Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

Gonna roll up tonight or tomorrow!

Thanks Control.

Nobody liked the quests anyway.

I thought the quests were fine, but the unwritten "don't talk about them" shit was obnoxious.

I would have rather the quests keep you from engaging that expansions bosses. Locking you of exp zones when they were useful seemed kind of dumb.

the boosted stat and reduced mob stats was big plus on NL. There also seemed to be some huge tweak on resists and hit rate. I could tear through a mob 8 levels higher than me like butter as a melee and as a caster I could hand full damage on deep reds almost 100% of the time.

Yup...and more yup.

Control can we get a vendor in PoK selling leather/chain?

I rolled a Shaman this time around. Let's see if this can keep my attention.

I will try this as well. I have no interest in custom content and no 65 quest + autoscribing is a big positive for me.

I found NL late and did not get to play there. Looking forward to this!

Pogi

Im pretty sure I either saw the code for this in the files or Maze posted it in one of the discord channels. Are the current mobs at default health dmg and resists?

Ok, Kunark is in.
Translocators are up with the noob vendors.
I've stripped out most of the placeholders and added fableds back in (a few were already there, but most weren't).

I've been messing around on Stormhaven, but it's just not for me. I have to use some self control and wait until after Tuesday to roll on here. My company requires CompTIA certs and mine expired and my boss wants to kill me heh. Excited to roll here. Thanks for your work.

I played a lot last night. No crashes

Control excellent work!

Yeah I've really enjoyed my time over here so far, kudos to Control !

This server is as advertised. It is the dad's server we deserve. Control is making dad servers great again.

This server is coming along nicely - nice work Control

My only gripe at this point is pet agro / proximity agro. I'm not sure when it was changed or if it was a NL specific change but pet's being able to get agro/hold it even when a melee character was close was really nice for 2 boxing. As it stands now my magician is basically just pling my bard.

Any plans on adding attuning to expansions by killing expansion bosses? Maybe I'm alone in liking that progression and if so, nevermind.
