Going to give Red a shot.

[Tsoukalos]

I'm from EQOA originally. I'm addicted to Blue. Cannot stop playing. Literally. HOWEVER. I did read and heard that Red is full of trolls, there's always something crazy going on, the community IS small, and it's like a family.. and the XP is a little bit faster which EQOA was. What this tells me is Red could be closer to EQOA so I'm going to give it a shot. If I like it I will play Red. If not, no big deal.

That being said I'm considering Necromancer or Shaman on Red. I do want to be a part of a good community, I would absolutely LOVE to have someone to group up with if anyone wants to start off with me and if possible at ALL.. can someone help me out in the beginning? Gimp/Twink me out?

Appreciate it fellas.

[ChubbyBubbles]

Come to the swamp. /tell Fuzzycandy when you get there.
Bring mone.
$$ We can be pals $$

[Dlardlar]

Force needs shamans;)

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

necros are pretty bad

going to do you a favor and say roll a wizard or magician

[SamwiseRed]

mabash, were you the one in SOO that used to make banded armor?

[Stasis01]

Been gone a few weeks - came back today to PVP in COM a little bit, ate a first cast root on 161 MR - and ate a tstaff proc 2nd swing... survived both but both followed by a quick plug, servers still a joke. You'll grind thinking eventually your gear will end the gimmicky feel of red99, but it won't.

[Stasis01]

Just IMO not to sway people away from solo grinding for a few months.

[Stasis01]

That being said, I've been playing Dota2 prelaunch or w/e they calling it and it feels just like WC3 dota to me - or very similar anyway.

Shits true pvp 1-2 minutes after joining a game, highly reccomend... that and I'm like a pure out cast in the community with my red99/battlenet attitude. I talk so much shit and people just act disgusted it's hilarious - but I'm adapting and shutting my mouth a bit.

what is this gimmicky feel?

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

what is this gimmicky feel?

the gimmicky feel is playing in a zerg guild full of autistic neckbeards and raiding veeshan's peak for the 45th time and praying the lord of wheels throws a crown of rile in your direction as if it's somehow worth the time spent

[Stasis01]

roots land often with 160+ mr, earth pets have like a lure root basically lands very consistent on 150+ mr - T staffs proc ratio is crazy high so if the grp has a Tstaff monk within a few swings you'll eat a 18 second almost guarenteed death.

Casters nuke for full most of the time with spells people didn't even use in classic, meaning casters with shit gear can light you up even in BIS.

The servers got a ton of gimmicky ways for you to die by means out of your control is what I meant, which live didn't really have.

[Mabash]

mabash, were you the one in SOO that used to make banded armor?

Banded and Fine Plate, yeah. The only one, hah.

[Stasis01]

Yeah and the community can't beat Nizzar so they are on an endless crusade to attempt to make him quit via forums I guess.

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

don't think live had all those rogue poisons or skeans landing all the time followed by a 2200 damage backstab

rogue is a top class here imo not sure why you're so down in the dumps

[Stasis01]

Yeah I usually one shot someone with duelist and then plug shits sweet.

[Stasis01]

JK its shit

literally the only thing that kept nihilum getting raid mobs is their uncanny ability to have 30-40 people answering the call of the batphone within 15 minutes of it going out, whereas competition guilds get maybe 10-15 people in that time

whether that has to do with insider info on when server resets are gonna happen(plausible because of having a developer in your guild) or having an overwhelming number of unemployed manchildren doesn't really matter to me, it's pathetic either way

[Stasis01]

Pluggen cause I see a 54 naked mage and a naked rogue with a RB - shits scary and classic.

Yea they're just more dedicated than most of the people on the other side, they've been doing it since release - you don't have what it takes.

Said this since before you guys joined Az.

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

fact of the matter is while shit was going straight before server resets nihilum was getting absolutely shit on

i hate doing pve but i had my jollies over watching nihilum cry about losing raid mobs and personally don't care to poopsock sebilis zonelines for 3 hours waiting to have a single mass pvp fight that's ruined by sore losers training week after week

has nothing to do with not having what it takes for me; it's seriously just not fun and i'd rather log in once every few days for some small group pvp with close friends while maintaining my social life and sanity

[Stasis01]

I hear ya it's not for me either - just wanted to say Tune Batlle thrilla mendan all those kids hector deka etc all top notch with Nizz and make it happen obv not just him the entire Nihil crew.

