As said already, disable shadows. Its a CPU pig. The game was designed to run on a single core (not sure if they ever optimized) and to make matters worse, the shadow engine runs off of CPU cycles. You can sometimes see a doubling of FPS by disabling them. It's a shame too because they look great.

Most gameplay vids are of people raiding with their graphics settings in the floor for max FPS / reduced delay. Despite some questionable character models, I always loved the graphics and had a beefy enough system that my raid settings were fairly respectable too. You have to remember there are...

I am American and worked all around the world, so have played on AB (Euro) server since it opened. It's always had a great community and atmosphere. Kroz is spot on in his assessment. Go have fun and poke around with the Euros. In your case, you can always transfer away when you move in...

As much as I would love to see EQ3 happen, you know they will not do it. They do not have Blizzard's revenue and have a fraction of devs. They have already pulled dev manpower from their other titles to work on EQN. There's just no way they would split that up even further. They are going to...

EQ2 did the 24 man raids (4 groups of 6) and I just didnt care for it nearly as much as the larger EQ1 raids. With so few people, it was pretty specific and restrictive on the necessary classes. Again, EQ2 as an example had 24 classes and 24 raid slots but you would be damn sure there was always...

I really enjoyed the raids, honestly. The encounters were fun and interesting, but it was just a simple burn out from the itemization that killed it for me. We were #1 server guild but it felt like bashing our heads against a wall for months on end to defeat Hard Mode encounters, where the...

I live in Doha, Qatar (highest GDP in the world) which is basically an extreme boom oil / natural gas country. They are the next Dubai in terms of westernization and the city is scattered with 5 star hotels all over the place. Gordon Ramsay has two restaurants here and one of them will do a 3...

Off the top of my head, they didnt re-itemize the entire game. The mess started in Velious forward, so you have everything previous to play around with.

Jesus, HDs are still insanely high. I purchased a bunch of 2TB Western Digital drives before the floods and price hikes and they were about $90 each. The one you linked is half the size (1TB) and $130! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822178338 ^^300% more storage for 28% more...

I quit in Velious because of the terrible itemization. Has it gotten any better at all?

I played a warrior. Vanilla was pretty bland. Auto-attack, bash (eventually kick), and taunt. That was about it. Eventually you got disciplines and Defensive was the only one used 98% of the time. Positioning helped quite a bit. A good warrior would pull the mob into the camp where the rest of...

Torrid, what's your char name? Just trying to keep a FoH friend list as i grind through the levels. My char name is Jysin. 38 now. Zzzz...

I just hate when the two companies start playing the name game and recycling old products. I've seen people talking about buying the new nVIDIA 770 cards, which are simply rebadged and slightly tweaked old 680 cards. (Hint: The GPU in both the old 680 and the new 770 share the same GK 104 chip...

I think using Brad and Curt as the only examples is fairly misguided. It's two examples on the extreme end of the spectrum of BS, PR, and RL drama. On the other end of the spectum we had Hartsman. He came here, posted fairly openly, knew his shit, made EQ2 a signficantly better game (EoF /...

It was funny meeting up with some guildmates in London for the first time way back around Luclin. We had played together for years up to that point and you subconciously just come up with pronunciations for all these places in your mind. It was quite jarring sitting at a bar with a dozen guys...

I think this specific instance was for shilling his crappy Emu server in this thread every other post.

Fairly sure he is in RRP, where he belongs.

As someone who only moderately followed and posted on FoH over the last 10+ years, it took months to even realize this site (Rerolled) was even up and running in its place. One day I tried clicking on FoH and simply found the "That's it I'm out folks" or whatever nonsense it says now. Granted I...

Perhaps this isnt a "one size fits all" comparison. I really didnt mind it at all in the BMW because it was seamless and didnt feel like any delay to me getting my foot on the gas. That doesn't mean there are others having the same experience in cheaper brand cars. I can certainly see a poor...

I downloaded this one and hadnt seen any trailers or anything about the movie. Going in blind, I actually liked it quite a lot! There were a few plotholes here and there, sure, but this is better than the other big budget movies of the year so far!

^^^ This. The sheer amount of concentrated mass you need is just staggering.

We already have the moon slowing the Earth's rotation down for us. Considering the sheer size of the moon and how slowly it is occurring, I doubt we will take on anything that would have any appreciable effect on the Earth. (With exception of it crashing down out of orbit)...

I am most curious to hear about itemization. I left EQ2 during Velious because of their terrible itemizations changes that made cookie-cutter copy / paste item slot to specific stats bullshit. Those exact same stats on the item simply scaled in difficulty and had no unique attributes. SoE...

On the 3 series BMW I drove in London last year with this feature, as soon as you even slightly lift off the brake pedal pressure it would restart. I wouldnt even have my foot on the gas yet and it would be humming. Again, the Stop / Start function could be turned off via the iDrive control Menu.

Has it been revealed when, on EQ1/EQ2 timeline, this world is supposed to exist? Or are we still in the dark on that kind of basic info? Much of those racial starting areas would have been destroyed in EQ2 and forward lore.

What is the difference vs buying the original EQ box + Sub? Edit: Shit, Quaid beat me to it.

I am not at all saying your are lying. I am simply stating my experience, as short as it has been over the last two weeks. My level experience has been: solo outside city 1-6, QH / Blackburrowgroupeduntil teens, Unrest solo andgroupuntil 20'ish, Paludal Cavern solo andgroupuntil 25, then...

Double.

You do realize the M3 is not being discontinued, right? The 3 series has split where it previously had a sedan and coupe version both available ( 4dr vs 2dr respectively). Now they are keeping the 3 series as the 4 door sedan and came up with the 4 series as a more sport oriented 2dr version of...

This 4k vs 1080p / viewing distance argument sounds EXACTLY like the old 480 / 720 / 1080 arguments verbatim. 4K is the future and it has a significantly bigger impact than you think. I have seen both the Sony and Samsung versions in person and they are jaw dropping. (Coming from a guy with a...

I would have thought multicore issues were fixed a long time ago. The only thing I know you can try to do is launch the game, then CNT+ALT+DEL to get to the Task Manager. Find EQ under the applications tab, right click "go to process". This should take you to the Processes tab and highlight the...

Slippery slope, sure.. but SoE still has not put any gear of any significance up for SC in the last 5 years? Why start now? There are plenty of people that buy the fluff bullshit, why destroy the game and playerbase (who are buying SC crap in the first place). Given their track record so...

First, let me state up front.. I am against the cash shops entirely because I find them pointless. But what I don't get are all the people talking about "Pay to Win". Going off of the EQ2 SC shop, its nothing but fluff visual crap like appearance slot junk, particle effect crap, non-interactive...

I really dont see the rampant boxing everyone is referring to as of yet. I see an occasional pocket cleric for out of group heals / rez or druid for transport / buffs, but thats about it. Mind, you I am only 36 and played a couple weeks now. But I have had groups in as low as Blackburrow...

Come to EQ Mac.

Is there even a Beta signup at this point? I'd always manged to get into beta for every other EQ product, hopefully the same with EQN.
