    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Upper guk is 2nd after unrest in xp, but it has issues with mobs having a wide level range and is a lot more difficult to keep pull volume down. Sol A is your best xp in the 20s but because its a ton of casters and fire resistant and/or unrest is #2 and you're probably already there, it gets...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    I like to think of myself as the Tony Romo of eq. I may have been a mediocre player but my commentary is top notch!

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Did they? I am under the very specific assumption that things like dire maul or naxx and its associated quests and factions are in from day 1. Am I wrong?

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    In my longwinded posting I merged into selo shit, like paludal. My bad. My general argument stands though: leveling off hobos is still a problem, leveling places with useful items is still helpful, and its all still a balance between how much lost xp vs how much it boosts you.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    If there are a number of potentially good locations and none of them are that much better or worse, going to the place that drops immediately useful gear is going to give you an advantage. Also a number of places where loot is so bad you can actually hamstring yourself - mages, necros, druids...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    It's the same leveling route as every other tlp has been? But with likely less hardcore competition on day 1? Go to unrest.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Necros apparently get progressively worse to where they can't be stacked in modern eq because of too many dots, and most fights take too long to ramp up to max dps, and terrible in groups.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    90% of the eq forums are mediocre people who wish they were all stars and blame anything except their inability to get better at an easy game. He went pretty easy on the "I'm a casual who wants to do literally everything but totally am casual" retards.

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    I have seen solutions like bid caps that are then broken by attendance tiebreakers to put an upper limit on hoarding need, item price breakdowns as mentioned, scaling decay on dkp (think a democratic tax policy), or just item reservations. Every instance of that I saw appeared to carry drama...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Imagine you get done leveling to 60 and are ready to start raiding. You camped schw for haste and quested soee and then paid a dozen krono for the acrylia 1hs so you could really kick ass. You pop a tov instance and it takes you the entire given timer because dps is so low but you win. Vulak...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Rezzing isn't a big deal. It kind of matters in places where only 1 char dies and its a pita to get them back vs clicking them back, arguably evac might be preferred to this. For xp you can just pay for some later or suck it up. I have literally not rezzed myself as a cleric because it was...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    This is completely true. Also in the reverse, expect to be super disappointed if you copy a bunch of people here without taking into account how your group works. Grimling forest for example: pulls tend to be a lot at once, named are mostly from the furry raid stuff or by AC entrance, it's kind...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    They made a tiered system, which the first time you do it seems cool because there is such a clear progression... but then you quickly find everything before it obsolete. You unlock the mid tier zones and quickly abandon empty ones, then elementals and stop xping outside them. You get to...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Him being Risikio makes a LOT of sense. Also answers the question of "what would this ignorant blowhard be like around less moderation?" Locnar I assume is the same name on the daybreak forums, and equally out of touch with awful ideas (if less spam) there too.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Good. DBG should be releasing the best rulesets they can; if it kills a server, that server wasn't worth it anyway. Coirnav was just a bad phinny clone in the first place so nothing of value is being lost.

    They need to release a fv falsebox 6mo unlock server just to get those folks off the real ones. Call it the qeynos sewers server.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Not only is there a variable amount, there is also the likely 20th bonus which could be 100% or could be something else arbitrary or could be excluding these 2 servers. This is before shit like zone crowding and hostile neighbors while trying to grind. My premade has a druid so after 26 we can...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Assuming your guild was making wdc go to dps and bcg to necros then dot classes... playing a cleric in classic eq was fucking lame. There was very literally nothing worth chasing except a retarded shield you would be swapping out next expansion still. You need a ton on raids, especially sky, but...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    I enjoy the roleplayers when I get a bacon wrapped turkey leg and play archery tag at the ren faire. They're fun. In everquest, roleplayers are generally horse shit at the game and/or deliberately playing poorly on purpose as an act. On paradox plaza "roleplaying" is the term used for people...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Earning xp is far more interactive than skilling up. The actions that result in xp also result in other outcomes, either quest completion or a dead monster to check for loot. Skilling up is the result of a simple action, often a single button click. Tradeskills, being the result of investment...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    The joy of accomplishment has to be tempered with some kind of investment in it. A "thank god this is over" feeling only goes so far. People feel good about finishing allying a faction, but feel a lot more accomplished at completing a long quest or getting a rare drop. Skillups, being amongst...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    If you do not enjoy grinding the same things over and over in a group, do you magically enjoy the same thing in a raid? Do you magically not mind it on a different character? If you have a classic start with fast xp and long unlocks, your options are either wallow in the same grinds or quit the...

    Ok. What about not doing any of the first part and leaving in aocs, and just having a single "spawn day" each week where it insta respawns any dead motm mobs? You still get your instances and normal stuff but each week at whatever time you also get that race.

    Ask your guild or guildmates on their discord for a static. I'd give the same advice to amtrakkers. If you do it here you could end up crossing streams and having to split up then both pug. Tailoring is still gonna be the usual wus route, then probably luclin stuff after. Level somewhere with...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    The all-around strong one is cleric. Charm pets tend to be high dps, high max hp, awful mitigation. CH is a godsend. You also have THE most desired raid class to compliment your shit-raid-stacking one. Necro, druid, and mage all bring something good. If you charm their specific type, you now...

    So I have this ridiculous idea for a hardcore eq experience I want to run by you all before I pitch it. I got good feedback on my level capped post-classic idea here, this is different and IMO better... Remove all AOCs. Remove the ability for MOTM flagged mobs to respawn or for instances to...
