Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
The bigger change that nobody's talked about yet here is:
- Starting at level 40 and extending to level 105, all non-caster classes will be granted ranks in a passive AA ability line that increases overall melee damage dealt with all skill types. The percentage increase starts at 10% and increases to 50% by level 65 for all classes. For levels 70 through 105 the percentage increase scales differently per class.
Per Dzarn this is impacting TLP servers.
If my math is correct and assuming it scales proportionally all the way to level 65, we're looking at approximately a 1.6% increase per level in damage starting from level 40.
Which means @ level 50, we're looking at about 26% increase in melee damage. 42% by level 60, am I reading this right? That seems crazy.
If it is true, monks are absolutely gonna blow up parses in Kunark and beyond.

Yeah, Monks with epic fists are going to be insane. Also did you guys catch the /q fix? No more instant quits.
I need to look at some parses but I think in a DPS race scenario Wizards will still be dominant for Classic, no idea what Monks will look like with Innerflame + Epic at 60 now though.

Inc sweet tears from Apok. Naggy popped at 11:27 AM est, we waited an hour before engaging (we killed last naggy FFA) and killed him. Apok screaming bloody murder saying the mob was in their timeslot. Apparently they cant read the rules, they think that if it doesnt die in the FFA timeslot, it roles over into regular time slots. The more hilarious thing is that their "watcher" didnt even know naggy was up for a good 20 minutes, claiming that naggy wasnt up for an hour when we killed him. I wish they could get suspended for trying to falsely suspend us, if they try. I'm sure server logs will show GM's they are blind as a bat.

Good. Melee, even monks, are just terrible compared to casters. You're better off with 5 casters than 5 casters and 1 melee

I have a feeling Dima is campaigning to all these other guilds to get this done. They(MM) don't get any FFA mobs so they don't want any to occur.
He will put it under the guise of "wanting to help" the lower tier guilds and its all done for them.

It's not progression if you have a rotation. It is a timed/gated co-op game with no risk and shallow rewards.

Well, EverQuest is a cooperative multiplayer game. SOE never designed it to be a competitive one; that was brought on by the players and has almost never been touted by SOE as a positive. The people that long for it to be a competition are on some level just greedy and think they have the best chance of "beating" other players to the loot they so desperately crave. It has nothing to do with accomplishment anymore, those days are long past.
So you take the time to instance it or you let the 'best' kill it themselves until they are sick of it and move on and then the next best come along.
Forcing people into some kind of rotation because they can't be adults is stupid. If you don't have the time to code in instancing you don't have the time to mediate rotation voting.

You don't get to define what meaning players derive from their playtime. I'm sure for some it's about loot. For me and most of my friends it's about the thrill of the race. We've given loot to like four guilds on our rotation after winning a race. Yeah we're not handing out CoF's or anything but it's definitely not greed that motivates us.
