I've been playing on Aradune and enjoying it. Hit 50 on a SK (Fliss) and working on Greenmist to keep myself busy. After playing on Selo then FV for awhile everything feels so slow. At least the population feels solid.

koreban posted:Aradune is probably better than Rizlona at this point. Being in Velious, there will still be leveling going on, especially as people ramp up for The Deep PL crews. Rizlona has a high boxing population, whereas Aradune is limited to 2 logins per IP, so no more than 2 boxing, which was meant to encourage social interaction. On Aradune PoP is over 5 months out, we just hit Velious. 2 more months of that and 3 of Luclin. This does give plenty of time to level to 60 though. Newbies zones are quite busy, especially Field of Bone or anything around Unrest.

Reindeer Flotilla posted:Understood, and thanks for the info. I’ll roll over to Aradune. You don't need to box. Concentrating on a single character is totally viable as long as you are willing to group. This is what I usually do. Any non-pure DPS class of course will find an easier time getting a group. (and monks are in demand either way) Tanks, CC and healers are always bread and butter classes in demand. Enchanter / Cleric is godmode through POP, after that charm is less usable. You need FAST reflexes our the chanter will squish frequently though. During the POP era though it's literally the best thing you can do. Monk or Shadow Knight / Shaman is amazing as well. Druid is not a bad 2nd box choice either, since it drastically cuts down on travel time. I have a good friend that did druid/mage a lot and it worked, at least through the pop/god era. I'm currently figuring out which to level as a side account for my SK main, it's either a shaman or bard. (Bards are good boxes as well)

DisgracelandUSA posted:Keep coffins in the bank!!!! The good news is keying mostly stops here. Next expansion you can look forward to few key hassles and merely dealing with invisible flags that will completely block your progression if you miss any. Oh wait, you can get piggybacked in via the mercies of your guildmates that have all the flags, but will be reliant on them. At least it's 'don't miss any raids the first time through' over 'farm 10 shards, an orb, a rift, etc'.

One in the Bum posted:Several in my guild on live can't make it through no matter how hard they try. I think it's their playing in 1st person view. Not that it's impossible to make it in 1st person, but combined with their being bad at eq, they just don't have a chance. We have to arrange a port for them every time we raid in WW. Huh. I almost always play in first person view. The swim through SG is only bad if you are squishy and get stunned multiple times by the fish. A good chunk of the classes have some form of DA effect and just one of those will get you through effortlessly. Once you are over the waterfall a simple invis potion will get you to WW. Unless they are the type that don't carry invis potions and expect it from others. In that case I hope the fish eat 'em. After 20 years I don't understand why people still fear that run.

DisgracelandUSA posted:Shm + anything melee works well. Bard is maybe a little meh. Ranger isn't quite tanky enough. But they all work. Shaman rogue gets interesting once you've got torpor and the shaman can hold aggro. Shadow knight, warrior, paladin all come with the bonus that all you really need is dps and you've got a group, especially kunark on. I had a Rogue/Shaman buddy on Selo that consistently put out great damage on raids (he ways had the good buffs of course). I did a lot of Depth of Darkhollow instancing with him as well and that was a fantastic combo all around. Druids come down to the player. One of the druids I've known I'd take over most clerics for healing because she knew her class inside and out. I'm sure I'll be on Mischief and I'm trying to settle on Rogue, Wizard or Druid because I've played too many SKs and Monks.

Origin puts you directly next to your classes initial Guild Master. A lot of class/race combinations have Origin spots that put them very close to a Book for getting to POK when PoP activates. For example, Human Monks from Qeynos have a very fast run to the POK Book. Hey, Gate potions are expensive!

Not only do they have a book in their newbie/guildmaster zone, but also a major wizard spire you can take to Luclin. Problem is you have to be an elf. The exact opposite would be Dark Elf. Especially clerics and rogues. Hope you like running through three frickin zones to get anywhere. Kalas fucked around with this message at 02:51 on May 13, 2021 |

I’ve been using Microsoft Garage Mouse. It works well and is free. The one thing I don’t think it does is have dedicated specific key to specific computer options, but the mouse/keyboard transitions to multiple screens very well. I’m just using a 2 box setup so I don’t need anything too fancy.

BGrifter posted:So for those of us new to TLPs, when does Mischief launch? Is it one minute after midnight or a set time on the 26th? I doubt Daybreak knows when the servers will be up. Big guilds seem to be splitting between the two servers. I think it's going to be less of an overflow server and more of a 'option #2' server.

koreban posted:We do it now during TSS for Oblivion in Sunderrock Springs. It takes something like 35 people to force the pick to spawn. Some zones just have crazy high population requirements for spawning picks. On Selo a guild paladin was going crazy trying to get the Lich to spawn in Everfrost. I think the eventual solution was for someone to start advertising 'GM event in Everfrost' at the same time LDON launched.

