Streaming again this week if anyone wants to watch and make fun of my guild. http://www.twitch.tv/bearforce/ Also can't believe people are still complaining about the AA granting when you can turn it off if you want to be a true nerd and grind out your aa with honour.

Anybody know of a command I can use (in MQ if I have to) to auto-buy Glyph of Destruction? Max AA's and rebuying that on every pull is annoying.

Uh MMOBugs has a full Test install, or at least they did. I stopped caring once I only logged in for raids, but if you want to MQ, MMOBugs has it all. I'm not sure what else it does these days besides autobuying glyphs, but it'll definitely do that if that's what you want

So do we know for sure that Test server is supposed to be getting the AA change tomorrow? People are saying it is but I haven't seen any down time scheduled for it or anything. Going to try something possibly stupid by /resetAA'ing the 4,500 I earned on him then hoping to log in with all the grantable ones there then having an extra 4.5k to spend. This is probably a really bad idea.

There's no test patch warning yet. Should happen on Tuesday, but to be safe you should /resetaa before logging out of test for the next few days till the patch hits. I'd be doing the same thing, worst that happens is that you have to respend all your AAs. I'm pretty sure nothing will eat stored AAs anymore, if that's what you're worried about. My beta characters carried around about 10k unspent AAs for the last 3 or 4 betas.

Related to earlier, you still get a giant red message saying "You have more than 70 AA saved, use them now or next time you zone they will be deleted". I went ahead and zoned and camped out and they didn't get deleted anymore though.

You can't lose any AA in any way on Test anymore, but every other time they've done something like this, that particular scheme sadly didn't get you any free AAs  The best we've ever gotten is some display glitches between earned/spent AA counts and we tried a ton of different ways to cheat the systemMaybe they'll gently caress it up this time though

So in the SOE thread, in response to a question of "Will the AA patch drop on February 12 (Wednesday)?" the community manager doing the responses said they are aiming for next week. Does anyone have any tea-leaf reading for when that means it will hit Test? Does it usually get a patch a week early, or a day early?

Anybody know of a way to get onto Xegony's island without the key? Two of the islands are bugged out and won't let you target/kill the mobs to spawn the Avatars for the key, pretty drat frustrating.

The /target command doesn't work on the trigger mobs like.. uh.. Sigismond? That's the only one I remember.

Can't even get him to spawn because there's some stormriders still alive on the island that are clipping through the floor and can't even /target them (with MQ2 either), same with the phoenix island. Now I know why our whole guild just suicided at the entrance and had the necro guildleader manually summon our corpses across the zone straight to Xegony.

Anyone got advice on WK raid? For now we have like 5ish tanks grabbing 1-3 mobs each and we try to DPS the adds. We only have 1 chanter so we don't really stun lock them. One problem is tanks grab the some of the same mobs and a few get loose and kill dudes or start summoning tanks and they get backstabbed. I was thinking of having all the knights HA 1 mob each from ExtTarget to just get them out of the equation. Move them slightly away and just solo tank them or whatever. Then the warriors can kinda shuffle mobs and tank 3 mobs each. Grabbing multiple mobs for me is really hard I don't know why. My extTarget interface seems to lag pretty bad, and my aggro is extremely short range.

Speaking of Elidroth, I was looking through my Vanguard beta screenshots the other day, and on one day they were stress testing the servers and handing out flying mounts to everyone. Elidroth was one of them, in fact it might have been him that gave me one. It was fun, until you realized that monsters completely ignored the z-axis and I got killed when I went into a high level area pretty quick despite being a hundred feet above them.

I know the knights suck dicks since Omin and I quit, but that's what they're supposed to loving be doing already. Every knight should be tagging and tanking 2 per wave minimum. The best tries we've ever had came when we used HoTT to designate them to specific tanks -- each Knight gets 2, HAs one, then hits the other with a couple terrors/stuns, then tanks 2 until they're dead. 2 isn't too many to tank at all, just tell them to quit being shitlord pussies You just have to designate individual targets for them because no knight the guild has ever had other than me and Omin has ever been capable of tanking the proper mobs without someone telling them the exact order to mash their keyboard  You just have to treat them like the Warriors who aren't you or Ffalin

Have your beefiest manly warrior grab as many of them as you can and kite, other warriors tank what mobs come through and tell the knights to pull mobs off of the warrior and have your dps kill those mobs. That is the easiest way if you don't trust your tanks/healers to be awake.

We got some attempts in. Aside from my own personal failings, we just don't have the DPS to keep from getting overrun. That and the commander get damaged and running to his death. Appreciate the tips, never thought of kiting. I guess rooting is possible on some level too. I think we are closer to beating chapter house or zalikor than WK though. I still feel we are far off from beating those. darkhand fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Feb 12, 2014 |

Have one tank pick the rest up, cycling through deflections on waves 3/4/5. Depending on what dps classes you have, evenly split burns between waves 3/4/5. It's ok to let the commander tank for short periods of time. He's not a great tank but he can hold a few mobs for 15-20 seconds or so. Just have all the healers add him to the extended target window and heal him if he starts to dip low.

