There aren't even any Vaniki achievements on this, are there? RIP. Expecting everyone to do Faceless-style "let's take on this challenge just to show we can" runs, without any sort of actual tangible reward, is going to draw very little of the playerbase.

Lowering the AA level from 51 to 50, so people can start grinding AAs at 50, would at least give people something to do (get 100 AAs in level 50 zones in six months). Or starting the server capped at 51, if changing the code is too much.

Decking out in 45 Tower gear will help people summon tank Velious bosses at 50, but if you're going to ruin the purity of the challenge by leaving Tower in, you might as well just move Defensive to level 50.

Server is so DOA on so many levels. Is this the only server they're putting out? If so, at least it'll benefit from not having any competition to pull players, and will temporarily get a good population of the TLP hopper types and EC Tunnel Krosino denizens.

I give it 3-4 months of any reasonable activity before the pointlessness sets in.

They should bump the level to 55, remove required level from gear, add vaniki resists and halve the time. And it’d still be a meh server.

- Adjusted Mitigation of the Mighty so it appropriately reduces hand-to-hand damage instead of increasing it.

Did they just quietly nerf monk raiding (early era/tlp)? You would think the monks would be screaming but the forums are all like, "what a great patch". Maybe only applies to live?

They nerfed monks against MoTM1 yes. So classic bosses only.

You sure? Reading the thread on the orginal report from last year seems like the nerf goes all the way to motm 5.

This change should reduce monks dps using hand to hand about like this

motm 1 -25% dps
motm 2 -25% dps
motm 3 -20% dps
motm 4 -15% dps
motm 5 -10% dps

Its better and built for all the TLPers that just play classic > pop over and over. As that will basically turn out to be 48 weeks for classic to end of PoP, a year right on the nose in time for the next TLP.

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 playing are terrible.

It’s a server that aims to appeal to casual players, it’s offering faster exp and loot via the hot zones, it has long blocks of level locked so people aren’t “left behind” and it has a massive space available for casual leveling.

I think this is caused by the ten people on the forums who campaign for slower expansions. The problem with the forums is no one uses them and hardly any earnest discussion happens there because of people like Waring and Captain Video who derail every thread.

I think it’s a cool server with neat goals. I don’t think the casuals are going to come through for them here. They’re going to see what we saw with RF/LG slower timelines.

I wouldn't really consider ANYBODY who still plays EQ or even knows wtf an EQ TLP even is a "casual" anyways. Darkpaw are so out of touch with the people who still play their games.

i'm genuinely surprised they adjusted it at all. That said, it's still retarded lol

I am not, its was so trashed via comments that they had to do something. But I suspected whoever came up with the ruleset has a lot of pull since they were only willing to tweak is slightly. I suspect jchan was that person but could be wrong.

I actually like the small changes. You could argue certain breakpoints and timelines but for the most part I think this helps do what the server wanted to

They wanted people to be able to make the classes and races they want to from launch. Lean into personas and the leveling part of eq.

Small man's wont be able to do much until 6 months, possibly 4 if defensive is enough to overcome the level difference for tanks, which I could see as a good thing.

Paying for ae PL might not be worth it if the hot zones have a healthy bonus.

I'll play the tlp now, at least to get my fresh tlp experience for the year.

At 51 the aa abilities available are pitiful and lackluster, really only offering an opportunity to bank aa for the next unlocks so it still might be a slog to 60 but... it's better than jack shit for 90% of the servers expected life.

This thing is super, super DOA.

When it has 250 people online at peak they are gonna blame Hero's Journey.

Then the takedown notices will begin.
