    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Since then they have buffed all raid bosses, given a stacking debuff to pets versus raid targets that is pretty savage, and then just now they nerfed pets again and set it so their threat was transfered to the owner. No one is going to be killing shit for a couple of days. The amount of...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    That's a real mindset that some people have. That the exp on RF/LJ was too fast, it was too easy, everyone just wants their welfare loot so fuck 'em. They'll get to do a couple dragons before Kunark launches maybe and that's good enough for them. I don't get it at all. There's this vocal part...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    On Lockjaw at the open we had a ton of guilds on the initial rotation (before Daybreak started enforcing them officially) with more wanting to get on it. There were tons and tons and tons of people that wanted to do the content. With raid instancing all six or seven of those guilds could have...

    I'm guessing as one of the conditions for doing this film Jennifer Lawrence didn't want to have to sit in the make up chair for 6 hours a day.

    I don't know about Ragefire but leveling to 60 is rough on Lockjaw now. There just aren't a lot of people still leveling and if you aren't exping in a decent camp it can be a real drag.

    Going through the work to add raid instancing to Classic EQ content so everyone could experience raiding at their own speed without interference or pressure and then gating it behind a 150 hours of pure grinding is the goof of all time. Oh, and Kunark goes live March 10th.

    Holy shit that's a lot of exposition for a trailer.

    Yep. That's why the change in exp rates never came up before despite having a couple months to talk about it, why it also wasn't mentioned in the FAQ, and there wasn't even an official response until a full day after Phinny went live. If anyone else has noticed it's only kill exp that's reduced...

    The rumor going around is they can't get raid instancing to work right so this is how they are buying time.

    Having put in now a few hours in Lavastorm with a full group of synergistic classes piloted by decent players chain pulling yellows I don't think anyone is really going to put up with these exp rates. Daybreak has completely sabotaged what could have been a server with mass appeal and they have...

    Given their track record it's more like 25/75. What I hope is that they see the server pop tank immediately and change course right away. And again, you've got instanced raid content. There's no fucking reason to gate the endgame. RF and LJ was plenty slow enough.

    Going to post again because fuck it this bugs me. YOU'VE GOT INSTANCED RAID CONTENT WHY ARE YOU GATING IT BEHIND DECREASED EXP RATES HOLY FUCK That's the hook! That's how you get people to give you money month after month after month after month! Every single person can have access to raid...

    If that's their plan that plan is terrible. The RF/LJ refugees are a burned out, surly lot and I don't think all that many of them are going to go through the work to get to 50 to do more Classic raid content . They aren't going to stick it out. Add a bunch of pots to the store, fine. Add a...

    Yep, Daybreak didn't even bother consider how many players on Phinny would be refugees from Ragefire and Lockjaw and that those players would be looking at not only redoing the level grind but do it even slower.

    You know, we've got this goose here that we think will lay golden eggs. That could take a lot of time and energy. What if we just cut it open and took all the eggs now? That's what Phinny is like with the sow pots, regen pots, haste pots, and decreased exp rate. Rather than just making some...

    Telling people the day after the server launches (not even same day, mind you) that exp on Phinny would be less than it was on Ragefire and Lockjaw when it wasn't super quick on those servers is retarded. People really wanted to play on a server with box restrictions and instancing. There are...

    On the upside we've had to ban Necro pets from raids now. Wait? Did I say upside? I mean spirit crushing kick in the sack. Shadow Knight is the class of the future.

    The real big issue is that you can no longer enter melee range to tank for your pet. With that no longer working pets are going to die a lot more until people get better at aggro manageament.

    Paladins are fine in Classic. They are good and groups and you can use them to tank anything on raids. In Kunark they are good in groups and do absolutely nothing on raids. Maybe you use Lay on Hands at a good time. That's it.

    I think that got changed at some point but I'm not 100%. I know I made an Erudite something and it didn't punish me for having 70 agility and I definitely remember always having to jack my Agility to 75 because otherwise you had 1 AC at level 1 and got wrecked by snakes.

    In Classic if you pick Troll or you pick Ogre that's fine. There's really no wrong answer. Just make sure you ignore the recommended stat distribution (all points into Stamina) and max your Intelligence if you go one of the large races. In Kunark when SKs transition into being Wizards in...

    That shit always drove me nuts. "Hey, can I get Strength Dex Stam Agility AC Talisman Haste Regen please? Oh, and do you have Avatar yet?" If you've ever forced a group to stop killing because you wanted irrelevant buffs I hope you get eaten by weasels. I'm looking atyou,Ranger players...

    Troll and Iksar regen scales with level. The best part about being an Iksar SK though is that you get Origin : Cabilis during Kunark. With it and a Worker Sledge Mallet you can actually get around that expansion decently on your own as a melee character.

    They parsed like dog poop through all of Classic and are solidly behind SKs and Monks in Kunark. Depending on the encounter it's either always Monks at the top followed by SKs or SKs at the top followed by Monks while all the Rogues, Wizards, and Necromancers fight for positioning below them.

    Having been in Kunark a while now I wouldn't recommend anyone play a Rogue, a Ranger, or a Paladin. The rest of the cast is fine. Even at level 60 with raid gear and an epic Rogues don't parse all that great, Rangers parse worse, and while Paladins are useful as tanks in Classic they have...

    It probably means that cleared isles (isles on lockout) don't respawn or at least their little bosses won't respawn.

    If you're planning on joining his crew make sure you aren't playing a class with an epic that takes tradeable raid drops. You'll get to Kunark and find out all the shit you've been banking for months is gone.
