So I have this from when I played EQ2 (I think they give you 5 a month or something): What's a good booster pack to choose for EQ1 rewards? I know there's a site that lists them all, but any suggestions?

Jotto posted:Legends of norrath official site lists all the loots for each "expansion" of cards. I would really recommend looking through it as I can't remember what ones are good at the moment. Whatever expansion gives you kiss of erollsi or whatever maybe one of the better ones. Ya I knew that from EQ2. I was more just asking what's some cool loot I can get myself, not what's some sweet loot I can sell. I'll just have to poke through the website sometime later.

Just want to say I've been having a blast playing this. There's a decent amount of grouping going on most nights at all level ranges. Having 2-4 people + mercs makes for amazing exp and is extremely fun. Spent the last two nights grinding AA exp at 65. I'm Xasraik in game (65 Beastlord). If you're around my level and want to grind AA or EXP I'll be with Zorl (65 Rogue) grinding AAs in BoT tonight. Around 6-7 PM PST for a few hours. With 3 people and 3 mercs it's 10-12% AA a kill at 65. Most kills take 15-30 seconds with constant pulls.

xZAOx posted:I think a lot of us are still in what I call the "honeymoon" phase. Early part of EQ has been made super easy, lots of gear for these levels looks insane compared to what we were used to back-in-the-day, and is easy to get, seeing lots of new content, etc. Once you hit 50-60+ it starts to become very hard to exp on your own. Not to say it's impossible, but a purely solo player with one merc is going to have a hard time getting very far past 60-70. It will also be relatively painfully slow. The good news is on Luclin there are a lot active players all over the board, so now's the time to get in and catch up.

Bahanahab posted:What's the deal with enchanters now? From what people are saying in general chat, they're pretty much a useless spot. When I asked why they said "DPS is king now, and since single pulling is so easy CC isn't really needed anymore." As far as I've heard/read enchanters are in a really weird spot where you only need them for high-high-high-end raiding. And other than that they're a wasted spot. Something to do with AoE stunning mobs in some of the top tier raid zones.

Stack of Scabs posted:No loving way someone is that stupid. If you aren't even trying to go for the easy rear end anniversary augs, which are better than most augs from actual content, then just uninstall. Also, if you aren't stacking heroics on said augs then definitely uninstall. I was the one that said this particular comment about why would someone farm that aug , and I stand by my point. The person was level 70 and spent self claimed half a day farming an aug that had 3 mana regen and 90 mana on it. When at level 80 you can get gear off the bazaar that has 800+ mana 29+ mana regen on it for 100p-5kp a piece. Having raided in EQ in the past myself, augs were something you farm very late game once you've filled out most of your slots with gear you won't be replacing anytime soon. This may have changed recently, but that's just my experience and why I thought it was/is ridiculous that someone would spend that amount of time farming a single aug at level 70. GodIsInTheTrees posted:That's not what I'm saying at all, and I don't think anyone else is either. The issue is that sitting naked for 65 levels while a tank merc does all the work for you is not teaching you how to play, most importantly the differences between WoW (zergrush poo poo) and EQ (fuckin chill and go slow). At 65 and 70, some new goons are running into a brick wall of The problem here is that the high levels in the guild chat have screamed from day one to "just let your tank merc kill everything, don't bother getting any gear/spells/weapons just let your tank merc kill and do nothing". This happened since day one of the goon rush and my friend Zorl was basically trolled in gchat for asking for 300p to buy a new dagger. Then people get to 50-60 and have no weapons skills, no casting skills, and generally have no idea how to even remotely play their class in any way. Then the guild just grouped up and brute forced around a few zones pushing them even higher with no knowledge of the game. Luckily myself and Zorl ignored this advice and it's probably why we're still at the "forefront" of the noobie goon rush. Having started the weekend it went free to play, and are level 75 with 350 AA's a piece and still moving forward relatively quickly. Then again Zorl raided with Pandemonium on Zek for years "back in the day" and I raided on and off with him during the same time, so we have a good base of knowledge already. EDIT: I remember asking for a few plat to buy spells and was basically told "WHY WOULD YOU BUY SPELLS AT LEVEL 10 LOLOLOL UR DUM".

because of it, which is what we're talking about. The game's not rocket science, but it does have a lot of weird mechanics that don't show up in other MMOs

Beo posted:Any goons creeping on 80 should let me know I think I should be able to outfit quite a few people in t1 hot gear soon or at least fill a few slots. My beastlord should be 80+ by this weekend. Working on defensive AAs right now though. Only 100-150 more to get then I'm going to unlock. Xasraik in game. Would appreciate any free gear!

