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

    I think it's possible Teek is the highest population TLP of all time. That's my early read just based on the # of guilds recruiting and the # of people in the Faceless discord. It's been a while since I've seen the top raiding guild on the server be 'groomed'. Sazzabi is there, we'll be fine.

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

    Think I'm in the super minority here, but I really can't get into the random loot aspect of Mischief. No trade is cool, but for me the random loot takes away a bit from the identity of the raids and the game. Will probably still play. Not sure that I have the time or patience for Tormax at this...

    I've been listening to a lot of these during my drives into work. Zaide mostly lets his guests do their thing which is well done imo. Having played on a lot of these servers, pre Zaide, and with or against, I've really enjoyed the insider perspectives. A lot harder for me to get into eps on...

    I'm sure it's always been this bad, but jesus the mana and/or regen on these low level casters is insane. I just had a level 7 necro neophyte cast life tap on me literally 19 times in a fight. I ended up just zoning it because i went oom on both of my casters and couldn't dent its hp with my lvl...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Docks vs undead would be a bit different esp as you near 50. I think only thing 50ish in docks is the golem, which has mega hp. Lot of elementals there, which are lower. Undead are about same level as golems but are a bit less beefy. I think those skeletons in the gy are a little lower, like 45...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Looks like someone is trying to manipulate the Krono prices. Everything for sale on the Baz just cleared out (at price ~400k) and is all relisted at 800k or 795. A few people popped barters up at 650k. I assume they'll just turn off the barter if anyone gets near the buyer.

    Do the LOY zones like Dulak's and Gunthak have a high ZEM or something? Surprised to see people advertising for groups there so frequently.

    If they just stuck to the script and truncated books 6-10 into 2 seasons or so, this show would have been a slam dunk. Even if the casting, directing, writing was bumpy, the source material is strong enough and fan base large enough that it wouldn't have taken much to keep it on the tracks...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Unrest always drives me crazy. Long spawn times make it very easy to run out of mobs and there's really one one camp per level range (maybe yard can be split up). Sol A and UGuk just have way higher hit rates for me in terms of not being a complete waste of time.

    Dunno I actually think we actually had more people on for Time last night than we did pre Mischief launch the week before. Was faster and smoother too. Off hours seem pretty thin atm, but raids and bat phones aren't feeling any different yet. I think the mutiny played out much more in the forums...

    Dunno, look at emulators. How many of those 'loot rains from every oriface' servers are high pop? Getting decked removes the carot.

    That one drop looks out of era. Was it all the way back on combine when classic gear from revamped zones was still on tlp? I remember lavastorm specifically had a few drops that were super nice.

    Correct a lot of mobs will rat you out. Not sure what the rhyme or reason is, but pick pocketing in group play isn't that feasible. You can try to do it in HGs and stuff but in my experience between fails and how fast they die its not really worthwhile. Now trolling raids by pickpocking fear...

    Rogue on a fresh server, basically you're not gonna get groups, esp over level 15-20 or so, unless you have pre-made.

    I will say that one of the biggest drawbacks to the zerg guild is the administrative burden, which is absolutely crushed by skynet.

    TEB exhibited the same pros and cons of most top OW guilds that came in TLPs past. Approximately as clean, motivated, probably more organized than any that I've been in. All of these guilds had a tail of bads, they need to. All the non-ow guilds cry about the zerg recruiting. All had cliques...

    I've generally had a really good time on Aradune, and in TEB for that matter. There's definitely a mix of good and not so good players and sometimes skynet sets up a particularly brutal raid, but the raiding from my experience has been extremely chill. I don't envy having to plan for the long...

    maybe i'm crazy, but i always liked having to go to various zones to camp stuff (to what extent that's even possible in tlp's anymore). ssra to do the bard clicky, or mistmoore for hbc or seb for fungi etc. totally unplugging the loot from the zone makes this entire thing sounds like PoE or...

    Would it really be so bad if they just equalized the zems, say to the level of the highest available zem at that level range? There are plenty of places I'd level at if the xp was better. Density, loot etc are a factor, but that is more organic than a natural zem boost. I also loved hot zones...

    I might be in the minority but I like BFA as well. Lot of cool interactions in the azerite power and a lot of ways to potentially gear up.

    I don't know Powpow and honestly don't spend much time in fear.

    If you're a class with fear armor drops, you basically can't get them open world anymore without paying. It's not that people want rots as handouts. It's that these mobs are instantly and permanently killed by shithead necros that sell the LR for krono. You can't get them any other way unless...

    Unrest sucks. It has OK density but a very long respawn. Any decent group will cuck themselves out of mobs very quickly. It's also a haven for powerlevelers because no healers and no runners (mostly). A lot of times, you end up walking all that way and then having to do a long and painful...
