That looks so good in game I am motivated to come roll on Vaniki and then main change to a BL or Mage on Mischief.

It's non-doable before 60. At 55 we had a raid DPS of...I'm kinda guessing a ballpark here, but I think it was around 2.5k. At 60 so far we have 5k ish on a regular fight, could probably spike it higher on a burn call.
Well CBQ regens like 12-15k HP a tick, which is roughly 2-2.5k a second. With our 60 DPS we can do it but it'd still be a fight against the regen. At 55 DPS breaking even by any substantial margin wasn't even a thing.

I know you can delete spellsnew.eff and edd then launch with patchme to get some of the old spell effects back. The hand tracking on animations is still broken, but I normally play old models, old spell gems and old spell effects by removing those files. Running the launcher will replace them though, so you need to skip the launcher when you want to play that way.
You can apparently also delete the combat music and eq music files and use the originals as well that way. That should work for Lifetap particles at all level, no?

Looking forward to a Cragbeast Queen corpse screenshot with all level 55's in raid from you!

It would have been interesting to see how low she could have been taken if Vaniki had the same kind of energy and population we saw on earlier TLPs but it doesn't have either.

Bringing multiple guilds in and making a real run at downing CBQ would have been a blast. Maybe with like a hundred people it wouldn't have been a situation of insurmountable boss regen.
Unfortunately the fight has to be in a DZ for the achievement. Can't remember if it's 54 or 72 limit for the DZ but I think it's 54. Either way, you aren't fitting multiple guilds in the zone.
I'd say the energy is pretty good on this server but definitely not to the level of some of the other TLPs in their heyday.
Between unkillable CBQ and a bunch of 60 achievements that look like horrendous choices, and I mean horrendous, I think some of the wind is out of everyone's sails. However there are also a ton of new zone options and things to do at 60 so that's cool.

Yeah out of dz kills counting would've been better even if it was easier. Maybe if a kill wasn't done in a DZ it could've been given credit in open world for the week before level unlock.

Little late on this, been doing a ton of things in game since Wednesday. We did this on Thursday 6/4/22. P1-P3 was smooth. Dipped our toe in P4 (one shot).
Fun times. Looking forward tomorrows raid. (Outside of raid we been doing tons of quest for Time level loot).

I'm really liking all these POR quests that give high-HEM loot. Still have a bunch of them to get to myself, but it's great to have gear options outside of raids.
An issue I've run into is that most of the good DoN augs still have rec level 70 on them, which lowers the stats of any item you attach them to and renders DoN half-pointless. There are some good 60 augs available, but vast majority are 70. They won't do any damage if they're being equipped on rec 70 gear that's already taking a hit, but on 60 gear it's a huge net loss to equip, say, a 70 weapon augment like Life Sap II. Wish they'd have changed that but nope.

She doesn't despawn while she is engaged. At least, I've never seen it happen when she is killed in a reasonable time. There may be some hard limit engage time we never reached though.
