I'm stuck on Inku'ta. I can get past the part where you hail four crazy Nihil with three characters, but next comes the Cursecaller event. You think their death touches are weak because of how old the expansion is? Haha, no. They melee proc for over 50k. You die instantly. You get rooted and snared with huge amounts of counters. It's a loving nightmare to box, I don't know if its impossible.

Paladin, shaman, bard is my group. If you fail the event, you get locked out, so you can't try again for another three days. It's loving awful. The only silver lining is that the six named cursecallers have very low hit points, even for that expansion. But I don't know if I will ever complete BiC because of Inku'ta.

My only guess is to get two rangers, one on each side, and have them disc and shoot the gently caress out of their assigned Cursecallers before the deathtouch train comes rolling by. But what two loving rangers are going to want to go to Inku'ta to do that?

I remember this event as current content.

gently caress that expansion and everyone dying about 30 times each on that horseshit encounter. :suicide:

Can PL you to 85 in no time or gently caress around in old raids / epics whatever

I'd love this for my 80 paladin and 70ish mage :v:

Don't need plat, just want 85 to finish my little crew and going Ranger/Paladin/Mage is horribly inefficient.

Neato now my little poo poo army has max aa for their level.

2/3 of my 85s have rear end gear though. Anyone have some testcopied poo poo for an 85 paladin/mage? Looks like the old harpies bank got cleaned the hell out.

Is Frostcrypt acceptable for Slay Undead at 85? Seeing some say Feerott works too. I want to try get my paladin a few levels towards 90 before inevitable burnout.

I'd be running a poo poo composition (Paladin + healer merc, Ranger + wizard merc), probably maining the ranger for most dps because I don't have an easy way to get a bard/shaman to 85.

If i'm gonna go with paladin + ranger and mercs, I'm really thinking a 3rd account would best be served by a bard, right?

On that note, at what level do spells stop getting sold in pok and become a pain in the rear end to get?

With the goons that drop in and out of test there's no real reason to play live unless you want to give SOE a sub.

Roost was some of the most fun I had in EQ when we were actually active. Ryantear :allears:

And watching Kodaji wipe on my mage 2.0 fight in NC because it's got some of the shittiest mechanics ever was memorable, if not terrible for all involved.

Gnonotmybutt was the premiere troll. No other troll in the history of the internet can measure up to The Butt Doctor. I wouldn't even screenshot it, because nobody who wasn't there can ever know just how amazing it was. He got the entire server up in arms against one another every time he spoke. This wasn't WoW-esque basic trolling designed to trivially get people arguing, it was all brilliant. I can't hope to recapture the magic now.

I'll seriously type up Ryantear in parts later, because it really is hilarious and it's the kind of hilarious that goes well in a thread

I couldn't find Butt Doctor screenshots. But, like Kodaji says, it's really, really hard to put it into words. This was trolling beyond any level of goon rush trolling I've ever seen in an MMO. This dude was just pure amazing :allears:

And I believe he did it without ever, ever using a curse word too.

I remember Fearboners :3: I was zapzan the mage and jhelora the ranger :v:

I still prefer alt tabbing over isboxer after so many years of doing it, but I also hate boxing entirely so the two might be related.

Does anyone have any real info on Miragul for the Fiery Avenger? Alla is all over the place with 7 days, 3 days, 6 hours, PHs! No PHs!

I killed him last year when I got my paladin his epic. He doesn't have a PH, I just don't remember his spawn time. I just camped my paladin there and checked his spawn every few hours for about 3 days and got him.

I miss the days of the VCC. That thread was great. Packed to the rafters with people registering on the forums just to call bullshit. But more importantly, who were you on Vazaelle? I started on Vaz 5 days after it opened and just recently transferred off, after 14 years...bittersweet.

I was Jhelora on Vazaelle, spent a bit of time with Agony and then EoTD until they died. Ophidion is the reason I bought an SA account. Really miss the EOTD days. I started on Vaz in 2001, right before i finished high school.

holy poo poo that's a long time ago.

Was in Triality for like the first 3 months of their existence on my Wizard but didn't really have the time to contribute.

What the heck are the mechanics of blind? Stops them from targeting abilities? Does it break when people are close and does that count pets?

Xorbb1 minotaur casts stuff which you apparently you can interrupt by hiding behind stuff. He is susceptible to blind so I figure you can just blind him instead of hiding. We pet tank him on the platform and have paladin constantly blinding him but he says it wears off within seconds.

Does blind even do anything for NPCs? I remember blind spells landing on me would just turn my monitor black and hide everything, UI included.

Anyone having problems with right-clicks being interpreted as double right-clicks since the patch? For example, I right-click a tradeskill container, and the tradeskill window flashes quickly and closes. Same when inspecting vendor items. Maybe it's my mouse...

There isn't one anymore. We just use the serverwide chat now pretty much. The only places I know of more than one goon are Test and Xegony, but even on those 2 servers there's no real active goons at the moment who aren't in raid guilds.


/join serverwide.gchat:fygm

To set the game to automatically join the channel upon login, type:

/autojoin serverwide.gchat:fygm (to autojoin multiple chat channels, type several channel names, comma-separated)

what kind of committment is the test raid guild anyway?

If I can find a somewhat painless way to get Zapzan or Jhelora to 100, I'd raid for a while and DPS while not dying to dumb poo poo like a pubbie. Probably prefer Jhelora (rangger) unless the mage offers some crazy utility, especially since my Paladin is a no go.

Cool, I'll just start logging in and figuring out how to do the grind to 100!
