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.

I've used portable mode maybe 20% of the time with Switch, but I actually love that it's available. When the PS4 came out there was a lot of talk about how it'd have remote play features with the PS Vita, and I was stoked to be able to take a game with me portably if I needed to go get on a...

Returning? 50 Necro LFG for a potion burn later tonight, if anyone's got room. Finally have time to really get into this (on the last day of the bonus, lawl). Have Splurt, will travel. Will group with either version of Faceless, I am whore. PST.

That makes sense. It sounds like the hardest part of an Arcane run for me will probably be the same as the Bloodtinge run: The BSB fight. Can't get the weapon I want until after that, and that fight is a bit of a road block for me for whatever reason. I know about throwing vials to lure him and...

Yeah, Miragul was an odd idea that no one really asked for, and all it succeeded in doing was splintering off some of Phinny's population. It was a House of Thule launch, right after Phinny finished with House of Thule. So basically one guild that was having issues with VoA and wanted to stay in...

Out of stocks at the moment, but I noticed AMC (bought at $10 and sold at $13 IIRC) has been hovering in the 45-65 range OUTTA NOWHERE lately. Man.

A few OGC are playing on Shadowfax. I know this is very much a "the journey, not the destination" game, but I found the leveling speed very slow originally and can't imagine doing it at half of that. Unless it's been upped since then. I also played this a lot without membership/"rested" exp...

Krono Update: Just popped on and sold one for 14k within 5 seconds. Then got an offer of 25k right after that, but I'm done selling. The. Fuck.

TSS through RoF is my favorite stretch of EQ, by far. GoD is also pretty great, though after that the level 70 era goes on for a bit too long. By the time TSS drops it's like a revelation. It's too bad so many people don't want to play past PoP, either because they have preconceived notions...

Yeah, I'm wondering how Mischief is going to look on later expansions with standardized loot. Pretty much everything from TBS or SoF onward has completely standardized tiers of gear. I think TSS will be like the last hurrah for Mischief being all that interesting. It's an amazing ruleset for the...

I once GOT beaten up by a single Navy lieutenant. A female one. She was a Latina and really wanted to fight and I didn't really know what to do with that so I didn't fight back, just blocked a lot. TBH even if I had fought back I think she would have won though

*moves to El Salvador* *El Salvador immediately nosedives into a great depression*

Since people are saying 11k, I popped on and sold one krono as a test, 12k and got two tells within a few seconds. Probably could have gone higher. This is some seriously accelerated pricing.

I was waiting for the punchline, but it turned out to be unexpectedly heartwarming.

This is tiresome.

If Zaide and Sieger confirmed it, that's credible enough for me. Good news is hardly anyone knows what it is so it hopefully won't disrupt the server too much before it gets fixed. Once it's fixed people will be able to talk about it more loosely.
