I hate that people lost their jobs, but I have to admit that if that company and IP folds (it wont because you can't kill a cockroach) all the panic that will engulf the krono whales will be delicious.

I would love to see the IP sold to a real company that can do a real rpg - MMO or otherwise - based on the EQ franchise.

That would be incredible. I would give the benefit of the doubt to literally anything with the EQ name.

Eh, on Phinny we all ground it out for like a weekend then we were good. After that it was just some random pickups here and there for those lagging behind. And our guild was casual. Granted, that was before pick changes, so 1 person could hold open a pick.

I got into PoStorms pretty much 15 minutes after PoP went live. All nameds were up, we got 2 and had 1 stolen. Then yesterday I spent 5 hours at the North camp to only see two spawns during that time, 1 of which was stolen by a Zurdula raid that picked over immediately after spawning. Still 0/2 on medallions. There were probably 3-4 picks open most of the night. I bet this is going to be a lot of fun. My guild is doing Agnarr next Sunday so lets see if I get left behind!

I remember when we did it, we had a google spreadsheet that we tracked poo poo with. So we knew where to be. Every 3 hours would be why you only saw 2 spawns. Once you know the timer, hanging around is pointless.

I think everyone on Agnarr will have more than enough time to get those medallions.

Most of the current FE members dont train, they just batphone and you dps race 2-3x your numbers. Which is more fine to me than being trained and having to CR.

Lol. If EQ3 is actually a thing that they're trying, then they're straight dumb as gently caress and deserve to fail as a company. They've already taken multiple swings at an EQ3 and missed every time. No more money should be thrown down that rabbit hole. EQ revenue should be spent on more EQ expansions until we're all old and dead. I don't think that's real but it's a good lol.

Agree. The end really threw it. That's not the kind of stuff you develop if you plan to sunset something. It's a neat idea though and I'm sure the EQ1 version of that would be popular. Then again, Daybreak. I'd believe they would try a crackpot battle royale MMO just because. I do not know why I'd rather throw money at an EverQuest 3 over Pantheon knowing FULL WELL it's the same blend of poo poo milkshake but I would choose that in a heartbeat if there was a serious effort to put in modern conveniences we take for granted nowadays wrapped up in EverQuest flavor and packaging. This of course won't happen so long as the IP is held where it is and the 18 year old boy in me can dream. Still having a good time on Corinav. Our group is only 37. Been chipping away at it. All of our dudes got our DE masks and had 5 TBBs drop as a bonus while camping all that stuff. We even pretty much finished all our class armor quests just because, even though most of it is garbage.

Oh poo poo, what time do you usually play, and are you a full 6? I started a Monk, got to 36, and then stopped. I'd love to play again and get to level cap before Kunark if you've got room for one. Butttttttttt please don't make me pull, Monk pulling is actually horrible in all these zones where the casters just root you and kill you.

Monks are the classic pullers, deal with it and use feign death after the spell hits you. Los casters, take the hit, fd. Reroll if pulling is offensive on the only vanilla class capable of pulling risk free. Use throwing stone on yourself to break root.

Mostly it's just that I hate having to be one of the only two people in the group remotely paying attention 99% of the time and deeply wish I had just rolled something braindead so I could watch Netflix while I trudged through the incredibly boring and slow grind.

As a Monk, I don't agree we should pull. Split yes but not pull. We pump out so much damage, why would you take it away from the group. Any gently caress wit can pull but on the flip side you also can be a boss and have mob(s) arriving in camp as the previous pull dies.

This will break your ability to view some websites until Gina is fixed or the 10th arrives, then you can revert back to the proper date. 2. Create a .ps1 file with the following code, changing the first line to the path to your log file, right click the file and run as PowerShell and set gina to watch the new file it creates and updates: code:

I was a monk who pulls (and now I'm a bard who pulls). But no, the monk was not designed for pulling, because pulling and camps were both emergent gameplay that were never designed. The real reason people complain about pulling? Because the person pulling is 500x more active and doing more work than anyone else. It's an extreme imbalance. If you need to piss or something, the entire exp train stops. And given that a good EQ camp is hours and hours long, you'll obviously need a break. Everyone also complains at you if you go 5 seconds with a mob in camp. On the plus side, pulling is awesome! It's a lot more fun than standing around. You get to really learn dungeons and explore. But *any* class can pull, especially in the current balance of the game. We never needed to split poo poo on Phinny, and still don't (I can't speak for Live). Splitting is really slow. Easier to just bring it in to camp, and root / mez / charm as needed. Anyone can tag or body pull a mob into camp. But every other class whines hard if asked to share to load sometimes. As fun as pulling is, you still want a break after hours of it. But the REAL problem? You shouldn't be pulling. You should be ROAMING. Especially with TTK times on TLPs at least. There are no camps in EQ. The whole group should be traveling around absolutely owning a big portion of the zone. The only time you should pull is if there's a high density area right around a corner or something, or if the group as a whole needs an AFK break. Everyone will be more engaged, it's much more fun, you'll get much more exp.

I get that pulling is a ton of work compared to every other job, but you sign up for that when you roll a pulling class. That's just the way it is. Honestly I prefer being overworked, if the alternative is to be bored out of my mind doing nothing but sitting and standing and clicking a nuke once every 30 seconds.

Having any member out of the group 90% the time is bad for the group to some degree. He and I switch off depending on whats happening. After he got charm, we always try to keep 3 in camp so he can bounce charm and mez around. I can keep the SK mana decent with shaman pots unless I go ham and he's in camp long enough for mana song to keep the druid/cleric/shaman comfortable. It's crazy how much better the game gets once your toolkit starts filling up. Just getting more mana on my SK to allow me to throw the dots down feels good. He pulls lower guk because if he gets rooted on a pull he just mezzes and waits it out. Our pace has been slow because none of us are going to krono for gear so we camp what we can and save our money to buy premium items when we see them. We by no means play at a breakneck pace but we don't sit and wait for mobs either. One of us is always out grabbing more. Once we outlevel the exe/cav/safehall area down in guk we'll probably just do Seafuries till our hands bleed to grab our boots and hope for good gem drops till we can start raiding. Vanilla EQ is boring but I always felt the levels offered more reward as you go.

Go to eqresource.com and get the newest GamParse, its fine. The problem is dates used to be in format 0X <month> <year> for days 1-9 in the month. They're now _X <month> <year> (space then number). This breaks Gina's regex badly. The powershell solution to fix it works great at the expense of the log being duplicated, thus eating up twice the space. Gima, the developer on Gina and the only one who has the code base, doesn't give two shits about EQ or Gina but supposedly knows that its broken. Whether he'll fix it, who knows.

TL;DR - PoEb DZ is broken. So open world is the only way to get to Time. Truedicktastin is sucking a big karmic dick for being absolute fuckbags the entire life of the server - FE is preventing them from completing the council fight. FE is also doing a solid by letting every other guild complete it (so far Zurdula has, next is Addictions I think). It's only made sweeter because Truc has people in PoE begging for a raid invite. PoP is cool, sorting flags is aids. I'm glad to be in EPs where loot actually is good. What's really awesome is that I actually made really good friends with Knights of Vallon Zek and some more of Mess during the Storms poopsocks. No hard feelings, win or lose. One bard in Mess, upon me spamming trades with him to prevent dirges, said "holy poo poo, opening trades and BDAing me? Thats some everquest black ops poo poo. I like it" which was a contrast from an Endorphin wizard going all nerd ragey on me. KoVZ gave us a 4 medallions yesterday. They are good people.
