Started on Mangler last night on a whim, as I enjoyed my P99 time but that place is toxic af. A few questions if anyone can help me out: - Is boxing really required? I'm not opposed to it, but usually when I dual-box, I play much more solo and end up getting bored and burning out. - I usually play shaman, as I played a shaman live from 99-04, on SoD and on P99; if I'm playing solo, is there a better / cooler choice instead of being boring, given that I'll only have some knowledge of how to play the class. - Innothule was pretty dead, is there some newbie / beginner guild to join? I'm in the newbie players channel but it's not exactly bumping. - Are there any in-game chat channels worth joining?

Ehud posted:- No it's not required. I did 1-50 on my Monk grouping with people. There are a bunch of groups in all the normal classic leveling spots. Cool! The second point was the I usually get bored when I dual box, but if #trueboxing is fine, then I'll roll with that. I was thinking about necromancer, but that's a lonely life. Maybe enchanter, but I think people will yell at me when I can't keep five mobs mezzed and a pet charmed and enchanter raiding sucks. Any other suggestions on cool single boxes that can solo?

I got level 25, unlocked cannibalize and regeneration and game is good. Is it worthwhile to try to do some gear farming / grinds (totemic armor, etc) or just race to 60 so I can get in on hate raids, etc?

My shaman is level 43. I've farmed all my gear myself; finished all totemic except for chest and helm. Farmed an Ebon War Spear for my weapon. I solo farmed supplier and evil eye bags. Got my innoruk deity neck. Things are pretty chill. 46 is coming up fast. Any suggestions for raid guilds on mangler so I can get in on that sweet, sweet DKP? E: also, I've got about 3k platinum saved up; should I start buying resist gear or don't worry about it? DisgracelandUSA fucked around with this message at 00:55 on May 16, 2019 |

Elephunk posted:I did 1 - 38 on Selo's yesterday... me on shaman, friends on ranger/monk. Slow is #1. But the faster mobs die, the less effective it is, and the more you'll monopolize your mana as opposed to just healing without slow. DoTs are mostly for soloing. The disease dot lasts a long time and is harder to land / uses a different resist debuff. The poison is easier to lander, lasts ~42 seconds and uses poison resist (obvi) that is debuffed by the mala line. Haste is good. Talisman is good. Stat buffs are good if you haven't hit hard cap. Don't forget regen/chloroplast on tank and yourself and never stop cannibalizing Pet is fun, free dps but isn't very effective and not mana efficient if it keeps dying.

Thinking about doing Aradune with my girlfriend, who played a tiny bit of wow (like level 10 (with me)). Gonna let her pick what she wants to play and then I'll pick something to complement it. But hoping for some kind of int caster combo, or bard/druid or maybe shaman+something. Is kunark going to open at release or is this a pure classic start?

I got my girlfriend onboard for Wednesday. I think we're gonna go with bard (me) / druid (her). I'm still kind of on the fence and want to default to monk/SK + shaman, but I don't think she'd enjoy monk and I don't think she wants an ugly race.

My girlfriend and I ended up doing ogre shaman/SK combo, mostly because I thought warrior would be too boring. We made it to level 4, got some patchwork and killed some lizards. She likes killing lizards. All the newbie armor quests that get introduced later are unavailable, but the quest items drop and sell for silver, so we ended the night with about 12 plat in the bank. I'm a little sad because the lizard tails that are used for raw hide armor quest no longer drop though. So we've got to do the lovely lizardman scout camps for mystic dolls if we want rawhide. How much money does it take to make sets of banded? Should I go that route or just save 100ish platinum to get us two sets?

So my girlfriend is really enjoying EQ. Unfortunately, the queue times are really ruining everything. Half the time her queue never pops. The other half the time, it seems like one of us crashes as soon as the other gets in. Or one gets logged out due to idle before the other gets in. We're trying to play together but that's really making things suck, but we don't really want to play independently. Then when we get in, it can be hard to find something to do, find the free pick, etc. We found a decent small guild, Arat Erar, but I don't know if they'll be killing dragons anytime soon. But I also don't know how long we'll last.

snergle posted:pretty excited for kunark on rizlona. seems like there should be alot more to do outside raiding and making krono to support the 6 boxing habit my brother and i have. Just wish the sk sword needed for the epic was on golems in kunark instead of velious. Excited for kunark on aradune. Ended up with a squad of ex-Red/Blue players with an overlap of Eve players I knew or was tangentially connected to. Good group, if not a little trolly / aggressive about camps and competition. Girlfriend is enjoying it and starting to really get the game as a SK. She's super geared with multiple sky drops, though she doesn't understand how much better equipped she is than the average player.

Feel bad about double posting but lol the sleeper got awakened today on Aradune. That's EQ Baby had a standing agreement with every big guild that they'll be taking all the overworld spawns they can get, feel free to compete, but they wouldn't awaken the sleeper until later in the expansion. But if someone engaged the last warder, they would contest it to get the awakening kill. Every guild was fine with this except the big EU guild, which engaged the 4th warder at 8 AM eastern. That's EQ Baby contested and killed it on day 4 of Velious. Now I'm having to explain to my guild it sucks but lol it's just pixels and you should just move on and get over it.

