Best of luck! I know it's extra stressful at this time. My wife just gave birth 2 weeks ago and days after, the news posted they had confirmed Coronavirus patients at that hospital. Think we dodged a bullet, but now we are due to go in for vaccines in a few weeks. The last place I want to be...

USD to the UK pound is insane today. $1.15 to £1! 15 years ago it was $2 to £1

There are some really smart people that I respect in the investing world that have repeatedly said to avoid buying the dip. This is entirely different to any historical modeling re supply shocks and the coming demand shocks. El-Erian repeated the advice to avoid the dip again yesterday. I moved...

It's a retirement account, so limited on investment choices. But my account has actually been in the green since the selloff, vs the big red drop leaving it in equities.

Timing the markets is absolutely a fool's game.. under normal circumstances. This massive supply shock that's incoming is unprecedented, however. The trader that is even slightly clued into the macro picture of the last few weeks could have seen this coming. I, for one, put my money where my...

I've said the same thing over the years. People say the genre is dead because THEY can't play hours on end. That's silly because there is a bigger population of gamers today than there ever has been, and plenty of young and irresponsible players with the time to poopsock their way to victory.

All I will say is, most will get ACC trees maxed first in the high end. Because on UNM clan boss, you need around 220-230 Acc to reliably land debuffs. A lot of people need to run Acc Chest and Banner to hit those numbers. However, if you can get high enough Acc via your Great Hall bonus, you...

I think quite a few of us have spent more time reading and getting laughs in this thread than entire time spent playing other games. That in itself is rewarding I guess.

Hit me up with questions you guys may have. I am in Galifrey cluster. Worldwide #1 clan. If you are doing 10M per key and everyone else is doing 500k, you need to look for a new clan! Don't underestimate those rewards. By the time you are downing NM level top chest, you can get Legendary books...

In response to both of you... don't Auto. Especially in CB, your damage is going to suffer in pretty much all scenarios. Arena is just as bad. I use the bad AI to my advantage. For instance, if I land the whole enemy team with block buffs, the dumb AI will still blow their turn trying to cast...

My Clan was asking how my Harvest Jack was panning out. I sent this screen grab to Discord. Sitting at >1000 wins. Most of the losses were when I was tweaking Pumpkin's gear. The dude is a beast. His AE crits for about 30k (each target), but more importantly, he locks down entire teams with that...

Apoth is probably one of the best rares in the entire game. He is extremely difficult to replace until you get super lucky on Voids to pull a Golden Reaper, or a Legendary like Arbiter. His turn meter boost / speed buff on top of his monster heal are hard to beat. He also has a 3 hit A1, which...

Yea, the summoning event is far easier to attain the Void epic. Hopefully you snag your High Katun too.

Another note, having a solid XP farmer was key in me completing so quickly. My Bellower can clear 12-3 in about 7 seconds. Occasionally takes 2 rounds on the 3rd wave, but even then it's like 12-18s max. I can't fathom trying to brute force grind your way to the void epic taking minutes to clear...

So, a lot of people in game have asked how I managed it so quickly. First off, I have a vault full of champs. I didn't need to open a single shard. Having a deep supply of unused Epics goes a long way. NEVER destroy epics. Even dupes etc. They key in this event is in the way they calculate...

Been a while since I posted. Did a straight 8+ hour grind session on the champion training event to get that Void epic for the fusion. Made it in the end. Managed to get my Pumpkin fusion done! Also got a new Personal Best on CB the other day.

I have been with GD for ~17 years now. 401k is 100% match on the first 6%.. I thought this was standard? GD pay varies massively for gov contracts. Some are hot garbage, others are flush with cash. It honestly just depends on the specific contract that you are on. I was on about $200k doing Mid...

Ranks are starting to look nice and robust.

Kael for sure has more long term viability. Used in dungeons in the late game. OK as a farmer if spec'd in lifesteal gear. Bellower (Void) is your aim for farming though!

