last I checked, I think some of the spell shuffling QOL from Velious(?) will be available at launch. for my side, I'm trying to set up a static 4 man leveling group with some friends with no melees since they're gonna be so awful. haven't quite figured out what yet, maybe SHM/NEC/MAG/WIZ ? dunno cmdrk fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Sep 23, 2023 |

cmdrk posted:last I checked, I think some of the spell shuffling QOL from Velious(?) will be available at launch. Druid over wiz if you want ports, snare, enc over wiz for damage, imo. Wiz is just kind of a bad class outside raid targets imo. Actually, I'd probably go druid/enc/shm/nec and go for charm friendly areas, though that might not be as viable on p99 as live/tlp.

DisgracelandUSA posted:Druid over wiz if you want ports, snare, enc over wiz for damage, imo. yeah, that's very true. we want to go charm-free, sword-and-board free. just because we've done it to death. i know WIZ is bad but someone found the idea of bein semi-afk and blowing the mana tank between bowls appealing  edit: in any case, druid might be nice just to PL something later once we have cash. cmdrk fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Sep 23, 2023 |

cmdrk posted:would you use the bard in melee or just dance in the back while the pets do their thing? In that group configuration the bard provides travel speed, melee dps and tanking early on, pulling, CC and charm dps a little later on, mob debuffing / fear / aoe throughout and efficient downtime reduction from mid 30s onwards. There's really no "or" here, everyone in the group has some cc, travel/pull, manaregen, single target and aoe dps etc. The bard is key to changing it up to whatever the situation requires.

Active bard players can do everything and the good ones can determine what the best thing to do is based on camp/group/needs/etc. Shaman and druid are kind of like this as well, necto too but less so.

So I've been making CONTENT about this dead game for old people and it's been pretty fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6SK9u_ER7o I also just got my hands on a white scale and am working on the bard epic. My bard is still in UNKNOWN GUILD from years and years ago.

That's a planes of power server right? Is it going a progression thing like p99 Green did or is it launching into pop? I've actually never played past Velious... Does that era still feel suitably harsh/classic Everquest? edit: yeah i need to get in on this. holy poo poo Sankis fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Oct 1, 2023 |

I never played post Velious for the longest time until I started playing on Agnarr (PoP locked live server) with some friends. PoP and Luclin are cool and fun. Lots of interesting zones and raids. Tons of new gear, quests, etc. And its not so radically different than the previous stuff other than having a travel hub and the bazaar.

It's based on the TAKP EQMac code, but they will be doing time locked progression, 6mo per expansion, starting at vanilla classic and ending with PoP. https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=422162 I wasn't a fan of Luclin and quit during that expansion originally, partially because I didn't like the power creep and requirement to keep grinding after 60 that came with AAs. But I know lots of people love them and I bet I would be a fan now if I had time to play. aparmenideanmonad fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Oct 2, 2023 |

I'm hoping to get in as either a WIZ or a MAG whenever the server stops being locked for being too popular. Had a MAG on TAKP proper and had a great time with it.

MAG should be very good in this era. WIZ do have the out-of-era (PoP) innate crits at launch. if you can get jboots for quadding you’ll be in good shape.

I made a Erudite Paladin on Quarm because I've never played a non-evil Erudite and I hate myself. Why is nobody looting anything?! It's a brand new server  Also people are selling bone chips to vendors and I went from level 2 to 4 and made 4 plat in two minutes on turn-ins.

I made a slew of new chars on Quarm, but started playing as a Ranger (Imladris) as I've never played one before. We've got a Quarm channel on on the Goon Emulated EQ Discord if anyone wants to get together: https://discord.gg/4yycvzh

What are the big differences between P99 and Quarm? Aside from the obvious expansion stuff.

Sankis posted:What are the big differences between P99 and Quarm? Aside from the obvious expansion stuff. Quarm is built off the TAKP code base which was harvested from a the Al'Kabor Macintosh server that Sony left at PoP for like a decade for whatever reason. So instead of being a newer EQ client trying to emulate old EQ, it is much more just "old EQ". As far as more tangible things, per their Discord. quote:MGBs at level 1, and other 'TAKP-like' features are enabled selectively. For example, Monk AC is in its 'pre-nerf' state. So for a list of more codified things I'd reference: https://wiki.takp.info/index.php/Server_Comparison#TAKP_Server_Source_vs_EQ_Emu And of course the big thing is going up to PoP. quote:Time-Locked Progression Server - 9 Months of Classic, 9 Months of Kunark, 9 Months of Velious, 9 Months of Luclin, Planes of Power final expansion.

Always thought it was hosed up they didn't make the gods look like they did in the instruction manual in the later expansions. Bertoxxulous looks so much cooler there.

Sankis posted:What are the big differences between P99 and Quarm? Aside from the obvious expansion stuff. P99 has roughly a decade + of support (if you can call it that). The server works and has guilds and a specific culture that is attached to it. TAKP has something similar, albeit a much different culture, especially as it goes for raiding and boxing. Time will tell if Quarm will realize the “dream” of a single box emu with a PoP era timeline. I certainly considered setting up a box with a similar rule set but working with project eq source files. The dev, secrets, is notable for: 1) technical prowess and 2) moving on from projects. Hope there is a support enough team to keep the project going.