Sgt Froggy posted:Now I am torn. I played the Free warrior for a few hours today. I can't believe how much I have forgotten and just how enjoyable and low stress it really was. I'm not saying "Don't pick bard" and I'm not implying that half the bards in the guild will be playing "long term", but I will say that we have a metric fuckton of bards in the guild. Both boxed and mained. At one point over last weekend I think we had 10+ bards online at one time. The problem with both bard and shaman is they are both VERY popular box classes, and since boxing gets you an extra free merc these days.... Lots of people box.

Dizz posted:Do I need hand to hand weapons in order to train said skill? Using bare fists hasn't given me any skillups since I started and was skill 17 at level 40. I just invested about 70+ skill points into training it and I'm still not getting any skills. What class are you playing? Monk? You shouldn't have to do anything other than hit mobs to get skill ups. I know on my BST I got skill ups just fine when I wasn't using a weapon.

Xarthos posted:So I had 3 accounts back in the day. I can't seem to login to any of them. I went through the password and username recovery system and it see all of them but they don't work. I've already submitted a ticket about this but I am curious if anyone can tell me what is going on. Due to Sony getting hacked if you fail more than 6-12 logins in a 24 hour period you will get locked out completely from their website for 24 hours. It also doesn't give you an sort of error message explaining what is going on. Also you can only recover one account per IP address per day.

Sgt Froggy posted:Thats very interesting. I got two of three restored before I got the 24 message. Wonder if I was just fortune or faulty memory. Well when I was trying to find an account with vet rewards, I was only able to recover one. However my friend was able to do 3 or 4 before he was locked. Maybe I just suck, or you guys got lucky, or it's time based. No idea. All I know is that it's extremely ridiculous.

Flarestar posted:Some of you guys that are AFK grinding via MQ2 bot scripts might want to be a bit more circumspect about where you do it. As long as you're not using the active hacks you're probably safe from getting detected by anything automated, but it's really, really obvious to other players when someone's botting, and when you're one of the first things I see upon entering a hot zone, that's pretty likely to get you reported. Can I ask who you think is doing this you don't have to call anyone out by name obviously? If you think it's Xasraik / Zorlin / Nomi we're not nor ever have been botting. Might not be us that you're talking about, but if it is you don't have to worry because we're not.

I've found the best way to spend AA's is to get about 15 unspent. Then check "only show AA's I can buy" or whatever the button is, and just look through them all. It's fairly obvious what AA's are going to be good and which are going to be bad. Decent AA's in the general tab: -Innate Run Speed -Combat Agility / Combat Stability (Definitely get ranks 1-3 of both as these give the most substantial bonus.) (Ranks 4-8 are 1% per, 9+ are presumably less. (to the best of my knowledge)) -Natural Durability -Mystical Attuning (can be good for classes with lots of self buffs and clickies don't grab this first by any means) After the general tab just think to yourself. Do I do X alot? Does this AA increase X? So for pets, you want to grab pet crit, pet flurry, ect. If you have your pet tank, grab pet defensive AA's. The Archetype / Class should be fairly easy to figure out. Bugamol fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Apr 10, 2012 |

Unfortunately it's going to be extremely hard to find anything like that. You're just going to have to make your own judgement calls, or ask about individual AA's on a case by case basis. This isn't like WoW or any other huge game where you can easily find a guide that tells you exactly what to buy at what levels for an ideal build. The good news is that if you buy a lovely AA it's not really the end of the world and you can just grind out a few more and not worry about it.

Have you guys never played an MMO before? Almost all MMO patch days are like this. It's pretty much industry standard that patch days are days not to play. And then if something major goes wrong with the patch as happened here it normally takes a few days for it to resolve itself.

xZAOx posted:Just because the majority of the industry sucks dick at releasing software, doesn't mean it should be acceptable as a level of service. WoW was/is notorious for terrible patch days. I'm not saying that it should be acceptable for poo poo like this to happen, but it's funny to see patches go smoothly 9/10 times, and that 10th time where something does go wrong all the RAAAAAAAAAAGE that ensues. poo poo happens, put your mouse and keyboard down for a few hours and come back. The worlds not out to get you. EDIT: I also think you massively underestimate the complexity of PATCHING a game. That means your changing some of the code, but not all of it. I took very little programming in college, and I can tell you it's pretty easy to massively gently caress yourself over by changing a small bit of code. Factor in the fact that this is a 13 year old game that's probably seen 100+ different programmers, and it's not hard to realize poo poo is going happen sometimes.

With merc gear and merc AA's are tank mercs better these days? Are they a viable option post 80? When I played last they were great up until about 70-80 and then just got exponentially worse after that. I'm thinking of soloing druid/tank merc. Is this a terrible plan? I'm not worries about shaman being a better pick, but don't want to set myself up to be miserable when I hit 80.
