Hit 29 over the weekend and got my teleport spells, already made a few hundred plat easy just running around meeting up with people and teleporting them to different places. Now I gotta grind to 34 so I get even more spells  Kalaxus posted:I managed to grind my way to 7 in Nek Forest but am now stuck with mobs that barely give any xp and mobs that are so strong they require HT to even have a shot of soloing. Back in 1999, I smuggled myself out to Crushbone for these levels with my SK not realising just how many damned warrior faction DEs there are scattered around Neriak. The pyramid and monoliths in nek forest spawn way too many mummies, and fighting the zombies is like 20% chance of victory with HT and even if I win disease increases downtime by around 5x or so it seems. Guess I have to look into those guilds you all been mentioning to level up If you see me online and need some help send me a tell and I'll come powerlevel you for a few levels. Especially at night if I'm drunk sometimes I'd rather just run around power leveling some newbie rather than get my rear end killed trying to level anyhow. But yeah I'd head to EC at that point rather than try to grind in Nektulos forever. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Aug 31, 2015 |

Summit posted:Started a human SK — some very interesting faction problems with that combination. You start out with all factions of Qeynos on the cusp of hating you. Already walked into a few buildings and had some random NPC beat my face in. Pretty sure I can't do the Gnoll Fang quest until I'm ready to leave the area as I'm already dubious with every guard and I'll be threatening with corrupts after just a few turn ins. Yeah, in some ways it'd be easier to be a dark elf or troll or ogre SK instead, at least then your faction would be more obvious. But human SK has its advantages too.

Summit posted:Ogre or Iksar would be the best choice but I went with Human to see a different side of things. I was curious about the challenge of being a 'good' race but a bad class. I've also never seen much of the Qeynos side of the continent. Freeport would be more ideal leveling for sure and I'll probably head over there eventually, but it was not an option (probably because I went with Bertox as a religion). So far I'm not regretting the choice, even if it's slower. It's very immersive to be concerned about faction. I'm checking around corners constantly and of course I have to go into the sewers to train/sell for max value. Feels like being a real evil dude rather than just another Ogre in Ogretown. So far I've run into two NPCs that were KOS, one in a sewing shop who must have been upstairs from the entrance. The other was a Barbarian in the bar near the docks. Not sure what faction they are on since I am able to walk around freely past the guards and merchants otherwise. Yeah as long as you know what you're getting into that could be a fun twist. I've been thinking about making an erudite necro or something like that myself, since I've seen so little of that side of things. Paineel has to be the least traveled city in the game. Back in live I played a dark elf enchanter, it was fun because as long as you're agnostic you can illusion yourself and cast alliance and get past most of the downside of being an evil race, but then you could go home to Neriak and chill with the other evil elves. Course if you're a good enchanter you can just cast illusion dark elf

Thinking about rolling a melee class to get a break from druid here and there, decided on SK, agonizing over race choice. I really don't want to be a Ogre or Troll. They're hideously ugly and they're huge. But drat, it seems like they're the way to go because of slam. That seems really good? Without it you've gotta wear a shield and bash, but 2h weapons seem pretty great. Then Troll also has regen, which is huge. But that xp penalty hurts so bad on top of SK. I think I've narrowed it down to Dark elf or Iksar, both sound like fun. Iksar's got the health regen but more exp penalty. Hm. Is making an SK without slam a huge mistake? Dirt posted:More new rules! : I am all for this, but what about "its classic!" ?  Its been said before, but the devs are all for bending the rules on classic when it comes to loving people over, just not when it comes to helping people. Still I can't afford epic twinks so I'm cool with nobody else getting them either.

Pillow Armadillo posted:If you roll Iksar, I can craft you cultural armor (lol Banded armor) or do the Dreadscale armor quests to help you get started. I really like dark elves and I grew up in Neriak back in the real 1999, but I haven't played much Iksar at all so maybe I should try that out. I'm down for new experiences. The exp penalty hurts pretty bad, but the regen is nice and at least the SK penalty should be going away before too long... This'll just be an alt for variety here and there though, so I may not be playing enough to be worth you going way out of your way to help me do quests or whatever. Still, I appreciate it and may take you up on that. I've got a few items in my bank that should help starting out as SK easier, like a sarnak emblazened tabard and a decent 2h sword, some okay armor pieces here and there.

