I tried to run away. To take the easy way out. I'll live through the suffering. When I die, I want to feel like I did my best.

Seriously don’t, it’s a hellhole full of casters and the exit is behind a mob which spams ice comet

That mob also has a 500 point AOE that almost iced my raid monk lol

Yeah I'm not sure why he wants to but I told him it's not gonna happen people are set in their ways anyway. I'd only ever done Lake on live and now done Kurns on 99.

if someone were to just load up unity and design a few rooms and just replayed them over and over how much money do you think they could get from kickstarter? asking for a friend

Have they shown off a full dungeon? Feel like someone in their free time coulda done so in a couple months.

I think he's trying to get people primed for it later on but I thought other zones were much more popular for that range.

Yeah nobody goes there for xp, it’s a loot dungeon. If yah’s a necro that’s where he gets his dagger, and a bunch of insanely good but nodrop monk armor drops there.

I'm spoiled by Lesser Evac for druids/wiz at 20ish in Luclin, I can't imagine suffering through a lot of Kunark dungeons without them. You poor souls :(

but also looking forward to Karnov's Kastle, City of Fog, and Oasis of Marn.

Sadly the testimonials coming out from current and former Blizzard (and other companies) employees/contractors about their horrid pay means this is an actual thing for a lot of devs :(

Well, the good news is if they were going for a game that looks like an Everquest remake from 2007 then I think they nailed it.

They have only 3 devs? Is that good for what they are showing? I have no idea?

looks a lot more like a wow clone than eq, that rogue has a full bar of abilities and high energy regen

the tank has a rage bar and the health bars move around at wow speed. an eq cleric wouldnt be able to keep up. I do see some crowd control going on but it looks much more like wow-style polymorph than eq chanter CROWD control where you lock down whole squads

still looks better than Crypt of Dalnir though, holy loving gently caress gently caress that piece of poo poo zone

Don't you realize that being nice just makes you get hurt?
Dalnir is an awesome zone you just can’t expect to survive it without a solid core group of cc and evac, or you pull to the exit portal on l2, also never, never, NEVER pull the overseer. Doesn’t matter if he’s a green, he’ll destroy your entire group in 12 seconds or less.

For someone who really wants to play "less casual" mmos, cohh not knowing to los the caster when he pulls at the beginning is kind of funny. But that may be a habit ingrained in me from way too much time playing wow.

After watching a while of that, if this game ever actually comes out in 20 years I miiiight try it, if I can still see a computer screen.

You can kill him with charms, just need a way to guarantee he doesn’t get in melee with anyone. Doable with a group for sure

Yeah after Brad died Pantheon saw the way the winds were blowing and pivoted towards WoW classic and ESO a while back. It's hardly even reminiscent of EQ at this point.

Vanguard also had the disciple, which was a monk / healer hybrid that kicked people healthy. It was what I maimed back in the day and it ruled. Their single target tank healing wasn't as great as a cleric or blood mage, but they had aoe passive healing in abundance and made great secondary healers in a group because you had great support and feign death.

IIRC the Warrior-Priest/Disciple of Khaine from WAR and Bear Shaman from Age of Conan were similar to that, too.

Man those games had some really neat class design

I'm already playing FFXIV, FFXI, and TSW because I'm a madman. I do have the WAR private server client installed though.


I kinda miss weird utility classes from old MMOs like EQ's Bard and Enchanter and how you could have dedicated Buff/Debuff classes in DAoC but I suppose including that kind of thing makes designing encounters and stuff more of a pain. I don't know, that's my assumption.
