I'm not sure which guild I should be in myself, there are people I like in both and GDKP is fun. Faceless Hollywood or Faceless Wolfpac?

I'm finding Rosemarinus useful not just because it does more damage with high arcane (and I don't need to mess with oil urns), but also because I can actually see what the mobs are doing through the cloud. Before, I took a lot of hits because Flamethrower obscured the enemies a bit. Lost Blades...

Maria's outfit is a great idea, I didn't think of that one. That and Rosemarinus are my new goals. Let's gooooo

It's surprising that Batista hasn't made it into Fast and Furious yet. And that Rock and Cena haven't been in the same movie. But yeah, I'm pretty tired of seeing Batista in everything. He's a mediocre actor and his politics suck (which is probably why he's getting so many big roles).

Yeah, Paarl wasn't easy. I mainly used the flamethrower on his mid-section and got a few staggers out of it. Got a goofy question: Is there any armor/appearance in this game that actually looks sexy on a female character? Inclined to say no. White Church Trousers (with nothing else on) looks...

You're right, it slipped my mind that we had guests when we did Mearatas right before the end of TBL. It's too bad the kill has any asterisk on it though, because as I remember it, 90+% of the people present were OGC. I think we had 5 people from Rosengard and 2 from Resolute there.

As far as the joint raids go... OGC has been raiding as a guild throughout. The joint raids have, with all due respect to Resolute, been overstated. OGC beat TBL and TOV in-era by themselves, with joint raiding happening later in the TOV cycle. (Edit: My bad, the last fight in TBL had guests)...

I agree with this somewhat. No disrespect to Selo folks, but Phinny had to last a lot longer to reach live. OGC has also beaten every expansion in-era, so it isn't simply a matter of waiting out the clock. Grand Slam achievement in Underfoot, Unfettered Emerald Excellence downed in-era. Had more...

To be fair, his wife is a Latina. If he'd said no to her he would have had to go anyway when his ambulance arrived.

I remember Asheron's Call. I never played it, but it was my backup plan when I was considering quitting EQ early-on. Most of the things I disliked about EQ circa 2000 were things that AC didn't have. So for a while there I was spending some time reading up on AC in preparation for switching...

Just got the Blades of Mercy alternate with Arcane scaling on it from a chalice dungeon. That's my favorite weapon in the game (I've never used the Whirligig or the DLC weaps though) and it's great to have it back. Had to get it to +6 to equip the Fire gem I had, but it's done. Would rather have...

Yeah, there was definitely a split attitude in Faceless Conquest. Some of leadership wanted to go at it with Amtrak, some of leadership didn't. A lot of the members, maybe even most of them, wanted to compete. I did, I think you did, etc. So we ended up in this weird fugue-state where the...

At least this time they can avoid making the mistake (IMO) of having the first movie end in a way that makes any kind of sequel tremendously inconvenient. A one-off Highlander remake? Bleh. A remake that sets up 1-2 sequels that tell a coherent story? That could be pretty good, actually...

Forget about Faceless and FXIV, I want to hear more drama about the Golden Rapists.

I wish I could brag about how great I am at EQ. I'm only varying degrees of mediocre, depending on how bad my ADHD is

Apparently Kurgan is going to be played by Batista in the reboot. Weak AF, but anyone is weak AF compared to Clancy Brown. I'm changing my avatar to recognize the one real Kurgan.

One thing I wish modern EQ would do better at is the sky. The sky is so incredibly boring in this game now. I remember in Kunark and Velious circa 2000, the sky looked better than it does ingame now. The sky got kind of boring after Luclin/PoP. I think GoD was the beginning of the "empty sky"...

The good thing about those days was that at least we REALLY appreciated the computer time when we got it. And when we finally got our own computers, like I did in 2001, it was such a joyous day. The downside to being able to just go out and get anything you want as an adult is that you don't...

Still +1 and +1, haven't been able to get into Hemwick Lane yet. IIRC there are a bunch of Twin shards there so I can hopefully get FS to +5 there. Depending on how fun this arcane run is, I might do the DLC again and Ebrietas etc. In the gun-only run, I only did mandatory bosses and booked it...

Right now ARC is 21 I believe, started at 14 because of Cruel Fate. I'll go get those gems next.

