Implementation is a bitch dog. None of these games... Until now probably started with the I intent that the game needs to be designed to last for 15 years. I guarantee you EQ was designed to live for 3 to 5 at most. WoW was maybe designed around 10 years. Remember eq was 5 years old 2004.

Those quirky elements give the game world so much flavor. Designing them out for "convenience" just makes it all so bland. It isn't like people chose only the races with good vision because of it. Due to how common Serpent Sight items were (relatively speaking) many people remember old EQ in a...

I tried to play World Order after I played DOOM 2016 last year when I heard how good it was. Couldn't get into it after the DOOM gameplay which was just way more fun to me.

I need to catch a break hitting up the Fire Giants hard. Major upgrades to be had!

I like this one too. Create a sea of AAs and only allow 10 of them to be active at any given time outside of the fluff ones.

I was wondering about that in Kedge Keep. I was all... I don't remember this place being so bright and clear. I dislike the modern vision of, "any loss of sight via nighttime darkness, water, etc is denial of service!" Come on!

Most monks are just killing Brother Zephyr for the robe.

It is pretty interesting to see now that we have multiple MMOs out there that have been around for a long time. Very obviously EQ was pioneering new territory and didn't foresee a lot of the long term effects that designed them right into a corner. Very much the same thing can be said for WoW...

While I understand that there are pitfalls to EQ's implementation of AA's. It doesn't mean that the system is inherently fucked. Look at EQ today and WoW... lots of the chase for people are FashionQuest cosmetic bullshit or flavor stuff. Have huge portion of AAs be fore flavor and the smaller...

AA's are probably the best incremental carrot to reward players for "limited" playtime ever designed for an MMO. Oh shit I can't play much tonight. But even solo or with one other guy I can play for an hour or 45 minutes and at least get an AA. Designing an extremely detailed AA system full of...

Totally. Now I question whether any of that was intentional considering most of the other good features of the game were accidents... haha.

More like DDOS him to keep him out of your camps. @Atabishi Dude you're hilarious, "I don't mess with people unless they mess with me." Translation: As long as you don't do shit and sit there passively while I KS whatever I can with my boxes I will not do anything to you. This is what you are...

But you're totally into KSing from camps with your boxes because you can out DPS them right?

The drama EQ creates is 90% of the hilarity!

Oh yeah. The Agent of Change spawns you right at the ledge to Phinny. Just the Swirlspine seahorses and the corrupted ones don't pop in that area.

Oh do Phinny. That would play awesome on the stream. Aaand half our raid just drowned. lulz.

I'm starting an alt Enchanter soon so I'll grind with ya!

I haven't had any issues in Kedge so with tainted seahorse. Just solo I go through to Cauldronbubble and Cauldronboil. Despite being underwater if you're careful it isn't too hard to avoid being overwhelmed.

What is your char name again?

Yeah I hope Pantheon can remember that. While people like us love to min/max sure. You don't need to design all items around the concept of min/maxing. Make the players that want to squeeze the most out of their stats figure out their shit.

A ranger alt JUST to farm Quilmane and AC huh?

As like a case study EQ itself is just fascinating in terms of game design. Supplant a Text based DIKUMUD right into 3 dimensions with spatial exploitation and see what the fuck happens. Classic Itemization (now that I am playing Agnarr) just SCREAMS Mud. Melee weapons with effects intended to...

Sure thing.

Camped out in Kedge last night for the Darksea Harpoon that was currently camped. Logged in this morning and there is one other druid opposite the came and is like level 43 or smth. I did nothing but sit there invis to avoid aggroing stuff as he killed fish. As I was doing other stuff in the...

The leveling really wasn't that bad at all. I didn't even play the whole weekend and got to 50 within like 2 weeks.

No he's a pretender. The real Lumie was alarmingly good at games... seemingly any game. Even though crazy as a whirlgig beetle.

I guess. I just have a real hardon for a TCG in an MMO shell. I like HEX but I am not really invested in it yet... comparatively.

I only do it once a week for the card pack. I won the game but damn.

EQ Epics worked well because they were primarily high utility items for key classes. Or just stat sticks for other and the quests were cool. The only ones that were totally and utterly required for their class in a lot of ways were Bard and Cleric. Bard is probably moreso just because SS...

Yeah bro. Sorry for response necromancy but my childhood revolved around commercial fishing. You missed the several days prep for the boat before a 2 or 3 week fishing session? Yeah get fucked. Way too much work to be done and not nearly enough time allotted to halt the boat for your bitch ass...

I abandoned that shit with the army. Code is checked in and reviewed before X date and you did it at 11PM at home the night before? Looks good bro, I'll be in the office at 2PM... maybe.

Fuck this brawl... Like most brawls it took FOREVER with all of the hallucinates. Motherfucking warrior played Wickerflame Burnbristle 6 god damn times.

Almost have 200 Alchemy! @ZyyzYzzy Potion bitch at your service sir.

Seems to me.... WTF is the point of an MMO of a card game without a card game?

In all honesty. What is a meaningful way to prevent poopsockers from consuming all content without timesinks? While the VT timesine was bullshit mainly because there were AAs to get and you had to choose killing greys to get shards for your key. If they were actually places to get EXP It'd...

Some dudes in the tunnel are obviously doing it. I just am not sure how. I read that it requires some .ini file fiddling.

I lost the first game to a Shaman who basically had an constructed elemental deck in Arena. He even had thalnos, 2 maelstroms and 2 lightningstorms. I then won 10 in a row before I lost to the mages. The mages beat me with a combination of blizzards, meteor and polymorph at the right time...
