We're not hardcore at all, hell, we're not even on current content, we just do it for funsies. But the guild is one of the biggest guilds in the game. I have invite privledges so I could add you if you setup on luclin. Other than luclin, I hear Xegony is doing well, but I'm not familiar with xeg. Or you could play on FV if you want to go for the tradable "no drop" items.

I've gotten fed up with the WoW private server scene for now and the upcoming EQ progression server looks interesting, I played EQ from 2000 through the WoW launch and then went back and played the first progressive server whose name escapes me atm. Also spent a shitload of time on the Shards of Dalaya private EQ server over the years. Any other goons intend on giving this Agnarr server a go?

Anybody know why my launchpad exe will randomly not connect to the eq server signin? I click the program (Windows 10) and the connect splash shows up but then spins into a "can't connect "screen and shows a link to the dbg help page. I have a very bad connection (satellite internet) but it just started doing this a couple of months ago when I reinstalled for the phinny launch.

Usually as a Necro you fear kite or agro kite and use your pet as a mobile DoT. They're probably fine now up to a point but historically speaking Necro pets aren't particularly durable.

The only pets that can really tank are Magician pets. Necros kite and use the pet as a dot of sorts. Shamans can solo, but it's slow and painful up front tanking. I'd choose a Magician, with a Cleric merc for buffs and rez.

magician probably the most faceroll. Necro and enchanter soloing is pretty intense, but stylish as gently caress. Magician NEEDs cleric merc because you're not going to waste slots and spellgem cooldown healing your pet all day. so you lose a little bit of xp with merc out, but you probably make up for it by stomping a lot of mobs anywhere you go. Necro pet only really "tanking" when you burn names, and even then you're blowing cooldowns on him, and using mass swarm pets to spread hits around. There's a lot of clever things you have to do on necro and enchanter if you like that sort of thing. darkhand fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Mar 26, 2017 |

After a couple days of thrashing through Mage, Shaman, Necro, SK, Bard, and Enchanter, and various iterations of boxes for 2-3 of those, I think I'm just going to settle on single box Enchanter. Even babby two-boxing gives me a headache, but I'm thinking I'll do Enchanter/Mage if I start running into XP walls like the leveling guide I'm reading warns I will lest I box. It also recommends running some stupid lovely instance mission for two weeks that's equivalent in quality of release EQ2 (Gribble something?) and even though I hated it the xp was insanely good and apparently I can cash out the funbux I earn at the end to get new gear? I'm on Xenogy btw, Enchanter is Chronomancer, Mage is Conflagrate. Say hi!

Gribble instances are the braindead mode of leveling in EQ. It is very good xp, but it's boring and repetitive. Even moreso than usual. Unless you simply want to level as fast a possible, do yourself a favor and take a different path.

Goto CoTF neriak instances, you can charm a lot of the dark elves and take a poo poo on everything. Gribble only gives you humanoids sometimes to do it. You can also swap mag for wiz, since you can braindead wiz nuke rotation with multibinds, i think you can do this with mag too, but it's not as good(??) if you're alround lvl 90 you can goto the VoA zones with a shitload of alarans. I can't rmember the game very well, but i think the sepulcher or near the big wall in city of bronze? You just root a bunch of mobs in a pack together, send in a charmed alaran, make him sit a bunch while the rooted stuff attacks him til he's low hp, then drop charm and nuke him. You can kill stuff in seconds, it's kinda dangerous if root breaks, but seems like a cool way to xp. darkhand fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Mar 28, 2017 |

I use Pilsner's UI http://www.eqinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=6417 with a couple modifications. I wanted a larger cast bar meter and larger spell gems with the full name in the gem instead of just on mouseover so I could more easy identify a spell at a glance. This helps with 3 boxing because trying to learn spells for 3 classes takes some time. Eqinterface.com had standalone mods that for what I was looking for and integrated with zlizui perfectly.

What's the deal with Test Server right now? Still double xp over live? And I gather they don't grant the latest expansion, only the second-to-last expansion automatically? Does it give free accounts the auto-grant that subscribed accounts get on live?

For you TLP experts (expecting Hoohah, heh): -How much raid progression is there in GoD before you're to the top tier raid? Is it like PoP where there's many tiers to go through, then mainly you get upgrades for the last thing? Or does it work a bit differently? It took us several weeks (5 or 6) before we downed Quarm, because we're casual scum. We lost one week to loving up flag order, then we tried to push for Quarm on an offnight and didn't have the numbers to get past Tallon Zek (next week was fine). Just with only 8 weeks, if it takes us that long in GoD, we'll only get to see raids a couple of times. Hoping the raid progression is a lot quicker. -Just me or is 12 weeks really quick for OoW? What's raid progression like? Beyond whatever raid progression there is - 5 levels, 350 AAs, and Epic 1.5s + 2.0s. Feels like a ton to do, lol.