Most people would be insanely happy to get Skullcrusher out of that. Counterattack is very important on Clan Boss. Sucks about the Sacred shard though. As I said before, it is only a 6% chance for Legendary. I am sitting on 2 Sacreds waiting for another double Legendary event.

Tayrel is good deep into the game. Solid choice to 6*. Great at Clan Boss, as well as deep dungeons. He is part of my Dragon 20 team. He's often referred to as a secret Legendary. The thing with Bellower is, he is highly gear dependant. He's definitely worth the investment and makes grinding...

Holy hell. Someone posted this from my clan. Insane for any Clan Boss, let alone Ultra Nightmare!

Nice! You're much closer to Arbiter than I am. Sadly, it did the same thing to me for Ascend 5. Had to do it to a new char when the challenge came up. Considering the other missions are retro, its a shame they don't do the same for these!

Masteries make a big difference. Getting your CB team Warmaster or GiantSlayer masteries make a difference across the game. I would absolutely prioritise that over Acc banners. The problem is, it is a massive time and Energy resource sink. Your first round of 5 characters to get full Masteries...

Yea, I was assuming max chest on each. I'd rather have 1 Ultimate vs 2 Grandmaster chests.

Also, re Cupidus. I assume just for HP burn? High-end CB builds don't really even use it. He is pretty weak for a CB character. I swapped my Juliana for Tayrel. Having more consistent -50% ATK & -60% DEF debuffs on the CB is far more important. Not to mention, hes DEF damage based, so super...

Are you saying you need to ask your Clan to "allow" you to hit Nightmare? That's just crazy. I'd be looking for a new clan. Plenty out there at the cusp of or daily killing Nightmare that would take you. There's a big difference in rewards between the two. I would honestly rather get a single NM...

Managed to pull a Martyr (Legendary) from the double Epic / Legendary weekend. Fully geared and Masteries done and with her team counterattack buff, she's single-handedly taken my CB team from around 8mil per Nightmare key up to 12mil per! Also pulled a Tayrel and Steelskull which are end-game...

I would only make one argument here.. and that is perspective. Complaints like original EQ being "low res" is silly and unfair to compare to today's market. For it's day, EQ was developed when most people didn't have internet and fancy 3D video cards were rare and extremely costly. It was being...

I've had to rely on my Clan and their Discord for reliable info. As you said, the info out there is pretty sporadic. The Reddit thread has some good core info post though.

Yea, some of the events are amazing and some just aren't worth it. This latest one required a massive investment of Silver to upgrade artifacts (probably close to 20mil) and the final reward champ seemed pretty mediocre. I usually grind the Events up to the point of Legendary Tome rewards. They...

Been grinding this out for a couple months now. Got a solid CB team pulling about 7-8mil dmg on a Nightmare key. Gearing appropriately is everything here. CB boss is basically a DPS race. The tougher the CB boss, the faster speed he innately has. A crucial CB team gearing is Speed primary stat...

TLDR Version: 50% XP bonus back on Selo permanently. Effective immediately.

In your fist part, i agree. The comment about forced to grow 50% for PoP, I wholeheartedly disagree.

This guild has been on multiple TLP and they always LC without dramas. Hell, anecdotally.. my 2nd raid I got a KT belt, 3rd raid I got HP Ssra shield - all as being a noobie to these guys. Can't call favoritism. The officers are probably the least geared in the guild. Solid experience so far...

Why the RSS hate? lol It's a casual, competent, non-zerg raiding guild with about 50 people and killing AoW, Seru, and everything in Ssra except Emp (still need keys). Most chill guild I've been in for those of us crusty veterans who don't want batphone EQ server #357.

7 servers down. Those 20 year old hampsters in the server room must have finally died.

Yep. Just saw that. Server crashed and is down now.

So.. our raid just hit the EQ loot lotto. Never seen this in all of EQ.

Its because people are spread everywhere leveling across 3 expacs. Population is healthy and fine. Side note... fucking Gimblox for CLR epic is still rare as fuck. It isn't on the boosted named list for the server. I fell asleep after 8 hours. I know someone else took 21 hours. Normal for...