Oh god, who designed Cabilis? This is my first time really exploring it in detail and I can't loving handle all these awful ladders. They even created a nice slanted-ladder model which is super easy to climb but for some reason they still use straight-up ladders all over the place, many of which seem to require you to make a jumping leap off the top to reach the next level? (  )I may seriously go back to dark elf just to get out of this loving city. What am I doing wrong? How do I loving climb a ladder? lol. E: Downloaded WinEQ2 and now I can actually climb the ladders, must have been some bug with my CPU running too fast or something. Still, its gone from "literally impossible" to "extremely frustrating", its still tricky to jump off the ladders. And the city is full of froglok slaves that agro? What the hell? Maybe I'll say 'gently caress min-maxing' and just play the dark elf. Playing on WinEQ2 also seems to make the game kinda choppy. E2: Okay wow, that health regen is pretty insane. Maybe I'll stick with it a bit. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Sep 1, 2015 |

Oh nice, yeah I've noticed the alt-tab dropping me like a stone when levitating and was wondering what that was about. Also I've seen my HP and MP go up and down back and forth which was really confusing.

megalodong posted:In ffxi you could speed hack (and get banned by accident) if your cpu was overclocked. It just seems to be a thing from games in that era. I had that happen in EQ back in live actually. On accident once while playing with an overclocked machine back in like 2000 suddenly the whole game was really really fast. Like I would hit auto-attack and then instantly 30 rounds of combat text would pop up all at once. I would start running and move faster than if I had a sow than if I didn't. I put in a /petition about it and then went running around EC at lightspeed. By the time the GM responded I kinda regretted putting in a ticket because it was helping me level faster, but he told me I had to log out and restart the game, which fixed it. Oh well, fun stuff!

Another funky but good class/race combo, Halfling warrior can be surprisingly good. You can use the sneak to pull like a rogue. Now what about especially terrible class/race combos that you'd only play by accident or as a challenge? Erudite Paladin is a good one, I would imagine Gnome and Wood Elf warrior is pretty rough, Human casters seem to have pretty bad starting stats. Hahaha, just stumbled across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFXUYl2ljqI now I want to roll a dwarf.

Pilsner posted:That's a pretty cool idea. I'm thinking I could quickly flash a line from the old to the new point, if the distance is longer than a reasonable amount of pixels. I'll put it on the todo list. While we're talking "nice to have" features, if you could have a "breadcrumb mode" where it'd keep a history of your past locs, possibly as different colored dots, would be super useful. Especially if you could draw a line between them so you had a rough version of your path. It'd also be nice if you could automatically detect "LOADING, PLEASE WAIT" that isn't followed by "You have entered <zone>" so you can tell the player died, and then if they do a /loc rather than deleting the old loc, keep it on the map as a "corpse waypoint". (Well, I guess if you weren't bound in-zone it'd be followed by a zone switch so it'd be hard to parse deaths from the log, hm.) Well, does it just log "you have died" ? That'd be easy. Good bit of work to implement though, and I don't know how far you can go before 1999 thinks its cheating. Catching a /loc before you die should be fair game though.

Niedar posted:I spent like 30 minutes coming up with this. Yeah dude that's pretty awesome. If you could configure how "long" the trail was that'd be pretty sweet. What happens if you die or zone out, does it clear the trail history? Mercury_Storm posted:In the original game I figured out how to do this on my own and it was pretty awesome. Then later they patched it so that Bard point-blank damage-over-time songs did ZERO damage if the monster affected was moving at all. ZERO. Game was pretty much dead to me at that point. Yes on P1999 DOTs will do like half damage if the mob is moving when they tick.

Niedar posted:Yeah, setting the length of the trail is probably better than the number of points and is something I can change with a little more effort. As for clearing the trail history on zone out, it doesn't right now but would only take a minute to add. Can you tell me if there is a message logged when you die? I don't have a client set up to run right now so I can not test it to find out. If there is I can look at adding clearing the trail on death and also put a marker on the map when you die with the last loc you were at. Yeah putting an automatic marker when you die would be legit super useful. If I'm smart enough I hit /loc but then I've gotta figure out where on the map that is manually after I spawn, having a marker would be super convenient. Looks like "you have been slain" is the key phrase you'd look for, and I guess just grab the most recent /loc before that ideally.

