How long do these "temporary block" things last? Was fighting fabled gorenaire but got warped to 0/0 a few times when feared, pulled her to that spot so it stopped, but 10 mins later, DC'd and can't log back on. Fuck this company

Yeah a Tank + Healer merc will duo most of the dragons by themselves while you watch.

Don't buy Vaniki chieves for Krono IMO. There are plenty of people running them for free, Aeth as mentioned above, otherwise just join a decent guild discord (or a few) and most will have people running them and letting people tag along. Or level up a box crew and do it yourself, 2 krono gets...

They've adjusted ZEMs plenty over the years on TLPs, they just refuse to tell us which ones and by how much because "reasons" people tend to figure it out for themselves eventually.

Not going to change the "optimal" path a lot. Can do FoB/Kurns until the mid to high teens, but then the OG path is still going to be best until low to mid 40's, Unrest, SolA/B, Guk, but instead of having to do OOT gobs until the hole is open you can go to KC or Chardok. Chardok will still be...

Nope. Doesn't port you to any LDoN camps until LDoN is out, however if you choose one of the gates zones it will punt you to the evac/succor point of the zone you are in. Works as a vendor too but has a 20 hour cooldown.

Yeah some claim the horrendous lag early on Aradune was the result of them testing some kind of anti cheat, not sure if true or just a conspiracy theory. The conspiracy theorists have been on a pretty good run of being right the last few years though.

It was telling one raid on Aradune with Atabishi we'd get CoTH'd onto a large ledge high above one of the bosses, may have been Mini Aten but was a while ago. Anyway he was explaining to the guild members in voice at the time that the boss was totally capable of G Fluxxing people up onto that...

My understanding is they easily detect stuff like warping but don't take immediate action, you just get put on a list and a few times per year they suspend a bunch of people in a "wave". Luck of the draw if you get caught up but when one goes out most "top" guilds have people who suddenly have...

New TLPs in May will launch with Kunark.

Hard to go without SEQ once you've started using it.

People overstate how widely used SEQ is, most casuals don't use it, less than half of people in "top" raid guilds use it, if you just raid and don't need to track targets or pull you don't really need it. PLers and Krono farmers of all persuasions typically do though. When you use it it's...

Personally I don't care what Secrets does with the server I have no plans on playing there ever. Just seems dumb to pander to snowflakes over a 25 year old elf sim. Zoomers and Millenials don't have to look very far in a game that old to find problematic or offensive things, plenty of examples...

I was referring to just old school offering a krono or 2 for somebody you know to get it at server launch, if you have dozens of guildies trying to get it when servers come up you increase your odds compared to just yourself trying to beat all the snipers. It will cost you at least a name...

Do the Freeport bankers still all have jewish names on this emu? Seems kinda problematic.

Set a bounty for your guild to reserve it, seems counterproductive but better to have a guild member snag it and hand it over for a reward than have some petty douchebag snipe it out of spite and never log it on.

Or buy one of these, assuming they are available on the new TLPs (Don't see why not).

Have to to some pretty shitty stuff these days to get turned down by a guild, even then it's easy to sneak in under a different name for a while, but you'll probably get sniffed out eventually, TLPers generally don't change a lot.

A lot of people got burned by Thornblade thinking it would have merged a lot earlier than now, a large percentage of players would probably avoid going to the overflow again.

As a recently retired Oakwynd vet, FTE was just a massive double edged sword. You could use it against others one minute and have it used against you the next. I'm pretty agnostic on whether it was a plus or minus on Oakwynd, but I likely won't miss it if it's not used on Teek.

Back in the early days the purist nerds scoffed and looked down upon people that bought twink gear or power levels, those guys were rightfully bullycided at the time. But they may have been right it's gotten completely out of hand now where there seems to be more people buying shit from the...

Pretty much, anything that is BiS and somewhat rare will be worth a bunch of krono, 2nd BiS worth considerably less and everything else is peanuts. Even broke casuals are rolling around fully raid geared, it just might be the previous expac or the 3rd best item for that slot at that time.

I think everyone at this point that has played a TLP in the last few years knows exactly what they are getting into and just doesn't care anymore. Yeah they aren't doing shit about it and probably won't, too much money is tied up in bot farmer/PL crews from both the supply and demand side. It's...

No the pools are same expansion same level Range, and while there is interesting stuff that you don't normally see most of it is trash that you can barely give away, particularly once Velious drops and everyone is chasing ToV/Kael/Tunare loot.

Heard "horror" stories from the early GDKP guilds where they didn't really restrict who could bid on what so whales would snap up most of the gear to resell. By the time I joined the main GDKP guild on Mischief it had gone through a few iterations and was known as Treasures and was a bit more...

I'm glad they went with a straight up Mischief clone, most of their experiments have been flops and fallen short of what was promised, typically due to poor support.

Probably, seeing as even the regular drops now require premium. It's next to useless without a sub now.

We've been expecting this since the JChan hint a month or more ago about bringing back popular rulesets, not sure why people were still expecting something different. Mischief has been pretty much the only "experimental" ruleset that can be considered a great success so repeating it a few years...

Hopefully we get rulesets next week for the real hype to begin.

J Chan totally has it ready to post, but she has guests over and is just waiting for them to leave.

Yeah there's always too many SKs for exactly that reason, no guild seems much interested in turning away 6 boxers that need to have their main be the SK, just so they can compete with people that actually tank for plate so they can farm more krono outside raids.

Probably also a revolving cast of tourists to easily beat on parses.

Yeah PoP(LDoN) locked. Before Necros get DoT crits, and time is one of the worst zones for good Mages due to MoTM still in effect as well as de aggro mechanics on some bosses. It's a snapshot in time (pun intended) and should be taken with a grain of salt in the overall TLP lifecycle, when...

They are kinda boring for classic to velious unless you get to pull on raids, mostly just stand around playing resists with a drum, melee when you can to proc epic if you have it, or doing double mana macro in a group full of Clerics. Luclin it gets a bit better when you start getting proper...

Can live without an Enchanter at all in any raid that doesn't have a lot of mezzing required, eg Emp, Rathe council. Otherwise can be replaced by clarity and haste potions for the first year of a TLP. Never enough bards, ideally you would like one per group. AE mana song should be on the raid...

Is @Atabishi Forgot Password coming out of retirement for this? there's already a Faceless as well as a Vicious guild planned, they need some competition.

Enchanter has the easiest time charming, they have their own tash, they also don't need the group to fuck around as much trying to find the right mob for them to charm, eg undead or animal. Nec is probably second easiest as at least they can ST their pet on break, Druid a distant third because...
