    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    Leveling 51-60 if there is not a bonus exp holiday during the Kunark launch is going to suck and leveling alts outside of bonus exp holidays is going to suck. If you don't care about either of those things and haven't played EQ in a while it's fine.

    Annihilation (2018)

    I get that she was manipulating them to go forward but I think the actual plan was to go to the lighthouse and then follow the shore out rather than walk back the way they came? I'm not watching it again though.

    Annihilation (2018)

    Alright, so the goal is to get to the lighthouse, look around, and get out. At one point some of the people want to turn back and Natalie tells them that it's 2 days to the lighthouse and 6 days back the way they came. Once they get to the lighthouse they can follow the shore and get out that...

    Annihilation (2018)

    I'm surprised how much I didn't like this. I would have said that the movie would have been better with minimalist dialogue but then the last act had that and I didn't like that either. Visually interesting, not much else.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Oh yeah, for sure. I suspect there's a bunch of people that like super twinking their characters in era specific equipment as vanity projects. It's not like the auction house is full of Velious raid loot either for those dragons all dying the second they spawn.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    It's more than just Test. I've got a couple whatever characters on FV that I use to refresh myself on old content. I don't think I've ever seen a raid target alive even down to trash like Gorenaire and Venril Sathir.

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    You are correct sir. I cannot. In addition to my own being of a gigantic pussy these servers are so much better when there's truckloads of people playing. If Coirnav ends up with a great population than huzzah for everyone playing there. I know Phinny was incredibly popular and people had a...

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    I would like one of these servers to be ordered in such a way that people felt like they could pick most anything at launch and still progress at a worthwhile speed. The highly competitive nature of the last few of these servers has resulted in basically every trick or tactic getting exploited...

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    Compared to day 1 / day 2 of Ragefire, Lockjaw, Phinny, and Agnarr it's not even close. Coirnav is dead last and by a lot.

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    The first character I made started with triple newbie items (three bags, three lanterns, three newbie notes, etc). If that was happening I could see people getting extra shit out of the store. If people could have just straight bought infinite pots I think they would have restarted the whole thing.

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    It's early and this is going to be controversial but I am declaring Coirnav stillborn. The exp, even during the holiday, is mediocre. It's day two and a Saturday and newbie zones have a fraction of the numbers that LJ, RF, Phinny, and even Agnarr commanded. The representation of mage crews in...

    The Netflix Thread

    Your recommendation got me to watch it tonight and it is indeed great. You get a really good look at a couple hyper successful sociopaths and how they warp the people around them. I had always thought that payday loans were just loans at bonkers interest. I had no idea that one of the largest...

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    My napkin math has it at almost exactly Agnarr. edit - it's early but the population looks to be the lowest of these servers. There's only one extra instance of Tox spawned (and it was empty) and only two of North Qeynos. Even this shittier part of the world was packed on Agnarr and that...

    Luclin's about halfway done on Agnarr. You could make an Iksar Beastlord there today, take advantage of the bonus experience, still raid a bit in Luclin if you wished, and then have all of PoP to look forward to.

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    Every character has a default layout but you can assign points yourself if you wish. Most of the defaults are fine but I think every tank maxes stamina. If you want more Int on a SK for example you'll have to do that yourself at creation.

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    I was thinking about this a bit more and while the class isn't especially difficult on a TLP there's a couple small things that can really hinder your enjoyment. The first thing is your defense skill. It's really easy for all the casters to let this atrophy if you are leveling primarily in...

    For group healing Druids are fine. They get Superior Healing at level 44 these days. The days of spamming Greater Healing until level 52 are over.

    They are also account bound. Their existence has an immediate effect on a fresh server as people are going in with a bunch of them already. Their secondary market value ranges fluctuates from like 8 to 13 dollars. I've never gotten burned buying them as a means of saving a couple bucks on a...

    The super popular zones are going to be worse. The super unpopular zones are going to be better. My tinfoil hat says they made more negative changes than positive changes or the scale of the negative changes was greater than the positive changes.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, it's like 1000 per quest or something. I try and take someone I still need to level when I do world quests and then throw them back into missions when I'm done. The cost to assign and unassign someone as your combat ally is almost nothing.

    It's sounding like Unrest, Mistmoore, Hole, Lower Guk nerfed while Blackburrow, Splitpaw, Cazic Thule, Sol A buffed. Information is sparse.

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    I know Phinny was a huge success but for me it was really bad. I've leveled at least one character to max on Sleeper, Ragefire, Lockjaw, and Agnarr so it's not like I haven't played on these servers but Phinny was just unpleasant. I couldn't do it. At Phinny rates if you aren't doing the best...

    That should put the exp rate at something like LJ/Ragefire during their launches. I know everyone's tolerance for grinding is different but I couldn't handle Phinny exp at all. I gave it a go on two separate occasions and burned out both times. I'd highly recommend having your Classic leveling...

    The only different rare/mythic between the two boxes was one Tree of Redemption swapped for one Jace the Mind Sculptor.

    Hearthstone

    Spring set + rotation is as good a time as you'll get to hop back in. The cards you buy will be Standard legal for the longest amount of time possible. Conversely it is unlikely that while on your deathbed you'll wish you had spent more time and money on Hearthstone.

    Freeport is better given it's closer proximity to raid targets. If you really like GFay for the first few levels you can just leg it over there and bind yourself with a soul binder in the opening minutes.
