    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    I plan on giving it a try if I can get my graphics situation figured out, but will end up on the new Turtle vs the old server.

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    For me, I am having trouble with the massive downgrade in graphics from normal classic to Turtle. Now, I have seen videos of Turtle that look amazing and realize there is something probably wrong on my end. Everything seems to black , dark, and washed out...almost like textures arent loading...

    Downloaded and tried Turtle. Game looks like dogshit for some reason. Project Epoch looked great ( in the few hours in game I got ), no clue wtf I did wrong here.

    So I am seeing that the new Turtle wow server will be European. Ive never done private servers before, will that have any real effect on performance?

    So if this doesn't manage to make it up this week, it will probably a lot more work to get it ready than the think. What is the best alternative for a classic + server that is relatively fresh?

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    Open world pop is a disaster in every aspect. It's nothing more than a gankfest 99.9% of the time and it results in a very few people being able to control the lack of enjoyment for many. Every mmo thst tries to go down this route fails, as it results in nerf after nerf on classes and...

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    Personally think they would be better off just canceling this launch and schedule for a month or so out. Right now you have thousands of people spamming every second to get in and its pissing everyone off. Just make an announcement that they didn't anticipate this demand, and need X amount...

    I think people just want a somewhat new amount to play that is fun. Every mmo that I can think of that has released in the past 5 to 10 years has been terrible. Whether it be in features, performance, or tuning...they all suck. Wows foundation was outstanding and it just got out of control...

    Something to do with them capping the level at 15 to keep the player base close together while people couldn't log in. Apparently completing quests after you hit 15 and would no longer give you experience was paying out a lot of gold.

    The key to getting in is waiting for them to bring down the server and then trying your luck and resetting you spot in the que. Folks have said they have sat in the que 3 to 4 hrs, and then there is an unannounced server restart that kicks everyone and restarts the process.

    I woke up this morning around 430am and saw that the que was 7500 deep. Its gonna be awhile before this is playable I think.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Most of that is due to pvp not having a rank decay. All of your hardcore guilds are pushing a majority of rank 14 warriors that make all of classic encounters trivial. Back in the day, if you were into pvp, you knew the rank 14s by name. Now they are shit out by the 100s. There's a handful...

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    I'm somewhat excited about new mobs, new quests, new zones, few new dungeons, and some profession upgrades. None of those are in any Blizzard supported servers now except SoD. Nothing on the mmo horizon that looks appealing anymore anyways.

    I think mage was wildly popular due to their AoE farming capabilities. If thats been removed, I can see their popularity plummeting. I know a ton of people who had pocket mages, but not that many mains.

    How is the bottting scene on private servers? I enjoyed some time on anniversary classic, but it seemed to be filled with a ton of bots and boosters 24/7 that disrupted the economy, as well as made the 8-60 leveling dungeons fairly empty, as everyone was buying gold to boost to 60.

    AV was just an ends to a mean. If they removed PVP gear from a vendor that was tied to honor, battlegrounds for the most part would be dead empty.

    Where do you download this at at? I think I will give it a go. Right now I'm on classic anniversary, but even with supposedly 10k+ on the server, I feel like it's mostly people being boosted to 60 and then raid logging.

    Would seem like its to counteract the AoE boosting / farming that is so prevalent now.

    Not trying to ask anyone to convince me of playing or anything, but how are these servers? Are they fun to play and have a population to support them? Im back on an mmo kick and its still sad to say that there is still only 1-4 mmos worth playing and are all almost 15 - 20 years old it seems...

    AQ will have more people logging off.... Naxx and TBC will see an influx in population though.

    FIL passed away - Financial advice?

    Just way to say thank you for everyone's knowledge and perspective on this, as this is not something that happens except once, maybe twice in our lifetimes. Losing a parent sucks, and a void will certainly be created in our lives. I'm just thankful that my wife and her brother are amicable...

    FIL passed away - Financial advice?

    My wife's father passed away very unexpected recently. The short version is that he left behind about a $600k pension and a house that's in fairly bad shape, but a cash offer has been made in the $280k range. The money / house will be split between my wife and her brother. Apparently the...

    Sad thing is that after 20+ years, there are really no other alternatives worth playing. You have FF14, GW2, ESO....that's our options. Certainly wish there were more.

    I used to drive over an hour to go Best Buy back in the late 90s. That store was like a dreamland. Miles of brand new DVDs, tvs that were so massive in size and price ( 48 inch and $4k ), that i would never be able to afford them. Actual home sound systems that weren't home theaters in a box...

    I think Sanders fall is more from his attitude and entitlement. Deion certainly did not help with all of the statements made about where he was willing, and not willing to go...then had a jersey retirement ceremony for him etc. Hes always been coached by his dad, and always had things his way...

    Yup, I tried the controller in PoE 2 and got hooked on it. Controller on LE is no problem at all.

    Because I was assuming you were asking because you already had a lvl 71 and complaining about not getting a key to get to a faction earlier on a 2nd char. Campaign skip is not meant for a first time play through. It's there as a mechanic to speed up your alt chars.

    Then something changed, because you used to be able to join a faction on an alt before you hit lvl 6 to 10 by talking to an npc in one of the first areas. No key was needed.

    Favor.is based on experience gain. You gain far more experience faster when you are lvl.50+, than you will going from Act 1 to 7. Things may have changed, but you used to be able to choose CoF or MG on your alt within 30 mins of the campaign starting. I'm not sure what more people want these...

    All the zones are relatively small. Why are you finding yourself having to backtrack through zones? The loot has zero gold value, so it's not like in PoE2 to where you collect stuff to vendor for gold and have to constantly port in and out to sell in the first stages of the game. Campaign...

    Nothing is stopping you from doing so. If you visit any website that posts builds, or visit any youtube content creators builds, they are always going to push for max efficiency for clicks. No is going to make content that gets views for sub-optimal builds. Now that you can respec your...

    You keep saying the engine is janky and dog shit. Are you sure it's not on your end? I've played most all popular arpgs and I don't think any of them run as bad as your describing. Torchlight, T2, Grim Dawn, PoE 1,.PoE2, D3, D4, LE...all run pretty good. I did run into a problem about 2 to 3...

    Last Epoch

    The silver lining in all of this is that Last Epoch was never considered to be actual competition to D4 or PoE / PoE2. Last Epoch, in its current form, already wipes the floor with D4 and has gained enough popularity that it will force PoE2s hand much quicker when it comes to improvements...

    They 100% rushed this patch out to conflict with Last Epochs launch of a new season. That was a bitch move, as Last Epoch wasn't even on many peoples radar. The fact they keep releasing patches that have to have 20 hot fixes days into their new patch is ridiculous. If they want...

    I dont think we will ever know the truth about Ft. Knox. Supposedly our money supply is backed by the gold standard. If it was ever to get out that Ft. Knox is actually empty, it would cause a global monetary crisis in my opinion. If I remember correctly, the last time there was even a...

    I can't think of a modern game that had an economy that wasn't overrun with bots,.exploits, and currency manipulators, right off the bat. Same thing happened here I believe with the last 2 trade leagues being busted pretty much right out of the gate.
