I know i've already posted a couple times but yeah. If i was in a raid group, i'd absolutely push for Selos over Mangler / any other TLP at the moment. More rare spawns? Reduced instance lockouts? Less exp grinding? The raiding schedule for Selos is going to be absolutely intense for some guilds, badly so knowing they'll have four eras worth of targets to hit right away.

I will be surprised if they don't bump the 1 month unlock schedule before launching it. It's way to loving obvious that one month is too short

1 month basically means 3 months of PoP, doesn't it? Between that and 6 weeks of Luclin to start with faster exp I think it'll work out fine for a while.

Why even bother with 1 month unlocks at all on Selo? If they had opened all expansions at launch with everything else the same they might have had something.

Tai posted:For awhile.. They can always bump it up to 6-8 weeks after GoD unlocks if there's enough demand for it. God those exp rates sound so good, though. I remember having so much fun just messing around with other classes on Ragefire during an exp bonus event I ended up trying out dual boxing for the first time and leveling a druid to go with my mage in almost no time at all. I might actually give rangers a try since I won't have to suffer three eras of being a lovely melee with some spells. Did they ever nerf PoP-era Headshot? I remember that being absolutely silly during my time in Agnarr. Republicans fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Feb 13, 2019 |

Never thought I would consider playing a live server again.. I haven't played in about 7-8 years and i might not understand half of the things I read in the last few pages but I'll be damned if Selo's hasn't caught my eye. Having semi-fast travel with Luclin spires makes traveling not as daunting without diminishing the size of the world while the increased exp rate doesn't make the idea of playing seem like labor... gently caress I might have to resub for this but only if there are enough goons. I wouldn't last long without a core group of like minded idiots to gchat with.

I am gonna miss not progressing though classic/kunark/velious at least for even a little while, mostly for the various items that become unavailable later like the all/all dark elf illusion mask. If they can make stuff like that be available until PoP launches or something I think that would be great. So has someone figured out the relative exp rates on all the servers yet? Almost twice as fast as Ragefire sounds like faster than most live servers and maybe closer to FV? Republicans fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Feb 13, 2019 |

DE mask and some of the other stuff you can gamble for at the casino, and some other stuff a few expansions down the road from the noble vendor. It would be nice if they put them in though.

How could make a "hardcore" server not suck, BTW? I was thinking instead of slow exp you give it fast exp like Selos but as well as the increased exp penalty on death you reduce the amount of exp you can get back from a res.

Will be really interesting to see what guilds manage during the first month when its Luclin. Getting enough tanks geared enough to kill Emp Ssra will be a challenge. The rest of Sssra is zergable but I can see lots of 60s running around in banded for a while !

I keep thinking I'll start with some other class every time a new progression server opens but I almost always end up playing a monk. Magician was fun when their pets were ridiculously overpowered.

I think the cultural crafted plate is going to be huge for hardcore raiders here. The plate sets that are available in Luclin are extremely good, on par or better than Kael quested plate. Feed everything to one guild smith and crank out sets for every tank, then make a fortune selling it to other guilds who are behind the curve

I think Selos lockout time will just result in more "back in the day feel" where there was really only 1-2 guild pushing cutting edge content and the vast majority were doing 1-3 expac old stuff. Also having the option to skip from velious raids to PoP raids and not have to do VT slogfest for "progression".

Yea it’s within 24 hours. People are insane and have no life. They get a group of 6 or more people who sit down and play nonstop and poop in socks, etc.

I'd guess the goal is to hit the point where they can just barely survive AE in the deep or velks and then lock down every pick of it to power level the poo poo out of a whole guild/people who are paying you for PLing. It will go insanely fast with AEing and 50% xp potions, and the anniversary xp bonus they probably will have

I want to say 50-59 kunark spells are researchable during that era. The 60 spells are restricted by a drop that only is available in Luclin. During Luclin my guild was able to craft several of the wizard nuke from Emp.

I guess on the Selos server Magician epics will be really rare - with classic being skipped pretty much no-one will bother doing sky. I can't see many guilds wanting to spend the time keying all the way up the 7th island. I know a single group of luclin era players could kill the mobs that drop the crown of elemental mastery so it certainly can be farmed, but its debatable whether a single boxed group could key themselves.