I went ahead and reset, but I'm only 81, and haven't played in a year, heh. If I decide to start playing again maybe I can beg a PL / assistance to 85. I've tried boxing multiple times in a few games, and I just hate it. I'd rather not play. EQ is a group game, it sucks solo . I guess that makes it pointless to ever play again really...

Boxing in EQ with the right setup is an absolute dream, you play one character but use hotkeys to control the rest via isboxer. There are some other tools that you can use that make things easier too. In other news, I've been wanting to plug Echoes of Elysium for a bit, but I know that there are two huge barriers to playing on the progression servers. We just got confirmation from Piestro though that they're going to give us the proper unlock timing with Seeds of Destruction, so in a few months we'll have mercs. The other barrier (have to be gold sub) I can't do anything about but I figured why not. EoE is literally the only guild on Vulak'Aerr doing progression (there's another guild, Kuk Clan, that does 'family' style stuff) and our population is nearly dead, but EoE is usually good about helping apps and we're willing to take anyone who is competent and is a Cleric, Shaman, Druid, SK, or Paladin. We have a lot of bots on raids at the moment, which get dumped for any mains that want in, and loot is always mains > bots so if you show you're dedicated, have good play time, and aren't terrible, you'll get geared up. We raid Monday through Thursday, 5 PST to about 9 PST, and currently we've got all of SoF cleared and consistently defeat every fight in Crystallos and Mansion with minimal retrys except for Vyskudra, who occasionally gives us issues, and the random bugs in Mansion. If you're interested, send Vulak.Karael a tell, and I can point you to our O crew. In terms of doing gearing and stuff, I absolutely love doing Epic stuff for people and can six box Anguish for orbs, and do a bunch of other older raids for gearing up. A lot of guild members have Elaborate and Intricate defiant rotting in banks, so we can definitely get you some hookups. Just keep in mind, this is progression so we don't have a lot of nice quality of life stuff like extended target window, buy-from-anywhere, or click from bags.

How late do Test patches drop? I figured it would have happened by now, but Test is still up and running without the patch.RCarr posted:I would loving love to be able to box well but I'm too computer illiterate to set up ISBoxer well It does have a bit of a learning curve, and a big part of it is just knowing what the "good" things to be able to do are. If you hit my post history in this thread, I think I listed a bunch of commands that are useful to set up. E.g. a macro to follow the leader, a key to hold down to make your follower back up to break follow, one to force them all to move forward for positioning, etc. etc. I'm sure several people would be happy to answer questions in this thread.

I did moderately well just using WinEQ2 to 4 box. My team was two rogues, a shaman, and a warrior. It took a little time to get everything working smoothly, and I was horrible in moments of intense stress but it worked well enough. WinEQ2 lets you bind hotkeys to session windows, you can instantly switch to them from whatever it is you're doing on your computer. I had my two rogues bound to Alt + F1 and Alt + F2, my shaman was Alt + F3 and my warrior was Alt + ~. The rogues were setup with macros to backstab 4 times in a row, so it was just a matter of positioning, pushing 2, and then taking care of the other characters. The shaman had a macro to slow, send the pet in, and cast his dots as well as a heal macro for those pulls that the cleric merc couldn't handle. While those guys were doing their automated thing, I focused on aggro generation with the warrior. Definitely didn't work as well as ISBoxer, but if you don't want to pay the fee, it's a decent free option for just loving around.

I'm quoting you because you were last, but this is pretty much for everyone who responded - the Test guild can't do any of the things you suggested. How we ever managed to win any raid at all still amazes me, but there are no Enchanters/non-boxed Bards to mez, 1-2 max clerics who aren't awful, no shamans, no druids, only 2-3 warriors who're good players depending on who logs in, and literally no knights of either class that aren't mouthbreathing idiots. The top-of-guild DPS is so bad a live server guild wouldn't even let them app and our worst lost on parses to me and another Shadowknight more fights than not, and our fights last 5-10 loving minutes. There is literally no hope for the Test raid scene at all until gear mudflates enough to just straight overpower another tier with sheer refusal to die by tanks while everyone else assfucks around for 20 minutes. It's cute watching Wiji still have hope in the thread though even though we were stuck on the exact same fights back in August 2013

Test is going down for the patch a little after 9:30pm EST (7 minutes from this post) Edit: The patch notes are up on the loader (can't copy paste) including the AA changes. Leadership AAs are now automatic, as well. Edit 2: Test is back up! Edit 3: Test auto-gold lets you use AA auto-grant (I think we were pretty sure this was the case). Also confirming I still have all the AA's that I banked. Logging doesn't trigger the AA grant, looks like only zoning/leveling does it, as per the tooltip.
