I'm petitioning to have my characters from Fippy testcopied by GMs. I think I left off after DoDH, so level 70. I'm looking forward to getting back in (again). Hopefully I'll see some of you goons on tonight.

Hoohah posted:Why do you need to involve a GM? I test copied from Fippy last night so we can test some shenanigans going on with Trial of Creation and A Cunning Plan raids in UF, and they copied fine. I was in Citizen until a few weeks after we beat Mayong. Then there was a split and the group I played with outside of raiding hours left the guild under less than positive and I was caught up in the mess of it, being a known associate. I stopped paying the sub for the accounts, so unless there's a free way to get back in without resubbing so I can test-copy, I'm pretty sure I need to have a GM do it. Funny enough, it looks like the guys I used to play with are in or were in EoE. I used to play Druid/Paladin. I'm sure they're still at 70, so I wouldn't be any good for UF raiding, but my curiosity is piqued. Would you mind if we took that chat to PMs for more specific info?

Sorry about the tells right before raid time tonight, but I appreciate you taking the time to talk Hoohah. I went ahead and bought the month sub for my druid and paladin tonight. I've got a shaman that I was using as a 4th box a while back, but I think it was barely 70 with all of 50 or 60 AAs at the time. If things go well I could easily resub that account as well. I've spent the evening so far acclimating myself with the game again, setting up hotbars (holy gently caress I forgot how many buttons druids get), trying to get my old UI to work (it doesn't appear to be compatible anymore) and putzing around in arcstone while trying to read up on where I could box myself with some mercs for decent exp. (PoFire was poo poo, arcstone undead wasn't the worst, but wasn't far off). Suggestions would be lovely.

I was at C1 just testing out my mercs. I haven't ever actually played with them before. The times I tried coming back were always to progression servers. I'll head to C2 and see what's up.

Hoohah posted:Boxing / Alternate characters. Thanks for the info. Right now my druid and paladin are 70. I've got about 900 AAs on the druid, and about 500 on the paladin. Just enough to muddle through leveling without feeling like I'm lacking major abilities. Ilsalin could work, though PoFire is ridiculously easy at the moment and isn't the worst xp I've ever seen. The other zones I don't know. When I quit playing my Rogue back on Veeshan (pre Luclin merger) I stopped at DoDH, and it looks like I quit around the same point on Fippy, so I haven't really seen anyhting from Prophecy of Ro on. I'd probably need an escort or directions to get to those zones. My paladin is ~13.8k hp, 3k Ac, epic 2.0 done with mostly anguish/mpg trial level gear. Druid is epic 2.5, mostly gear from the final zone of DoDh that I can't remember the name of. Decent augs, lots of clickies and poo poo. My shaman, whom I did not resub at this time, was 70 (or near enough) with 50 or so AAs and I wouldn't consider playing it again until I could reasonably PL it in some place like Ilsalin. I'll be on a bunch this weekend, so I'm looking forward to some socializing. Edit: I suppose I'll ask here since it'll be infinitely better than asking on eqinterface: does anyone use Tablets UI anymore? I'm trying to get it back. I've been using it since probably 2003 or 2004 and I'll be heartbroken if I have to use one of the more modern schitzo looking UIs. koreban fucked around with this message at 10:12 on Oct 2, 2014 |

darkhand posted:Progression servers have autogranted AAs too, and I don't think they lagged too far behind getting them. Shouldn't be hard to translate that to the TDS release/UF->HoT autogrants. Who knows though, it's SOE. I can confirm that Fippy autogrants through DoDh. I dinged 71 last night and got a bunch of new white text in my AA box for TSS AAs that weren't autogranted. I'm not far enough into my resub to know where we're at for progression in UF, but if it's like Velious through TSS (when I actually played the server) with the exception of GoD, we're probably in the voting cooldown period towards the next expansion.

MrTheDevious posted:Same options as we gave you a page ago when you were the same level asking the same question. Stanos pretty much covered it. There's never going to be anywhere better than PoFire or pally swarming Illsalin at that level no matter how many times you ask I've settled into the Valdeholm pit. I got taken to the back of the zone where the giants have that unresistable stun and can come in pairs really often. The spiders in the pit, however, are just what I was looking for. I understand that having someone coming in here asking similar questions can be irritating, however I kept trying the places people suggested and they just weren't "right". I should have clarified that I was looking for, perhaps specific camps within the zones that people were thinking of, in case I didn't know of them. Either way, Valdeholm pit is really nice at 74 and the exp is coming along briskly.

