I always wanted a Gnome Rogue, but god drat are those stats just horrendous until Velious raid gear stat caps everything. Daybreak just needs to give me a gnome illusion mask on the cash shop, I’d buy one for every character. Gnome Monk would just own bones.

Cleric for a pocket Rez is absolutely a requirement for me with a group of friends / boxing setup. You are spot on about the time-lost aspect. It is much less drastic on these servers if you are playing with an exp pot up, but losing 30minutes+ worth of pulls is never a good feeling. Especially demoralizing if the entire group wipes.Givin posted:When Lanys opened in 99, I made a gnome rogue and dumped all starting points into agility, because agility and dex are always rogue stats right? I was overweight with a small set of banded. I originally created a Troll Shaman and immediately deleted them after playing on a Halfling for minutes because of their innate run-speed bonus.

Yeah the needing everything isn’t my favorite but it has been consistently expected in every group, so no big deal. I’ve not had issues with asking for an upgrade out of someone if they won the roll and can’t use it. Everyone really does seem to get more friendly the moment you stop humping unrest. Can’t speak towards other assholes, but if I’m pulling for 30 minutes and only getting green or below because we can’t find an open camp, I’m logging or doing something else. It’s not fun running in circles on its own, it is even worse when you are just running in circles with no exp as the outcome. vvvvv yeah this is a huge part of it. I may pull for 3 hours straight without a single afk break, I think that is worth throwing my my name into the random lottery machine. Same for any healer or caster that has been helping keep kills smooth. Friend / guild groups? NBG. You are dungeoning to gear up for a common cause. Random pugs? You’re on your own, the EXP is the common factor bringing you together. onesixtwo fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Mar 30, 2018 |

Dump all your points into sneak and mash sneak when you fd / pull in sneak but stay out of los of other mobs also enjoy being rooted six loving times in a row. Lastnight I was pulling to frenzied and the hamlord group was pulling as far up the tower as we were. Had several pulls merge and be 10+ strong, was some scary poo poo but loved being FD while their SK died a few times trying to steal my pulls.

Daunte Vicknabb posted:Butttttttttt please don't make me pull, Monk pulling is actually horrible Why does this keep coming up? Monks are the classic pullers, deal with it and use feign death after the spell hits you. Los casters, take the hit, fd. Reroll if pulling is offensive on the only vanilla class capable of pulling risk free. Use throwing stone on yourself to break root.

Givin posted:Anyone in a raiding guild on Coirnav worth a poo poo? Been through two so far that values boxes over full time mains and it just feels like this server is the drippy poo poo runoff of the other two TLPs. I've been raiding with Unforeseen for awhile now. I like em, but full disclosure I pretty much only login to raid until Kunark gives me more things to do. They aren't annoying, and the officers do seem to have good intent. They are also the only non-EST raiding guild on the entire freaking server so, default choice ended up being good for me luckily. We do Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday starting at 8p PST, 50% attendance requirement. Boxes and alts are definitely below raiders, and we only bring boxes on split dragons / when there is a need and not enough individual people, which we hadn't had issues with for a few weeks running now.

Givin posted:We looked at Unforseen but at the time they weren't looking for our group comp and we're an all or nothing package deal . Understandable since you can't swing a cat in every guild without hitting 20 Shadowknights. Bummer  Keep us in mind, and I wouldn't be opposed to poking at the officers if it came to it down the road. We're already looking at waitlists for mains on raids though, so if you have a 4-5 person package deal it really makes that hard to sway, unless you're bringing a handful of druids with you (we have.. two total that aren't boxes) and clerics.

I'd actually call the selo server the hardcore server since you'll need to grind like poo poo to keep up with progression. Yeah this was my thought as well. A month to go from 0-60 then have pop launch is not a casual start, faster exp or not.

Tai posted:I think they bricked it tbh. Selo isn't bad it's just a bit underwhelming. Mangler is just out right poo poo. See I'd be more interested in a Selos, but 12 weeks for expansion unlock instead of four would be perfect, especially starting in Luclin so you have a lot of space to spread out and farm through the levels. That would give me enough time to log in 2-4 times a week, play for a handful of hours tops each day, and still not feel like i'm always behind schedule. They're missing the mark on what makes casual play possible, half right with the increased Exp / rare drop rate, but the time investment requirements won't really feel that different with how little time you'll have between the next grind being unlocked.

