quest gear from earlier in the thread, and all of the available Natimbi gear, very quickly. Unfortunately I ran into a few roadblocks with other things dropping. Ended up giving up and buying a bunch of things on Bazaar to fill things out...
