    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    EQ anti cheat is a mess, you can use mq and warp everywhere, every day and never get suspended. You can also not use any 3rd party and get randomly suspended cause someone next to you warped (happen to my raid once) and was reported. There is no rhyme or reason to it. If you use MQ, just try...

    Most rangers dont do their optimal dps of 4 nuke + dot + kick ( if no aoe to outrange). With all ur focus effects, it adds up to 100 dps in PoP and can make u keep up with shinai monk even without trueshot. I was doing 500 dps which was on par or higher than the shinai monk on both CT and bert...

    Those are the 3 most important bosses though. Quarm is the first thing u split with EP gear. TZ/VZ are the next bottleneck, then u can split all of time. But I agree overall that wizard can do great, they are just a tad too unreliable depending on player skill and luck/raid management. You re...

    Yea mana song is generally more important than buffing a single group. You can just run chorus mana+ chorus resist+ warsong+rizlona, 4 songs is fine. Probably harmony of sounds instead of warsong if its the only bard, or can melody 5 songs.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Some parses, only time i see wizard on TZ/VZ is on a full raid where the tank gets insta purified of any debuff. These are the bosses that limit your ability to split and get more loots. Keep in mind this is with close to full bis gear on oakwynd, and ranger are better relative to monk in...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    They're terrible against the hardest bosses of time TZ/VZ who have aggro debuff. They are also not the best for overall trash clear if the pace is fast since they go oom (ex: p1-p3 clear). They also don't do that well on quarm splits (quarm has super high resists).

    Without enchanter. My answer, idk about "most" people. Also its a bad question cause it s more relevant to know which class to stack than to know which class u absolutely need one of: most raid will have one of each class for buffs. Shaman by that logic would also be more important than ench...

    Amplified psalm of veeshan is literally mvp of the whole xpac utility wise as far as im concerned. Bard are absolutely required on time bosses during prog lol. You prob just havent played PoP in a while. The most important classes to stack in pop for raiding are cleric/war/bard/ranger

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Agree on the wizard analogy. They ll still lose on the overall to ranger and monk. And are too affected by deaths and mistakes. The bottom line is, ranger will be far more valuable on hard fight during prog ( rathe council , tallon zek) than monks. It s not even close imo.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Meh ranger is by far the best raid dps in PoP. Maybe not in luclin since there is no aoe, but in PoP rangers avoid aoe ramp/slow/nuke while doing their max dps with only elemental gear. Monk needs ton of healing/cures and only slightly outdps ranger with bis gear weeks/months after prog is over...

    Anyone knows if Fight to Engage are done? They had almost no one online during raid times. That would be the next major guild after RI to be done.

    And when they fixed it they gave a 200% exp bonus for a week, which basically trivialized aa grinding (could get 80aa per pot). Luclin expansion was a fiasco.

    They definitely had time on farm on some of these servers and disbanded in GoD. They may have been more newbish on the first tlps, these guys were not raiders in og eq iirc. He also made it clear that he wasnt joining the next tlp and wants to go to live, which I always thought was funny with...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I doubt that is true, likely an exaggeration at the very least. I know they disbanded while raiding GoD last server. But MoM does low man raid (half of them being boxes) so it's definitely more challenging. We did a full VT run with 24 in era, TVK with like 20. Part of it is because Grok starts...

    yea there is still a high enough population that the drop hasn't affected gameplay too much: multiple guilds doing end game content, can still find pug grp at max level, can still find mats in the bazaar, etc. It's probably going to die for real after PoP though, which is sad cause I really...

    Was wondering why we got so many OW VT targets for free. Makes sense. But nothing you mention really matter for people just playing to experience the content / raid. Having to pay 100 pp for spider silk instead of 10 doesnt change anything for me.

    Some type of cheating is tolerated like show eq. Warping and shit will get you shamed for sure. Mossad for example is often mocked on discord for being cheaters.

    Does the burden grow because it accumulates or because the initial grind is bigger every expac? Cause if its the same grind every expac, you ll have a subset of the raid group who will keep up with their mirrors every expac. I played till OoW in OG everquest, and the grind wasn't worse in OoW...

    I find the resilience of players grinding 55-60 in the same 3 camps on p99 much more impressive. You also point to another key reason why tlp are attractive: boxing. I really dont see myself or my guildmates going back to playing one guy only. The game becomes drastically better and more...

    Many people like I would never play on a original EQ server like quarm. I much prefer the more raid friendly TLP experience. I raid up to 6 times a week on oakwynd: VT x 2, Ssra x 2, acrylia and deep. Almost all targets are in DZ.

    I didnt hoard at all, I just stopped caring about weapon and used whatever I had, which is a shame cause acquiring new weapons was always a big thing in zelda, and it felt trivial in botw. Ganeplay wise it wasnt a big deal to me tho.

    2s and 3s ladder is already dead. Anyone can check that with their own 2 eyes by looking at the LFG. Part of it is because of solo shuffle. But solo shuffle isn't working either, since Queue time average above 30min for DPS because of the healers/dps imbalance. Some DPS wait 1h++ for a game...

    Maybe, doesn't mean it is bad for the game. Plenty of activities in WoW I don't like, such as world quests.
