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...