So stick to the Saw Spear for now until later? What's your suggestion for converting? I don't remember converting anything in my previous runs...I think I just stuck to whatever my early chosen weapon was throughout. Edit: I upgraded Ludwig's to +4 or +5, was that a bad move? Saw Spear and...

I've never used that myself, that explains it. So it's insanely OP? I'm guessing he got a visceral attack with it, but still, 75% of Father G's HP gone at once is ridiculous. We -skipped- the second and third phases. I just got past BSB and got Ludwig's Holy Sword. It's doing a lot less damage...

Ebrietas is sort of the big optional boss of the base game IMO, outside of Chalice Dungeons or Old Hunters. I didn't find the fight too bad the one time I did it, but I was also like level 150 or something ridiculous at that point because it was one of the last things I did. I probably had a ton...

IIRC I got to level 19 on one attempt and made the mistake of zoning into an instance that I didn't know how to zone out of. So as soon as I got into some trouble, I found myself stuck in that instance, running in a big circle until I had to just give up. Yeah, it was pretty sad. I thought the...

The good news is, factory reset seems to have fixed the problem. Cloud saves are working again, at the low cost of a FACTORY RESET Yeah. Let's hope the PS5 is smooth sailing from here.

Weird thing is, I don't remember having that much trouble with Father G or Amelia the first time I played. The absolute roadblocks were Cleric Beast and then BSB. Speaking of which, I just reached BSB and he absolutely whooped my ass several times. I stayed on his left, then stayed on his...

Yeah, it's definitely a clusterfuck. Nothing else is downloading at the same time. I'm pretty close to just doing a factory reset and re-downloading everything. However if I do that, I'll REALLY need the cloud server to get my saves back for the things I'm working on now, and if it isn't fixed...

That reminds me, one of the things I really liked about this game was how you can get titles/suffixes for not dying at all. I tried a few times to go for "The Immortal" but I kept getting to the 2nd-to-last title for not dying so I stopped. I think "The Immortal" is at level 20 but it might be...

Just had some REALLY weird stuff happen. I fought Father G a few times and lost, then decided I don't have time to be messing with this at the moment (I want to get to the Arcane-oriented weapons and gameplay which is why I'm playing it again, and I've beaten Father G many times). So I rang the...

My first character was also a Dark Elf. I somehow made my way over to Befallen at like level 6 and started killing things at the entrance, then promptly fell down the well and lost everything I'd gotten up to that point. It felt like the end of the world and I almost quit. Yeah, I was super...

I used the hand-drawn maps in the original instruction booklet for the game. They're close enough to the ingame layout to keep you from getting too lost in the starting town. Unless it's Ak'anon. Fuck Ak'anon!

Having an issue. Every time I try to fool with PS4 saves on the PS+ cloud, I get a "something went wrong with connecting to cloud storage" error message. It also says "can't calculate space" under the Cloud Storage (PS4) on the side of the screen there. I'm connected to the internet and...

Any suggestions for decent buyable caster gear to fill out slots? Largely unfamiliar with Kunark outside of the BIS stuff like Spirit-Wracked Cord. More interested in bazaar gear I can buy with a krono just to move on from outdated LGuk gear and be more useful. Edit: It'd probably help to post...

My God. I found the dupers.

Rivervale has crooked deputies, confirmed

I'll keep that in mind when I get to it. Just started the "Arcane build" run. Went Cruel Fate and took the axe and blunderbuss like I did the very first time I played the game (when it didn't work out). Should be interesting to see how I do with the axe compared to that first run where I had no...

Not removing the offender from the guild outright means it's probably someone in a prominent position.

Its left or my left? I didn't know that. I do fine with the first two phases, then get overwhelmed in the 3rd phase by its attack spam.

Yeah, it would have made its point clearer if the last panel were omitted. The last panel just makes it this heartwarming cartoon. Leave out the last panel and the joke is much more apparent.

Slathering Other Joe in green boogers while he went "I'm a Woodland Ranger" is about right for this game. I couldn't believe how completely ass-ugly the armor was half the time. You'd get an upgrade and be excited to check it out, only to find out that it made you look like you were covered in puke.
