    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Couple relevant things for us in today's patch - Game Update Notes: February 20, 2019 | EverQuest Forums *** Miscellaneous *** - Dramatically increased the chance to gain skills when your current skill level is less than your class' skill cap from 5 or 10 levels less than your current...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's a skinner-boxian treadmill lacking the sufficient artistry that I require to pretend otherwise. The chores themselves that Blizzard has lined up for me to earn the different weighted pulls on the slot machine and earn my food pellet are not compelling. It's a different issue entirely but...

    Ghostbusters : Afterlife

    I'm sure they had Dan the Man from the word go. He's got writer/creator credits from the original so he gets a check if anyone goes to make another film. He's been beating the drum for more Ghostbusters movies forever. You probably also can figure that Ernie Hudson isn't going to be any kind of...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    I believe all bonuses and all penalties for all races and all classes have been finally purged? There haven't been penalties for a very long time and I think they just scoured out the few remaining small bonuses for warrior, rogue and halfling? You can pick a Troll SK or Iksar or whatever and...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    I don't remember anyone flipping out so it was probably nothing too crazy. Shave down a couple of the outliers a little and bump a few of the underused zones. I think Blackburrow got a big bump but that zone has issues with mob density and level variance. There's not really enough stuff to...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Hot zones are disabled. They monkeyed around with the ZEMs around the time Coirnav launched. I don't think there is a definitely list anymore of what they are. You'd have to go test different zones yourself if you wanted to see which was better/worse.

    That's why you sign up for a premade, get assigned the group with Mage/Mage/Necro/Beastlord and take your taunt key off the hotbar. Why drive when you can be driven?

    Luclin is where Rangers start to really come online and they're top top tier in Planes of Power. They're great.

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Card subject to change but right now Planes of Power unlocks on the 1st of May giving you six weeks of Luclin. After that LDoN and Legacy of Legacy are their own separate one month unlocks so it's psuedo three months of PoP. After that though it's off to the races.

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Something I wanted to bring up to everyone is how this server's previously unseen starting point of Luclin changes some of the classes. Unlike a Classic start we'll be able to buy (and research) spells from Kunark, Velious and Luclin and have access to some of those spells during leveling...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Beastlords are very good in general. Their pets are strong and there were some changes to pet aggro that did nothing but benefit them. Before with pets if a player was in melee range mob would always 100% no matter what attack the player. Now your pet can tank for you while you melee as normal...

    Darkest Dungeon

    I very much enjoyed the game but I did tap out at the end and watched the end cinematic on YouTube. The endgame stuffed me in the garbage can where I belonged and I've made peace with that. I'll give it another attempt with the DLC somewhere down the line.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I know they firmly stated that playing on the classic servers wouldn't unlock toys, transmogs, mounts etc on Live but I 100% expect them to fucking reverse course on that. It may not happen immediately but it'll happen.

    MTG: Arena

    If Arena Best of One is its own segregated little quarantine zone with its own rule set than whatever.

    MTG: Arena

    The only reason to be against porting the chess clock from MTGO to Arena is because you want to be the person playing masturbatory, time monopolizing decks and you want more than your fair share of time to jerk off on your opponent's face.

    MTG: Arena

    it doesn't happen very often but there have been instances of decks that were masturbatory and/or abusive in their game length that got themselves ejected. Eggs is the most recent example. It was a combo deck in Modern notorious for impacting event length. Four Horseman is 100% masturbation and...

    Not just that. If it exceeds expectations you'll have the corporate types doing whatever it takes to get their fingerprints on it. The easiest way to do that is to push changes.

    Setting aside a whole month for Legacy of Ykesha is the most "ultra-casual" characteristic the server has thus far.

    On fresh servers I believe he starts asleep. I wouldn't be surprised if there's already a team forming with the singular goal of getting into Sleeper's Tomb first. You could farm a lot of warders between open world and 3.5 day unlock timers if that was your singular objective. They need to...

    Thinking about the server more (at the guild level) I'm interested to see what people not only do with regards to class selection and leveling path but equipment and AA acquisition. Some people are going to try (and I expect it to be a server meme to replace trash with Luclin BiS) but it isn't...

    Coirnav/Phinny are a lot slower than Agnarr which is slower than Lockjaw/Ragefire. Lockjaw/Ragefire with what amounts to a 100% exp holiday going on all the time is approaching Live server exp rates.

    Two posts in two different threads to the same effect - No matter what happens it's pretty clear they did not get the response they thought they would. The raiding guilds look to be leaning towards Selo, some casuals towards Mangler and then a whole mess of people shitting hard on Mangler as...

    Selo has merit. Its got some sparkle. I can see people having a good time on it and I can see it dragging in some people that weren't otherwise going to ever come back to EQ again. Mangler has nothing going for it. I hope they scrap the whole fucking thing and start over. Buckle to the forum...

    So you play on Selo a bit, it starts to get to GoD and you aren't interested but you still want to play a bit more EQ. "You know, Kunark isn't bad and Velious is right after it" you think to yourself. You switch over to Mangler and you make a new character. You enter the game and you punch a...
