Tashan Dorrsett posted:the sad truth is, until you get an epic pet (still a lot of work, but soon to have a lot less roadblocks) you're a coth/modrod bitch. with faction in the right zones, magicians can do some crazy pulls too. for instance having an epiced factioned mage allows us to fight the chardok bosses at the zone-in, and do some sneaky things in kael. They actual let you dps with an epic pet or do you just send it in and cast more mod rods?

If Everquest PVP sucks, and PVP almost never happens on the Red server anyway, and the Blue server has a much larger population, what are the reason to play on Red rather than Blue?

NotWearingPants posted:If Everquest PVP sucks, and PVP almost never happens on the Red server anyway, and the Blue server has a much larger population, what are the reason to play on Red rather than Blue? when you hit level 60, the blue raiding scene is spending hours waiting for 1 npc to spawn, which you kill in about a minute, and you're waiting in line behind 100's of people for loot. a year or two later when you get all the cool loot, the only thing it's good for is standing in the EC tunnel and showing off to people who are AFK. red server is running around killing dragons with your bro's, because there's a lot less competition for targets and guilds don't have "rights" to them before they even spawn. Anyone can kill any mob and contest other guilds with PvP. There's always something fun to do with enough players on. more importantly, even if you choose not to partake or care about pvp, just having it on the server forces people to form friendships/rivalries/etc that actually mean something. i never felt that on blue99/ayonae ro/xegony. even on the lower end there are huge benefits, such as not having to wait for camps, usually having as many camps as your group can handle available in any zone, not having to wait in massive welfare-lines for items like holgresh elder beads/alliance necks, etc. 8th ring is usually booked out a week on blue, and half the time it isn't camped on red. exp's really quick over here, you can be 60 getting nToV gear in a month if you're active.

Blue has a much better community for most players (less toxic shitlords at all levels), a much more live-server-like population (600-1400 vs 50-200), more groups available in more zones, and the raid scene is much improved due to Velious - there's 8 or so guilds getting kills on a regular basis (vs 1 guild getting almost everything it wants with 1 other getting some scraps). Also, it doesn't have PVP which is a plus IMO, as EQ PVP is largely unfun unless you've got the resources to group/gear up and gank/harrass/grief other players for your own enjoyment. I've played on both and prefer blue long term, but red can definitely fun in shorter doses.

Would suck to get invested in one server and then realize you like the other better. Worst case scenario, you're allowed to 2box between red and blue, so it gives you something to do whenever you need to auction in EC if you decide you like blue the best

The biggest challenge is that starting off on Red means you're up against people who have years of a head start on you. It's insurmountable for a long time, so you just have to get used to running, hiding and surviving.

another 13 pieces of loot from 3 hours of NTOV tonight, including a soon-to-be server first (p99 first?) bard skyshrine BP. good thing a bunch of you guys who applied play druids, we're running out of people to give leather gear to! all these drops means there will be a lot of gem farming going on in the near future, which is a great opportunity for people on the 50-60 stretch to get EXP!

If I didnt have buddies who played on blue i'd probably give red a more serious try. The other reason I played more on blue is p1999 has been a nostalgia trip and blue seems more in line with the classic experience for me than red (despite non-classic game play elements, such as chardok proxies and swarm kiting). I must say though, I am tempted to give red a more serious shot and have been wanting to recreate my magician.

I started on Red in 2014 and took about 6 months off (left before Velious came out) and just came back 3ish days ago. I lost interest originally because I was tired of getting ganked constantly as an unguilded 55+, and there was NOTHING to look forward to if you didn't want to join Holo/Empire and get uncontested pixels that you could then use to grief the other 30% of the server that's not in your guild. I can't see that anything has changed. The primary issue with this server is that it's dominated by a bunch of man-children who have failed miserably at life so they dump their entire existence into the box. I started EQ in 2001 - I was 16 years old. Keeping a high raid attendance was pretty easy. Getting a text at 3a to hop on for a kill wasn't a huge deal. Fast forward 15 years... I'm 30. I have a job, and I can't even begin to keep up with that schedule (nor do I have any desire to). But a lot of the folks on p1999 (And the people who dominate the scene, for sure) can and do. This means that you will never ever be able to compete from a gear advantage, which is exactly what you see now. Nevermind the massive difference in warm bodies. The result is that the #2 guild is left with HoT and maybe WToV scraps. And that's only if Empire decides to play nice on that particular night. I think we all like and fondly remember EQ because of the 'hardcore' aspects of it, but the reason that the modern MMO has evolved past this is because most of us have aged out of this lifestyle. p1999 is like a snapshot in time in that regard. I'll still poke around on red because I find it enjoyable if I can get a group and just be left alone, but I here's how I see things: 1. Don't bother coming for PVP. Aside from the fact that EQ PvP is just hilarious broken and dumb, at 50+ the guild you are most likely to run into also happens to have the best gear by far. If you're lucky, maybe you'll just run into a Friends group. There's no amount of grinding that is going to make you competitive against people with ST/NToV gear. Sorry. 2. Don't bother coming for PVE either. Right now, one guild dominates everything. The 2nd guild has to beg to do anything, and Empire could stop them at any time. Last night people sat around for an hour past raid time waiting for Empire to decide to stop killing them. 3. Most of us are probably light years beyond the average player on p1999 when it comes to maturity and just being an adult in general. The servers/occ/general server culture are dominated by the type of folks who maintain 100% raid attendance. This produces predictable results. It's beyond cringe-worthy. 4. DO come for the XP bonus. It rocks, and if you want to try a new class, or see some zones you've never seen before, this can be a compelling reason to give Red a shot. I definitely want goons to check it out, and I have and will continue to help PL anyone who comes over to give it a try, but let's be realistic. There is no raid competition, there is no real pvp competition, everyone is retarded, and the only way that TMO or anyone will get a chance at #1 is if/when Empire is finally tired of farming the same old poo poo week after week and moves on.

