How packed do you think Crystal Caverns will be when Velious hits?

[Beaniron]

Farming the orcs for Velium weapons to use for Smithing gains? Crystal Spiders? Do you think people will be camping Geodes frequently, or round the clock + waiting lists?

[Ele]

there be dragons to slay

[Messianic]

I'd think Velks will be permafarmed moreso than CC. Crazy exp - great grinding zone.

[t0lkien]

I call shotgun on the spiders shelf.

[this user was banned]

Tower of Frozen Shadow was always my favorite.

[Beaniron]

I can see Velks and Kael perma-camped, but I was thinking CC might be really camped too. There's probably going to be a demand for Velium ore, and don't the Geonids drop all sorts of high-value gemstones?

You'd think they'd be permafarmed just for the money.

[cyryllis]

CC will also be camped by many lower level people for the bags and robes that drop off the orcs, among other things. and yeah geo will probably all be camped for gems

[webrunner5]

Going to be a shitpot of unhappy people when Velious comes out. You will be number 32 on the list for a group in the NORMAL zones. Forget the GOOD zones. Will be perma camped by 2 guilds. :(

Agreed, also on the Velious topic...

Kael is going to be perma-camped and I bet the Flawless gems are going to sell for a FORTUNE. Probably 100k per Flawless Diamond.

[cyryllis]

i think people underestimate how many gems dropped in velious for armor. I had no trouble getting all of my velious armor gems back in the day- they are rare, but not THAT rare since they drop from mobs across 7 zones

[Beaniron]

Then it'll basically be a question of "can you get your pieces to drop in Kael?" and "can you afford the gems?".

[Thulack]

No its more like " Can you afford your pieces of armor from Kael?" and "Can you get the gems to drop?"

[Beaniron]

No its more like " Can you afford your pieces of armor from Kael?" and "Can you get the gems to drop?"

Well, the armor pieces will drop from various frost giants in Kaell, around the 35-45 level range. I seriously doubt they're going to be permacamped by TMO or other guilds, at least once those guilds have their Velious armor.

To be young and naive :)

You can MQ the armor. It will be permacamped.

By TMO and FE?

[Thulack]

Or any other guild or group of friends that wants to make money selling the MQ. Pieces like Silk robes and leather bracers will make people always camp them for the money or just hog the camps for their guildies and alts.

[Beaniron]

Hmm.

I heard that Velious is going to add another set of Planar armor for Paladins, better than Valorium. Can someone link it to me please?

Velious is still greyed out on the side, but the sets that are uploaded have working links.

[Rooj]

What exactly changes in Fear 2.0 other than the drops? More mobs, less mobs, harder mobs, easier mobs, different mobs, same mobs? Mob placement?

[oldschooltrader]

CT draco n golems r harder ( Golems n draco DT)

rest is same

[webrunner5]

By TMO and FE?

I have seen a lot more Inglourious Basterds on as of late. Interesting. Maybe they know something we don't? :eek:

[Rooj]

Golems will drop loot then won't they?

[Raavak]

Quad kiters all over the wyverns and otmirs fur sur.

[Splorf22]

I'm betting there will be 500+ high-level chars on at prime time during Velious. So I think every zone will be packed to the gills.

[TarukShmaruk]

Do we get to see Veksar?

[falkun]

No. (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5519)

man can't wait, beaniron why you doing this to me, CC was my fav place to level up thru all xpacks

[kotton05]

correct me if im wrong.

doesnt the change make the wiz epic alil more attainable? or is it necro? I forget but I know pieces once off CT/inny will drop of a more regular mob

[Nirgon]

Wiz epic much more attainable

[Ambrotos]

The golems drop classic Cazic loot. Cazic has a new loot table. There is also a enraged golem that replaces the cazic skin part iirc so that makes it easier for wizard epics.

[kotton05]

When is Hate 2.0 in the mix? does that come same time of fear revamp?

[falkun]

When is Hate 2.0 in the mix? does that come same time of fear revamp?

Both planes are revamped at the same time (Mar 14, 2001), three months after Velious release (Dec 6, 2000).

[Millburn]

So I've never tested this and I may be remembering incorrectly but doesn't clicking the throne in Hate 1.0 supposed to aggro all the mobs in zone?

[Droxx]

Hmm.

X of the Righteous. Post Plane of Hate revamp.

[Beaniron]

So the Planar revamp won't be coming until 3 months after we get Velious?

[Ambrotos]

I don't know if they will revamp pof or poh here. All I know from reading was that they were stopping with velious. Not sure if the plan included stuff between velious and luclin.

I personally dont see why not. I think it would add more fun to the server pre cat age.

[Thulack]

It was 3 months after velious was originally released on live. So i would say like a year after velious is released here before we get planar revamps here.

They're having to level new characters since their old ones got banned or sold.

I heard something about them recently going on a recruiting binge with players around or lower than level 30. One of my friends got into their guild recently and he was only level 27 at the time.

Why would you even post this? It's just going to cause confusion and rumor. It has already been foretold we're going to last patch before Luclin.

[Ambrotos]

I posted it since most people dont know including myself. Maybe I missed it? Im not a dev nor seen any post other than SoV being the last major patch/expansion. Can you toss a link with the infos? Itll provide me something to read! Ive seen good ol Nilbog randomly posting, so I figured why not. Im pretty sure Im not the only one who doesn't know.

no need to get upset guy

[kaleran]

There are a lot of buffs/nerfed items/mechanics during velious, including hybrid XP penalty, easier epics, and the opening of the Warrens. I could see someone who really loved all of those aspects could get a little ruffled if they found out that the last "official" timeline event was Velious release </end>

Ele is a warden of server mechanical integrity. He can question who he wants.

Are they going to reduce the spawn timer on certain mobs, like Miragul, so we don't have to wait an entire week for a repop?

It would really trivialize the end game if Donal's Breastplate is never nerfed.

Chardok gets revamped approximately 18 months after Kunark is launched. That's when this quest should be in game. So it is technically in the timeline of this server but it's well into Velious.

Chardok doesn't get revamped till near the end of Velious :o

Going through Velious means content before Luclin, correct.

pras

[Nirgon]

Chardok revamp definitely tite.

[Beaniron]

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=22009

Says that's a Kunark weapon, and one of my favorites from Live, but it's not in-game right now. Will it be when Velious hits, or later, or not at all?

[Razdeline]

Does not drop in this era. Notice level requirement and the comments. It was added in Droga sometime after DoN.

Bunch of new named mobs. New weapons, gear, banker, spirit wracked cords and chardok faction. Halfling illusion mask.

Not that enough haven't dropped to already trivialize the content permanently ha...or is a retroactive nerf that affects all breastplates that have already dropped?

What I would pay for a legit progression server, I.e relive the patches etc content as it was, that didn't allow two boxing. I can't wait for velious and it will be glorious, but eventually when it's consumed it will be sad knowing nothing more will be on the horizon.

This server doesn't allow two-boxing though. Some people just do it anyway because they don't care about the rules.

[heartbrand]

I know that I was referring to a non existent progression server that would go from classic until whenever with no two boxing and that stayed true to each era. No vexthal no pop no god etc makes me sad :(

I would've liked to see Luclin for Beastlord class and AA's (Crits, Double Attack/Boastful Bellow for Bards, etc), but Velious gets a lot of nice content and the game only went downhill after that era.

[Clark]

Agreed, also on the Velious topic...

I guess I just long for the days of challenging content in EQ which don't really occur until somewhat in luclin and moreso in pop and god. Velious, while immersive and fun, is not "challenging".