Raid progression in GoD is pretty similar to PoP, but some of it is skippable by just having select people doing some of it. IE there is group trial poo poo needed to get key poo poo to unlock some of the advancement steps that only one group has to do. My only OoW progression experience was on Quarm .. and well that poo poo was super fast. Handful of open world mobs and each person has to collect like 10 rings then there are group/raid trials then final zone. (Anguish).

Much text follows!xZAOx posted:-How much raid progression is there in GoD before you're to the top tier raid? Is it like PoP where there's many tiers to go through, then mainly you get upgrades for the last thing? Or does it work a bit differently? 1. Ferubi, Riwwi, Kod'Taz, and Yxtta. All of these are optional except for one person to do the Kod'Taz progression, and I'm still positive you don't need the two raid fights in there to make your Icon of the Altar. I'll find out more soon. These are all about as hard as Plane of Time. 2. Ikkinz 1-4 and Uqua. Everyone needs Ikkinz 4 and Uqua's quest items for Txevu to open up Qvic and Inktu'ta. These have items at Quarm loot level and greater. These are a step up from Plane of Time and take much more coordination on your raid force to do the right things at the right times with the right people, or just avoiding dying to hard hitting mobs. 3. Qvic and Inktu'ta. Finishing Inktu'ta gets you the third piece (along with Ikk 4 and Uqua) to enter Txevu. Qvic is a breather zone to gear up in (this is where the class armor starts off of easy goat fights) while Inktu'ta has 4 events that you start to get the feel for what future raiding in EQ is like (gimmicks, mechanics, very few just straight up DPS fights). These are only slightly more difficult than Ikk and Uqua. 3.5 Txevu. The final boss of Txevu, Zun'muram Tkarish Zyk, drops an item (Signet of Command) that allows you to request Tacvi, the final zone, without going through Txevu. This is "3.5" because there are like 7 raid events (The anueks, the ikaavs, the runt, and high priest) are like Inktu'ta loot, but Zun'muram drops Tacvi level loot. If they instance this, eventually you won't bother with the rest of the mobs and just go for Zun for good loot and BiC pieces. Txevu is kinda brutal, lots of hard hitting, fast moving trash and most of the fights in here are straight up DPS races against hard hitting mobs, except for the keying chain (Runt -> High Priest -> Zun) which are more gimmicky (eg: Zun is immune to melee damage and has infinite resists, the runt you have to pick one person to fight him, etc). 4. Tacvi. 8 fights with a mini-boss-like Mastruq in between each. Tacvi in-era is difficult, like hitting Plane of Time with nothing but Vex Thal gear, and that doesn't include the final boss Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax. He's potentially more difficult than most OoW fights other than Overlord Mata Muram. Once everything is on farm, I expect EoE will consistently do at least Qvic, Inktu'ta, Txevu, and Tacvi (assuming Qvic and Txevu get instances). Uqua has a step-up sword for warriors and Ikkinz has some neat click items, so if we have time we'll hit those too, but I'd almost consider split raiding time instead. If you really don't care about your members getting BiC augs done (you should though, they last almost forever and are stellar items in-era), you could just do Zun'Muram and Tacvi for the best loot. quote:-Just me or is 12 weeks really quick for OoW? What's raid progression like? So Omens doesn't actually have a lot more than what you mentioned. The only thing you left out is the group version of the muramite proving ground trials for the resist cap AAs. Progression for raiding in Omens is do the six raid trials in proving grounds, then raid anguish. There's a bunch of lower level raids sprinkled all over like Zun'Muram Votal, The bridgekeeper, and the King and Queen in Riftseeker, but none of them are required. Every epic has mini raids required, and some you need as many doofuses as you can throw at it (see the final Epic 2.0 fight for clerics). Some guilds afaik waited till Omens to go back and do some of the later GoD stuff as well, and Tacvi remains relevant loot because of the changes over the years. The things to do (in the order I'd work on them) for Omens are: 1. Get your signets for Anguish access done (Anguish requires the six trials plus the signets, so both raid and group content) 2. Get level 70 3. Work on your 1.5 and 2.0 as you can until you need raid help 4. Get spells Epics have wild variation in time and effort required to get them. I'm expecting to set aside a day or two a week at the start of Omens just to knock out people's epic 1.5 / 2.0 fights. The AAs may feel like a lot but I don't think they will be. Most of them are tradeskill stuff you can sit on till later, plus you can bank 130 AAs to take a big bite out of them ahead of time. Also, DoN (the next expac after) only adds two more consistent raids (Yar'lir and Vishimtar) and neither of them take a long time. There's no new AAs in DoN except the storyline progression which you do by factioning and mini raids. You'll have plenty of time to get AAs before DoDH, as well as farm Anguish. DoN just makes it easier with instanced group content with mobs up to level 74ish and the factioning requirements (I'm not sure if anyone's ever sat down and figured out from apprehensive-to-warmly on how many it takes, but its probably around 70ish missions to get the necessary faction done).
