EverQuest Ascendant! Just started in Feb

Yes you are correct they are totally 100% not similar at all.

In thj you logged in for the first time, spent lets just say 10-20 hours leveling to cap and max AA. Once you were at cap you spent 100% of your time killing raid mobs. If you got good rng for drops/Legos good, otherwise you grabbed the normal base gear off the baz for dirt cheap and you leveled them clearing the trash to your next raid boss. Time spend leveling 10-20 hours. Time spend clearing raids = all remaining time /played. AA caps increased per expansion pack but so too did exp spots, lguk in vanilla, veksar/hs in kunark, dragon necropolis in velious, etc. Also each alt you had (total AA per account) sped up the AA leveling time so each new combo you wanted to try was raid ready faster than the previous, to the point that it took less than 4 hours in velious.

In perky you will spend 150-200 hours "leveling" on trash mobs in exp zones hoping for AA scripts. there is no reason to enter raids other than arbitrary unlocks, gear and plat to buy it is so plentiful its pointless, besides everything is trivial due to said gear. You will never make an alt because it will require just as many weeks to level as the first one. Can't even twink because gear is so ridiculous your already twinked, your leveling is based on rng drops.

Gameplay jn thj was soloing progressively harder and harder raid mobs as your gear improved and your character gained more power, as higher tiered encounters unlocked per expansion.

Gameplay in perky is spending weeks and months trying to loot scripts from PoI trash. If you can't understand the difference then I hope you give everquest legends a try you seem like just their type of customer.

For the record im giving ascendant another shot. It atleast has some challenge since its progression (velious just launched) and has gear just like thj. it has a much slower power curve than thj though you start off as weak as normal, but eventually with lucky enough rng and enough AAs you can even surpass triple classes

Cool you are still too dense to understand despite typing the words. What are you doing? Leveling again and farming AAs, about 12% to cap now? Cool story bro. Way fucking slower than thj, not even done leveling your character yet. Nothing at fucking all like thj. The only time you had to grind in thj was once, at the beginning, for afew hours until your character was done. After that you only had to concern yourself with leveling gear if you were unlucky and you did that on the trash between bosses in raid zones, never had to go back to an exp zone again *ever* to grind unlike perky, where *ALL* you do is grind trash in exp zones.

You think grinding trash mobs in exp zones for weeks on end is the same as killing gods and dragons. I get it, its all the same to you because you're still pressing buttons (well mouse clicking buttons and keyboard turning for you i suspect). Im done talking to you shitting up this thread and I hope you are done as well. Good day sir.

Edit: it was really bothering me how a person could type out that they were still leveling, not even 20% done with leveling, yet simultaneously holding the belief that this was *faster* than the 4 hours it took to level in THJ. But i think I figured it out. This isn't a knock on you, but for you the game, everquest itself, is about watching numbers get bigger. You click spell gems, flashy lights go off, and numbers get bigger. That's the game to you.

So yes, on perky your characters stats go up way faster than thj, so in that respect from your pov perky is faster than thj. Do the numbers even mean anything? No, but they went up. You're still leveling yet already clearing all the raids, so what is the point of raiding? For the off chance a piece of gear drops that is +1 gooder of course, so the numbers can go up.

In reality thj and perky are almost diametrically opposed, for anyone who plays for any other reason beyond watching numbers get bigger.

Remember grinding trash mobs for weeks trying to level? Where the only redeeming quality was the people suffering with you, shooting the shit to pass the time, making friends? OK let's keep the grind, but remove the players. Lets keep the weeks/months of grinding, but do it solo, and let's take away the exp bar. No more watching progression slowly tick up in response to your effort and time invested. Instead its gonna be rng loot drops. You can get 2-3 in a row then go 20 minutes without seeing a single drop. That will keep leveling exciting.

And why are we leveling? To raid for gear improvements or maybe to make some plat selling rare quality goods to other players? Nope. Nothing you get will top rb3 stuff that's basically free on the bazaar, and nothing you loot can approach the 200k plat an hour drop rate for vendor trash from a lvl 35 zone.

Its effortless and challenge free but the numbers go up faster than other emus.

Ive been really casually playing perky when I can. SSF. But despite the concept seeming pretty cool, I think the stability issues are just too much for me. Crashing or disconnecting fairly regularly. Weird mob pathing and agro stuff. Through walls etc. may be too frustrating to be worth my thin boomer-tier time allotment for games.
