One complaint I saw about Gunbreaker is they were a little too simple, so that could be good for people new to tanking, but a turnoff to seasoned people

Twitch stream invites us easy to explain 1) it’s popular with audiences at the moment 2) lots of streamers are bored so it’s something “new” and nostalgic

I don’t play healers so I can’t comment, but reddit and other places are enraged with the healer changes. Sounds like they’ve been homogenized to a degree and have very limited dps options as well.

The fact the prior TP using abilities are now free to use is MASSIVE. As a SAM, my ability to AoE was always capped by TP bar, since the AoE combos would drain your TP like a mofo. Now that they are removing the multi-target penalties AND making it free to use, SAM are going to be fucking AoE...

Reddit summary videos...cuts to the point pretty quick

Heh no shit. Can you imagine if this ecosystem got its start back in the EQ1 era? I would have been doing this (in theory, officers would probably be like "NO RAID STRATS!!!")

Pretty much. The first wave people who stuck with it have pretty loyal followings. Breaking into the scene now is hard, even if you are friends with bigger names, unless you have talent, looks, or a lot of personality/are entertaining. Games help a lot too if you combine the above with a...

A legit Expanse MMO in the vein of this would be sick

Pretty much Epeen advertisement. lol I had forgotten about the Drow cart. It wasn’t everyone, there was like 5 people who did it on a regular basis, then the occasional person who would afk on the cart while they did RL shit or were just chatting.

For SrB, Hildi and Nashu need to meet their alternate universe selves. Nashu's counterpart would be a fat miqote lol

Our server did have some creative people, though. Greyfoo used to make music videos back in the day

Bleh, the internet archive didn't archive my image manips I used to do for our website updates when I was in charge of that ;( Did find a pic from our first Nef kill, though

Scorned was hot for a few months during the MC/BWL era, then imploded/fell apart if memory serves. I think they got the first Rag hammer for Alliance side (Srot got it? I forget). I remember shit all about our server firsts (could maybe check the old webpage on the internet archive), but I...

Hero Gauntlet mode is pretty fun. It’s basically gun game, but with heroes. Final hero is hammer only Torb.

Ya, for leveling crafters, just do your Moogle/Namazu dailies and custom delivery weeklies if you don't want to go too hardcore. Ixatl is barely worth the time invested vs. reward...you're better off spamming leves to get to 50 so you can start doing moogle quests.

Unless you plan to spend money on a MSQ and level skip, I would get started now to at least wrap up MSQ for SB. Your access to the SrB main content is going to be gated behind that. If you pre-ordered, you also get a 30% bonus XP earring that lasts until level 70. Only downside is this is the...

Yes, because it was so much fun to spend 20 minutes traveling to a dungeon, then your 5th bails on you at the last minute and you sit around for 30+ minutes spamming the zone for a replacement. Doomhammer (the server) had a fuckton of EQ1 people on it. A bunch of us from the BFA/Element of...

Accumulated meditation? Maybe they're making that skill less ass.

Cross realm is with your datacenter, though. You're seeing the same populations, even if you don't notice it. It's not like it is just spinning a wheel between server 1 and 200. No companies like to risk obvious merges, though, unless the game is so fucking dead that they have nothing to...

Cross realm came about because it was either that or old fashioned server merges. Cross realm, no one bats an eyelash. Server merges quickly turn into "OMG DEAD GAME, WE'RE FUCKING DEAD! BAIL OUT NOW". They're fundamentally the same thing, except you log into the "same server" with...

Non-instanced dungeons have a host of problems 1) If your game is popular, then the place is too crowded 2) If your game is dead, then it might be overwhelming for the RvR 3) If you implement limited instancing, people are going to try to get into the less crowded ones because despite what...

Horrid by today's standards, but compared to EQ1 and other MMOs at the time, it was amazing.

Once the novelty wears off, people will start to remember why lots of this shit changed.

Pretty much this. Back in Vanilla, getting people to run BRD was like pulling teeth...ESPECIALLY Emperor runs. No one wanted to fucking run that shit except warriors and rogues. I agree BRD was an awesome crawl dungeon, but crawling gets tedious after you've run it enough and all you're...

We had 80-100 people raids in EQ1 a couple times (waking the sleeper and Rallos Zek zerg during Planes of Power springs to mind). It didn't feel epic. It felt like a fucking slideshow. I usually had to stare at the floor to avoid freezing. In any event, the days of massive raids that...

I wonder if that is a potential sign of Epic wanting to get more serious in the esports arena.

It's been a long time, but I remember him basically thinking they were too good in EQ1 from an AC and damage perspective and felt warriors needed to be buffed a lot more.

Wasn’t the primary basis giving end game content to smaller guilds?

I do agree there. It will help service rural areas and other places without the proper infrastructure, but I'm not convinced there is enough revenue potential there. Even if he disrupted the traditional telecoms in areas already supplied, at best it would just spark a pricing/investment war...

If you've unlocked Doman reconstruction, use the donation bin. You get much more than a normal vendor will give you and much more than people are selling them on the MB for.

I loved monks in WoW. Only bad thing is it took like 7+ years for Alex to get over his monk hate boner he carried since EQ1 for Blizzard to finally implement them.

It's an awesome idea, but the scope is insane. He literally wants to put up 30x the amount of currently operational satellites into orbit as part of this plan and other tech bigs want to do something similar. Putting that much stuff into orbit, especially when you consider what could happen if...

If John Connor missing was explained away as he time traveled to the future to chase John Henry / Cameron's chip, then this would be an awesome movie lol

Looks like datamined armors from SrB

Only true sequel to T2 I will accept is Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles

Augmented tome armor will last you close to cap if they have gear scaling similar to prior expacs

Hmm wonder why they’re getting rid of the Samurai execute.

Twitch chat was funny during the stream. Whenever they did closeups of yoshi’s lala in the dancer outfit, people would spam stuff like “open up FBI”

Ya, not sure what is up with the blonde thing (unless it ties into a Moriarty arc since she is blonde as well).