North freeport doesn't exist anymore. Most things you want are in west freeport, some are in east. Server is cool and good.

Solarin posted:There are a couple features on these servers that greatly simplify things. First of all every character at level 5 can use an Origin ability that takes them back to their starting city guild hall. Second there is an in game parcel system to freely and instantly send items or plat between zcharacters. The parcel vendors are at the bank in every town more or less. This. As well, there's a shared bank, so you can always roll a new character, buy spells, put them in the bank and then grab them on the main. Also the dot spell vendors in innothule are beta neutral so any can use them. Shaman monk is a great combo that does well in nearly every setting.

Ugh, this TLP I did shaman, (my GF's) shadow knight, wizard twice and got 3 kills on verona tomb, 2 kills on vessel drozzlin and 3 kills on wraith of shissar. The low point was coordinating on comms with 4 people to open trades with the competition when Lhranc spawned to block them from completing the turn in. This is a good set of changes, but I think they forgot about Kurron Ni, the 36 hour spawn to start the SK epic. Which I also killed when we didn't really need to.

Fanelien posted:Hot drat fixing the broken golem after so drat long? Never really played any class seriously other than wizard and finding the golem up and beating someone to the turn in was one of the worst bits of my time on Mangler and Live. TLPs just have people farming that poo poo for selling MQs on ectunnel.com all the time. But now it looks like you could open a DZ and have a 2 hour window at the end where you could get a broken golem for your guild wizard, just gotta have a group sitting keeping the DZ open for a few hours if OW is full of shitheels. The first few times TEB warped the adds downstairs but you can't warp emp anymore. But I think next DZ we're doing it legit. The first kill was.like 20 people in room (just clerics, caster DPS, tanks, anyone with a weapon), everyone else downstairs.

Baconroll posted:Anyone got the inside-line on whats going on with levelling over 60 on Luclin on Aradune ? Seems to be lots of talk of some exploit that allows people to go over level 60 and get Vet AAs (and possibly others), and then delevel but keep the AAs. Haven't heard about this, but I've been fairly absent of the game except for weekly DZs and the occasional batphone. If anyone in TEB is doing this, they're not advertising.

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. Enc/clr is good and you can just solo everything forever, but enchanter can be a boring class in velious and beyond. And everyone will always value you for your cleric. Druid / Bard still seems fun/interesting, but people hate druids so ymmv. Enc/Nec was fun at level 20-40. Fear kite with charm pets outdoors, charm two pets in dungeons, felt very strong, but Nec/Nec might just be easier to play.

I don't know about mischief, but by the end of vanilla, I had around 8ish krono from just selling random loot and potions. Kunark, maybe 12? Velious 16? And then in Luclin I made another 10. I didn't really do much speculation, and I didn't flip poo poo in the tunnel. I think if you're playing and active, it's fairly easy to make krono to keep the sub free. If you're trying to ectunnel and make $$$, it starts getting harder.

schwein11 posted:I'm going to be playing on Mischief with my brother and he's decided he wants to play a druid. We'd really like to spend as much time as Faydwer as possible early on (at least until we level out of Unrest, we may or may not mess with Mistmoore) due to nostalgia reasons. I'm trying to figure out what would be a good class to play that combos well with a druid such that the two of us can do decently well and ideally also fit into a group. My only other requirement is no wizard or enchanter. My initial thought is necro (snares and dots), mage (with the pet to tank), or bard (because i've never played one and they seem interesting, though don't know how much it would contribute to dps for circumstances when it's just the two of us). Any thoughts on these or other combinations? Druid Bard is an interesting combo. Snare kiting / fear dot kiting / charm kiting are all good and cool. Just make sure neither of you are half elves if you wanna go faydwer, because they can't wear small armor.

BGrifter posted:It would be super weird to play a non-Froglok Shaman though. Ogre shaman stun immunity will be far more useful than troll regen for a shaman in both the short run and the long run. Solarin posted:Boxing two huge races might be annoying since it could be unusually difficult to get a pre nerf guise (unless you're fine paying krono I guess) Shamans get shrink, and guise gets rid of 2h bash. I did the ogre sk/shm combo on Aradune with my gf who had never played before. V. Good combo, super aces. But also, basically all the ogre newbie quests are totally gutted because the improved newbie experience/quests removed all the drops necessary for the classic ones. Not a problem, just pointing out. Also, another one I'm throwing out, that I think I already did upthread, Nec/enc is sick fun in classic. And probably kunark. Just make sure to buy healing and rejuvenation potions.

Solarin posted:I think gdkp would draw out a lot of aggression about underperforming players too. Wizards AFK for trash clears, shaman spamming ice nuke, bards getting interrupted and forgetting to start their songs for an hour. All of these people are now directly losing you money by reducing your split, unless they are spending like whales. If you're in a high calibre guild, people are being called out for being bad regardless of the dkp system. I never really got roasted, but people in TEB would poke fun at me for parsing less than 1m damage in VT on a shaman, and eventually the expectation was that I should be top 20 DPS on most bosses.
