    Then you spawn instances of those, like EQ does now, and AO did back in the day with their social dungeons. I liked the way AO did it. Say a dungeon reached a certain player threshold, a new one would spawn. But no, I dont think this was ever a problem in EQ. For one EQ never had millions of...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Yeah Like I just logged in after a while this week, I quit after grinding the forge exp pack. So im all 650 with all of the great forge weapons and all that, but then I go around and see its just the same shit to, again, level to 700. More strike lists (which they have not added any new ones in...

    There is a point at which there is too much alcohol for certain yeasts though and it just dies. So its not like you can just keep adding sugar to it and it will all turn into alcohol. Now there is more hardy yeast strains they use in making wine that will get up to higher percentages like 12%+...

    There was no way to crawl through EQ dungeons because of the level disparity of the mobs. Often times you would have 20 or so level difference between the "upper" mobs vs the the ones deep down.

    I think camping is one of the only ways other than instancing the shit out of your game(Or just themeparking the shit out of it with boar ass quests) to have dungeons that fully support more than one group and be social. Now that is to say if this is the case, why not support this "camping" a...

    Last Epoch

    So this just came out in pre release on steam $35. Action RPG game thats pretty solid so far from what I have seen. They have like 15 classes in so far and unique skill system in which each skill you chose has its own skill tree. Tons of optimization, loot is like D2, etc. Still kind of rough...

    I used to like to watch the fermentation process. I have all the equiment still, corny kegs, Co2 setup so I dont have to bottle. I even have a lagering fridge with a temp controller to keep that shit just above freezing for a month or two. The only thing I really didnt have was a filtration...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Used to be even worse on live servers like a year or two back, literal lag spikes for the entire server cluster as peeps were pulling entire zones, and were not talking classic zones here but massive expansion ones. This is why the pretty much did a blanket nerf to all AOE bullshit in this game...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Yeah definitely a disappointment in D2. D1 was excusable in that new genre, learning curve and all that, and they fixed it by the 2nd year. D2 was just inexcusable and 3 steps backward IMO. But I will still say that this is the smoothest playing shooter on the market by a mile. It just feels...

    Yeah its definitely a good fucking game. Its what D3 was supposed to be but never was. Watch some videos by Maligant and SFHobbit, they know their shit either on twitch or Youtube for some tips and tricks on how to get started with some builds. There is definitely a learnig curve to this one...

    Although I have a webber gas grill right now which was given to me by my pops, I used to swear by the cheap $130 grills before. Sure they might not last you the 20 yrs a webber can, but they will still last you 3-5 years if covered or stored in winter and you can even get a few more out of them...

    Yeah it definitely takes a few leagues to figure out all the shit, not to mention all the expansion stuff they add along the way too. The biggest learning curve I had was with theitem drops, as in waht is good and what is not. thats what took me the longest to figure out.

    Grim Dawn

    Waht you do is start on ultimate with exp pot and lokkar set and do 1st quest, the one to kill the re-animator. Turn that in along with all the lore shit you find on your way to him, and ding lv20. Hand in scraps to water dude and hit up the reroll chick in prison, turn those in and ding lv 23...

    The little things can be attributed to literally playing a game for over 2500 hours. shit like planning build before hand, planning itemization and what to watch for, not overkilling because of exp bonuses and penalties, also knowing the zone layouts like the back of your hand helps too...shit...

    I like watching RaizQT. Hes won races before (but not lately), but still has that shit down and hes also funny guy with a bit of charisma too so fun to watch. He also does 1-100 SSF HC races in beginning of leagues too.

    What sets this apart from their normal P1999? Or is this just a fresh "relaunch"?

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yeah this game desperately needs a Destiny like "forsaken" or "The Taken King" add on and relaunch that goes along with it. Untill then let them plug along fixing shit and making quality of life changes. Like I said it will take a solid year to fix and add enough shit to this game for it to be...

    I would also love to see a shooter mmorpg, sort of like Destiny, but done right. Imagine a shooter system like Destiny has in a world and RPG elemenets like EQ had, a proper loot system and itemization plus rpg class system. (obviously it would have to be set in a different time and place). That...

    I agree. I never liked any of that pikachuu or whatever the fuck bullshit. Give me good ole warriors, mages, wizzards, dragons, skellies, and other tolkienesque monsters. Plus what made EQ stand out was the hand crafted loot too, plus the boss system with placeholders, rare spawns, etc..which...

    Why would they need to port anything? Start fresh. Modern engines have most of this shit already built in, plug and play features and world building that they wish they had circa 1997.

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    I think most* here would be happy with a EQ circa 2020. Same shit just new engine, new characters, new world to explore and conquer but same old EQ gameplay, maybe modernized a bit.

    Yeah I had a awesome AK-74 LMG variant with frenzy on it. The problem was the 4 blue bullshit req on it like @Vorph pointed out which meant I could not run any defensive/self heal shit at all. But god damn that thing was a DPS machine when I tried it.

    I still think to reinvigorate the genre, they need to look back at games like EQ and UO, rather than WoW. Do an 180 and make shit hard rather than easy with quest hub bullshit and 30 min stretches like most of you are advocating for. If you cant sit down and play a game for 2+ hours, maybe...