I don't use VMs to play EQ but I've had plenty of guildies say it's a cat and mouse game of VM detection and anti-detection methods. There's always a new way to spoof it till Daybreak cracks down on it. I use a cheap Intel NUC for my 2nd box when I can be bothered to play two account at the same time. I don't like boxing, but having a pocket druid is a really useful tool.

BGrifter posted:Any of the Monk experts in the thread mind giving me some tips to twink out an Iksar Monk alt on Mischief? You want 3 things really. A Fungi Tunic, a haste item and a decent weapon/pair. Imbued Fighter Staffs are 2hb lightweight and 38/40, Stave of Shielding 1hb are 17/28. FBSS is 1kr or less, COF is still 10+. Get the FBSS. Really, if you are looking a Krono or two level budget, you need a fungi tunic. Anything else after that is just icing on the top. You can get a set of Wu's cheap, some hp/ac rings and fill out other slots as plat allows.

MF_James posted:For monks, don't you forgo a weapon at like 35 or something as your fists are always better? Haha if you have your epic. Normally a level 35 monk would have 17/38 unarmed. A Stave of Shielding is 17/28 to give you an idea. Level 35 is when you can MQ the epic, and based on the prices of individual parts I can't imagine this would be less then 30-35kr on Thornblade. http://eqstats.net/Misc/MonkFists At 60 a monk's unarmed is 23/38, and the epic sets the speed at 26 which is why monks are damage gods through Velious.

BGrifter posted:Are there any weapons notable for high threat generation? In groups I want to keep it low of course, but it’d be nice to have something in my bags for duoing with my Druid. Sticking a wulfanite augment in a weapon will give it a stun/dd proc, and any stun is big agro. They come every 10 levels from a vendor in any race capital city and can be removed. They are tradable on FV style servers which removes some headaches. They are lore, but you can use say a level 20 and level 30 augment for dual wielding. They are fairly cheap with the level 50 top end version ~500-600p. Monks have no direct threat snap, but are good at a constant generation. On raids they will shed agro via feign death to keep from getting splatted. Most 'threat' weapon are going to have stuns built in, and having an augment proc and the internal proc will help. Those tend to have high level requirements for the internal procs.

Faceless, That's EQ Baby, Bloodthirst, Cowboy's & Camels... I've seen a bunch of assholes there, and I've seen a bunch of friendly players as well. In every large group of people you will find both types in quantity and the fact that these guilds are so big on the TLPs, the numbers involved simply means you will see lots of assholes with those guild tags. Half my friends list on Thornblade are in C&C. Several ex-guildmates from other TLPs went there and not a single one has said 'don't come here'.

Floob posted:I am enjoying Mischief still, but I do need to find a guild soon. Too much losing out on camps as boxers roll through the area. I figure if I can be part of a group that will happen less often. Oh no, that will still happen if you are in a guild. Hell I've seen random Cowboy & Camels group members go 'poo poo' when a box army of his own guild zoned in. They rolled over our camp without hesitation. Unless you have extra members sitting outside the group to concentrate the DPS, a boxed army will almost always win.

Floob posted:So far there has been just one occasion where I was able to out "rear end in a top hat". A lower level guy came into the zone and ran into all of the mobs I was camping, to gather them up while I was sitting there medding. He was relying on his buffs to keep him alive, and since he was also relying on his damage shield to kill the things, all I had to do was out damage his lovely attempts to do damage. One properly placed nuke, and I got credit for all his kills. After trying that 3 times, he ended up leaving Sounds like someone who didn't understand how damage shields and kill credit work. This person never PLed people as a druid/ranger or shadowknight.

Unrest basement will take you much further, but it's super contested and can't supply more then one group. I assume Guise has been nerfed at this point so there may not be a 60 perma sitting on the level 35 rare's spawn point.

Yiggy posted:Been doing a lot of tipt runs this past week and then prior on test we had some practice runs and those chanter pets are really hard to keep alive without complete heal and even with complete heal the mobs in there can drop a chanter pet in the time it takes to fire off a cheal if it catches you off guard or you start casting too late. And they out DPS and pull agro off our time-geared tanks and monks, easily. From what I remember, the best Tipt crushing group I've seen in era was my SK tank, chanter, shaman, necro, 2 beastlords. With the beastlords doing paragon and the necro doing a bit of pumping we never had to slow down whatsoever. We did replace a pet here and there but we had so much going on it didn't matter.

SK's HT will do half the work on the Heartstriker, it makes the fight a LOT easier since it cuts down the duration. Pally tank with a few SKs would be the comedy option, though it's hard to pull agro off a crit HT with the rolling DOT.
