    Everquest - Phinigel server

    I've said it a few times on these boards, but GoD was totally fucked. We were 3rd worldwide to kill Rathe (that was a massive cockblock). Other roadblocks were due to blown triggers like Coirnav and the RZ event. It took time waiting for trigger respawns to learn the overall encounters. But yea...

    Yea, Nisea added lower raid tier GoD loot to Crushbone. Outside of castle named have augments, inside castle has armor / jewelry, Dvinn has Cragbeast Queen quest reward drops. Castle armor is pretty much equal to or worse than Time gear. Dvinn items are equal or better than Quarm. The named...

    That's obvious, but there is a massive gear gap (mainly resists) needed for Time coming right out of Luclin.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Btw, I haven't really been on in weeks. SK got BiS everything and have about 9 toons in Time gear. Dev work seems to have ground to a halt, so there is fuck all to do. That said, if you are a new player I still think the server experience is a blast. Enjoy it for what it is, but the game...

    My 3 box team is SK / Shm / Rogue. Once you max out that assassinate skill, you can insta-kill anything up to dark blues. Pretty damn nice clearing trash in places. That said, if you want to be clearing PoTime with low numbers (6 toons), you best damn well have a Bard for the resists. Between...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Kinda crazy Time / Quarm is doable without farming EP armor whatsoever. Time is supposed to be pretty damn hard / impossible without proper resists. What allows the content to be so trivial this time around?

    Taxes 2016

    It's the same logic you need to consider when choosing a traditional 401k vs a Roth 401k. The simplest answer is, if you think you are in a higher tax bracket while earning and a lower bracket in retirement, a traditional IRA or 401k is usually better. (Greater tax savings now vs later in...

    IIRC: Oculus is barely over 1080p when both screens are combined, so the need for DP isn't really there. HDMI can render 4k at 60 fps max, while DP can do crazy shit like 8k at 60 fps and 10 bit color + HDR. (older HDMI spec was only 30 fps and the first few gens of 4k monitors required 2x HDMI...

    Weighs a lot more than it should. Rode around in my friend's Golf-R in the UK and it was pretty damn peppy though. Problem I have with VW is they have crept up to BMW / Audi prices. VW is not of the same caliber in my opinion.

    Because DP is the future. HDMI is inferior. (It's like whining about having 3 DVI outputs and "only 1 VGA" for older gen cards) In a nutshell, far higher bandwidth (refresh rates at higher resolutions) with DP vs HDMI. DisplayPort vs HDMI vs DVI vs VGA - AVADirect

    Another thing to be considered is the EQ2 effect over time. Setting all of its other flaws aside for one second.. The pace of combat at the start was perfectly fine. Decent cast times, cooldowns, and whatnot. However, character strength improvement over the years revolved around focus that would...

    Plus, once you are in Time the rest of PoP content is pretty much obsolete. Log in to clear Time, log out and wait for a new instance to be available. Rinse and repeat for X months.

    At 60, go to Hole. At 65, you need Luclin access and go to Droga. Both of those zones are massively more xp than anywhere else for their respective levels.

    It has already been established that this TLP isn't really legit, as they use all modern damage tables and a myriad of other changes that has scaled up DPS significantly. Plus, you didn't even get VT 1.0 with trash that blinded people and whatnot. Modern EQ is a cakewalk compared to back then.

    6 months of PoP sounds brutal. Once you are Time keyed, literally all other content is pointless. You log in for your instanced version of Time and then log back out. No other content is worthwhile. I am burned out of Time myself playing on an Emu, having farmed Time the last 1 month only.

    Eh... focus effects are pretty critical for a caster. Though, the poorly thought out server augment negates that here. Typically, you need to be hunting for the highest fire / ice / magic direct damage focus items as a wizard. VT / Plane of Time focus would be very meaningful. But, you can just...

    EQ Mac's demise was due to the hack that allowed PC clients to connect to the server.
