Bugen bagged Black Dire for me, some level 50 Gnome seemed to be planning to try and engage it first. Naw.

Yeah he started talking about it in say like "I can solo it" and "as soon as he's here" after Bugen killed advisor and spawned him. Agreed.

Gotta love MM trains, we had some really impressive ones courtesy of that gnome. I was playing it fast and loose today while bound in NK. Scariest moment was easily Black Dire hitting me for triple 200s down to 20%.

I want to give a shout out to the legendary Frankthebank, who had the super good idea of drowning himself so PKs couldn't take his plat if they killed him (he's a cleric, he's not going to die in PvP combat regardless, but we humored him).

Queue a beautiful little moment of us gathered around his corpse, waiting for him to grab his gear, and everyone realizing at once that he couldn't loot his corpse without picking up all his cash first.

Shine on you beautiful bastard

Well, now, uh, Lancelot, Galahad, and I wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the rabbit, taking the French by surprise; not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!

The simple solution would be to loot the plat, kill him again, and then have him loot the first corpse. But by this point we just wanted to make fun of him instead

I saw a shaman link 1.1k AC last night, which was impressive. My warrior has 1000 unbuffed, but I'm starting to hear anecdotes that AC>hp stacking now. Either way, I've got to work on some gear upgrades to hold my own on Velious.

Yeah, I'm asking because there was this huge slapfight about AC being broken during Velious beta. I did a ton of testing via boxing + guide account and found that it is not, in fact, broken. I made a few preliminary posts about it and got accused of making poo poo up so I stopped bothering to post further info. But I pretty conclusively proved (via shitloads of parsing) that you just need a lot of AC for it to matter against mobs that drastically outlevel you - Kunark attainable levels were not nearly enough. I had nearly 1300 on Bugen and 1250ish on my boxed Warrior account on beta and that was spitting out pretty good numbers against mobs like Master of the Guard compared to <1200. I haven't been active much since months before Velious released so I've not been keeping up on the latest prevailing tanking wisdom on the official forums, but I've been waiting to hear that someone with 1300+ AC figured out that it does actually do something.

:downs: I would like to add that not only am I an idiot, but everyone else assumed it would work as well. Also, thanks for the Ruby Crown and the Opal Bracelet, I will keep those equipped (for inspection purposes) until I find drastically better, then I will sell them and be 300p richer!

Real talk, I went from 34 to 50 from Friday to Monday (didn't play Sunday). Super excited to level super slow and never reach 60.

I did start a Druid that I want to level to 30 because I kinda ditched McKeone who has been SUPER busy and unable to play. I have learned that low level on a Druid suck rear end. If anyone wants to PL me to non-crap levels, I would be super grateful.

Sidenote: Do we know when Discord is coming?

The advisor is currently up, on the off chance that anyone is available to help me with it at this late hour.

Also, I ran into Jeah kind of randomly and got an Unknown Guild tag. One of the first welcoming messages I got over guildchat was "i like dicks." I knew you guys wouldn't let me down.

Discord sounds like an amusing idea, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be "won" by ultimate poopsockers who level their characters 24/7 by passing them between different players. But good luck to all of those who try to compete with them!

Hey Red Dudes,

My crew is about lvl 52 and I have a strong desire to take a shot at Naggy/Vox if they are up. Is anyone (Frank for example) around this levelrange and interested in an impromptu dragonslaying session? We have the Sham/Tank/Chanter trinity down and could use DPS/Clerics if people have a desire to jump in.

Just a thought, let me know.

Someone spawned the black dire today without intended to kill it, I guess. A 59 Necro in the zone was willing to help me kill it, but his first attempt ended poorly cause he couldn't root it and his pet couldn't tank it. But then someone else in the zone called in a 60 Cleric to help us. She was concerned about catching agro from CH and dying, so we came up with the silly idea of pulling the dire to the zoneline just in case things went poorly and the cleric had to zone.

So of course the black dire despawned as soon as we had everything set up to begin the operation.

Ah, Everquest.

On the Lower Guk front we had a lot of mishaps, pretty much all caused by trying to IVU to Assup or multi-wizard pulls vs feign death. I've learned my lesson, when I am trying to guide newer players down there we are definitely going to just clear the entire way. Exp is fine doing that at 40. Klaymen is an MVP for his evac when we were down to 8% health. Thanks to everyone who showed up, sorry it wasn't smoother and I hope we can try again tomorrow. Personally I had a lot of fun since I don't mind dying to lguk shenanigans, only thing I worry about is other goons having a poo poo time since I formed the group.

Not at the moment, but only because they won't let us form a guild without like 10 players on simultaneously.

We could get a Red roll-call, it's been a while. I play with a pretty regular group of 4 and sometimes Frankthebank tags along, so we're halfway to a guild already! We are almost to the point where we need to get epics and poo poo so it's possible we will join a guild if we can't get enough people to do it organically.
