Absolutely true. I need to check this emu out. My guild, Xanit K'Ven, was server first for kotasoth in Ancient Port Warehouse on the pvp server, and I think I enjoyed the raid/pvp scene on Sartok around like 2007/2008 more than any other MMO experience. So much fun racing against Havoc for...

Having fun on this one

Yeah I've been ARAM exclusive for like 2 years now. Much better experience overall.

I'm going to roll El Dorado Covenant faction to play with some old Vallon Zek buddies. If anyone wants to join, hit me up and I can get you a disc inv.

The threat of pvp enhances the PvE as well though. You gotta stay frosty and occasionally you get to fuck somebody up with a charmed seahorse (if they don’t have pumice stones).

I have a really hard time playing EQ without PvP. Played Vallon Zek to Zek, and Red99 was a blast until it wasn't. Right now getting ready to give new world a go with my old EQ guild.

Guy ghosted once he got hired by Microsoft! He was a great Master of Coin.

I don't think it's illogical to get upset over seeing p99 so mismanaged, as it's over-the-top blatant whoring of IP that we hold sacred. @Secrets , remember our red99 stint w/Mario Speedwagon, Vitality, Flex, Lachius, etc..? Those were some EQ experiences done right. I think you were part of...

I originally voted Syndicate/east, but have since learned there is a group of my old EverQuest guild (Xanit K'Ven from Vallon Zek) playing Covenant on El Dorado (West). Has anyone assumed the mantle of leadership for forum guild yet?

Yeah, I'm all for trying to guerrilla warfare to get a crack at the DB. I might launch off on my own quest to see what I can do, which will probably amount to nothing, but will update the group if otherwise.

Lets burn this motherfucker!

Yeah, I'm of the same opinion. This isn't shaping up to be the kind of MMO experience to compete with something like WoW or FFXIV from a traditional, complex perspective, but I don't really have time to invest in that type of game anymore. The game was consistently fun while I played it in...

Red99 was hella fun for a bit there. Too bad. Would be sweet if we could gank the P99 codebase and split their pop...

So let's make this happen. I miss that fucking game.

I agree with you on the small scale combat. I had some pretty fucking epic 1v1's that lasted like 5-10 mins, and when I won those fights, it felt amazing.

Yeah, their shit needs serious fuckin tweaks. The group PvP is...uhhhh....lacking nuance. You basically just mash your shit and hope that through the netcode/lag you register some bullshit in between the constant rolling around. If they don't bring some serious love to the combat I think...

Yeah, that has to be one of the least believable sexual harassment anecdotes I've read. I'm not saying Blizz wasn't a shithole and that women weren't harassed, but this chick doesn't read as anywhere close to authentic. I tend to believe women in these situations because men are obviously...

Honestly, I think the criticism of this game is somewhat over the top. I understand the PvP combat isn't balanced and the whole just being able to run away at any time is busted, but for what it is, I think the game is solid. A lot of great systems related to crafting and siege PvP, and...

I'm probably about 20 hours in, and loving it. Had some good pvp yesterday that felt quite satisfying. Running now and sword/board and sometimes rapier instead of bow. The rapier damage seems nuts. Also picked up some of my early faction gear.

Nice. Syndicate or bust.

Okay, interesting. I was proceeding down medium armor for I suppose legacy reasons, given I wanted to be a sort of ranged bow/musket dps playstyle, where possible. Relatedly, Is bow/musket at all viable in pvp?

Is medium armor at all viable in pvp builds?

I 1000% guarantee Amazon is dogfooding AWS for their underlying infrastructure. I do infrastructure/devops shit for a living, and I'm not necessarily surprised that the servers aren't stable as they are actively developing the codebase, as it is still Beta. You adjust some things, move the...

I agree, the combat needs work. That said, I enjoy playing a game that isn't running on a 16+ year old engine, and I think they have put a lot of time into many underlying systems that are great. The ambience, both sound and visuals, are the best I've seen in an MMO. The combat and PvP tuning...

I'll be playing this. Been enjoying the beta. I think most of the criticisms I'm reading in this thread seem valid, but I don't really mind the time travel takes / how large the world is. That is actually a conscious design decision that I'm into (I liked that about Vanguard). Insta travel...

If any of you want some 44 enc buffs or to group, hit me up. Name is ismaris in-game. Also have a 39 dru I can help plvl a bit.

Absolutely love kedge. Was planning to hit it up in 40s. Did charm there on my druid to get through to 60 (seahorse charming).

Thanks. I will check this spot out.

Any hot tips on good enc / dru duo spot? Enc is 38 dru 36. Been doing guk.

I had a similar experience. I have now beat the game three times, and have an insane amount of hours logged. Huge fan of turn-based tactical combat now.

Yeah, this has me all sorts of fucked up. EQ remains the most magical experience of my life, pretty much. RIP.

Damn. Was going to try this out.

SAD

let's do this!

Logged in and killing shit. Who's with me???

Rolled a gnome chanter here. hit me up--name is ismaris.

Fuck it, imma roll here

I got Quistis and Penelo BSB's out of the lucky draw. On a roll lately..

Nice, I didn't know about that. Ismaris (rdvA) / Player profiles

Yeah, I got it by simply not getting in a trash group. Was pretty easy once people stopped spam triggering ultimate firaja inferno bullshit.
