The shittiest part of this thread is raev.

[Swish]

Lot of talk coming from a guy with 14.5k forum posts that knows the forum rules like the back of his hand and openly and blatantly broke one of the most well known rules there is and got himself suspended for being a shithead.

You will never live it down Swish. I promise. Might as well retire this account (For real this time) and start fresh. Just try not to repeat the same boring BDA bullshit that literally nobody else cares about over and over again ad nauseam or people will instantly know who it is.

You bump this thread almost daily. Thread is boring and cyclical. Do you remember what happened on any given page? Apart from you saying something without any substance to bump the thread to prevent it slipping out of the 10 most recently posted threads and Kushie reminding us what page we made it to now.

I just enjoy the circus act BDA performs, nobody takes your accomplishments on an instanced content server seriously and you're up to the eyeballs in RMT.

Nothing on Phinny even comes close to having that much stat inflation. That item even requires lvl 80 and 60 is the current cap on Phinny. Nice try at a troll post but u failed pretty hard sorry.

youll be in gates of discord by the end of 2017

[skarlorn]

Fact is, all members of BDA who began afresh on Phinny are human scum with vacant real lives.

How else can you explain their sickness, their need to level back up to sixty and begin clearing the same raid content anew? When will it end for these permafat neckbeard scum?

Ya I never said it won't. I personally have no intention of playing beyond OoW (Xpac #8) at the very latest DoDH (#10) that's where I quit on Live. The item dumbass jpn linked is from House of Thule (#17)

So? That's when it's time to find something else to do. EverQuest isn't the be-all end-all you clowns make it out to be. Even Zeelot found something else to do. It's a big world out there.

I remember being on the disciplinary committee after he sniped the 8th ring turn-in. Even though his actions were deplorable and kick-worthy, it was decided that he should stay because his raid attendance was so high.

while i agree with sentiment of this thread both for classic and sack chasin instance (can apply to both i suppose)...

leveling,grinding, "getting to 60" is only a function of new emu server ....

[nhdjoseywales]

The question I'm trying to get at is what potentially mathematically outputs a higher damage value in terms of specific, measurable numbers: 35 rogues in high-end gear or 70 rogues in low-end to mid-end gear?

I'm not asking about managing players as officers or looking at variance in player skills. I'm asking this question from a theoretical controlled environment and am asking about the mathematical data. Does gear matter so much in EverQuest that mathematical output of player in high-end gear surpass mathematical output of two players in low-end to medium-end gear? Obviously, it does vary by class, but I'm using rogues as an example to look at because the role's purpose is DPS and can be measured with a mathematical value.

From a mathematical perspective in a theoretical, controlled environment, does the value of one high-end rogue surpass total mathematical output of DPS surpass the total mathematical output of 2 low-end to medium-end rogues?

looking at parses on our last Tunare it appears it takes 3 low end rogues to equal 2 high end rogues. this is on a mob like tunare where positioning and ae are not a factor. add in ae's and the low end rogues simply melt away from the parse either from dying to an ae i can sit thru easily or because they have to dodge the ae i easily sit thru. if you are zerging something with unlimited numbers maybe its not important but thats not the game we are playing. instances have limits on how many people you can bring. the limits drop lower in future xpacs. Why would anyone think its smart to use 6 dps for example when 4 will do the same or better dps and then you can add some more heals, tanks, or utility? im sure you are gonna dance around and shout how you were right about the ratio, but the ratio we threw out was an estimate, you flatly said you would take more people over less and that's just fucking retarded.

For the record, i also did parsing on test last night with diff weapon combinations to see how much each did. Each test was done with buffs/stats similar to what i would have on live vs a lvl 70 training dummy mob for 15 minutes each (yeah not that long)

Myro+MHT 245 dps 1619 atk

MHT+Ragebringer 235 dps 1673 atk

Ragebringer+Frozen Shard (a popular combo among non TOV geared rogues) 175 dps 1673 atk

MHT+Ragebringer 235 dps 1673 atk

Ragebringer+Frozen Shard (a popular combo among non TOV geared rogues) 175 dps 1673 atk

Rogues on Phinny can put out 245 DPS? That's double and even triple some of the rogues on p99. What's the deal w/ the huge difference?

