PR: "final test and checks" reality: *server engineer buried in 10 putty instances* I DONT KNOW I JUST CANT THIS ISNT RIGHT I HAVE TO GO HOME I DONT

shit posting on the official forums is starting to feel like jeering at the elderly softball league. Sure, you're right that Ed should start going to practice more than he goes to fuckin' Denny's but it's like fish in the barrel.

There's a lot you could do. The sad truth is that if you're a talented and motivated game developer you're not working at DPG.

Super excited for tomorrow. Hope the weather holds up!

Not to derail too much but what's funny about the live scene is that the last expansion was easy from top to bottom, and the final raid was killed by 20 guilds in the first week. https://www.elitegamerslounge.com/home/progress/expansion.php?exp_id=92 Compare that with TBL, where the difference...

Why the hell does legends of runeterra have the best commercials for anything ever? I audibly laughed when i saw this ad and then looked the game up to find it was a card game.

Aradune is my first TLP so I'm staying humble about it all but the MMO gamer in me has a hard time taking any super-competitive TLP player all that seriously. Like, competition is competition but come on, this shit was figured out twenty years ago and for many classes in Classic->PoP the...

I was thinking about that problem when i saw this vid and learned what dynamic soaring was in the following vid (tldr: wind differentials are mad sploitz) The amount of g forces those things pull is huge, trying to scale it up to larger vehicles would run into the same problems everything...

Like I said, dumb question! Thanks guys.

Not sure what you mean by full suite there. When Aradune launches what in the below list will be available for Daybreak cash? I'm tryna decide whether I want to use accounts with huge amounts of DB cash or the ones with less DB cash so I can build some up with the 500 monthly DB cash I'll get...

A week after Kunark releases does the game go from being GukQuest to being SebQuest?

Dumb question: I have accounts with over 7000 daybreak cash, there is no way to buy packs and shit on Aradune with that right? The only thing I can p2w on is the bullshit that costs $$$?

What do you think a TLP would be like without pick zones? Have they ever talked about limiting the # of pick zones based on the current population (meta pick zones, lol) such that if there were 500 level 50s online they would open 3 guks, but if there were only 100 level 50s online they'd open one?

Lots of good ways to make EQ TLP difficult, few people are interested in doing it via contested content on PVE servers.

I've never played TLP but if half of what people say is true it'd be hard to take a rando rogue in the group in classic because not only is it gimpy on paper, but the person who chose to ride that gimpy horse is probably a potato.

I really don't want to buy into their bullshit "release a new TLP and everyone has to buy bags again" cycle. Is it really that important to get these things? If so, is $20 for a 40slot bag a good price or should i wait till they release the new pack?

That's a nice looking rocket you got there.

I never even looked at them, but doing epic quests is something I really enjoyed and I kind of wish I had a reason to do the remaining epics. There's just something satisfying about passing by some rando dude in the old world and thinking, "Oh yeah he's the guy for that bit in the bard epic".

Not sure about on TLP but i was amazed at how much harder the mage epic was than every other epic I've done. I think ive done everything but nec, wiz, enc, dru, pal and sk.

This is pretty cool. As a layman I always thought it made sense to make a ridiculously oversized plane that could yeet a rocket into low earth orbit. Musk isn't' the authority on all things aeronautical but even after reading his comments I'm curious as to why you can't make a plane big enough...

What strategies/tricks do people have for getting logged in and staying logged in when the servers are trashed? On Live it seemed like the login server would go down more frequently than any of the game servers so when it goes down you just try not to get booted. It also seemed like the world...

Lookin good, bud. Though i wouldn't use red for depleted endurance and mana. There are only so many colors to go around and you don't want it looking like a clown took a shit in your group window, but you also don't want to be distracted by a red bar when your group is full of health. Just my...

I still to this day am impressed with what they accomplished in SS1. This was me when I first loaded up the beta or whatever in 2000 on my machine 20 years later many games still have problems with blurry textures and lots of rendered enemies. Serious Sam the SEcond Encounter had a really...

Just got a text from Holly, she says they fuckin' burned the servers down. Everyone's shit is deleted. They're going to roll out 10 new "TLP" servers starting at classic+kunark with 3x experience and 3x drop rates with 2 month unlocks. XP/drops go to normal when it reaches live.

tbh I don't know why every healer in EQ doesn't want that red background on the health bars that I use. https://drive.google.com/open?id=16MYEo3SWrqoyARJSWL5D_Vc2dAl8e_WT

Holy fuck somebody get me a lifevest I'm drowning over here. But seriously i don't think this impacts me.

The idea of playing dress up with a charm pet and riding that line to real gear loss on a fuck up is super exciting. I haven't had the potentitial for gear loss in EQ in twenty years

Yeah that's what I've heard. I feel like there's a whole bunch of parsed data on charm pets, I just don't know which communities have it. TLP is so different from live, it's so competitive and nobody shares stuff publicly.

Looking at race/diety selection for my cle/enc duo. How useful is the Defender of the Faithful Heart shield with its Primal Essence clicky? Defender of the Faithful Heart MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO TRADE PLACEABLE Slot: SECONDARY Charges: Unlimited AC: 35 This item is placeable in yards, guild...

If you want efficiency: https://www.almarsguides.com/eq/leveling/RoS/ If you just want to see new stuff: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/zlvlchart.html

This is my first TLP but from what people say sk/shm is one of the top duos for classic EQ next to mnk/sha and enc/cle. Yes you need 2 physical computers, fucking 2020.

Yeah if Aradune turns out to be a bot-infested shit hole I'll really regret deciding to play on Aradune, which includes buying an laptop just to truebox. I'm optimistic though, on the basis that if that a single GM just randomly porting around testing people is really enough to put a huge dent...

I was originally going to do enc/dru with the idea that dru provides ports, DD and power level capability. I switched to cleric with the idea that they'll be more efficient healers, have CH which helps with charmed mobs with huge HP pools and shite mitigation and I won't use their druid's DDs...

I've never done TLP but I've always been surprised that Classic+Kunark isn't the default option.

problem with necros on live is: 1. The skill cap for a necro relative to everybody else, especially wizards/mages, is massive. Mages/wizards have a few things they need to account for to get decent DPS, necros have to balance several different spell-lineups. Only after playing 5x harder than...

Was thinking about the previous posts about truebox detection and how you can exploit the truebox code to immediately log out: On truebox what happens when you try to log in two characters from the same PC, does it just instant boot you? I'm thinking about what I'm going to do on TLP and...

That's a great resource, thanks!

Are there any resources that describe common gearing paths for classic as you level? Or do people pretty much limp to 50 in full groups on the backs of pets and charmed mobs and then start farming BiS items? I'm mostly just wondering if there's some really easy stuff to get when I find myself...
