TBH I'd be happy with people like that just being completely irrelevant, like they used to be. Nobody pays attention to them, nobody cares, let them do whatever it is that they do in their little corner of society. Though her attitude got so pervasive that it's no longer irrelevant, it should be.

It was a while ago, I don't remember anything that happened in those games except that I think Superman went evil at some point and eye-beamed people. Fighting game stories aren't generally the most engaging, though the modern MK/Injustice types have elevated fighting game stories quite a bit.

Kinda like how Cait Sith's mere existence brings down the gravitas of every potent cutscene he's in. -Plate falls, killing thousands of peasants while your heroes struggle helplessly to stop it and the Shinra overlords who planned it dispassionately look on. Cut to a cartoony stuffed cat doing...

As in, any town zone? Too bad you can't switch anywhere, but any town zone is workable. Still say a level 5+ Bard with a drum is a very good idea to Persona. Pre-mounts it'll help a lot with getting from town to town. Be kind of funny to have to duck into Neriak on the way to Sol A/B just to...

I'm guessing buffs (SoW) aren't shared, given the level reset and all. Might be smart to Persona a Bard and get them to level 5 (or higher) with a drum for travel purposes, then switch back once you reach the zone you're running to.

Yeah I'm not sure if people know how BAD berserkers actually are early-era. Most get them to 65 quick once they're available, PL, twink up, whatever the case may be. Zerker starting at level 1 from scratch, until about level 60, is terrible. The flimsiness of a rogue and the low DPS of a...

That's a pretty easy mistake to make since the cooldown refreshes before the ability fires, plus I think it's the only "delayed fire" ability. I imagine a lot of people do that without knowing it, thinking it's just a basic DD. But yeah, Bellow damage is really low until later expansions anyway...

If we're talking about a group and not a box situation, 3 rogues could work (maybe). Ping pong the aggro around, 2 out of 3 backstabbing at any given time. Warrior DPS is so abysmally bad in classic/kunark that if we're looking at those eras I think that would be the worse of the two. Take ages...

There's been some talk about what the best 3-box combinations are. What's the WORST 3-box combination? Like absolute worst? I'm gonna say 2 rogues and a wizard. Wizard ends up tanking everything while the rogues backstab, no heals. Then again even this group could probably win fights without...

I mean, SKs need to be able to tank as backup regardless of era. Also anyone who is multiboxing better have their tank be their raid character unless they want to get stomped by group content. Knew a guy who mained a Bard and had a box Warrior he wanted to eventually be his main, but all his...

I think you were onto something, I switched power mode from "balanced" to "performance" and I think the lag is gone. Gonna need to test it with more rigorous work like editing software in unplugged mode later on and see how that goes, but at a glance here that did seem to fix a lot. Hopefully I...

Who owns Google anyway? Seems like they're behind a lot of weird subversive shit designed to trick people.

Not sure what you mean, but I did run the troubleshooter for power settings and it came back with no issues. Noticed that all the little lag bumps are more of a problem when it isn't plugged in, i.e. running off the battery.

Didn't see any mushrooms near those areas, but yeah, that's probably the answer. Just got tired of running around and continued the MQ. Anyone know the answer to this? Mainly wondering if you can go back and do everything in Chapter 13 via chapter select.

Got a new laptop (16 GB ASUS with a 3050 and an i9 processor). The OLED screen is awesome (first time I've had that on a computer since 2014 or so) and the graphics card is holding up well with everything from EQ to PS2 emulation. Not worried about advanced modern graphics. Only issue is that...

And the Zerker is there to press Warcry. Looks like an optimum setup, I don't see any flaws at all. You doing Test raids?

What's the state of Rat Ears in 2024? Does the quest still work / give good EXP? How many stacks did it take to get a character to, say, level 15 or 20? I've got like 200,000 of them banked on some TLP server. No clue which and can't check because I'm not subbed and almost all of my servers are...

Didn't notice it somehow but now that you mention it... Is that ring loop for attaching it to a leash? Wow WTF. Thanks, that's what I thought. I played both Injustices a while ago and didn't remember this character at all, thought they added the chick from Peacemaker.

I went out of my way to do a lot of side stuff in the first 3 areas. Spent way more time in those than the last 3 areas. Around Gongaga I fell off and started mainlining the story for the remainder. Never beat Odin or did much of anything in Nibel region. Cosmo Canyon I did enough to get Bahamut...

Posted my Wacky Epic Server idea, we'll see how that goes. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/how-about-a-server-where-everyone-starts-with-their-epic-1-0.296850/ Right about now I think my ultimate 25th server would be Mischief 2.0, Kunark start, no box restriction, all...