[Sodors Finest Poster]

Now that BDA is on Phinigel can we have access to all BDA forum logs?

Is that like, P99 public domain now or something?

[arsenalpow]

I'd assume it's different damage tables entirely. I kick for a shit ton on my monk and that was never the case on p99. Things are different but it's still balanced. Protection of the Mighty and Mitigation of the Mighty makes even Kunark dragons challenging. Trak is not a joke who dies in 30 seconds, it's a fight that requires solid execution, as is the case for most encounters when you aren't throwing 72 bodies at something (BDA rolls with 60+ with 4-6 boxes in that count)

[Raev]

I have to kind of snicker when I see Chest talking about zerging.

[nhdjoseywales]

Well technically thats a Phinny toon testcopied to live test attacking a training dummy type mob in the arena. Live/phinny has innate damage aa's you get as you level up that increases melee damage. This is somewhat offset in xp situations by the lowered xp rate Phinny gives and is offset in raid situations by increased mob hit points and mitigation of the mighty buffs that reduce incoming damage, increase outgoing damage, and lower player resists by 40 or so.

[arsenalpow]

Not sure why. BDA pulled numbers on p99 during primetime hours but we usually didn't run as deep as the more active raiding guilds. Definitely didn't have deep numbers in Velious compared to everyone else.

[feanan]

best part is they can have ~9 months of fun on phinny, and all come back here and be in the same position as before they left.

stagnant server is stagnate

[zanderklocke]

What are dragon fears and other AEs like on Phinigel vs P99?

I'm assuming not as ridiculous for Velious mobs?

What a f#cking joke – The entire reason for the zerg guilds we see in Velious is because everyone had to merge to meet Taken and BDA numbers

[arsenalpow]

Even with protection of the mighty which reduces your resists, with 200+ MR you have a good chance at resisting a fear. We've killed Zlandi and Klandi easily, but we haven't messed around with Sont because the ROI isn't worth the time spent.

Just like p99 there's only a handful of AEs you just can't take, we fight through almost everything minus Zlexak, sometimes Nev, sometimes Vulak, and some ST ancients.

[Man0warr]

Velious Dragon Fears on Phinny actually work like they did in 2001.

Zlandikar's Stun Breath isn't an AE (single target proc) like it is on P99 either.

I seem to remember you killing Faydedar with 80+ after breaking the rotation . . .

80 man fay lol

Did they manage to train themselves? I remember bda always having zerg numbers and training themselves/other guilds(that ikitiar early velious in particular was hilarious)

TMO? Rampage? Surely you aren't talking about BDA who as far as I can tell the only thing they did "wrong" was "break" a player made raid rotation slightly before the P99 staff forced it to break anyway. It takes some Swish level mental gymnastics to go from that to "shit all over the raid scene"

I give up. What's the answer?

I'd likely still be playing on the server if they didn't allow the raid scene to become such a festering pile of shit. It would take such little effort to DRASTICALLY improve it and they refuse to do anything to fix it. Pretty much every single person that is or has ever been involved in endgame raiding knows how broken the system is and year after year nothing really gets changed. They once had my respect but they kinda lost it tbh. Sorry not sorry.

Still not sure which guild shit all over the raid scene and RMT'd off the server. Are u ever gonna give us the answer or just keep dodging? My hunch is you're talking about TMO or Rampage but I haven't quite figured it out yet.

What could be done so easily to dramatically improve raid scene?

This has been discussed over and over again in countless threads on these forums over the years. Different people have different opinions but the most popular options that I saw and personally agree with was to automate the earthquakes that Rogean does every so often. Ask any raider on P99 and they'll tell you that earthquakes are the most fun. Every guild gets a shot at relevant content cause the top 2 guilds can't lock down every important target at the same time. Despite TONS of requests in thread after thread to my knowledge Rogean has never acknowledged this request one way or another. At one point in time we were promised I think 1-2 earthquakes per month? I forget the exact numbers. When's the last earthquake P99 has had? Would you say you're getting anywhere near even 1 per month? How hard do you think it'd be for Rogean to automate an earthquake once or twice a month?

