    Fairly close together we had the Dawn of the Dead remake (entertaining but kinda schlocky remake in not much more than name), Shawn of the Dead (parody that surprises you with its depth) and 28 Days Later (serious, artsy but in a good way). That was a fine time to put the genre on a shelf for a...

    I think the idea is to give people more reasons to engage with the normal part of the game. As it stands everyone that isn't hopeless does all their grinding as fast as possible. That means that for a lot of players if you're trying to do stuff other times during a content cycle the only people...

    People like launches. There's only one TLP server this time too. That will help the starting numbers quite a bit. Boxer kronolord types exist so they'll be there selling the epics they can sell. Retention is going to be a disaster.

    Phew, it'll be easier to find your merchant loot. As a reformed shitter I appreciate a change like this. At the bottom level of difficulty let me grind my face against the boss. The changes they've implemented since the league launched have all been fine. It's too bad they started out a...

    If it was Classic through Luclin with level caps at 40, 50, 55 and 60 with a reason to try and do content at each break point (Vaniki achievements, bonus loot) plus Legacy characters plus their Resource Hunter than that's kind of something. Locking people at 50 until November 12th with no...

    It occurred to me I really had only seen 2 through 5 once each so I gave them all another go. Watching them one after another did them no favors. I was shocked to see Ramona Flowers was the star of the third one. Even for formulaic horror sequels these were formulaic. Nice to see Tony Todd...

    Vaniki at least was advertised on the box as being a gimmick challenge server. If you were raiding the achievements were the goal. Getting enough people on board with funneling on the annual and only TLP to do content is probably not going to be a thing. Server launches Wed May 28th, you bind...

    Making alts and doing lots of and lots of epics sounds like something casuals would do but the level 50 cap is going to throw a small wrench in some of them and a huge wrench in others. Doing Trakanon for Undead Dragongut Strings is going to be a major challenge bordering on the impossible...

    It took a month when Luclin launched for them to fix the legacy bonus so it worked on AA's. People leveled as many as ten characters for the full 100% bonus to have it only turn on after it was too late to matter. It should be an easy fix but people have been burned before.

    If the math was a tank with all the best shit you could put together got one rounded most of the time/all of the time by Emp at 50 it wouldn't be much of a shock. HOWEVER Level 55 characters were able to not get one-rounded by beatstick extraordinaire Mithanial Marr in Halls of Honor on the...

    All I'm saying is that if we set the bar at "can take one round of melee and not explode most of the time" you might be able to stack enough gear to make that a reality. Emp's probably too far but level 50 kite strat AoW kills will be a thing if a real guild shows up on this server.

    The kills might have an asterisk or two but on Vaniki more than one guild had 2+ reasonably clean kill on Emperor at 55 without huge numbers and without using cheesey basement kiting strats. You might be able to get a tank enough gear that they don't die from a single round of Emp's melee. Maybe.

    I would have paid money for silent spectres in PoE1. I'm trying to finish up the campaign and it's so hard to make progress. There's no loot so I'm checking merchants each level up and this pops up. It's not insane or anything but every single decent item I am wearing has come from a vendor...

    If there was relaxed true-box at start than having everyone carry around some extra bodies would be a great help. While I am positive you can take down way more targets than might normally be thought possible it's going to take a huge commitment in numbers and unity of vision. Given that the...

    Without the Vaniki ruleset it's just plainly impossible to land anything on a 65+ raid boss at 50. Even with that ruleset it was possible on Vaniki to get a raid blown by a boss spawning with a weapon that said +MR on it.

    or a Cleric. Any guild that really wants to see what content they can actually clear at 50 is going to find themselves on a nightly basis trying to rez faster than the boss can kill everyone. That means a plentiful number of Clerics. Cleric with a Mage box would be S tier.
