Possibly we were just young and bad, but when I remember EQ being hard, I want to say we didn't have: Super relaxed AC/ATK tables Reagent free symbols Monk fist changes Spell reworks (almost always to the upside) Potions I'm not convinced the resists are materially different, but maybe? I...

In some ways it's less hardcore than a classic launch. In classic you can probably reasonably hit 50 without sleeping if you go hard enough. For a 60 launch that's really out of the window and becomes more of a marathon than a sprint. I think going no sleep night one is a mistake unless you're...

My friend who's been complaining endlessly about the pugs is also only 40 or so - possibly he's playing with a different slice of the playerbase than the guys that are already 60 at this point. He usually goes pretty hardcore, but work situation doesn't allow for it this go. Maybe more of a...

I have heard anecdotally from people pugging that it's tough sledding out there.

Fortunately we just have the tank as a decorative carry. Pets are the tank 100% wouldn't have mana to heal a player tank in rags on these Chardok names.

We dodged the main routes which was pretty low stress and not too super slow all things considered. Me and another guy both boxing 3 ended up 47 through last night with fairly reasonable sleep between. Route biases for druid charmable animals where it makes sense. 1-2 Paineel (great and tons of...

Yeah, I don't see myself using the persona for anything other than teleporting around, but that alone is pretty handy. Opens up some different leveling paths, and will have on those accounts forever. I think in general I'd prefer every leveled toon I have to be on a different account so I can...

Looks cool. Sort of like Naggys lair but with more depth.

I've always enjoyed pulling, personally. Probably my favorite part of the game. If your group comp isn't dogshit, a good puller probably has a higher impact on the group's XP rate then anything else. It's also super active. Being a passenger is sort of a snoozer.

I think it's possible Teek is the highest population TLP of all time. That's my early read just based on the # of guilds recruiting and the # of people in the Faceless discord. It's been a while since I've seen the top raiding guild on the server be 'groomed'. Sazzabi is there, we'll be fine.

Whats up mate?? You rolling on these?

Think I'm in the super minority here, but I really can't get into the random loot aspect of Mischief. No trade is cool, but for me the random loot takes away a bit from the identity of the raids and the game. Will probably still play. Not sure that I have the time or patience for Tormax at this...

Mistmoore and trains is like the most classic experience ever.

Kunark really is pain. Very worth skipping.

I've been listening to a lot of these during my drives into work. Zaide mostly lets his guests do their thing which is well done imo. Having played on a lot of these servers, pre Zaide, and with or against, I've really enjoyed the insider perspectives. A lot harder for me to get into eps on...

I'm sure it's always been this bad, but jesus the mana and/or regen on these low level casters is insane. I just had a level 7 necro neophyte cast life tap on me literally 19 times in a fight. I ended up just zoning it because i went oom on both of my casters and couldn't dent its hp with my lvl...

Docks vs undead would be a bit different esp as you near 50. I think only thing 50ish in docks is the golem, which has mega hp. Lot of elementals there, which are lower. Undead are about same level as golems but are a bit less beefy. I think those skeletons in the gy are a little lower, like 45...

Looks like someone is trying to manipulate the Krono prices. Everything for sale on the Baz just cleared out (at price ~400k) and is all relisted at 800k or 795. A few people popped barters up at 650k. I assume they'll just turn off the barter if anyone gets near the buyer.

Do the LOY zones like Dulak's and Gunthak have a high ZEM or something? Surprised to see people advertising for groups there so frequently.

If they just stuck to the script and truncated books 6-10 into 2 seasons or so, this show would have been a slam dunk. Even if the casting, directing, writing was bumpy, the source material is strong enough and fan base large enough that it wouldn't have taken much to keep it on the tracks...

Unrest always drives me crazy. Long spawn times make it very easy to run out of mobs and there's really one one camp per level range (maybe yard can be split up). Sol A and UGuk just have way higher hit rates for me in terms of not being a complete waste of time.

Befallen basement is really good xp in the mid-high teens for sure.

Dunno I actually think we actually had more people on for Time last night than we did pre Mischief launch the week before. Was faster and smoother too. Off hours seem pretty thin atm, but raids and bat phones aren't feeling any different yet. I think the mutiny played out much more in the forums...

Dunno, look at emulators. How many of those 'loot rains from every oriface' servers are high pop? Getting decked removes the carot.

That one drop looks out of era. Was it all the way back on combine when classic gear from revamped zones was still on tlp? I remember lavastorm specifically had a few drops that were super nice.

Is Fippy darkpaw a rare?

Correct a lot of mobs will rat you out. Not sure what the rhyme or reason is, but pick pocketing in group play isn't that feasible. You can try to do it in HGs and stuff but in my experience between fails and how fast they die its not really worthwhile. Now trolling raids by pickpocking fear...

Rogue feels so so bad on classic motm mobs. Like 7-15 dmg on auto attacks and 55dmg backstabs bad.

Rogue on a fresh server, basically you're not gonna get groups, esp over level 15-20 or so, unless you have pre-made.

Rogue gets asked to be main assist a lot. Can be a tough role if you need to ninja afk every so often.

I will say that one of the biggest drawbacks to the zerg guild is the administrative burden, which is absolutely crushed by skynet.

TEB exhibited the same pros and cons of most top OW guilds that came in TLPs past. Approximately as clean, motivated, probably more organized than any that I've been in. All of these guilds had a tail of bads, they need to. All the non-ow guilds cry about the zerg recruiting. All had cliques...

I've generally had a really good time on Aradune, and in TEB for that matter. There's definitely a mix of good and not so good players and sometimes skynet sets up a particularly brutal raid, but the raiding from my experience has been extremely chill. I don't envy having to plan for the long...

Ya IIRC from way back when that the signet of command for tacvi couldn't be traded on FV. I want to same same with Anguish? I vaguely remember having to help get people keyed for that.

maybe i'm crazy, but i always liked having to go to various zones to camp stuff (to what extent that's even possible in tlp's anymore). ssra to do the bard clicky, or mistmoore for hbc or seb for fungi etc. totally unplugging the loot from the zone makes this entire thing sounds like PoE or...

Justices new pickups look solid. Mag and Assassin both are nuts.

Ga9a/monkk on chengdu look nasty. This is shaping up to be by far the best year yet for OWL.

Bonus XP probably has a ton of people leveling right now.

Would it really be so bad if they just equalized the zems, say to the level of the highest available zem at that level range? There are plenty of places I'd level at if the xp was better. Density, loot etc are a factor, but that is more organic than a natural zem boost. I also loved hot zones...

Yup, like two weeks in