Enc is easily one of the most if not the most fun class to play in the game. It doesn't seem so when you're comparing it to like necro or mag or whatever when you're first learning about the classes, but the reality is enc is pretty amazing.

Eerkik posted:My phone died while replying last night and I fell asleep at the login screen ha. I'm a hooman shadow knight Be aware that for now SK has a 40% exp penalty, which loving hurts. And Its much easier going if you can twink yourself with good gear. I'd advise playing a Shaman, Enchanter, Druid, Cleric, Necromancer or Magician as your first major character. Way easier and way more fun the first time through. I personally love the flavor of a magician, and they're pretty fun to play and not too hard. You can solo good or group okay. Necros are kinda the same thing but better, but they're also a bit more complicated. Wizard and Warrior are the least fun classes in the game and should be avoided at all costs. Lots of goons on Red, but Red is the PvP server where you'll get ganked with no warning from twinks, so... gently caress that noise.

Erdricks posted:I have only played on red so far - how busy are good camps on blue? Very busy; its why I play on blue but it also sometimes sucks. All the major obvious named camps are camped pretty drat often, which when you're trying to find a group is pretty sweet (if they aren't full) but if you're doing some solo camp for money can kinda suck. All the raid bosses are obviously camped 24/7 and have a schedule and poo poo, any rare spawn mobs are pretty often camped unless they're low level or whatever. But there's still some good spawns that most people don't seem to even know about, so its hit or miss for what's camped all the time. Still, for me playing EQ is all about playing with other people, the fact that blue has such a healthy population is why I'm playing 1999 much less blue. Red's xp bonus is obviously great but I can't imagine dealing with gankers and stuff. I just want to chill with people in camps and talk about random poo poo while medding and then pull some crap and blow it up for awhile without a care in the world* *Other than the occasional train in some zones

I've gotten way farther than I ever did as a dumb kid messing around on my friend's eMachine. Right on dude, you should join the goon guild if you can make your way to EC at some point, if only to talk about stupid poo poo with us and pass the time. And kind goons will throw you free pp to get started. HoboTech posted:I have some questions though: 1. No, that's pretty slow exp, especially at that level. But EQ is the kind of game where subtle changes in how you play can make a huge difference, I've spent all night grinding out one level over hours and hours and then managed to get several levels the next day in much less time, things like that. It can matter if you're dying, if you find a good group, if you know a good camp spot, stuff like that. Also being aware of quests is pretty huge. 2. Shamans aren't really bad AFAIK but they really out-class Druids at like... 30-40? Not for awhile. But you should be still pretty good at low level. 3. Keep your eye out for any of this gear you can get for cheap: http://wiki.project1999.com/Players:Pre_Planar_Gear#Shaman When in doubt, consult the wiki. Its not completely up-to-date but its better than anything else out there when it comes to p1999 reference. Banded armor is crafted so if you go to EC tunnel you are guaranteed to have somebody willing to sell you some or make you some and sell it to you. Its pretty cheap, people usually charge pp equal to the amount of AC you're getting. Its not as good as armor with +stats but its better than nothing, especially for low-level melee. http://wiki.project1999.com/Banded_Armor_Set Leather works but its also crappy, you should get banded or honestly better than banded pretty much ASAP. Join the goon guild, we'll give you a few hundred PP for free and you can go shopping.  tyler is a joke posted:Hey friends.

Yeah, I grouped in Oasis back in the day but mostly because that's where people were to group with and I didn't know any better. I have yet to kill a single mob in Oasis in 1999 I think, definitely haven't camped there. There's so many other options that work better. You are leaving out Lockjaw who drops some okay loot, and the spectres which are fun mobs at higher level, but yeah.

HoboTech posted:Awesome, thanks for the info. I'll try to hit 17 after work and then make the run to EC to see who's around. Should I just start shouting to see who's a goon? I'd love to have people to shoot the poo poo with while camping, and the last person I interacted with tried to do erotic roleplay with me. That kind of scared me off from being social for a while. Yeah like Dirt said there's not enough of us to shout, use /who all to find some goons until you're in the guild. That said, half the goons on blue have chars in other guilds for raiding or what have you. There's not a lot of us but those who are around are chill and will seriously help you out. And don't be dismayed, if you're cool with grinding out levels just enjoy the journey, there's no rush to hit the level cap. And if anything that should give you some optimism, you could figure out some new tricks and level even faster. For most people the length of the grind is pretty daunting so knowing that you don't have to spend THAT much time should be a good thing, haha. The levels definitely slow down the higher you get too, and hell levels take loving forever. I don't exactly keep spreadsheets of my time spent playing vs exp gained though so maybe I'm just estimating bad. There's hours where I get no exp or barely any (Trading, running around, questing, buffing newbies while drunk) but if I'm seriously soloing or camping I'd like to think its a bit faster than that. Not like 10x or anything though.