I only trained because I was wanded and focused first or early, didn't even get to fight - wanted to get somethen in, and it was worth the 2 weeks would do again, not because im a sore loser or something

If anything I was begging to fight u guys every chance and not just stall for hours aka kringe strat. People taking this box too serious makes raid pvp stallfest.

delete & uninstall new-nilly skum

[Stasis01]

What class is Chewie haven't been to guk since we ran that shit when it was important in classic.

[SamwiseRed]

chewie has about 7 sks, he rotates them as HT refreshes.

THE END

[Tsoukalos]

Actually I'm dying to come on Red. After work tomorrow I'm gonna roll a Nec or Shaman and try and see what Red is all about. Pretty pumped, really.

But, seriously, stay out of the Swamp and Guk. Don't say I didn't warn you.

give me your steam name pal, lets do it up big.

[gotrocks]

at least go shaman. from what i hear, you're going to regret it if you go necro.

[Faerie]

Necro class is fine, play what you like.

Stasis you need to stop ruining threads by looking for opportunities to whine. Don't chase away bluebie just because you can't compete without resorting to training.

[Slytherin]

not necro

What do necros have against them here that they didn't on live?

Against other casters it's clear that you suffer since they get to use non-lure spells. But what is the disadvantage against melee that is unlike live?

their DoTs suck, their pet sucks, golem wands, tstaffs, skeans, non-classic resists, yet spells like splurt get resisted

literally the only thing that necros have going for them on this server is that vexing mordinia can't be dispelled until you zone

[SamwiseRed]

unresistantable lifetaps, harmshield, fd, pets interrupt players casting better than players

a few pros at the top of my head.

[p-niner]

duration tap has no buff symbol, its the only thing good about necro, other than that resist makes them less powerful because their unresistable nukes are less unique, dots tick for like 30% of damage on moving pvp targets, Emissary is laughable

ur gonna get kills, but they will most likely already have gated to their bind or zoned over and u wont get the credit

[Slytherin]

DoT reduction on moving targets applies to PVP?

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

yes

[Slytherin]

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=49983

indicates its just the 66% spell damage reduction - was this changed?

[p-niner]

a) reduced on moving targets
b) reduced for pvp

c) a+b? axb? dunno

need one of the 3 necros on box to chime in

[filthyphil]

The dots are not that bad, up to level 50 I was able to zone most attacking players excluding those wearing fungi tunic. But there lies the problem, they will zone, you will not get a kill, and they will continuously attack you until there is a conclusion to the fight. You are able to shadowstep, harmshield, FD, & gate, a well played necro is hard to kill, but easy to escape.

Taps/Hot will land almost always, darkness snares will land moderately, disease/poison dots occasionally, fire rarely.

[Slytherin]

disease/poison dots occasionally, fire rarely.

Which is sad since fire line should be crazy tough to resist. Pyrocuror for example should have a minimum resist adjust of -162fr when target is higher level than you and -194fr when you're max level above them.

But folks say Splurt is easily resisted and it should have minimum of -147mr resist adjust and maximum of -166.

/shrug

[Bazia]

necros suck for multiple reasons some already covered but I will put it out there

1. Reduced DoT damage
2. The Dot's when they do land are all very quickly dispellable except for a small handful (Huge mana cost to cast the DoT then instantly dispelled by a very cheap clicky any class can use)
3. Snare is pretty easy to resist
4. The pet DPS is god awful and the necro pets have some bugs to them (Lack of DW, etc)
5. High use of golem wands = insta splat from anyone with hard nukes or discs (or even HT for that matter)

theres more reasons but yeah by the time you hit 52+ an enormous majority of the server knows how to dispell or exploit these obvious weaknesses and as a NEC you should just stick to PVE farming which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on the pvp server in the first place.

I played Necro on live and this is basically how a Necro is in Kunark. They went from being one of the best PVP classes to being a joke in one expansion. Aside from Splurt resisting (that NEVER happened to me ever in like 5 years of playing) that's all classic. Especially getting fucked up by melees with golem wands/pumice stones.

Also Fire line should never ever resist either. Splurt, Lifetaps(including dots), and Fire all landed every single time in PvP. Sadly they don't do a lot of damage.

you have to be insane to lvl a wizard to 60 here.
