    The Matrix reboot/remake

    I'm sure they thought that dialogue was really fucking clever. Another thing that I really didn't like in the later films were the props and art design. In the first film there's this weird mix of the old and the new both in fashion and in the tech devices that get used. You've got this weird...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Madman! Throughout most of RF/LJ pets couldn't actually take aggro provided a player was in melee range with the NPC. Now that melee range doesn't guarantee a monster swings at you leveling groups can combine pet classes and melee classes without getting flat out punished. Shit, you can stick a...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    The power creep has definitely been happening on both sides that's for sure. It was during this last batch of prog servers that the plus % damage AAs were added for all the melee and hybrids. I don't want to give up Origin though. I've got none zero not any nostalgia for getting around being a...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    New RE isn't great but I don't hate it in an environment where we had mage pets soloing yellows from level 2 onward. Pets have been nerfed a bit but casters are all still pretty damn strong. If you don't have RE than you have really shitty itemization paths for melee classes. As part of a...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Zaide's just saying that druids are not part of optimal static groups and are not part of high tier static groups. As far as the race goes they aren't very good. As far as just being a druid out there doing druid things there's nothing wrong with druids.

    WE HAVE YOUR WOMAN OUTLANDER There's like seven of these fucking films and I think a reboot on top. I always wanted to ask King how this worked. When they decide to make a fifth Sometimes They Come Back or tenth Children of the Corn does anyone even call you or do you just get a check in the...

    You cannot make an Iksar Monk but you can change races for a cost during Kunark. I don't know dogshit about boxing. Gnome SKs are not available at release.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I had only played on Sleeper prior to RF/LJ and Sleeper and Sleeper wasn't anything like RF/LJ. At all. Were Mages also commoditized slave labor on the other prog servers? Not only did we get super boxers (40+ types) eating up raid content and warping the economy but tons and tons of people had...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Leveling is odd. The very first few levels are just miserable. When you are level 3 and punching level 1 snakes the exp is horrible. Leveling actually speeds up for a time once you finish the initial slog. It is a big part of why organized grouping is so helpful. Stabbing an endless sea of...

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    I thought that King adding King as a character was done better than really anyone could have hoped. It wasn't ever eyeroll to me. I was much more bothered with the other ramifications. I've only read the series once but do you remember the two characters, one named Tower, that started a...

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    It always bothered me that he blew up his own multiverse by making some of his stories double fictional. In the multiverse that Roland inhabits there is a book called Insomnia. That book is "thin." It was written by a King about the Dark Tower but it is not a story of events that exactly...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I always thought the cool part about rogues during the early stages of a TLP is that you can get items that almost no one had in era like the 41% haste belt from Sky or the 12/19 sky dagger. That was shit that basically no one had back in the day. It's like that for a couple different classes...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Phinny is much slower than Ragefire or Lockjaw and this new server is using the RF/LJ rates. If you want to see what the exp rate is going to be like those are the better way to go.

    Tox was just pea soup. Your vision barely extended past your face even in the best lighting conditions. I don't know why you would do that to your players.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Stephen King tweeted a photo of the Horn of Arthur Eld with the caption of "One Last Time Around" or something like that. The movie or movies is the final journey. Also, if I ever saw Stephen King in real life I'd yell insane sperg fan gibberish at him about how much he sucks.

    Mage and Necro pets have reduced defensive values from their current strength on Live. On raid targets they will do reduced damage and the aggro they generate will be redirected to you.

    It'll change you to Cazic Thule because all Iksar are Cazic. You won't end up with anything weird like a 7th Hammer Iksar.

    You can buy a potion in the Daybreak store for 2500 daybreak cash (equivalent to 25 dollars, you get 500 DBC per month for having an active subscription and a 10% discount on items on the store) that changes your race. It doesn't do anything else. You keep your name, whatever faction work you've...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Yeah, I was checking the store every day once Kunark launched waiting to swap. I was still leveling when the potions came online so it couldn't have been long at all. I don't know when you gave up the ghost but race and class exp penalties don't exist so you don't get punished for being a...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    When a zone reaches a certain threshold of players (varies by zone) a new instance is spawned that you can enter with the command /pickzone. When an instance spawns it's fully loaded with everything that isn't a raid boss. This includes things like long spawn epic quest guys even. This new...

    Hail leezard brother, On LJ the race change potions unlocked I think two weeks in and three at the latest. I believe the cost is 2500 daybreak cash and you get 500 for each month you have a subscription as well as I think 10% discount on purchases from the store (so 2250). If you don't spend...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I did my boost on FV because the server doesn't have (for the most part) no drop equipment and went around trying to find old bosses to punch and that shit is on fucking lock. I'm convinced there are multiple people just executing every raid boss from Kunark and Velious every single respawn.

    It's a freebie one per account thing for the anniversary. I've got no idea on the other stuff. The last time I tried to give the game a go I quit in the mid 60s because of how fucking slow it was. That had to be ten years ago.

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    No, it's lazy writing and the two sequels are full of it because they don't really know what to do with their Jesus allegory once he goes Super Saiyan. Jesus 2.0 is literally jobbed out by a rogue A.I. and doesn't even get his heat back later.

    Something that might be interesting would be the addition of a few additional raid encounters. It wouldn't take much. You could just pick yourself up the model for Vox, add a bunch of crazy shit, and have it spawn somewhere shitty and useless. Maybe put a super lethal Faydeder into Erud's...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    The highway action sequence in Reloaded was cool but it required removing Neo from the board so the other characters could do something and then he still saves the day in the end. They just had no idea how to write Neo after he had all the powers of The One. He has to flee from Smith but he's...
