Is there some way to load up an instance of EQ where you’re old school GM power and can cruise through zones up to Velious soloing kunark and ntov and whatnot? I want to get a nostalgia kick but I don’t want to poop sock for 5 years like I did back in the day.

I’m insane and I’m decided to pick up the new TLP after a 15 year hiatus. That is all. Edit: made a dark elf enchanter named Satedogg. This is definitely nostalgic ... not sure how we ever did this without a map. rally fucked around with this message at 15:02 on May 29, 2020 |

I noticed that there is a hugely disproportionate number of enchanters right now. Think I’m gonna roll a necro and see how that goes. I’m also interested in the guild status.

Queues on Aradune seem to be alleviated. If anyone is on there looking for a raiding guild hit me up (Geebsy in game). We have a solid core of players (a lot of ex Triality members) but haven’t had a heavy raid force because of the queues.but that seems to be improving now. We’re focusing on taking down content via mechanics and solid play rather than 170 man Zerg rush style. Edit: finally got a 50 toon raid force into hate and took down inny easily. Anyone who wants in on some raids HMU. We have a lot of hate gear rotting for melee/bards rally fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Jun 24, 2020 |

Maybe that’s true but I’m not lying. Rogean from P99 is also in the guild. Anyway I was just putting the word out if anyone wants a chill raid guild that is gonna clear all the content but not Zerg rush it, past member affiliations aside.

The VT keying has really sucked but it was cool doing VT. I only played up until luclin came out originally so this is all new content for me. I came outta there with the AHR robe so I guess all the toxicity was worth it? Now I need to key my ranger and I can’t really face fungus grove again but maybe things will calm down soon.

Solarin posted:this is making me feel extremely casual for not having a back up plan to make it to the raid. The keying is hilariously toxic, I gotta agree with you. I hope they alleviate some of the pain points because I absolutely hate the pseudo PvP poo poo of stronger guilds rolling weaker guilds for PvE content. At least for Luclin keys the choke points decongest relatively quickly. No, my main is Geebsy ( sorry if I pushed you out of a shard camp any time since luclin opened ).

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. I’ve seen it happening ( yellow cons in the deep ) but all I know is that it involves the expansion ticket item somehow. My whole guild pretty much agreed not to touch it with a 10 foot pole since most of us have previous account suspensions from forever ago.

I don't know what guilds can really do to prevent it besides weird witch hunts. Even in my Aradune guild that could barely field enough to kill vulak, we had people that ripped the cord. That’s probably a large reason WHY people ripped the cord. I know of more than one person who was fed up with their guild’s slow progression and blew their dkp on the first or second vulak then bounced.

Necros have a ton of utility other than dots in different situations but I think they make a pretty bad box for the most part. Necro main with a box bard is pretty OP though.

Cpt_Obvious posted:What is a "cycle" exactly? Like a list of mobs that spawn in order, so you have to hunt them down and kill them in order to spawn the next on the list? A certain set of specific mobs, named and place holders, make up a cycle. You kill a placeholder and another spawns and eventually a named will pop. A good example is quillmane. There’s a certain cycle of placeholders you can find that will guarantee an eventual quillmane spawn. There’s simpler ones like hasten/brother z/grizzly bear etc in rathe mountains. rally fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Dec 20, 2021 |

koreban posted:DZ xp was so nice when you didn't want to stress about having your camp invaded or knew you'd need to stop for a few minutes to take a call, or make dinner or something. This sounds unrealistic. Mobs didn’t even respawn in DZs so was anyone actually exping in them or trying to “hold a camp”? Makes no sense.

