How do people still not know what EQ stats do in a ~18 year old game? Dex is and always has been solely about boosting proc rate. And as said, it is a fairly trivial amount.

Is that even a thing? I highly doubt I could just ring up the VA and get them to change the rules for me. Benefit expires after 15 years once you are out of service. Have you heard otherwise?

Damn shame they nerfed the gnoll fang quest in Qeynos. Easiest Barb route was to mow down every gnoll in Blackburrow and hand the teeth in Qeynos. That would net you great xp and a moonstone. Then you take the moonstones to another guy in Qeynos for minor xp and some beer. They nerfed the quest...

I am still hyper skeptical of 4k streaming. The amount of compression must be staggering, which negates the point of 4k definition in the first place. Hell, I still notice artifacts from 1080p compressed media. Typically easiest seen in blocky black areas of the screen. There's got to be a hell...

Post 9/11 GI Bill is still limited to 3 yrs of school, no? Or you are still active duty and using the 100% TA? I really wish the GI Bill wasn't limited to 15 yrs after end of service. I am looking to make a career change and while I have made bank as a contractor the last 15 years, I never used...

I will take a look at the Note 8, but I have a feeling I am skipping this gen until next year. I have been a Galaxy S owner since the S3 and bought the new model every year. I still love my S7 Edge and it doesn't feel slow in any way. Battery life is still exceptional. The S8 just doesn't seem...

Unless I wasn't clear, Netflix can stream 4k (software) and your TV is native 4k, so the app in your TV will work just fine. I assume you have the original PS4, which also has a Netflix app, but the hardware in the PS4 is capped at 1080p. This was the whole point of the new PS4 Pro, which does...

How does waking work on instanced servers? Does all 4 need to drop in the open world to wake Sleeper, or can anyone do it from an instance and ruin it for the server?

Yea, I didn't claim it looked like that. I said "if it were brighter" and linked the explanation. However, I have seen it myself with the naked eye. It's definitely a fuzzy blob. But with a scope should be quite a bit more detailed. Not sure what the guy was doing with his $20k scope.

Phinny would be higher how? Everyone and their brother could make instances on Phinny. Ragefire, we had nearly everything on lockdown from everyone else (Lockjaw had no instances either?).

During Velious (at least while I was playing) there was no xfers allowed that I knew of.

I was pissed on Ragefire that we (Darkwind) awoke the Sleeper crazy early. There was no other guild remotely close to an ST keyed raidforce and the leader felt we needed to go ST 2.0 for "better loot for everyone". Fucking pissed a lot of people off in guild. We had total shit drop rate on Monk...

Provided you have very dark skies and have reasonable eyesight, you can see Andromeda with the naked eye. It is actually quite massive and if it were brighter, this is its relative size in the night sky! If Andromeda Were Brighter, This is What You'd See - Wait But Why Another fun fact: We...

Unless you have the new PS4 Pro, it only does 1080p anyway.

If Live wants any real chance to pick up fresh blood, they need a complete AA overhaul to combine abilities. Plus, there needs to be some kind of item clicky consolidation effort. As has been said before, it is just a huge bloated mess these days. I know on one of the Emu servers a guy coded a...

Pretty harsh comment. The jet car had a front tire failure (caught on film from onboard camera), which basically shredded itself at speed sending the car out of control. Nothing Hammond did wrong. The article linked above says this recent crash is under investigation and the cause is unknown...

Surprised Friday's tech stock hit isn't beings discussed. Short version is Goldman Sachs basically called the tech market a bubble, which wiped nearly 2% off the Nasdaq Friday. Today's open has continued that bleed and we are down another 1%. Apple has been downgraded and was down 4% earlier...

Because in 99% of iterations, over time people will figure the best min / max combos and no one else worth a shit would spec outside of that. You said yourself, a War, Sk, or Pal would be stupid to go for anything else besides Defensive builds. FWIW, this was EQ2's AA system. You had AA trees...

I loved my AA like everyone else, but in reality, to keep new players coming to the game it creates a massive hurdle. Then you get to the point like EQ where you just have to auto grant shit or have massive AAXP modifiers when you are so far behind. What is the point then? Look at today. You...

The fuck you talking about? I use my card for convenience and always pay it off before the end of the month. I haven't paid interest in probably 10 years or something ridiculous. My score has been 800+

It's just the era with poorly thought out item stats. Indicolite Helm - Project 1999 Wiki Planar armor for a warrior with CHA and INT only !!

Qwinn in South Karana can also have the robe. Brother Qwinn - Project 1999 Wiki

Yea, bounce the zone until you get Bro Z in a robe. Kill him, loot robe, win.

Pretty damn sure there have been significant changes to charm. Having reliable near full-duration charms was unheard of back in the day. It was nowhere near as reliable as now.

My bad. I had in my head it was 18.

He doesn't have charm yet, hence the frustration. Just wait it out padawan.

If my memory serves, the zones aren't static. Meaning, you can cheese the Fabled Skeletal Warlord to pop by entering and leaving the zone repeatedly until he is up. Sometimes you need to wait 20-30s for it to de-populate before zoning back in. Just use MQ2 to check if he spawns. Or, you can...

Fabled Cloak of Flames from PD. I do not recall any weapons for Monk. It has been a while though. You can, however, camp the Fabled Tranquill Staff from Skeleton Warlord in KC. (doesn't drop in VP)

@Void Like I said, the only thing realistically holding me back from Overlord is the 35k leech count. You have to be one of the primary uploaders on a regular basis and beat everyone to the punch. First with a valid scene posted wins. I managed to get literally 1 episode of 1 show up recently...

Really weird. I use my headphones on my phone with Spotify at the gym on my last Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 phones and never had this issue.

Just got around to watching this final season... Does no one else think that LJS killed Flint?? I don't think he got that gay fairytale ending. That was the story LJS told to Madi. Hell, even she questioned the logistics of him sending a man to the plantation all the way in the US to seek out...

Think your wife's friend brought her girlfriend along.

Some devices have volume limiting built-in. You can disable it in your phone.

I can't remember if it was @Void or @a_skeleton_03 that asked how I got such a high BTN Bonus Point rate before the forum nuke. I basically said it was about file size and Seed Multipliers. I believe you posted a screenshot of around ~266 files seeded, but your bonus rate was kinda abysmal. I...

Never really moved the files anyplace else to be honest. Damn near everything is Bluetooth connected these days, so I use my phone to BT connect to my portable Bose speaker, my truck, my home theater, etc.

I pay for the premium service and I love it. You can set higher quality streaming too. I use the download playlist option quite a bit before going out on camping trips and whatnot.

Great advice in here so far. SVS Subs and Yamaha receivers. I have always used Denon myself, but high end Yamahas have a great rep too.

Love my Spotify. Been using it a year or two now without issue.

If this is purely about wanting your caffeine fix, but saving on liquid intake, why not just take caffeine pills? You don't have to force yourself to drink something you don't enjoy and caffeine pills are FAR cheaper than coffee.

The entirety of episode 6 was simply recovering an anchor. Nothing else. I do enjoy the show. I am an avid diver and a space nerd, but fuck the pacing. We might see some gold coins by Season 7.
