Like when they revealed what stats actually did and it turned out dex didn't go anything for monks even though it was their primary stat and most of their gear was based on ithaha, I just remembered how ridiculous the whole XP thing in EQ was. It was a massive, massive, MASSIVE concession on the part of SOE to add the thin little blue line to the XP graph so you could see your experience creeping along in a bit more detail. And actually, it wasn't just XP. It was everything. Any little concession towards common sense and/or playability was a huge battle.
Every class had this stupid shit.Like when they revealed what stats actually did and it turned out dex didn't go anything for monks even though it was their primary stat and most of their gear was based on it
Why do people miss this shit?
I heard CHA made NPC's like you more. If you had -CHA they would hate you more. Great for tanking!Every class had this stupid shit.
PoHate Warrior helm had CHA and INT on it, for fucks sake.
Because they're stuck in the past. It's Al Bundy syndrome.Why do people miss this shit?

Now I see it, total failure was the first step of the ultimate matser plan the whole time.Or perhaps he realizes the further one has Fallen, the higher he can Rise
This is how XP worked in EverQuest. So the hybrid penalty did carry over and impact the group.Actually, I think they do. The 'pie' is split evenly based on individual players total experience.
All three below get the same 'cut' of the exp pie. If the SK were level 22, he'd get a bigger cut of the pie since his exp total would be higher.
A human monk with 10,000,000xp is level 20.
A halfling warrior with 10,000,000xp is level 22
A troll shadowknight with 10,000,000xp is level 18
Since the Troll SK takes 68% more exp to level, if you continuously group with one and he's the same level, he will eat a bigger piece of the pie. As long as his total exp is greater than you. It was a really bad design.
Just to note, this was from classic and removed later.
and now he's reduced to begging for angelsIt is interesting to note that McQuaid did not want demons and angels depicted in EQ. He felt that this was because it would allow concerned mothers to let their children play EQ because it wouldn't be blasphemy or something else inane.
guys i hung with most of kunark were all about the numbers. we couldnt have just a group but group with the most dps possible. that meant i had to also change the way i played as a shaman. before kunark i was a pickup group shaman who soloed camped name mobs half the time. in kunark, i was designated parker/slower/buffer/backup healer and the pulls from the monks never stopped. my gear was terrible at the start of the expansion and by the end of kunark i still didnt have the best gear but it was much better and i still died many many times trying to keep up. but i still liked to explore and getting lv 60 wasnt that important. to this day i still dont know a third of all the zones in kunark other than what i saw on the run from here to there.Min-Maxing exp or gear? Unless my memory is way the fuck off, there was so little min/max gearing at max level (you either got lucky getting a raid piece of loot or you didn't) that it wasn't even a term used until ToV gave a few minor choices that actually could have some minor difference. Then again I was a wizard so nothing mattered what so ever for gear outside a few items like mana regen etc. And then the greatest expansion of all time came out in PoP and I was a happy camper!
Guessing you meant exp, disregardFew of my main tanks I always brought for heavy grind groups were warriors who all 2 boxed outside the group so I never had to mess with bastard SK's and their exp penalty other then my alt SK wielding a massive jade reaver at level 31 back right after kunark was out, he was god i tell you!![]()
Ha monks had +Wis on their fear chest piece, I believe. But im talking about how they would tell you things that were such blatant lies about the game. Dex only affected weapon procs, yet when you create a Monk it tells you Dex is one of the main stats you'll need.Every class had this stupid shit.

Oooo, I want to play. My guess is it will be released posthumously as Brad McQuaid's dying wish and be mailed individually to all his greatest fans, with a bill for the funeral attached.Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen - Advanced Forum Detail Topic - Guess the Release Date for Pantheon:ROTF