What are my options for taking care of loot here? The boat ride is long, and ports will only get me to Dreadlands, which may as well be the rear end end of nowhere relative to the Overthere. FV is probably your best bet really. You can invis, so as long as you watch skeletons and use levitate and sow it shouldn't be too dangerous. Go from WW to LoIo to FV. There's probably some neutral NPC vendor in a nearby zone I don't know about though, I'm no expert on Kunark.

Yeah I've posted about that phenomenon before. I think its actually more of an issue of using the modern client with P1999 servers, the client expects different values so its constantly being corrected by the P1999 values. In theory the P1999 modified files should account for that, but it doesn't seem to work out most of the time. Its not simply that sometimes you're sitting when the client calculates and then you stand up and then the server gets the wrong value, if anything that'd probably happen backwards because the client would have more up-to-date information, so you'd have a scenario where you're standing and then you sit down right as it ticks, and the client calculates a full med tick since you're sitting but the server didn't yet get the sitting update packet so it calculates standing mana and then finds out you sit down after, and then corrects the client on how much mana was gained. It could be a lot of things really, but whatever the cause its definitely a bit messy.

Kalaxus posted:I spent all day yesterday doing Necromancer Skullcap Apprentice 1 and 2, how badly did I waste my time? looking ahead in 8 more levels if I grind up 2 crafting skills I currently have 0 in and find some lore drops I can get a +2 Int hat at level 14ish, need a guide on which quests are complete waste of time, which are must dos and which are quirky interesting side fun with no real reward. Honest answer: pretty big waste of time (though honestly so is literally everything in this videogame, so if you had fun doing the quest who gives a gently caress) Edit: well, the Cabilis quests can have good results later on, and I think you have to do each step of the quest before you can do the next, so maybe not such a waste of time in the long run Course you could always do it later when you one-shot all these low level mobs.Join the guild, beg for us to give you a few hundred PP, then you can buy gear that gives you much more than just +2 int. Then focus on just getting more XP, if anything casters are far less gear dependent than melee. Save most of your plat for new spells, they'll give you huge bang for your buck. Always buy your new spells, and as long as you can afford them don't sweat it. If you can get up to like level 15 you can start making some serious pp off bronze weapons on aviaks or sisters. If you can get up to more like 30 then you have way more options and you'll be making way more money. The amount of money you can make is directly correlated with your level, so if you're a low level caster just focus on getting levels. Meanwhile if you're melee, re-roll a caster, get several levels, earn money, twink your melee, and then go back to leveling melee I wouldn't even really bother getting gear that isn't in this list: http://wiki.project1999.com/Players:Pre_Planar_Gear#Necromancer For the most part just focus on getting levels, as boring as that is.

They're making a hardcore pvp server  I'll stick with blue thank you very much.quote:We are also overdue to enable the January 2001 era on all servers. This will include changes to root/snare stacking, removal of the Class XP penalties + group shared XP modifications, and more. We are able to enable these eras while the server is running, but we identified some issues that will require a patch before we turn it on. This will be happening this week or weekend.  This bodes well for my Iksar SK.

Ashenden posted:I thought I had more time on my shaman before my monk would start leveling 24% faster. Now what?! Also what level is your SK? 5 lol, I just made him. Didn't feel like leveling too much with that 68% exp penalty  Now its just gonna be 20%, that's much much less horrible. Dirt posted:Also that hard core pvp server sounds absolutely retarded. Seriously. "You know what Everquest needs? PERMADEATH." Said nobody in the history of loving ever. It'd be stupid even if it was PvE, but with PvP its double stupid. Now you grind for hours to level 20 until some level 60 gank squad rolls through and whoops, you're dead for good, start over.