So it'd still basically look the same.

Anyone familiar with any of the blue guilds? I started playing my 55 mage again, and I've had a couple people try to recruit me, but I'm not sure what any of the guilds are like. I don't really want to get into poopsock raiding, and my schedule can be rather erratic at times. Don't really want to join a guild with the wrong expectations.

I moved house a month ago, and when we got broadband up and running I have found I have no more desire to log into red with my bard Toccata. It's a shame really, I love that bard but I just don't want to play anymore. May have something to do with being in a new house, lots of things to do. I may let my good friend have my account. He will be wondering where I have got too.

Rampage is the top guild by a huge margin, the only guild in sleepers and gets the vast majority of top tier kills. Forsaken, Asgard, Taken are basically the same guild right now combining forces to try and compete with Rampage. They get kills but have a history of raid suspensions and members being banned for trains and whatnot. These alliances never last long but it basically applies to all three guilds. Divinity is a fantastic guild. They go back a long time and are probably one of the least controversial guilds on the server. BDA/OMNI/Azure Guard are pretty casual but get lower tier boss kills. Those are most of the bigger guilds unless I forgot anyone. The only guilds that really poopsock anymore are Forsaken, Asgard, and Taken. They do it because it's the only way for them to compete with Rampage which basically forces Rampage to do it as well. There are a lot less things you can poopsock in velious but even so it wont last long. "FAT" members will burn out then stop showing up like what happened right after launch.

Rampage is poopsock tier and also gets the most nice things. Forsaken leans towards poopsock tier and gets the next most nice things (joint raids with a variety of other guilds to make this happen). BDA Asgard Taken Divinity are all more casual but still compete for most mobs. There are poopsockers in all these guilds but there's a lower concentration and you could conceivably get loot someday as a filthy casual. Azure Guard OMNI and Anonymous all get some kills too, but aren't nearly as competitive. These might be more your speed if you would prefer to have mostly casual guildmates, but you could also end up frustrated if you're hoping to have a shot at killing all the big cool Velious mobs.

If you add in WToV, Kael, ST, Growth, Dain, and all that good stuff... I can't imagine that they care about the pain in the rear end quests in HoT. That's not taking into consideration the fact that their entire guild is killing dragons all day, so no idea how they'd do turn ins. (gently caress Empire)

