Evernoob posted:85/15 rule got implemented while my guild was already progressing through Time. So there is indeed a good chance it will be in on Phinigel. Yeah, everything below those zones is free game though, I forget the one forest zone with the bees frogs and giants, but enchanters/druids could charm frogs, kill bees (or giants but bees were slightly less dangerous imo) and make really good exp.

Krycek posted:I'd guess probably 30 minimum depending on how well geared and AA'd those 65s are. If you're well geared with good resists, probably right around 30. If they're brand new 65s with few AAs, probably need closer to 45. Eh you can do it with 24ish if you're well geared and have a lot of AAs, but yeah, brand new 65s, limited AAs, you're looking at 40+

xZAOx posted:I mean, you're definitely dumb, but there's 2 indications. There's the hourglass/wisp/crossed swords for if you're out-of-combat / cooldown / in-combat. And there's a red ring around part of your namplate UI when you have attack on. Does autofire not trigger either of those? No, they changed/broke this a LONG time ago (when I still played live EQ), autofire, if you are not actually in combat, will not display anything noticeable.

Krycek posted:Flagging for Bastion of Thunder. Most every other flag is from a raid kill where guilds can get 72 flags in one go, but this one requires each individual collect a set of rare/random drops off different types of giants in PoStorms. So imagine the zone full of xp groups all fighting over a limited number of spawns. At least they'll have /pick instances to help a little. That's right I forgot about those, I soloed 1 or 2 of the medallions with druid charm on frogs. Fun stuff.

The issue is the overall time investment, I'm at a point in my life where I can't devote enough time to it anymore

Trying to recover my original account now, hopefully I can, but I don't have access to the email nor the CC I used for the account. I do have 3 others that I logged into to create heroic characters on good old xegony, but I'm hoping I can get my original account with my druid on it, then I can run tank druid and 2 dps. What goons are still active on xegony?

Node posted:Aw drat. Were you raiding Tacvi when it was current? I was still getting caught up, raiding the elemental planes, in Vex Thal gear, masturbating to Plane of Time loot. GoD we were not a front running guild still, but GoD did kill most of the high end raid guilds off which allowed us to pick up some members and push forward (I guess their dicks fell off after getting slammed in a door for too long in GoD). Plane of Time we did after GoD released and we pushed up to uqua or maybe inktuta during GoD. We raided GoD and OoW simultaneously, we beat Tunat before beating OMM though. We did farm the gently caress out of tacvi during OoW though, I enjoyed the zone, but I could see it being loving ridiculous in era. I mean the fact that we couldn't even get through is somewhat a testament to the difficulty but we also had a lot of mouth breathers raiding with us during that time, once OoW hit we had a solid squad of 24-30 people + 10-18 cannon fodder folks that we steamrolled raids with.

xZAOx posted:Overall that sounds easier than PoP. "Kill thing, hail guy" for th emost part is pretty simple. It's the "run around and hail in sick bay, then in library, then back, then talk to seer to fix your poo poo, then talk to seer again, then again" stuff that people had trouble with. The best was when all the flagging was super hosed up in PoP and it took hours of running back and forth becuase you hailed in the wrong order, or you got the kill flags in an odd order that EQ didn't expect so you had to hail the seer 3000000000000x to get it corrected. This was a loving nightmare.

Suprfli6 posted:Tanking PoWater as a warrior in-era remains my least favorite MMO experience of all time, gently caress. lovely internet connection sure didn't help either. PoWater in era was lovely for everyone involved, melee especially, but it sucked for casters too. Geometry got REALLY loving weird underwater, I forget exactly what we figured out the problem was, but i think it had to do with the servers thinking the model was actually on the ground for LOS checks, so you had to watch the gently caress out of target rings because those always showed on the ground, and if it went behind a rock you either had to reposition the casters or reposition the mob.

Last night I sat with two of them in Fire and we chain pulled castle 1, both got 2 levels off a potion (60->62 and 62->64) and I don't think I've ever heard people be more grateful. Hopefully today we can finish off levels for em, then they can bang out critical AAs and get Time geared off rotting items for GoD. Yeah, if you're leveling late you really need to do it with a full group, either boxing or whatever.

Hand Island is the best leveling in the early game and you can get mad early game rich by selling netted gloves to monks. it's just a lovely zone to level in, it's been a LONG time since i did natural leveling there, but I recall there being odd gaps (like you hit level 3 or 4 and the mobs are either level 1-2 or 6, not a lot in the 4-5 range) and finding mobs could sometimes be a pain in the rear end.

Way back when I played live this happened (the exact issue I dealt with may have been fixed) and I think a private server I played on had this issue as well. Limited amount of testing I did at the time seemed to be that they stepped just barely out of range as the heal hit, so it casted successfully but in the milliseconds between the cast finishing and the heal actually landing they had moved out of range causing it to fail silently.
