    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    The duper required vendorable tradeskill materials. I don't play past GoD, in terms of sheer platinum, do later xpacs have resources that are able to scale quickly to take advantage? What is a normal amount of plat on live? People were handing out millions of plat on Oakwynd. It feels like a...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    The most important time to have the 200% xp bonus is the second half of Luclin, when people are eager to raid VT and still need the edge in AAs for competition! 🙃

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    The legacy bonus fuck up is hilarious at how big of a fuck you it is to the people who took the server seriously. Given that the bonus resets whenever there is a level increase, the only real benefit is AA or leveling alts. Seeing how the reward is pathetic (10% per max level character), people...

    Yeah I wouldn't be selling my krono for Zimbabwe dollars at this point. God only knows what they can do to fix this. Lock all servers and reverse 48 hours of krono transactions? Can they even do that?

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Extra life loot and xp bonus was ridiculous. With 3x loot, RI did 4x Atens during the bonus for equivalent of 12 Aten kills in the first weekend. Now going back and doing anything feels as bad as going back to NO DROP after Mischief. It also looks like the legacy bonus isn't applying to AA...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I still believe the original idea was made in good faith. Brad was an 'idea guy' who bought into ' The Vision' stuff (hence the name of the company). Unfortunately, real life (and drugs) won out. You need more than idea guys to make a game and the rest of the connective tissue and support...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    This is Firiona Vie, so I'm guessing Mr Sox is actually a quadriplegic who posts solely via text to speech. That being said, wtf played Everquest because of Firiona Vie or Mayong Mistmoore? Is the only thing Pantheon's missing a big titty blonde bitch on the cover?

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Wow, PantheonNEXT! It feels like Pantheon is doing a shadow of the EQ lifecycle, just without anyone allowed to play it. I'd say they were speedrunning it, but at this point, they are basically right on schedule. EQNext was discussed about 10 years after EQ and January is the 10 year anniversary...

    You can also just hide the models completely with /hidemodels. Of course, weapons still show up which is kind of annoying but at least let's you know someone is there.

    Does it need to change? It's just part of the TLP experience. If you want to do Sleepers 1.0, just join a sweaty guild for a TLP cycle and do it.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Cascading was waiting until the boss was about to die, then dropping out of the dz so you wouldn't get loot locked to the mob. A few people remained behind to clean it up and then either loot and scoot or bring in people who won loot. Only people who got loot/stayed to kill the mob got a...

    Best part of PoP wasn't even the achievement targets. It was all the shit you had to do at 55 to get flagged for Sol Ro. RI brought a bunch of people into the zone to spawn a new pick, since the contested quest turn in mob is up on a new pick. The person doing the turn in picked over but was...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    If a guild already can't successfully mobilize to win a traditional dps race, it certainly isn't going to have an entire team with curated buff block lists. Besides, you're going to have your tanks block every single cleric heal? Once anyone gets on the aggro list, they no longer have to worry...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    There are other ways to get on top of aggro that do not require you to hit the mob. Again, this helps people who know the EQ aggro mechanics more than it helps the average player.

    The mob tags to the raid. FTE has some oddities to it that don't match wow from 10+ years ago. 1. You cannot do anything at all to the mob that is not encounter locked to you. The name is grey and attempting to attack it or cast on it gives you a red "your target is in an encounter you're not a...

    Is Chancellor marked as rare? They made it so you can't charm named since then right? With the temporary spawn immunity, it changes up the tagging game, but it'll be interesting to see how key camps play out.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    The issue with FTE is that every 'solution' has a possible exploit. Just taking the encounter lock breaking for example. If you make it so you can't break the FTE encounter, then you have to ensure that you cannot get aggro from an encounter locked mob at all, otherwise you will end up with...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    FTE has some peculiar rules, which just adds to the info gap between the 'haves' and 'have-nots'. The funny part is it doesn't really stop what it purports to solve, other than inadvertent training. PLing is intact and in fact is probably more disruptive to the zone (puller is /ying every mob in...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Technically, DZs should be a much better source of loot vs OW, since the lockout is now per-character and you can trade the gear between alts. Even if you have two characters per account, that's double the DZ loot your account will see / have access to vs a few extra OW targets with zero racing...

    Who cares? Bishi isn't playing on this server and Zaide quit when he realized he lost the race and complained about his sycophants being shitters who can't /pet attack. In more relevant Oakwynd news, Kindran joined RI tonight. :oops: They also got that pesky dual wielding OW Naggy.

    Pet aggro seems fine, charm breaking still doesn't work if you have the pet long enough for it to drop the encounter lock.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    So far the main thing FTE has changed is that the camp lines have blurred and in some cases vanished. You can sit in the back yard in unrest and basically pull the entire zone without worrying about them sticking to other groups or the other pullers taking your mobs. For someone with an unfair...

    Kindran posted that his house / area was hit by tornados and he had to evacuate. Also that his house showed signs of being broken into after the tornado. I'm not sure if he got back online but I don't think he was 50 by the time of the first raid.

    It was inevitable, the two groups are completely different in their approach to the game. As ronne said, it was like taking the kiddies on a tour of the dragons and planes.