DisgracelandUSA posted:Necro's can solo OW fear at 50 pretty well. Hate is a little trickier. I’d say the opposite. Fear is only particularly chill for necros if it’s semi clear. The social agro there gets bad quick whereas in hate you are just free to pull stuff and leash as desired.

onesixtwo posted:Necros can 100% solo pull mobs all over the zone to the wall in pof and will be through all of week one, especially late hours PST when most the groups farming it go to bed. OW PoF is never fully spawned when it is relevant for gear drops. If you haven’t spent time soloing there recently, this might seem far fetched but, yes, necros are actually that powerful in era. FD is a hell of a drug. As is zoning in an alt to take initial aggro, then just loading in behind it and running to a quiet corner. It’s seriously that easy. I spent like 2 solid months soloing and selling gear there as a necro on aradube. It’s doable but far from relaxed and you gonna die a number times while hate is quite a bit easier. That was really my point.

DisgracelandUSA posted:Each zone has a player threshold needed to spawn a new pick. each pick of the zone needs to be above that threshold. That's why you'll see two picks of commonlands but not to three. It doesn't really matter if you zone in all together or not afaik. City zones won't spawn multiple picks (so no neriak for the enc epic) and raid zones won't either (so no picking tov). Some zones have oddly low thresholds for spawning picks (East Wastes is 40 iirc). There's a 15 minute cooldown between switching picks. Pick system is great, but it's one of the pains in the rear end that motivates players using showeq, because it's hard to find open camps when there's a 15 minute pick timer. Huh? 5 mins not 15

I just hopped on. We could just jump into the hole and go from there . Nobody is ever camping poo poo from that side. OOT goblins are also primo xp but low loot and there are countless mobs. I’m ok with whatever and am more familiar with all the classic zones than I’d like.

Once you know the tricks in plane of hate it’s the softest end game zone ever. The red mobs have interesting aggro dynamics and leash really easily, and the dispelling chests also leash to their houses if you run away fast enough on aggro. I actually love clearing hate by myself and I love showing people all the little tricks there so I’m stoked to pop up there any time y’all want. It’s the zone I’ve spent by far the most time in. I won’t be around tonight but almost all this week I will.

So plane of hate open world is basically a hunger games setting where mobs are snatched as soon as they spawn (maybe by me lol). You could probably port up there and explore a bit with relative safety if you have eyes up. There are a couple places you might call “camps” that are conveniently out of roamed paths and are easy to pull certain mobs to. However mobs in hate leash with the greatest of ease and pulling long or medium distances across the zone can be quite frustrating. If you see people zoning into open world plane of fear they are probably just yoloing it since it’s usually fairly despawned. In fear your main “camps” are directly west of the zone in on the wall, the very northwest corner, and the middle of the south wall. Notice the trend here of staying on the walls. Even when fear is pretty clear there are certain mobs / areas that people won’t bother pulling because the mobs dispel or are pains in the asses and don’t drop much of anything. It’s very easy to gently caress up and chain aggro a handful of these mobs and ruin your evening. Bards have a little more leeway here with Selos but you run the chance of a stun or dispel killing you still. There is also the distinct possibility of dracolliche , ct, and the golems being up. This server is a lot more casual than past servers about keeping OW raid targets dead on spawn. If fright, dread, Draco, or ct is up you just need to be aware of their locations and stay tf away. Fear and hate are totally opposite zones almost. Hate is a near zero risk roam fest and fear can instafuck you if you don’t know where you are at any given time. Doing a DZ of hate is totally possible with my group of 3 I had last night. You’ll pull like 10 of any given high end gem and tons of plat from a Dz. I would never even consider zoning into full pop Dz fear with only 3 and certainly never without a monk and bard. For exp at your level solb royals will be awful. It’s pretty much bugs and bats / efreeti exp mobs (nobody pulls these but great exp), permafrost bear pit ( great exp, nobody will EVER be there doing pickup stuff ), the hole, OOT gobs, or hamlord for the slow slow slowest option. I won’t even recommend kedge cause kedge is kedge. rally fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Jul 4, 2022 |

Maybe if I’m able to park in one spot and someone else is willing to pull but in general nah. 90% of stuff I end up getting into my pet is tanking and I’m healing / CC / pulls. I think I did 30-50 in no melee groups lol. Those deep water inks are gonna be calling though.
