    I got sk, shaman, ranger. 2 dps casters and ine cleric merc. I had one caster and one rogue merc, but I found the rogue merc died alot when multiples were pulled and I get way better TTK with 2 casters. I like the ranger for set and forget dps, outdoor calms, ghetto root mez, even vineleash for...

    You dont need any of that. Just make a mound of lump in your komodo, place 3-4 cotton balls soaked with alcohol and the stuff is ready in 5 min. But do what you want bro, just relaying some infos. for slow smoking at like 225-250F you want the charcoal to burn slow from top down. so in essence...

    Quick and fast burn and no fuss no mess. some guy at home depot told me about this and I tried it and never looked back. Also no chemicals some of that shit is soaked in. like starter fluid. Might not be important for grilling but it is for smoking shit for long time as not to impart any off...

    Use good lump coal. And use a few cotton balls soaked with alcohol to get it started. Keep it at a low air setting because once that shit gets out of control temp wise, its hard to bring back down. Its always easier to adjust up rather than down. Buy yourself a nice thermometer. I have one that...

    Well if you consider quality 200-300 mind numbing boring ass quests,2-3 on rails dungeons consisting of 2 corridors and 2-3 raids that are farmed for 2 yrs quality, well, obviously we differ in what we call quality. Look I get WoW is a quality game, no doubt about it, just not my cup of tea. The...

    But blizz takes 2 fucking years to release an expansion, EQ had 1 every 9 months. Yeah some of that shit was not finished, tuned, but content is god in MMRPGs especially PvE ones.

    McDonalds giving away Big Mac sauce tomorrow

    I worked there when I was 15, back in the late 80s. Back when they made shit fresh, almost to every order. Then later in the 90s they added storage bins to the operation, like Burger King had. So they cooked the meat and placed it in a warming tray, this is why shit tastes like cardboard now.

    That was later on in EQ. Back in classic-pop era those pets were squishy as fuck. Only later did they give them many many passes of power throughout the years.Then on top of it all they nerfed the way exp was gained back in like late 2001, so yo had to do 1/2 the damage to a mob to get full exp...

    Poll Would you play this?

    EQ was never hard. It was tedious and dangerous at low levels until you established a network. Once you were lv 50+ and had a network of buddies it was easymode, yet still tedious as hell. Gameplay mechanics were basic tank and spank for almost everything, with a cleric rotation and as much...

    I agree there. At least Daybreak is not going after the emu community for Everquest, hty kind of said good job and left the shit alone and while P99 was a shit show of cash for items sales and shit, GMs taking shit off banned characters and selling the stuff for RM..etc. I gues they locked that...

    Yeah for sure but where to spend the cash for an upgrade? Im willing to bet that a 1070 will be way better upgrade to his gaming than a proc. Unless you want to go hog wild and drop $800-$1k for the whole thing. I would wait for the next jump intel anyways. Supposedly from what i read the next...

    The problem is that you just hit a place where yove basically finished everything. I played on a server like this VoG, took 4 toons leveled them up strictly through dungeons, geared them up as best as I could, etc.Veksar, Sebilis, Shassera, etc. then you just hit a dead end. PoP was the next...

    Yeah I heard that recently Daybreak went through the item database and made a change to some 50K+ quest items that didnt have a quest tag on them. Basically fixing most of the broken quests in EQ that were broken since day one.

    You could not do crawling in EQ anyways because of the level disparity between mobs. Most dungeons had a level range of 10, even 20+ levels between the entrance and the bowels. Some even having raid encounters at the bottom. And while im sure the original intent was to be crawled through...

    Hey, never said eq didnt have its faults either. Some of that shit was brutal in eq, like the camping for shit. Its all tradeoffs. Also dying down there and trying to get all your shit back. None of that was necessary. Like i said middle ground.

    Those were all tuned for that nice little 45 min run thorough.
