    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Alright, you lost the tag race. Unfortunate. Guess you have to have one of your Enchanters chain-rune the enemy main tank or your Clerics heal him until the encounter soft unlocks from them stealing aggro.

    I'm hoping they announce that they do not believe FTE is likely to meet their high standards in time for launch so it will be implemented later and by later I mean it is quietly murdered with a pillow when no one is looking.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Yeah and I had the UI flicker as well. I found it incredibly annoying. I didn't know that if your puller dropped group the mob would only remain locked to him and the group would be fucked. I know the plan is to have shit soft unlock if it is attacking you but we've got a couple examples now...

    You're going to be three hours in to your premade after a typically shitty launch where you have to fight just to get everyone online on the same page in the same zone and an encounter is going to bug and wipe the group and the Cleric is going to /q on the spot and never log back on to Oakwynd...

    I think there's a lot of people that would have a better time if they pretended the second server was called Mischief. I hear it launched in TBS with free trade and random loot.

    Not really looking like they're going to juice the perks each expansion has baked in plus things are a mess on Test with only two weeks to go. This is looking like a rough one.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    What I was expecting was something very artificial in its implementation. Once a mob if locked you can't get on its aggro list and if you aren't on its aggro list you can't do anything to it. Period. You can't kill steal anything because you can't do anything to it. You can't train anyone...

    I didn't like Sanctum until I was plowing it with a build that was favored in that environment plus had a big suite of +merchant options relics.

    I don't think it's so much about wanting to be in a guild with a pristine lineage as it is not wanting to get blindsided by a toxic freight train if you ever show up to do something in open world.

    Having gear be server/account bound isn't a terrible compromise and it's not like Oakwynd doesn't have some bonus loot but it's just all a step backwards. After half unlock timer Selo I don't consider raid lockouts attached to characters instead of the account to be all that much of a bonus.

    Not getting this to Test right away does not build confidence. Even if it's terrible, doesn't work and everyone hates it there won't be any time to reverse course. That may be the point. The threads on the official forums all cooled. General guild chatter seems low. It looks like everyone...

    A very reasonable set of predictions. Anyone who wanted to go mega hard on an EQ TLP probably has a couple times by now. Leveling up alts to run more splits to funnel gear to your main is going to be a ton of work without it really being in service of anything. Anyone with that kind of time...

    It's just a lot of guilds for me to not know who these people are with many of their recruitment blurbs not including any information about leadership. Are any of these even batphone guilds? Last I heard Ogre was in limbo? Skip a couple TLPs and my rolodex is entirely useless.