Pilsner posted:Paw is easy peasy and decent XP until level 80, and at 80 you can rape the place with HoT level 80 gear. I'm sure faster XP options exist, but I doubt they are as easy and comfortable as Paw. Has paw been revamped again? I remember doing it with the first revamp at 65 or 70 in low numbers groups. Maybe I'm playing wrong. I'm used to the single mob/double pull at most scenario. Should I be looking more toward doing some sort of swarming in zones with lt blues/dk blues?

Pilsner posted:Which class are you trying to level? I saw in a previous post by you that you have a Druid and Paladin. Druid will probably be crap in Paw, but a Paladin will be fine (as fine as a mid-level Paladin can be...). Paw is good for melee. I'm leveling 3 at once. I have a (now) 75 paladin, a 75 druid and a 73 shaman. Doing the Valdholm pit i was able to keep a decent pace, with only a few really long pulls inbetween spawns. I have the bonus of being able to use the summoned paladin mount so I can get out and back quickly on pulls. It works out for playing during the day for me, because I can manage interruptions easily. I went to paw last night and pulled probably 10 or 12 mobs. I was able to manage with lingering sloth, skin of reptile and druid heals when necessary, but it was a lot more spastic and everything in zone was lt blue. I'm sure I'm doing some things wrong and I'm definitely not keeping up with all of my spells from 71 on. I picked up some specifics that I knew I'd need (heals, the 71 paladin snap aggro spell, auras) but I'm not going to dump a ton of money into spells I won't use. I'll start buying at 81 and get the full cycle of spells from there onwards. As for swarming, I'm much more comfortable doing it in zones where I can take advantage of slay procs to manage aggro and kill faster. I did AA grinds at 70 in the Hole and slays just made that for me. I'll probably hit up RoI again after 80 to see if I can start doing pack pulls and clearing the undead shiliskin quickly. In the meantime, Valdholm may not be the exact best, but it's the one camp that "felt" right when I got to it, and I did 1.5 levels there on Sunday with several breaks. I'm happy to take any more suggestions and if I'm definitely doing something wrong, or there's some trick to managing a particular tactic, I'm always up for learning and happy to give it a try.

Node posted:I swear, every time you post about EQ, it bounces between "I'm bored of this game" and "I'm so excited!" Fippy is, indeed, quite dead. I had an unfortunate turn if work events that have kept me from logging in the last 3 or 4 nights, but the server is very quiet most nights. When I am on, I'm generally 3 boxing my crew, but there's basically no LFGs between 70 and 83 or so. Everyone in those levels are being boxed or PLed by guildies/friends. That said, I'm always up for making more friends and I'm realizing that it's going to take me some time to get to 85, (I'm being careful not to burn myself out) so if anyone's starting on fippy or coming back and wants a PL, contact koreban or courthouse in the serverwide channel and I'll be happy to give druid/shaman/paladin buffs and heals and then PL in group once they're mid 60s or whatever the cutoff level is for group exp.

JustJeff88 posted:I played a druid then. We were still crap for healing in groups because we didn't have resurrections. While I had a different experience in the last 2 TLP servers that I main'd a druid on, I hardly ever advertised myself to the group as a healer. I was always debuffs, spot heals and utility buffs. Especially after Luclin/PoP. I didn't feel really good about main healing in a group until Omens or so. Druids aren't high priority in the super-fast leveling groups, however I had friends that liked to level their PLing characters first, then PL their boxes or mains, so I never really had an issue getting groups.

RCarr posted:gently caress. Reading that FAQ actually made me want to play this poo poo game again. How many people are planning on playing? I only have one computer so I will be single boxing as It's looking like Phinny is shaping up to be a really popular server choice for people. They've already mentioned load balancing and possibly opening a second server if it gets overwhelmed. For my own perspective, touching base with my old guildmates from Fippy, we've got like 160 people that have registered for Phinny with us, and at least half are committing to one or more box alts. I bought 90 days of game time for this launch, sight unseen when they had the special pricing on Monday and I'm wondering if I shouldn't have gone in for a full year. I'm legit excited, wonderful fuckups and all.

