Contemplating my trio now myself. Pally for dungeon crawls seems a must (tank/puller with lull, side heals, and hp buffs is hard to beat). Was going to go Pally, Sham, Rogue. Seems like the pally/sham are the constant with rogue, wiz, nec or whatever for dps. Not sure if there is an...

Rogue is boring af to play as your main.

The most fun I've had on an EQ emu server in recent memory is when me and two buddies made an ideal full group of 6 (we each 2-boxed) on TAKP. We started as totally untwinked newbs and took our time, hitting every single original trilogy dungeon on the way up the levels. We made it a point to...

I hate lines/crowds/waiting lists and like to mix solo and group stuff. A server with a steady 600ish weeknight pop is way better for my purposes than a server with a 1200ish pop. I haven't played on blue in many years because it just got to be stupid having to wait in line to do anything-...

Blue Pan Pizza Highland Tap (burgers/craft brews) Uncle (ramen) All located within a mile or so of each other in a cool part of down

Funny, that reasoning is why I'm about to go blue

Anyone have a link to Titanium that they could PM me? Would be much appreciated. Edit: Got one- thanks

It made it to live servers briefly. Was very cool. People learned pretty quickly now to grief with it tho. I remember popping up as a kobold in the Warrens and going way far in, hitting another kobold, and starting a giant train that wiped out a couple Erud groups. There was a mob level...

Bards were kings of being annoying. They could rarely kill you, but a good one could make most classes zone in 1v1.

Yes, but... In my experience this is generally what working at a game company is like. All the "enthusiasm and excitement" fade pretty fucking fast once the actual work starts, and then it's just long hours, slow progress, limited results, and delayed payoff.

Didn't read thread. Don't go- bears will fucking kill you.

Just rewatched S01 again (first rewatch) after having just rewatched the original movie (also first rewatch). I think the first season of Fargo is probably the closest thing possible to a "perfect" season for a show.

I have zero problem with powerful characters who are women. I despise powerful women characters.

Not going to be diverging much from the majority here but: Best Action/Adventure- Fury Road. People have already mentioned how amazing the movie is at "show don't tell." I'll add that the editing is super tight. Watching it I didn't think there was a single second of film that should be cut...

Tbf, I've never seen anyone playing an MMO "look like" they were enjoying themselves.

If you post a game trailer you should be required to state if it doesn't show gameplay so we can save our time and ignore it.

The guy had a vision for the world that he wanted to build and he lived to see that vision become a reality. In that way, he was a very lucky man. Moreover, the realization of his vision became an enduring legacy that has provided joy and entertainment for hundreds of thousands of people over...

Sure you can. The form I'm referencing is a legal and prescribable treatment drug here in the states. Read the wiki. Yes, keta has been used for years and years as a recreational drug ("special K"), but like a lot of other drugs that are used recreationally, there are legit therapeutic uses...

Disclaimer: not a medical professional, but I've spent a lot of time professionally (about 12 years) working with people who are dealing with things like depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc. I make a lot of assessments/referrals, talk to a lot of doctors about treatment, treatment plans, patient...

Mind relinking the second build? Doesn't seem to work (first one does though). What a great site btw (system builder).

Suppose I could always just upgrade the PS pretty easily. Here is my alternate. Not sure about the processor, but everything else looks decent- and better case/. Chronos - SkyTech Gaming

Need advice from techies: Asus - Gaming Desktop PC - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8-Core 3.6 GHz), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super (8 GB), 16 GB DDR4, 512 GB SSD, AMD B450, Windows 10 Home 64-bit, GL10DH - Newegg.com Seems like a good deal? Looking for a budget gaming rig (I mainly do RPGS/RTSs).

Looking for a little tech advice before black friday ends. Looking for a budget rig (around 1k). Spent a lot of time on newegg assembling a pretty good (as far as I can tell) set up, but then I found this: Asus - Gaming Desktop PC - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8-Core 3.6 GHz), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060...

First 50 was an enchanter... That makes sense.

Well that's a testament to the difficulty of a brand new truly classic server. Really surprising, actually. I'm sure at least a few people are taking turns playing characters nonstop in shifts. I wonder how long it took for the first character to hit 50 when Live released back in 99. I have...

Well, at least he isn't actively escorting anyone across the border. Unless you count that plague rat

It's been said lots of times, but VG had some truly great design ideas (movement while casting, defensive/offensive targets, diplomacy, class design, upgradable pets, etc). But the game stands as a perfect example of what happens when you try to cobble a bunch of good ideas together without...

LD deaths... Man I had a lot of LD deaths. I can't believe how much time I spent looking for corpses in the Drachnid area of the Dreadlands. Still my least favorite mobs to this day.

It was a totally different game than EQ. I actually enjoyed that server for a while and it was pretty popular, but, like you mentioned, they changed mechanics in some pretty serious ways. Way more than just spells- they changed things with encounter lockouts, a combat status, increased ooc...

Not usually a fan of custom servers (though I've played on a few that were great), but seeing lines like that make me realize how much a custom original EQ server is needed. Just about every custom server I've played on either uses a client from well after the original trilogy or the admins...

Accidentally great typo

Speaking of a new red server, anyone making any concerted effort to get a board guild going for that server? Having an organized, planned guild to jump into from the get-go would definitely influence my personal decision to play a new server like that.

Nah item links weren't in for quite a while

Newbie zones were a fucking zoo for at least the first week when a new server opened on Live. Nukers have a huge advantage

I've noticed that you can definitely over engineer race/class equivalency in RPGs to the point that choice of race/class starts to feel pointless. It's not a bad thing for some races to lend themselves to certain classes (or playstyles)- in fact, it's a good thing. I think where you draw the...

Definitely the worst race/class starting experience in original EQ. I would be lying if I didn't admit I started an erud necro shortly after release and switched to another race/class almost immediately. When I rolled my necro it happened to be night.

Oh, they don't need water to do that.

TAKP was a blast and I (and lots of others) really appreciate all the work you guys put into it.

Fitting conclusion to one of the best series ever. They did it right. Two thumbs up on Arden's Overly Critical Movie Reviews. Reminded me of the Deadwood movie in what it sought to accomplish (and how well it pulled it off).
