Not to be pedantic here but this is my area of expertise.

Mob HP in EQ ramps up considerably around NPC level 40. LDCs have a non-trivial amount of hitpoints. On live servers it's ~5550 and in old EQ it was a little less at ~5250. On top of that, melee DPS in classic era was rather weak. Melee DPS ramped up considerably in Kunark with higher skill caps and much better weapon ratios. (Karnors dropped weapons equivalent to classic god loot) In classic era, melee damage output was somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 DPS at level 50 with raid weapons.

Even a wizard chain casting his level 39 nuke with no resists would take well over a minute to kill a LDC assuming no modern additions or resists. (resists would be highly likely on a yellow) 7.5 seconds per cast times 405 damage = 54 DPS = 13 casts to do 5265 damage = 98 seconds. 405 is the damage of the spell at level 45+ so technically it would be doing a little less if the spider were yellow con.
Not sure if this is still your area but what’s your opinion on them claiming the “database” is too complex to allow for alts

Guys I like to shit on these devs, and my expectations are low, but... some of these complaints seem a little absurd? It takes forever to solo bosses on difficulty 4? So what? Theres only 5 difficulty levels and they allow groups of up to 8? If the 2nd hardest could be soloed in minimal time after minimal gear farming, that would mean there's no challenge anywhere.

As much as the game needs to be solo friendly and let dad gamers do everything, that shouldn't require every single aspect of the game be a joke only. Having the ability to crank up the difficulty and it takes a bit unless you group up doesnt seem so bad to me.

These are solo instances so no there won't be groups inside them, and the people taking 30 minutes on them have circle jerked in Sky for weeks multiquesting all of the gear to +5-10 - there is nothing left for them to farm.

Fuck off coming in here making statements when you don't know what the fuck is going on.

Actually you're wrong because solo instances don't mean you can't group. You spin it up just like you would a normal DZ.

So, um sir, you're kind of retarded.

WR and hold giant? I have a couple spots where I can murder bears en masse. At 30 I get bigass dimensional bags as MAG.
Regular Hand Made Backpack is 10WR, 10 slots, and holds large. Dyed ones are 10WR, 10 Slots, and holds giant.

Didn't they specifically say they're making a solo version instance?

They have raid instances currently, and once they work out the kinks they are going to implement solo instances.

So am I retarded or just mildly retarded? People are clearing the raid instance soloing on the 2nd hardest difficulty setting after less than a month and it shouldnt be slow? Or are these solo versions and a harder group/raid version exists that is more difficult?