Givin posted:I am a complete outsider to any knowledge of EQ guilds so this is pretty much just me talking out my rear end. As much criticism as Dima deserves, this is not one of them. I was in Citizen for years and I plan to play with his guild again on Phinny. I can confirm having seen logs and screenshots of him passing cloaks and scales to guild leaders of guilds staying on lockjaw. The people posting about that on the forums are plainly wrong. As to the RMT rumors, I've never once seen evidence of that. There is some selling of drops well after they've become trivial, but that is done as smaller groups of people in old content, not as a guild initiative. As to charging dkp for epics, it's more about prioritizing contributors and determining order of awards than some sinister screwing of members. When you have 8 warriors, how do you determine priority? Or with 12 clerics? The guild does raid night hits on every raid-required target for people's epics. Everyone gets it eventually. People who want it first, ahead of others in the same class, pay dkp up front for priority.

JustJeff88 posted:I'm all in favour of not poopsocking, but I feel compelled to ask again... why would that for a moment be necessary on a server with instanced raid targets? The only thing that I can think of would be perhaps certain epic mobs, but those aren't out yet. I'm starting to think that I don't understand something about instancing on this server. Perhaps it's more limited than I think. E-peen and a chance at double loots per week. With a 90 day window between expansions, maximizing gear distribution is the best way to ensure competitiveness come the next opening. It's basically MAXXXXXIMUMPOOPSOCKING! which really, really only matters to AS/TL. Who, incidently, are being the most brash and annoying about "being first" at it.

RCarr posted:Are instances going to be able to be controlled? Like if you bring in a raid full of 50 people, it will automatically spawn a new instance for you? From what I've gathered in /gu, you can hail the squiddy guys outside the instance and it will spawn an instance and give anyone in the group an automatic 2 day lockout timer. Anyone who joins the instance will gain the same timer. Once a boss is killed, the timer goes to 6.5 days. So if you have 50 or 70 people or whatever the max is, you spawn the instance and roll out. If you have more, you split raid and open two instances. There's a minimum required for the hail guys to spawn an instance, I believe it's a full group. This should encourage instancing of /pick zones like planes for single group gear farming, while maintaining lockouts for raid targets.

I'm in gangstercitizen and no one's brought it up in the ~3.5 days of /played I've logged thus far. We're all just being super not-caring about it until we've got critical mass of people and can start split raiding the dragons. Hell, half the guild is off until Thursday or Friday because Fippy raiding is still a priority.

Just going to put it out there but CitiGangster is doing more of the casual thing right now. We have so many people that showing up once a week on raid nights to hit scheduled instance targets would be trivial. There's no need to go balls deep in batphones. I know I won't be. We're also not beating the wardrums for targets. We've been told not to take the 2 day lockout instances because of scheduled raids and that we're going to start looking on targets on Tuesday. That's it, really. Everyone's having fun doing exp and trade skills. Just for consideration.

I wasn't on tonight, I decided to be social and go outside with friends, however, I can pretty confidently say that if it was even noticed by OGC, the laughs were 100% at MIM. We may have a 3-server long grudgematch/hatefuck that needs to happen between us and AoS/TL, but the rancor towards MIM is the only thing that truly gets us worked up. With AoS it's more about "well, what haven't they killed so we can server first on them and poke the bear?" With MIM it's "You all are not permitted to go /anon without an officer's approval, unless MIM's pulled some bullshit again and you need to drop a zone's worth of poo poo on them, because we'd totally understand that." Not a literal quote, but close, and anyone who knows the person who said it knows what was implied by it. In my own experiences with them, no one's quite risen to that level, but if I had egress or the succor AA on my druid, there's more than a few fuckwits over there that I'd have been hard pressed not to seriously consider it for. In other, more positive news, I had a really chill series of encounters with EoE people who seem alright if you're generally internet polite to them, so if anyone's looking for a guild with goons in it that isn't OGC, they've been cool even to someone with a shitbag guild tag like me.

Does this guild really think their poo poo doesn't stink or something? I didn't know about any multi server drama. I just want to kill internet dragons and gods in their own homes Basically, /role makes you anon to /who requests, but the guild management tool will still show your zone location. Going /anon anonymizes your zone location. It's basically a tool for guilds that would do on-call raids to be able to determine if they have numbers to hit mobs, and if they call a raid, whether or not someone is not responding because they're camping a mob or in an exp group or whatever. There's also the fact that /role keeps your guild tag displayed, which is generally considered to keep people honest and not griefing because it can be reflected on the guild. When people go /anon the assumption is that they're up to no good. it's either such a non-issue as to be acknowledged for what it is and everyone goes /role and forgets about it, or it's a "criminal infringement on you're personal right to privacy" in your online game club.