I know i've already posted a couple times but yeah. If i was in a raid group, i'd absolutely push for Selos over Mangler / any other TLP at the moment. More rare spawns? Reduced instance lockouts? Less exp grinding? The raiding schedule for Selos is going to be absolutely intense for some guilds, badly so knowing they'll have four eras worth of targets to hit right away.

Nodelphi posted:As someone who is coming back for the Selo server, I do suggest making a free newbie and getting used to the relatively slow pace of gameplay and the UI again. I’m certainly glad I did, it probably saved me enough frustration to ensure I’ll have a good time once the server opens. Definitely would recommend people messing around on Vox (the free server at the top of the list) or if you're already subbed, yeah phinny, in order to setup UI just to avoid doing that on launch day if you're itching for it. Will just be a lot easier to already have the basics again re-learned. The advance loot window is well, select Always Need / Greed / Pass, i wanna say that's the "AN/AG/AV" first three rows. The next three rows are 'this drop only need/greed/pass'. You can always type /advloot to pull up the config, and black/whitelist items through the window. If you accidentally always-needed or passed something for example. I've also run into some groups that insist on a need all, so had to edit things as they dropped then.. reclick the checkboxes afterwards. Some UI stuff if you aren't familiar, also keep in mind the ui folder now contains the default / old spell gems, so you already have those luckily. https://www.eqinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=6417 a poster of our own makes this and it is the best imo https://www.eqinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=4615 more familiar 'old' UI for lots of people

sitcom bathysphere posted:Anyone have thoughts on the Official EQ1 Progression servers versus P1999? Namely, why choose this version over that one? Isn’t P1999 more nostalgic? This is the official eq1 thread, and kind of defacto progression server as a result, most discussion revolves around those servers for context. I’m someone who played p99 for a good couple years both on blue and red endgame already. The appeal of the live progression servers is starting over again, when tattered leather drops feel like an upgrade and everyone else is equally in rags. I missed the chance to get time locked items due to lack of knowledge or time I could camp back a decade oh my god two decades ago now gently caress, so it is nice to start from scratch and build up a character. Also the small few quality of life improvements (no actual corpse run for gear, some servers have improved exp rate, clickys in bags, etc) just add up to be more enjoyable than a 1:1 true to 1999 experience for me.

Good to note that living side of LGuk is usually ignored, and you can pretty much always find an open pick for live frogs. Tons of mobs / impromptu camping spots, or legit camps there. High 30s and up, you definitely need CC, i'd say moreso than dead side.

That Old Tree posted:What are the prospects for like a druid overnights on servers like Mangler? I can typically only play after 12am or 1am EST, and I'd love to try some nostalgia server, but if I'd basically just be alone why bother. Mangler is going to be populated 24/7 and there will be multiple instances of leveling zones (available to cycle through with /pick) open at all times of the day. Lower guk ends up spinning somewhere around 20-30 copies of itself and in the first couple weeks of a TLP there will be plenty of them open at really weird times. You may run into some periods where it isn’t as busy, but you should not worry about any population problems. Also, midnight EST is just 9pm PST. People like me will just be getting out of work and logging in around then, too.

Solarin posted:Runes are the poo poo. As a healer it's depressing seeing how poorly utilized they are in raids by enchanters who don't give a gently caress. They also have an aggro boost or decrease line that I never see them use. I remember doing rune spam rotations on tanks early into Kunark progression. Also see a shocking lack of grouped enchanters with charm pets not using rune. Just slap a 1p shield up on yourself. It lets you have more than half a second to respond in time to not die on a pet break!

Tai posted:Runes aren't needed for the bulk of the levels that enchanter charm is useful tbh. Right this is all true, but the second you go exping into the Hole you better bet having a 2k hp shield helps you not get flatlined in 2 seconds because you decided to take a drink / take your hands off the keyboard for half a second at the wrong time. Can’t tell you how many times I died from literally just taking a drink of water at the wrong time during downtime. Anything you can buffer to prevent this helps. Is it necessary in optimal play? No, but it helps give you that extra second if your healer isn’t on the ball and you just got quadded for 144s by a hasted rock golem.

Don’t roll an enchanter as first class no matter what you do any decision is better. They are the most powerful class and most easy to gently caress up due to inexperience. People on TLPs aren’t patient for newbies, especially ones that expect you to lockdown 5 mobs a pull while maintaining a charm pet with minimal if any breaks for 4 hour sessions.
