    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Relentless Insomnia did trak friday and did most of VP yesterday, but I wasn't online for that so I don't know if it was a full clear or just a PD rush or whatever. Not really sure which of the DZ guilds are up to trak yet. Our first two kills were 6 teeth and 12 teeth, so it's gonna be a while...

    Trak dead at like noon CST or something Level 60 done, VP key farmed, time to afk until Velious The medallion drops changing to be from any random trash in the are really unfucks that whole process. Swamp is a bit dicey but with a 20 minute timer it won't be a big deal past the first weekend.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    God this game is amazing. Watching the entire internet reeeee in to the stratosphere is perhaps the best entertainment Blizzard has put out in years. I wonder if maybe they manage to fuck up D4 enough that the normies finally wake up and realized that Blizzard is dead/has been dead for years.

    It's based on everyone in my guild/on the server talking constantly about how they are basically done on Oakwynd when/if a 25th launches. It won't even have to really be a special or fancy ruleset to completely drain the Oakwynd population based on the general sentiment of the current players.

    This is it really. The rules on Oakwynd have potential, but they are way too conservative early on when the game is it's most boring. Having another 8 weeks of Kunark ahead of of us with '25% bonus loot' as the only hook is gonna be rough to get through. By the time PoP rolls around and you've...

    I don't have like real beef with anyone that still plays these things really, I just usually have more fun playing for the underdogs and poking the bear here or there FTE calling a primetime batphone to get ~40 people, combined with whatever the rezikus/getsome shit is gonna turn in to was...

    I mean FTE asked me to raid lead, that's how desperate things were after mabbus crew all the rest of the leadership bailed lol. By like day 10 it was literally down to just the phatezz dude - everyone else that was supposedly part of the leadership had quit or went with mabbu already, so I'm...

    The loot system really does just bring out the fucking worst in people. I've had to just wear blinders for the last two weeks and ignore all of it I'll have a rage stroke and just eject half the raid for being useless goblins. A month in now and generally in an awkward spot. It's pretty obvious...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Yea realistically this system kinda boils down to the same rules as Selo with the shorter DZ lockouts, but just requires double or triple your time investment to level all the stupid alts to do it. Server is gonna mega die once Velious hits and the raid content really camps up, and then just...

    They are also touring again for those interested: https://www.thebabykloktour.com/ I haven't seen them since they played at a fuckin college near me in like 08, but even that tiny ass show back then was awesome with their 2 amps.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Yea this is all fine in theory, but it's not actually happening. What's happening is everyone is whining and bitching about wanting to loot gear for their 'alts' that are level 7 and will never amount to anything but vanity projects. The system on paper is a way to just have any many DZ...

    You just need anyone in your raid to get on the top of the aggro meter through whatever means. Depending how much aggro a tank has you can steal it nearly immediately via rune spam out of a bladestopper, complete heal spams from a soulfire, etc. There's a few ways, but it gets harder to do the...

    I mean calling it 'exploiting' is a pretty wild stretch. Everyone knows how the FTE lock works, and it has to work this way otherwise the game stops being a game with walled off healer groups/raids that can never die etc. Contesting/racing an open world Yael is some pretty cringe materiel in...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Beats me man, I tried having this conversation with them weeks ago but they decided they 'didn't want to alienate DZ only raiders'. So a DZ raid right now earns 8dkp over 4 hours. If they call a batphone for a dragon it'll earn...1dkp per hour, so, 1dkp. There's no on-time incentive, or...

    Yea I got this last night too lmao, I cannot imagine a world in which this ever does anything productive. There's a core of FTE that really wants to be an OW guild, but I think they've finally realized the reality of what the roster they have is capable of doing, or willing to do at 8am etc...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    You have to steal mobs aggro from whoever it is on to break the 'lock' of the FTE mechanic. This means if whoever engages first pulls with something like an SK it's very unlikely you'll be able to actually get enough aggro in to unlock the thing, especially considering anyone worth their salt...

    If it's that easy to get medallions then Ow trak should be a hilarious shitshow

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Yea I'm primarily concerned about trak, as trying to get split forces in to VP without any access to OW trak is gonna take a fuckin month or more. The roster is pretty big with like ~90 active mains on DZ nights, but I'm dubious whether enough of them can/would show up for OW targets at 8am or...

    It's a weird guild for sure. There's a decent chunk of TLP vets from previous forms of Faceless/TEB and such in here mostly cause they have an aversion to Mabbu for whatever reason, but it remains to be seen if there's enough of them to drag the p99 boomers across the finish line in to...

    Yea I don't think trying to enforce some kind of standard on your entire raid force is worth anyones time at all. But when I got in to this problem raid I had the leader do a tank AC check to determine the tank order and two of the warriors they had been using came in at around ~240ac, which is...
