    It was annoying. My account was over 10 years old with a good ratio and lots of bonus points. It is what it is I guess.

    I managed to let my IP Torrents account expire. Anyone have an extra invite they don't passing out?

    Awesome, thanks. Heads up: users have to be registered at your forum to read posts under Knowledge Base. I can view threads under Features and Policy no problem, but not threads in other sections.

    This server looks interesting. Any word on what race/class experience penalties are like?

    Star Wars Squadrons

    Cool. This would be my first EA game since Dragon Age: Origins. I'm not sure how their ecosystem works these days. I hope the bugs get worked out soon.

    Star Wars Squadrons

    I loved X-Wing/Tie Fighter back in the day. Do you actually have to install Origin to play this, or can you just make an EA account?

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Nope. 60Hz still. I am likely to get a higher refresh rate monitor during the life of my next card though, so a 3070 might not be totally crazy.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    My gtx 970 is definitely starting to struggle even at 1080p. I was (naively) hoping to avoid a n Gotcha. Is that still true for 1080p gaming? I doubt can justify a new monitor on top of a gpu uprade and/or new build. I guess I'll see what the upgrade landscape looks like after the new AMD...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Any idea how bottlenecked I would be with a 6600k on a Z170 motherboard if I installed a 3070?

    I cannot use the 970 until the 3000 series comes out and I upgrade. I can't wait for that to do the build, as a replacement is needed for work before then.

    Desktop Computers

    I'm trying to keep the budget at around $800. Like I said, I can pass on my old 970gtx once the 3000 series is released, so I'm trying to avoid buying a vid card now. Particularly since the system is going to be used for MS Word, Zoom meetings, and Youtube.

    Desktop Computers

    Same room as the router, so no worries there. ASUS's page did indicate that their B550's don't. Home office, watching Youtube, and maybe light gaming (Stardew Valley/Minecraft level stuff). I haven't built an AMD system since like 2001 (and it was a shitshow), so I don't know enough to be...

    Desktop Computers

    Right on. I'll give the fractals a look. Is a Platinum rated PSU really needed/reasonable for Office work? Hell, I think I have a gold in my 5-year-old gaming rig. On a related note, am I overdoing it with the m.2 drive over a standard SSD? We're talking about an upgrade from a 5400 rpm laptop...

    Desktop Computers

    Sanity check? Any thoughts on different parts to consider? Thanks in advance for any help. I most likely am (waaaay) over doing it on the PSU, and I am not married to the monitor. The B550 mb is apparently not compatible with the 3400g, so I went with a x570. PCPartPicker Part List...

    Thank you for the continued advice. A few things on background: - waiting until the fall is not an option; the build is to replace an ancient a10-5959 laptop that has basically already shit the bed - this won't really be used for much other than office apps/watching TV, so I am not sure how...

    Thanks for the tip. It looks like Amazon has a decent sale for the same processor now. I've always had (very) bad experiences with non-Intel CPUs, but I probably just had bad luck. edit: looks like the Ryzen 5 3600 does not have onboard video, and I won't have a hand me down vid card until the...

    Desktop Computers

    It's not so much that I want integrated video, but it would be nice to cut costs. Like I said, it is mostly going to run MS Office, Zoom meetings, and Youtube. I am planning on picking up a 3070 for my PC when they hit market later this year. Would the i3-10300 make more sense with a hand me...

    Desktop Computers

    Do any of you have experience with recent i3 processors? I'd like to do a home office PC (Office suite, youtube, and maybe light gaming). Would an i3 10300 with integrated video and 16 gigs of ram give a snappy experience? I feel like going up to an i5 is probably overkill for what they would...

    7 Days to Die

    They added a new feature in alpha 19 for players that use that strategy. Alpha 19 has been generally well received by the community.

    Survival games

    I'll post thoughts on the games that I'm familiar with. Rust - PvP game with building/survival elements. If you don't have a regular crew to play with and play often, you're going to have a bad time. Ark Survival - Expensive and bloated, but a lot of fun to be had. Not a full voxel world. 7...

    EQ: Classless.

    As one of those still playing, it's a fun server. For those that want some EQ action but don't want to poopsock on green, it might be fun to check it out.

    EQ: Classless.

    Thanks for the answers. It definitely is a lot different combat wise than classic. Hymm of restoration is wild. I've been noodling around on a character named Alexzia if anyone from the board is still around. My 30ish currently.

    EQ: Classless.

    I've been thinking of giving this a go. I have a couple questions about how the server works/balance. - How are pets? - Is charm always max duration? - Are weapon proc rates increased? - Do weapon procs have required levels? - Are stats/racial abilities normalized? E.g., any reason to be...

    I haven't posted much, but we're still playing. We've finished VT. Haven't started messing around in PoP much yet.

    Addicted Dads (EQ Emu 2 Box)

    Tunare's faction hits are pretty minimal here. You can undo a lot of that with killing in crushbone.

    I've been waiting for DPS to be flagged. A four hour VT clear sounds pretty horrible

    With your level/classes, you probably could afk exp somewhere.

    Addicted Dads (EQ Emu 2 Box)

    I did some 10 minute parses today of a few weapon combos. These were all on the level 65 target dummy. They all assume 305 str/dex, item/spell haste at 100% (showing 200% on rag doll), 1626 attack w/o avatar or 1814 attack with. The SoD parses are mainhand SoD, AHB off. The AHB parses are dual...

    What parser do y'all use? I want to compare a few things.

    It really wasn't that close. I got lazy manastoning when it was clear we were going to win

    Addicted Dads (EQ Emu 2 Box)

    Grats! I got the shaman to 65 and am working on some AA on it now. I ought to do ntov with the cleric to get her luclin flagged too. Zyyz and I probably would have been able to do cursed the other night if I had a cleric rather than an under leveled shaman.

  38. Alexzander

    Addicted Dads (EQ Emu 2 Box)

    It could just be that server logic is "knights have bad DPS so 2 handers suck". That's obviously a non-sequitur, but EQ players are generally a pretty superstitious lot. I have also heard that berzerkers do not parse well. I have no evidence to support or deny that. Edit: my under-leveled...

    A full group for ST is nice. It's a bit of a slog down to FA. I just need NToV on my warrior/cleric for Luclin. I haven't gotten around to it yet. :p