Eerkik posted:I've thoigh a lot about re rolling a magician but it's hard to justify with the amount of effort went into learning qeynos to the point that I can navigate myself from the gates of north qeynos to my class trainer semi reliably (i still get lost though, but I have a vague idea of where to go and know that I'm close when I hit the tent square ) Yeah I love exploring in everquest. But that's all the more reason to create a new character! You can learn a new city. Finding your way to a new class trainer won't be that hard, and you can ask us to show you around if you like. IMO Qeynos and Freeport are the most confusing and stupid cities, although they do give you that "big bustling human city" feel. Cities I think are really cool: Neriak, Kelethin, Felwithe, Erudin, Highpass Cities that are okay: Cabilis, Rivervale, Halas, Qeynos Kefit posted:I just hit level 30 and oh god it's my first hell level. Killing a mob and seeing your exp % tick up by half of what you were expecting sure is demoralizing. Good thing there's a double xp bonus coming up eh? Plow through that hell level. But I'm right there with you, I'm 30 and I'm finally about to ding 31 after grinding forever. Ramulack posted:Last night I completed my epic! loving grats dude! I've never done any epic quests. Doing one on P99 would feel like a huge accomplishment.

retpocileh posted:I'd rather level in the old world instead of Kunark. My iksar necro is level 7, is there any reason I couldn't just buy spells for the next couple levels and peace out? Is there any reason that I need to stick close to my trainers from this point on? Not that I can think of. There's the kunark specific class quests but they're not really that important. That's the only thing you'd HAVE to go to cabilis for. There's necromancer trainers and vendors in old world, although you're going to have problems buying or training at them. If you can stock up on spells now or get other people to buy them for you then there'll be very little issue. At that point all you'd need would be to train new skills, but you've already got meditate so the next thing I can think of is specialization at 20. Oh, spell research, you should grab a book of dark bindings in cabilis and throw it in the bank for later. Banking in general will be a challenge as an Iksar though.

Ashenden posted:People have talked about something I am a little foggy on, I think turning in bone chips in the sewers of Freeport to let your Iksar Necromancer train and vendor there? Almost all factions in EQ have people you can kill or quests you can do to change your faction standing. I don't know the quest you're referring to but there's lots of bone chips quests, probably hand in some bone chips to get more reputation. You're going to need a LOT of them to get an iksar from hated to "you can buy our goods now" though, is the thing. And you have to be careful because raising one freeport faction won't help the others, so you might be cool with the guards but then the paladins are still KOS to you, you feel safe but then some guy comes running out of a building to kill you. The same applies all over the place, items like that which you can turn in to improve faction are very popular, left gnoll ears improve your highpass and qeynos faction so people buy those all the time, etc. If you don't have a ton of money to blow you probably won't be able to get your faction to change significantly. The other trick is that in order to be able to even do the quest you have to not be KOS already. The sewers people might be cool enough with you already, but probably not. So then you'd need like wolf form or skeleton illusion to be able to talk to them, turn in the bone chips, and then get them to talk to you normal. As a necro though you can just skeleton illusion and most evil races will trade with you as-is, I'm pretty sure.

torp0r posted:Does anyone have good experience/perspective on the raiding game on p99(Blue)? I am interested in trying. I understand the old class rules and have read opinions on both sides, but it's hard to get a sense of what the actual average required weekly time commitment is of what would previously be called R vs C. I know this is going to vary based on which guild, but yeah if someone has experience and can quantify effort that would be super useful information. I haven't done EQ raiding ever, but the impression I get is that its highly dependent upon the guild. Some guilds are more casual and throw loot around, while others have strict DKP and you'll never earn enough to out-bid the poopsockers in the guild who take everything. So you'd have to do some research into the current blue guilds more than anything. HTH.

FINALLY got my IP exemption! For those asking about it, it will happen, be patient. I think it took me a whole month to get a reply, but then it went through smoothly.Siets posted:http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?s=adf61788539a0c803df4757c317a3bc4&t=210959 I am so down for any kind of goon roll shenanigans. Rolling Trolls on Discord actually sounds kinda fun, but I'd probably quit playing after a couple deaths. We should pick like a certain day / time of the week and all roll chars together and have a slow leveling party going or something. Eh, then again I've been pretty busy lately, haven't gotten in as much EQ. I Love You! posted:If people are interested I could attempt to put the goon guild back together for the Discord server. I used to run the guild over on Red and did a pretty good job of it until my computer blew up and I disappeared for a long time. Yeah because of the nature of Discord I think an IRC channel would work better than trying to form a guild in-game.
