I think there can be a solid middle ground with the raid content. These guys seem ultra opposed to the word instancing which is why Kilsin is pushing for the VG solution so I will just pretend that the Phinny style system is off the table for now. Imagine Luclin but everything has their VG...

Yeah I guess Kilsin was on the VG team. I mean from a casual perspective it's cool but it completely destroys any competitive aspect to PvE raiding, it also devalues the economy since there is so much raid loot floating around, unless loot is all no drop which then wtf do you buy anyway? Either...

I've seen Kilsin frequently advocating a system where raid mobs are open world and respawn in 30-60 minutes but when you kill them you get locked out for X number of days. It's kind of like turning raid mobs into an open world welfare office imo. I think there should be some version of...

As long as I don't have to sit through another DBG mandated 6 hour rotation agreement that has to be recorded and fucking transcribed I will be golden.

After a yearish of poopsocking it on the last TLP I was definitely bored, but I'm looking forward to running things on Pantheon. You already know the drill w/ this kind of launch. We're looking for people with ultra high playtime on launch (if not always). The goal is people who are like...

I went full retard and got a VIP pledge. Hit me up if you want to do some raiding with forum bro's if this game ever launches.

Yeah Poison Cavern sucked and fuck the water level with all the holes in the floor.

Just finished the first island at level 55. That warrior of the west dude was such a pita.

You get some items with huge bonuses vs paralyze shortly before Bat Bitch which trivialize the fight if used. Her purple cone never paralyzed me once I used them.

I remember casual guilds simply not raiding. Guilds back then were a vehicle for social interaction for most players.

Better raid composition, better raid leading and better raiders. Also like others mentioned, theres a ton of extra AHR loot there which is pretty close to EP quality. Also I assume you guys are running 72 players which is a huge difference.

Most people use seq for boxing and getting named mobs in group/solo content. Every guild has people using it. On Vulak when we had a veritable witch hunt against it we knew members were using it. You just cant stop it because its so convenient. Even the SoE and DBG staff in our guilds used it...

How is progression going? Anyone drop Carpin yet despite zone issues? Anyone pushing RZ yet?

I thought I'd be satisfied after the success on LJ but I find myself planning for the new TLP already. My problem is that its never fun unless I am in guild leadership. I need the politics.

Yeah its a shame we wont see how successful Phinny could have been in the post PoP era. I'm sure it will still survive but a new tlp just in time for GoD will hurt the population a bit.

I didnt know you could automate output seq logs to twitter.

Yeah I remember that haha. I think FI had him asleep for eight or nine months and then invited the other guilds (what little there are) to wake him too.

Not Phinigel, but the guys in FI on Lockjaw woke the sleeper recently. Video courtesy of Lexi.

I can confirm reading this on the official forums a while back. The one item that stood out to me was Glowing Black Stone losing its quest tag and the dev explaining that some intern was working on a quest for it or something and no one knew what happened to him or the quest.

No idea why Beastlord slipped my mind there. I guess the distinction between a Mage hybrid and a Wiz hybrid would be pretty thin, but I still think a spellblade would have been a cool and obvious class decision to build.

I played a Bard back in the day and although it was a blast, the complaints were well founded. Twisting for 8 hours straight while grinding was draining sometimes. I wonder why they never did a Wizard/Warrior hybrid, or mage or shaman based hybrids for that matter. Why just...

Can I donate to this kickstarter?

1-20 was some of the best EQ content. Blackburrow, Crushbone, Unrest, Oasis and Uguk were tons of fun.

Can confirm. Will be there monopolizing content.

I mean, if you're not into this type of game then I don't think it will ever work for you. Right now it's just like w/ the last stream, everyone is pleasantly surprised and there is some good chatter about the game. In a few weeks everyone will be back to shitting on the game.

Lawling @ all the former/current Modest Man guys eating 10 day suspensions or Permabans because they had a prior suspension from Modest Mans rotation violation in classic on Lockjaw. That moment when your own stupid rotation rules are haunting your guild members like 16 months later.

Anyone have a synopsis for the movie/anime they recommend? Basically what should I know about this world going into it?

My wife just bought me a copy of this, I'll be playing it this afternoon. I'm really hoping to finally play a good final fantasy game.

I've been trying to find some foam core / foam board in Japan for a few days now with no luck. Trying to build actual sets for my D&D campaigns.

Apparently it was just a bug. The salt from that vote failure would have been legendary though.

Finished the DLC, total time was prob around five hours and a decent chunk of that was spent backtracking and being lost as to what comes next. The final boss of the dlc was definitely a fun fight, but overall something longer w/ greater lore implications would have been nice.

Enjoying the DLC so far, not overly challenging or anything (at level 90) but it hits the mark for Dark Souls difficulty. As far as PvP goes, I'm seeing a lot more UGS users but they haven't held up any better to my Sunlight Straight Sword than they did at launch. The one thing I regret is...

I enjoyed the EQ system where you made the map yourself running around. The tradeskill map idea is genius though. A whole new corner in the player economy.

Yeah. It was Modest Man aka Citizen aka OGC. Had some other guilds form and ally to compete throughout classic and early kunark. AD was some Fippy guild before, MiM was there and there was another guild whose name I forgot. We only socked much near the end of classic we did a ton of racing...

Lockouts and very fast respawn are more or lesss the same as instancing in the end. As for triggered content, people will def snag a raid mob you spawned. Even on things like your epic final fight. Hopefully Brad and co are considering all of this.

Casual players wont see a raid mob much less kill one until they instance content, and by casual I mean people playing less than 12 hours a day. Those first six months will be glorious though. My batphone is ready.

Our SK and Necro crews were our top dps. They all rerolled gnomes and shit and bid on Vox cloaks for dps. We had one guy who always crushed parses, he was married to our Druid officer. Cant recall his name. Edit. His name was Krinadon. The only issue was his wife formed cliques of dumb nerds...

Ray/Quaz are def the best Rogues I've played with. Just no Rogues on the list. I was also seriously considering putting Oksain on there too. It's hard not to have a time bias, favoring some players I played with most recently.

Spit-balling my top ten in no particular order: Yawgmoth - Nec Frosin - Wiz Nitsude - Monk/Ench Across - Nec Oingo - Bard Pann - Bard Depredation - Paladin Noroku - Paladin Tanulie - Cleric Metalogre - SK I've played with tons of awesome players, my list is probably a poor representation of...

I wonder if they'll do it like EQ where a lot of the really high end zones are added post release. In classic they added Kedge, Fear, Hate and Sky weeks and months after launch as part of in game events. Sky release was like right before Kunark. For the record, I'm cool with zones being added...
