Playing on Mangler, name is Kerberos - level 9 DE Necro. Got a great group in Befallen tonight and went from level 5 to a few bubs from 10 within an hour, it was a lot of fun. Do we have a guild, and if so, who should I hit up for an invite? Played P99 on an off over the last 7-8 years but never made it past 45 or so, last time i seriously played before that was on the EQMac AlKabor server. Not a whole lot going on for me right now so I can spare a few hours a night to play!

What's the cheapest/easiest way to dual box on true box servers like Mangler these days? I thought about getting a cheap rear end 11.6" laptop off Amazon for $150 but the reviews say the versions of Windows 10 S on those can't be unlocked to regular Windows without paying extra or something.

In my city there are a couple people who refurbish older model laptops and sell them for $100-200 on Craigslist. I picked up a couple of those and just run boxes off of them using HotKeyNet to broadcast keystrokes to the laptops corresponding to assist/follow/cast macros on the boxes.

I levelled up a monk to 50 on Mangler but am finding that I really can't farm anything solo and would like to have a shammy or druid box to tag along. Problem is not having a second laptop to use. Gonna look into this.

Can also find some deals on Slickdeals.net or r/Buildapcsales.

gepgepgep posted:Shaman. You'll get a lot less utility from the druid. Stat buffs, haste, slow, and avatar (eventually) make your monk a lot more of a powerhouse. If you can snag Torpor in a few months that's also a huge plus. I was considering druid for the ports, I realize SHM is the more powerful box and will probably end up going that route.

Depending on how you play, you can easily purchase a druid pickup usually through Kunark by offering 1-200p. Depending on where and what you're famring, that's usually chump change at high levels. Come Luclin, you can bind in Nexus and get TLs easy to bind and from that hub. Ports are a convenience, but not necessary and probably not worth the much less useful fighting utility. gepgepgep fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Apr 9, 2019 |

Problem is not having a second laptop to use. Gonna look into this. People have been saying there is a relatively easy way to bypass their VM detection, allowing you to play multiple clients on the same PC. I haven't played around with it, but know of others doing so. The site that pulls up off a quick google search for this sells hacks / botting software, so I'm not going to link it directly, but this is the change that apparently bypasses detection once you have a VM setup.. 4. Go to this file path: Documents > Virtual Machines > Name of your new virtual machine > VMware virtual machine configuration file. Open the file in notepad. 5. Insert this line of code monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true" e: of course, while this may be easier in the short run, it does carry the unknown risk of playing with a configuration they say is not allowed / bannable. YMMV on interest to blur the lines between rules and whatever it's a 20 year old nostalgia trip. If you aren't doing anything destructive or causing them a hassle to fix, you probably won't be banned. onesixtwo fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Apr 9, 2019 |

We have a pretty long time (December i think?) until Luclin so its not like I wouldn't get tons of use out of Druid ports and succors across zones. As for fighting utility, Druids also have the benefit of being able to Charm Animals which can add tons of dps (or tanking ability) in a lot of zones. I know Shammy/Monk is probably more powerful on average but I don't think Dru/Mnk is as far behind as people make it out to be.

It's a poor box combo. Druids are just a piss poor class for a long time. You'll solo charm in Plane of Storms and feel great then join a group in fire and go meh ...

Having asked this identical question about a year ago, I feel obligated to say shaman monk was just so good. I’d recommend it. A box Druid is good for porting and PLing. Also some camp bouncing. They aren’t powerful duos, and you don’t really gain anything unique with them. Every Druid spell you would want to use with you monk in a combat situation, the shaman has a better version of excluding thorns of course. Haste & slow and shaman buffs > Druid’s skin and thorns. Druid dots are good, but the shaman’s poison dot line is insanely powerful. The shaman also has their own portable mana battery between chloro & canni dancing, Druid mems a lot.

Turns out my mom had a spare laptop that does the job well enough once I reformatted it. Went with a bard because they're always nice to have and it gave me an excuse to farm up a set of lambent one afternoon. Currently have my monk boxed just following me and killing poo poo after my bard gets it below 50%. Once he's 20 I can pair him with my warrior and level them both.

First time using a pet class in the entirety of playing EQ, could use some advice on random poo poo that I don't know about them like what items to give them. Afaik they'll always equip the item with the highest AC, right? So if I gave them a chestplate that had 60 AC and zero HP, they would use that over a chest with 59AC and 5,000hp? Are they able to equip everything a PC can, like jewelry, etc? Any other random pet tips our dead gay game has would be appreciated.

Druid is a strong box for a beastlord and that’s about it. Very strong combo though.

How is a druid a strong box combo? I don't see what it offers to a bstlord with it's poo poo DPS and poo poo heals.

Yesterday while leveling my Druid box (with a necro it’s okay,) and had a laugh that soon as he is 46, I’ll be able to catch rots from our guild raids because we have like, a Druid or two per raid so far. Turns out we have zero Druid mains! They’re all port boxes! Poor Druids.

Come get a mage DS and some easy levels.

Yesterday there was a tiny race for North Blob but most of Faceless couldn't figure out how to get to it and gave up and left.

The First Creation dead, not too much terribly later than OGC (2 weeks maybe?). Not practicing/refreshing memories on Test is starting to become painful, but I really dislike the idea of having everyone go to test to learn stuff. I was yelled at for holding out for the First Creation's head, but either everything I went in on was armor which warriors aren't getting because we got T6/T7 automatically, or the stuff I really wanted didn't drop. Oh well, shawl for me.

I’m on Mangler with a completely unassociated name from previous TLPs and I’ve been seeing people with OGC character and alt names left and right. It feels from Mangler’s side like a lot of people jumped over, but I can’t tell if that’s permanent or they’re just dipping their toes in or getting in on the early server kronofest.

Seems relatively fine, although I think OGC just absorbed another guild (don't remember which). OGC and EoE are done with Convorteum, and Resolute just broke in tonight.
