Yeah computing tech journalism is all hype. Meanwhile you go to communities like this one and it's a bunch of old dudes shrugging at Moore's Law and saying it's probably smart to skip generations.

Yeah I needed to buy a new card when the 20x0 came out and all the articles warning of that motivated me to but a used 1080ti instead. No regrets. I'm thinking of buying a 3080 when this comes out.

Enforcement of no training is ridiculous. I'm not the kind of person to train but let the players play.

Am I the only person coming into Kunark on Aradune with a level 50 and the plan to try and see all the level 45+ content as I level and not really worried about XP-quality?

The no-training rule is horseshit. Training is an integral part of the EQ experience.

Aradune has GM enforcement, but they all act clandestinely because, like just about everything DPG does, their policy is self-defeating. An extremely visible GM presence would be very effective. Bannings and suspensions should be made public on the forums. Hell if I had my way if you get banned...

Yeah I agree with this. I think people played casual AF in 99/00 but not because they willfully chose it, they just didn't know any better. I sure didn't. Now even casual-joe is expecting to hit 50 and start farming BiS gear.

also I don't care if Charlize Theron is in a sequel. She SJW'd so hard she turned her kid queer and her part in Fury Road was so easy anyone could have done it. Quentin Kenihan had more range. Also if my second born was a girl their first name would have been Furiosa (seriously).

This is my favorite movie of all time. I normally avoid watching any movie twice but I've seen this movie so many times my internal monologue has evolved to just being Blood Bag over and over.

I gave up trying to level in areas with loot that is of interest to level 50s pretty quickly on. It's just the natural order of things on a competitive server where valuable loot is scattered in areas that sub-50s can get to. It's kind of refreshing vs the modern paradigm of get useless garbage...

Steam should delete games from your library if you try and run them on anything but Windows 10. You're going to take your forced updates (that require me to reinstall my sound drivers every few weeks) and like it.

My dad and I have been leveling in kedge. Like Zaide says it's big XP per kill but the mob density is just too low. Boxing is also a huge hassle because /follow doesn't work.

Yeah I was wondering how you guys would deal with it. When I saw it was 4x mages I figure you guys could probably compete with level 50 necro bots once you hit 31 and got Blaze. I leveled up a dru/mag to 32 for ports and was amazed at how much single target damage mages do compared to wizards...

You guys picked the perfect day to do this. Friday was lagged to hell after 3PM EST. Today at 4PM EST I've been zoning for about 20 minutes now :D I guess everyone was out having BBQs yesterday so the server performance was great.

What classes did you guys go with? Looks like 3x mag, enc cle and?

impressive!

2 box per person, no ip limits

which is what makes zaide's marathon particularly interesting. It's too bad classic (to my knowledge) doesn't have areas with particularly powerful monsters that most people would avoid. There are a few areas that are tough because of mobs that mez or are tightly packed (mistmoore), but there's...

SolB is a mess, buncha randos farming everything and half hour spawn times.

Where you planning to play in the forties? We are checking places out and haven't found anything with enough respawn for the three of us. In kedge right now, it's a pain to box in.

twink/plvls or any other rules?

Deathless runs in EQ kinda need other stuff to have meaning. You really need to do it like zaide is where he is soloing, self found and also going into dungeons. Without those three things it's trivial.

How we all remember the original Deus Ex How Deus Ex really was

Yeah that bullshit is really annoying. Me (enc/cle) and my dad(nec) can usually cut through whatever, but getting through cross wall healing spam is cheesy.

Hit 41 today in lower guk, respawns slow AF. We are fixing to hit cazic thule next. I don't see a lot of people going to that zone, how come??

not in the vid is me frantically telling my puller to leave zaide and his mob alone, lol.

they did, lol I tried explaining that you were playing a game beyond our comprehension, but they just got pissed you wouldn't take the damn sword.

Zaide got super screwed in the great Shin lord KS of the century. Sorry, bud.

this meme image has more compelling lore than the last two expansions combined.

Just tried to initiate charge backs, they said, "Sir, this is a Wendy's." I told them I wanted a chalupa and get the hell out of my face.

Just cancelled my ten aradune subs for the third time this TLP

aradune is fracked. I bet this whole weekend is fucked. DPG needs to put a 50% XP/spawn penalty on TLPs for the first month.

I never played EQ2, so I can't say whether EQ2 is like today's TLP just not in pussy-mode.

I want a TLP server with 1. Everything is No Drop, get fucked. 2. Everything has double HP, get fucked. Doesn't impact charmed mobs, get double fucked. 3. Everything does double damage, get fucked. Doesn't impact charmed mobs, get double fucked. 4. Snare/fear/root/mez/charm/lull has less...

I can't speak to raids where MotM is present but I'm leveling a dru/mag combo and mages are powerful as fuck at low levels. I just got bolt of flame and am just blowing up mobs.

one can hope :D

They don't. Frankly it's more important that the game is made more difficult than made more balanced. The losers making rogues in classic can eat the poop they asked for, but people rolling mages on classic and then asking for more power are silly.

I can't speak to kunark/velious but casters(and monks...) are overpowered in classic because they aren't gear dependent while everyone else is and gear blows. Giving them a boost by enabling focus so that gear is useful would be silly. I'd love to see a rebalancing done on early TLP to make...

Really hoping this is something other than routine replacement and is instead an escalation in service.

yeah remake this shit in screenshots @Kharzette
