    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    % caster damage is also overhaste, so that's a mandatory anyway. Will aa's, all bard stuff hits pets, so that's also not a concern, and if he drops BST, he'll have no slow. Monk is good, but some fights with unresistable PB stuff will eat you up a bit (AHR comes to mind), but honestly, you'll be...

    I think you guys would tear any content in half with that setup.

    EQ2002: The Better Planes of Power - PoP-Locked, Single Box EQ

    I can't tell if this is a log issue or an actual game issue, but most of the low level stuff that I'm fighting seems to have 100% accuracy. I haven't seen any misses yet.

    EQ2002: The Better Planes of Power - PoP-Locked, Single Box EQ

    I think TAKP would have been better off as a 1 box outlay; the controls are a pain, but they're made worse by how much more challenging it is to box there. That said, I liked playing Al'Kabor a lot, but I think the effort was justified because it was what you needed to do to play on a classic...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Theoretically, it could be as easy as changing the account_id on the character table to point towards your account_id of the different account. If you created some dummy char on this separate account, you could do a lookup on the character name to find out that account_id, and just do an update...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    It was salvaged back to early September, iirc. Got AHR down with my boxes. 2 blobs was harder by far. I don't think I'll bother clearing VT again; shame as the keys took forever.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Dad experience here is pretty great. Leveling new toons here once you already have 65's is also really easy. They let you pass all of your quest achievement to a new toon once per account, and you can get extended duration level 65 buffs on level 1 characters if you're grouped with a 65. I've...

    NL is running great. About 30 online and I think it's more smooth than it was under Sail's hosting. Able to swarm the balls out of Droga - doing numbers that would have otherwise crashed my machine.

    Yeah, unfortunately QP is really only good for practicing very basic mechanics. It's really difficult to develop and legit game sense, positioning or higher level habits in QP because you have no cohesive lines/play. I think it causes more bad habits than its worth, but it can be a good warm up.

    I was looking forward to nolifing this entire weekend. Feels bad, man. Thoughts on my personal custom server: Items 35% more powerful on all primary stats. Weapons 35% more damage, 20% less delay Going to boost PC spell damage by some % as well. Lessening Mobs HP/AC/Resists/Accuracy by a...

    Oh, no prob. You missed the gravy train after you left. Once I hit 44, could group with wizard and own all faces. Paladin is 65 now :D I'm making my own custom server hosted on my laptop for shits and giggles. Just going to uniformly buff all items and weaken mobs similar to NL. Seems pretty...

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    I definitely just duo'd Vyemm in TOV with War/Monk only using healing pots, and they're only in Velious gear. (Third box got shot into the lava when the fight started :/) Now, I have max AA's and the ability to use glyphs pretty liberally, but yeah.

    Yeah, sky took me like 5 hours, I got zero loot, and then Sirran wouldn't spawn. A GM ended up making me the key, so I help people with it whenever I can.

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    I liked the progression stuff overall, but I thought EOV and the planar requirements were a little annoying. Most of the other requirements are things you more or less would have done anyway; those ones took forever and took you real far afield of what you would otherwise be doing. Especially...

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    The tuning curve on NL is really well done. I'm not even sure how intentional it was, but the balance and time/reward etc is spot on. You'll definitely struggle with content if you try to come in way under geared, but with the Fabled Kunark gear that drops in VP, you can kit out a 3 box that can...

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    I think the entire ability to handle content on NL like this is related to their implementation of Evasion. I didn't realize how powerful evasion was on NL and even with a cleric AND shaman box, Vulak was tearing a hole in my warrior's face. Fast forward to evasion build, I was able to tank...

    Not saying I'm really very good or anything, but I wanted to share the few things that have assisted in a nearly 2000 points in a season on 76: Always be looking for high ground. If the fight takes you to low ground, sprint back up after you're done. If you know there's an enemy hog, take...

    Slowly climbing diamond. 3200 on my smurf with a 70% win-rate still. Some days I'm locked in and I play like a diamond soldier, other days I can't hit the broadside of a barn and seem to walk into every blind scatter-shot.

    Reminds me of Tribes. 1. There were always some 'Hyper Mod' servers with basically unlimited jets and full automatic everything, but they were a total clusterfuck that no one ever ended up playing. There were some really fun/subtle mods that were excellent and had a huge fan-base, but the ones...

    One thing I noticed in those APEX games is Harryhook's mouse sens. I don't know how he plays 76 with such a crazy high sens.

    You only lose the tag if you're masters +. Diamond and below can sink all the way to bronze and still flex that diamond tag goodness. Medals are crazy hard to evaluate. I could foresee a situation where it was a close game, you pumped a ton of damage into Rein shields and tagged most/all of...

    Funny, I was watching a bunch of streamers last night, Moon, B1rd and aimbot calvin. Calvin's aim was just a little too good. Went looking around - look at this fucking clip: Sometimes it's hard to figure out what to emulate in terms of gameplay when you see this kind of shit. I did learn a...

    I've been really fortunate to be on a crazy win streak so the time requirement hasn't been so bad. I'm going to see if I can ride this to masters.

    FUUUU NM! And yes - I'm getting about 100SR per win. It's been a while since I've lost = ) Started this season at 1400, it's been a fucking journey for sure.

    Just got stuck in a game where someone was carrying a much lower friend who decided to play Rein. We're on Eichenwalde and and this guy is charging through the gates like 50 yards past the entire enemy team when we have no Ana. At one point, when we got pushed back to point B, he literally just...

    I gotta say, crawling through gold as soldier, I don't think I've had any major trouble with Pharah at any point. Bad Pharah's just let you kill them in the sky, whereas good Pharah's will ground themselves or run for cover/health once you put a few shots in them. Either way, it renders them...

    Been riding 76 hard - finally moved into plat at 2530, getting about 50sr at a clip. Been on a tear lately, I think my last 15 games is probably 10-2 with 3 ties. My season win-rate on him is 65% over 43 games. The games at 2700 on my smurf seemed quite a bit harder than these 2400ish games, so...

    QP can be good practice for mechanical stuff, but it really doesn't force any game awareness or synergy out of you. I found that QP reinforced a lot of bad habits that I had, specifically not grouping up, over-extending, and being more concerned about medals than positioning and staying alive...

    Can't get a skin to save my life. Must have gone through 40 boxes already. Insane luck. Finally up to 2350 or so on the main account, from 1400 to start the season. The last 300 or so SR have all been on the back of Soldier/Pharah. It's just way easier to climb this way. Just finished a crazy...

    Was analyzing a play on 76 last night that I think lost my team the game. I'm on defense on last point on Gibraltar, team is fighting on the ramp and I'm further back on high ground. Their Rein/Hog/Ana/Lucio trying to push up when I see their Pharah (who wasn't very good), start trying to fly...