No, thank you for playing devil's advocate, the last thing I want to do is misrepresent <TMO> to you guys. I'm making these posts because based on my time as officer and unofficial stint as leader of <SLAMDUNKATRON> I feel like this guild is a good fit for a lot of the goons I used to play with in dunk. I waited 6+ months before pimping <TMO> out to goons, just to be sure. I don't get pixels or special favors or anything for recruiting people. Disclaimer: we harbor a few genuinely awful nerd personas, but the vast majority of the cringeworthy members are inactive at this point, and it's not like you'll find less aspergers in any other guild that isn't Slosh. We're the pickiest guild on the server when it comes to membership (sans small guilds like Slosh) but unlike slamdunkatron, we tolerate massive nerds if they have enough level 60 characters and help people and stuff. Really the only thing I dislike about this guild, but it's necessary to get anything done + worse everywhere else on the server. quote:Every time they've tried they get beat down (It's a zerg that was farming VP for years. To be expected), and this 'agreement' seems pretty much like Empire saying 'We won't kill you if you want Dozekar loot, because we catch so much poo poo for snuffing out any possible competition and the server is dying'. You're missing a lot of the picture. Hell, I am too, really the only people who's word should be taken are the people making these decisions (colgate, darkdeath) But from my perspective, back when <TMO> was getting crushed and barred from content by <Empire> there were several key differences. Back then <Empire> had a strong vested interest in crushing <TMO> before they got off the ground, due to forumquesting and broken promises made by Tiggles. In addition we ignored their warnings and harbored many players such as the <Friends> core which <Empire> warned us would change their stance towards us. Poor choices were made & that's probably why the people who made them are no longer with us. Members of the leadership who were actually capable of starting a guild from nothing + make good, smart decisions like Darkdeath gained more power/influence and the guild's improved vastly since. All of those people <Empire> doesn't like, Tiggles included, are gone and <Empire> has largely forgiven us, as we have seen the error of our ways (as a red player, I was also warning <TMO> leadership about these players from the beginning) In addition our playerbase was largely unorganized and in rags. Back then we could count on having members in our raids relaying our raid directives to <Empire> leadership, intentionally training/wiping us from within the guild, etc. There wasn't a single PvP fight with <Empire> where they didn't get to cherry pick their encounters and catch us off guard. A force of two or three organized groups can easily destroy a force of 50 who are engaging a raid NPC. In the time since, we've largely culled the thin-skinned, untrustworthy, and plain bad players from our guild. Many of the remaining core players have rerolled and we have greatly improved our class composition. We've acquired significantly better gear -- we're starting to gear alts with PoG/ToV gear while back then our players were lucky to have planar armor. With classic revamps in, and kunark revamps coming soon a lot of opportunities have arisen for us to acquire key PvP items that had been previously unavailable to us. We're the only other guild on the server who can send out a twitter post and get 30+ people to log on, and they know it. It's a no brainer that in an empty zone 70 of them would crush 30 of us in an instant, but it would only take a few small groups of us to bar them out of any content we wish (except sleeper's, no keys) if that was something we wanted to do. But as a whole none of us really give a poo poo about doing that and we don't have any interest in rocking the boat -- we have a pretty good thing going for ourselves. Keep in mind when I'm talking about these guilds, I mean to say I'm talking about their leadership -- the opinions and beliefs of both guilds' playerbases is much different. tl;dr <TMO> isn't the same guild it was a couple months ago.

As an enchanter my first thought was that I'd be able to charm the quest NPC for the hand in, as he is level 50 and you can charm mobs up to 51. Does anyone know if this can be done, or am I looking at a retarded faction grind if I want the sword? I'm only 47 myself so I'd enlist the aid of a higher level enchanter. Edit: Also, I petitioned Patoso, level 60 druid, for training and killing me because he thought I was trying to contest his camp and have yet to receive any reply. Are the guides/GMs very active on Blue? Meatgrinder fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Nov 6, 2015 |

Are the guides/GMs very active on Blue? There's been serious GM drama lately and I think a ton of people left or have stopped showing up. I get the feeling its just like one or two people right now trying to cover everybody and not having nearly enough time. They'll probably get around to you eventually but it might be awhile?

Had a pretty sweet time in Dragon Necropolis after today's ToV sesh. 7 Velious breastplate gem drops, 10+ Circlet of the Falinkan's and Vaniki spawned twice netting us a pair of Willsappersquote:There's a bajillion Skyshrine BPs of all stripe on blue and the only reason you might have the first one on Red is that Empire bards are too busy destroying their CoV faction on NToV mobs and getting sleeper's keys to be bothered with them. looked it up, and I wasn't wrong! we had the p99 first orange robes! and I think there's still some other ToV firsts left to beat the blue server to.

I watched a YouTube of someone who got into a CoM group, he was a shaman so he would buff, slow, and sit on his rear end staring at the same three walls for 2 hours. drat if I didn't watch the entire drat thing, I got nostalgia for EQ pretty bad, the question is what class to play, originally I played shaman, they were pretty popular and had SoW (The best spell in the game) but I definitely wanna mix it up for 99. my choices are as follows. Enchanter/Cleric both highly sought after they are both casters, Gate/Bind is so nice to have. I'm not a fan of their complete lack of solo ability, I don't care how good I am, but I at least wanna solo a few blues while I wait for a group. Druid, I was always jealous of druids when I played, snare kiting seems fun the a fore mentioned best spell in the game, and ports. Warrior, I would pick up only dependent on their popularity in groups, I picked up a tank in WoW and have always been a fan of that position, but the lack of any convince spells/abilities make them not my first choice. Paladin maybe.

Enchanters are one of the best solo classes once you get some levels and enough cha gear to charm reliably. Clerics can solo undead for XP but that's about it. Warrior is definitely a bad choice for a first class if you actually want to do any tanking as you won't hold aggro worth a drat without gear. SK/Pal are much better first character tank options. Druid is a great first class to get enough plat to finance gear on other classes, and they can make money using track and their outdoor solo skills to farm items or just port for donations. They solo quite well outdoors and even charm solo using animals in a select few areas at higher levels. However, they are not very desirable in groups, especially at higher levels. That's what I'd recommend to play first, you can always switch it up later.
