nwin posted:Ah good to know. I did thought I noticed that my necro pet was tanking a lot better than my ogre shaman. They actually fixed run speed earlier today, at least for my purposes. Ruined the whole quadding without sow or snare thing I had going on my 7 druid. Forgot to add about magicians/pet classes: pets take no experience if any group member(even solo) does at least 1 damage. This is accurate to live AK though!

a real jerk posted:NPCs as a whole are too strong at the moment compared to PCs; nearly always hit, usually for max or near max - so NPC vs NPC is a better matchup than letting your PC get his poo poo wrecked. Innate DS on fire pet is just the icing on the cake really. That actually explains a lot, I felt like my SK was way too squishy even when fighting light blues or greens. I thought it was because he was mostly naked. Also explains why my mage's fire pet seemed to destroy everything, I guess it's because he got hit every time. Is there a timeline when that bug will be fixed?

Are there any good resources to find info on quests and the like for this server? I'd like to be able to browse around and see what quests would be worth doing at my level.

Might try this out again after a few more patches. Spell gems graying out, group bugs, random disconnects make it a bit annoying.

Yeah I literally can't 3box at all yet. My 3rd box 100% disconnects on every zone change and my 2nd has a 50/50 chance as well. Haven't had a chance to see the other bugs yet because I get annoyed and stop trying within 15 minutes every time I log in

I really only had this bug if i zoned one toon, and swapped windows mid-zone to grab the other one.

Server seems to be going pretty good so far, stable and they fixed a lot of the group/zoning/chat bugs. Level 17 on my 3 characters right now. Who is still playing? They released a patch today that nerfed XP gain and Kithicor forest drops a lot, I think they are trying to battle the poopsockers, which is a pretty hopeless battle. There was some drop rate/respawn bug on a lot of high end items and people were PLing to 50 really fast. Right now the XP gain seems so slow it's almost bugged after the patch though, way slower than vanilla in some zones and faster in others. Hopefully they fix it in the next day or two.

I logged in for about an hour today and I'd say about 1/2 the mobs I killed I didn't get experience from. I assume due to being out of exp range.. but I was still in casting range while my pets tanked. Was pretty lame.

Experience was painfully slow as it was. I doubt I'll last much longer if they did lower it more. Between the 20+% of a level lost on every death, the constant dying due to freezing and disconnecting, the 20 minute corpse runs, and now lower xp per kill... there's way too much risk, and not enough reward.

I've lost over 25% of a level when dying on this server multiple times. I guess it's a bug, but it still completely robs you of any desire to play.

I think they fixed the death XP loss bug. And XP is better than it was yesterday too. Not sure about the XP range thing. It's been a lot of fun for me so far. Just need to get a higher server pop really.

Sweet thanks a lot for the update Pilsner, it works great on EQMac. There have been some significant improvements on the network side. And yeah, sometimes there are issues like the XP one. I am mildly concerned about Speedz being a little too quick to take offense, and/or ban, but the rest of the team is pretty levelheaded, so hopefully that will work itself out. Still only lvl 11 on my guys, I haven't had too much time to play.

Played pretty much flawlessly today. No lag or DC or group issues and the XP rate and XP loss both felt just fine. If you gave up give it a try again. Also there were 21 people in Unrest.and it became train town just like classic. Who else is still playing?

There's no official goon guild, although Armed & Hammered seems to be mostly goons. I'm in it and I know a couple of other goons are too (not sure of their forum names). Up to level 22 on all my guys now. Server still seems to be going strong, although doesn't seem like an economy has really started yet. I rarely see people auctioning items. Probably because pop is still relatively low enough you can just farm what you want.

Does anyone know if 3-boxing is a temporary thing, or whether that's just for testing? imo the best thing about Project 99 was the one box limit.

Nope that's the limit forever. It's tempered by the fact some of us have constant crashes on one or more boxes, so if you don't have 3 logged in, you spend most of your time not doing anything

Yeah, I agree. Juggling 3 characters in 3 windows makes most people too busy to talk in groups, if they are even inclined to respond to group requests in the first place. Just makes for a very anti-social experience where everyone is essentially soloing.

It's tough. I love being able to 3 box, just because I know that if I can't find a group (or don't have time) I can still get some poo poo done. On the other hand, it absolutely kills the social aspect of the game, which is arguably the best part of the game. I should just give up 3boxing for now and focus on one box. If I ever actually log on again... *If I log on again, would I be able to get into Armed and Hammered? Or is there some asperger set of prerequisites that I would need to meet first?* Actually having people to talk to, group with would go a long way to getting me back into this.

Honestly, they sound like a hardcore raiding guild, and I'd rather have the casual goon-friendly spergtastic experience like we had on Live a few years ago during the Great Goon Rush ( I think I was the only nonboxer in the guild, and one of the only druids) If you guys wanna get together and all get online to form <what> then I would be totally down. A sidenote, dracnier and I both hit mid 20s this weekend during some super fun Upper Guk dungeoneering and are getting closer to item-farm mode.  Honestly, it's like 1999 all over again =).

So how is the state of the xp issues I've read about? I've been kicking around the idea of trying this out for a while, but I'm already going to have a hefty learning curve from being so used to the modern ease of EQ in general. Not sure I could handle the combination of that and any significant buggy headaches.

XP is fine. Dompy and I shelved it for now due to just general issues with pathing/combat. Had one too many wipes in Runnyeye or Solusek's Eye to mobs we couldn't see or target. I hope in a few months a lot of the serverside issues are ironed out. I think our corpses decayed by now.. Anyone know why they can't just take the PEQ Emu database and make it impossible to go to zones beyond PoP and remove GoD/etc AA's, augments and so on? I'm playing on a progression server right now (Imperium) that does a similar thing. Seems like it'd be easier than recreating everything from scratch.

They could. I think their reason is because they wanted it to work with the oldass (lovely) Mac client and PEQ won't work with it. Not sure though

AK live was pretty much the victory lap for me on EQ. I think my Q days are behind me, it was great to play it as it evolved from vanilla on, but that is a long time ago. 'They say' that the endgame mobs are broken except for Phinny, at least thats what they are saying over at rerolled. Hope to hear that they get this beta worked out and I'll be checking on it from time to time.

Naggy and Vox are both broken... everything is broken in some odd way. I'm curious how long it will take them to get everything in order, if ever. Definitely something to keep an eye on, but lots of other EQ Emu options to play on besides this or P99.
