    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    Would you say that a large # of players buy a krono or two, trade it for platinum they get for spells, basic gear and carrying around money from mid to high level players and then those mid to high level players combine those kronos together to buy specific BiS goods? If so that makes sense...

    It's beyond me why anyone would pay big $$$ for some fucking efreeti boots with no focus on them. The fuck does that 9 int do for a mage or 9 wisdom do for a shaman.

    I'm surprised that Original + Kunark isn't the standard TLP configuration to release at once. I've never played TLP though so maybe I'm missing something. I also started playing in EQ when Kunark was current.

    What about that camp makes it such a hotbed for scum and villainy? Without focus effects the ring and boots aren't really game-changers, right?

    So is it common for the top guilds to escalate wars over the efreeti camp until you get multiple groups trying to out DPS each other just to win the war?

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I don't have any answers for you but the biggest thing I'm curious about is how much of a kill-stealing shitshow it's going to be. If I want an FBSS (or some other big-impact OEQ item) is it going to be pretty much 24/7 DPS races until Kunark comes out? Is that behavior endemic through the...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    One of the OP parts about rolling with 35 companions is that they are all but guaranteed to spawn in huge battles. So instead of getting the militia trash you get your heavy hitters for sure. I didn't try this mod, but https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/407 Would make...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Tattoo bitch, aka Jack was my favorite companion in ME2 for two reasons: 1, at least at the start she embodied the kind of angry berserker that made the game fun even if you had to spend the rest of the game peeling back and repairing layers of emotional damage because it's inevitable bioware...

    Cool, thanks. I guess I'll keep on with Multiplicity for now. I'm hoping to make some videos of me boxing on TLP and update my thread on the official forums though I'm not sure anyone cares all that much.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I've never played on TLP, but I'm kind of curious, what are the policies on what is and isn't OK on a Truebox server? The intent is obvious: you're supposed to have shitty boxing setups because that's easy for DPG to implement. But I see Multiplicity talked about openly on the forums, is that...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    How do they do that? I plugged in my to my laptop and it works ok. From what I can tell the only hotkey options for Multiplicity involve switching screens around, and I couldn't get it to work. AutHotkey on the other hand has options to redirect hotkeys from one instance to another, not sure...

    I don't know how anyone can do anything but use the classic spell icons. Biggest problem I have with the spell icons is the lack of diversity. Warcraft has a billion icons that are basically unique, in Everquest I have 5 shields and 4 feet on my buff list

    Witcher 3

    It's self inflicted but I don't think you quite understand what I mean. I only enjoy difficult gameplay because it forces me to use all the available tools to beat a game. Witcher 3 has difficult gameplay, but I'm so tired of using the same old crafting tools to beat it. I could lower the...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I don't know. I just know that when I played last the best way to build up your forts was through online conquests where once you leveled up a bit you'd run into teams created with orcs that were probably better than the entirety of orcs you'd come across through the entire game. As in, after 60...

    Yeah fuck off with calling crafting in Witcher 3 "minimal". The last two times I loaded up my mid-game save I open up my inventory and see a collection of this shit: https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/The_Witcher_3_alchemy_ingredients...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    It's best to sample all the many different ways the game provides you to farm orcs. "Creating" orcs by dying to them or finding new ones in the fighting pits and then carefully leveling them up is what the game is all about. Then when you want to scale up your orc pokemon, the best way is to...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Could be interested in Diablo 2 if they do a great job. But I can't imagine they can build something that stays true to Diablo 2 without creating something inferior to Path of Exile.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    No, you're right, it's all minimal. All the customization is wrapped up in the Orc system which I find to be totally refreshing because it's something no game has done before and I've done crafting in so many other games. These days I try to ignore crafting systems in games as much as possible...

    Also @Sabbat @Kharzette I've found some of the UI guys like Sparxx, Zvenn, Syylke and Drakah are willing to give people a hand in making UIs if you reach out to them. I imagine they're more than happy to find new uses for their expertise on the worst UI system in computer history, especially if...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    It has crafting in the form of upgrades to your gear that you get either through gems you fuse together and upgrades based on beating challenges. And it has rudimentary base building in that you configure your fortress for different attributes. But really the base-building is centered around the...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I'm using Diplomacy Fixes and it makes kingdom management a bit easier if only because you can send messages to lords you want to poach. It has a significant influence cost (but why...) and takes three days, but it's a hell of a lot nicer than running around looking for a lord to poach only to...

    Did a "refresher" newbie run where I made a new cle/enc and sorted out their UIs. Got to level two by barely killing level 1 snakes in Nektulos and then meditating.... what the hell did I get myself into.

    @Sabbat I'm sure y'all have looked but I've seen quite a few requests for 4k UIs over the years. I'm surprised nobody has made one, but a lot have tried and talked about their results. Probably a few 4k options in eqinterface like EQInterface downloads : Player Window for UltraHD 4K...

    all right, sorry for belaboring this. I want to play a cle/enc duo on Aradune, does it matter that much what races I pick? If not I'm just picking dark elf for both for simplicity.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I never played AC Rogue but I feel like they trivialized climbing to where it's barely a gameplay element anymore. You can pretty much just tell Kassandra to run in one direction and she'll climb whatever is in her way to get there. In AC1 some of the towers were non-trivial to climb and AC2+...

    Using fire arrows in a game or movie is basically letting everyone know you don't give a fuck about historical accuracy when you have to decide between it and what's cool. Anyone who sees that, ignores it and starts to weigh in on it in a judgmental way is foolish, or probably just an internet...

    It's been so long, how big of a deal is it on TLPs in classic eq to have a duo that has different faction? If i do dark elf cleric and high elf enchanter is that a nuisance or is it actually good because almost no matter where i go some character can run in and buy and sell goods?

    Yeah that's my biggest fear with doing enc/cle, that it's a lot of tedious and situational effort that is overshadowed by the reliability of an sk/sha or mnk/sha duo. But I've got a melee-focused six box and a 4xmage / enc / dru 6box on live so I'm looking to try something new. And maybe I'm...