Nope, nobody has kicked out of it in AEW. Kota Ibushi kicked out of it a decade ago since they were tag partners and knew each other's moves, and that's it. Someone hit Kenny with the OWA a while back and he kicked out of it at 1 and went nuts. Other than that, the OWA is the most effective...

Ranger x3 would probably be a better choice for ISBoxer DPS artillery battery than 3x zerker, plus you could get it going a lot sooner. Maybe I'll give that a spin

Two questions: Anyone know what game this is from? I'm gonna guess one of the Injustices. Also, is that blonde the agent that was on Peacemaker and played by Gunn's GF or something like that? Looks like it could be the same character.

I think there's something to that, I've noticed it too. Maybe blinking is some kind of defense mechanism? These people tend to be afraid of a lot of stuff. Also noticed a certain tone of voice is common that's like they're barely stifling a cry or anger or something.

It always amuses me how people outside top guilds talk about top guild raiding, calling them "no lifers" and whatnot. When top guilds on live usually get all their shit done in one raid night and have the rest of the week to have a life. TLP is a little different, some expansions necessitate a...

Yeah I don't think Sweet Baby Inc actually builds anything on the game dev front. Don't they just "advise" the actual developers on things to add / change to meet "modern standards" and so forth? They attach to existing projects and suck their life out like a Metroid. Not sure they actually...

Sounds like they just fixed it to the intended 10% increase, probably the best way to handle it. I think the focus decays quickly after level 100 but Necro epic is still good up until around then.

Did they fix the 2.0 and 2.5 effects stacking? And are there any other epics that cumulatively stack a 2.5 effect like that (I.e. any other classes where the 2.5 is a must)? Didn't even know that was a thing. Barely played DODH since live so the itemization of it is a blind spot. Lul, that...

IIRC it isn't that hard to get either. Sounds like it's even better than I thought as well. If one is running what I consider the holy trinity of 3-boxing (SK/SHM/BRD), that group really gets sick during OOW. All 3 epics are probably in the top five 2.0s.

Looking forward to a potential Dirge remake that fixes some of the problems with that game. Just changing the battle system to be like FF7R and CCR would fix a lot of the issues by itself. Always thought that game had a ton of potential to be good and failed in execution. It shows a lot of...

In Ogre Battle I would consolidate all of my strongest unit leader characters into one unit and then just steamroll everything with that one unit. Had an overflow/backup unit with a few more strong characters consolidated, and I'd leave that one guarding the base in case anyone slipped by...

For the weapon or the effect? Not familiar with BST 2.0 (or BST in general). IIRC the monk 2.0 and berserker 2.0 are both extremely good weapons for a while. Zerker 2.0 is BIS for the entire level 70 era and I didn't replace it until the Frostcrypt hammer four expansions later. Even then it...

Just had a crazy thought: A Kunark launch server where everyone starts with their epic 1.0 right out of the gate. Gotta be level 40+ for the quests, but it'd be easy enough to eliminate the required level (if they have one) and have a recommended level of 50 so they basically level up with you...

Yeah the Ranger 1.0 is wildly underrated. So useful in general compared to most of the others. Probably top 5 for 1.0s. I like the Bard 1.0 a lot because it takes the place of all of the instruments at once (and it's BIS for all of them in Kunark I believe, maybe also Vel/Luc, not sure). So it...

Bard is certainly one of the most skill-dependent classes though. Yeah you can do all of that if you're "on" all the time. There's no such thing as lazily soloing with a Bard though like you can with a Necro or Mage. That said, the craziest, most off the wall things I've ever pulled off in EQ...

Maybe we'll get Atabishi teaming up with Vicious to take on Faceless. Then Zaide and Sieger have to go out to the jungles of Cambodia to find their old foe AoS and try to broker an alliance. Echoes of Elysium pulls up and no one knows which side they're on, like the Cardassians in Deep Space Nine.

Probably the best Epic 2.0 out of all of them, too. Someone with Youtube talent should make videos ranking the epics and epic 2.0s, with their pros and cons weighed. Don't think anything like that exists on Youtube now. Off the top of my head I'd say the top four 1.0s are Cleric, Monk, Bard...

Meh, wasn't missing anything then. The Mario + Luigi spinoff on portables is probably where all the RPG went. Never bothered with those though. Too bad we never just got a straight Mario RPG 2.

Yeah, in Part 3 I fully expect Speaking of Part 3, when I was replaying the Yuffie DLC I realized that Nero was still around at the end of it and made off with Sonon. Didn't remember that at all, thought Sonon was gone. So we might see Sonon again in Part 3. The fact that Nero's still around...