Another thing that a LOT of people were/are in favor of is reducing variance. Another super easy fix that would eliminate 16 hr tracking windows which is one of the biggest barriers to entry for the smaller/casual raiding guilds. NOBODY wants to screenshare track and stare at a wall waiting for a mob to pop for 16 hours at a time. There's only a handful of people on the entire server willing to do it and they're all clustered in the top 2 (maybe 3?) guilds. If windows were 2 or 4 or even 8 hours long it would drastically improve other guilds willingness to participate and actually contest raid targets. If windows were 4 hours I'm willing to bet BDA would still be on P99 right now. Everyone got burned out trying to track multiple 16 hr windows every week and who can honestly blame them? Even 4 hours is longer than I want to spend staring at a wall waiting for a dragon to spawn to be quite honest.

There's a lot of other routes the P99 staff could take to remedy the situation but they've demonstrated time and time again that they aren't interested in fixing it.

It's definitely fixable but yes it would absolutely require staff intervention. It doesn't seem to me that they're interested in fixing it though. Anybody remember the "guild summit" and all the fixes that resulted from that? Oh wait...

This would have lowered the barrier to entry, but it wouldn't fix things. There'd still be a clusterfuck of 300 people all trying to do the same thing at once.

Haha, looks like I was wrong.

BDA is completely fine with using these forums, for a game the played for free for years - to undermine and bitch about the volunteer staff, because they didn't get the changes they wanted in the raid scene.

I'm not sure if pointing out lack of action in fixing a raid scene thats nearly unanimously agreed to be completely broken is bashing. Maybe it is? I didn't single out any specific staff member and I don't have any problems with any of them individually really. I do think their lack of willingness to fix the issues people have had for YEARS with the raid scene is a little ridiculous. Not just BDA but the vast majority of the server. If that doesn't fit Pokesan's definition of "classy" then I just might have to cry myself to sleep tonight :(

Bashing is an odd word, I'd definitely describe it as disrespectful. Recruiting on these forums for another server because you didn't get the changes you demanded - yeah I would say that's pretty small and spiteful.

You know it's a free game, right? BDA played here for a long time. I don't know why you would do that if you weren't having fun doing so.

[jcr4990]

this was a really naive post. the same group of 60 ppl will probably just batphone between servers with constant sentries on every target on both. burn it down

No I hate to say it but for once I agree with you. There was an idea floating around for a while of splitting Blue99 into 2 different servers. One server would be FFA raiding as it is now (Or Class C pre-velious) and the other server would be a staff enforced OR hardcoded rotation server for casual raiders. I understand why some people were skeptical of the idea and didn't want to split the community.etc but I still to this day think it would be a great solution to the problem. Why not let Hardcores and Casuals both have what they want?

Again I believe it comes down to staff not caring about the raid scene at all OR they like 16 hr poopsocks with screenshare trackers and FTE races regardless of how the majority of players feel.

I'll say the same thing I said about Luclin/PoP. (I realize this isn't in development and won't be with current management and I am fine with that.)

You open the server, make it optional. You either /transfer or roll there or you don't. If the server fails, you allow transfers and shut it down. I realize the community still "splits" regardless of it being voluntary or not, however I think this would have been to the projects benefit back when it peaked critical mass.

The time to do this was at critical mass, to grow the project possibly. Now? I don't think either raid class/rotation split, or a Luclin/PoP box make any sense with current population.

But there is no reason to force anything on anyone as far as I know. You just make it optional.

Rogues on Phinny can put out 245 DPS? That's double and even triple some of the rogues on p99. What's the deal w/ the huge difference?

Here is the rogue parse from last Sunday's Tunare. Vespen is a new rogue with seb dirk/epic, Sharpy/Naudee have Vulak/Tunare/Epic. This is a rare parse where Sharpy beat Naudee.


#6 Sharpy 31k@109 (175 in 177s) [3.32%] ---
#10 Naudee 27k@97 (154 in 178s) [2.95%] ---
#11 Ramminarr 25k@89 (142 in 178s) [2.72%] ---
#14 Talanaa 23k@80 (127 in 179s) [2.44%] ---
#17 Froogle 21k@75 (118 in 180s) [2.28%] ---
#22 Vespen 18k@63 (93 in 191s) [1.91%]

And our last Tormax just because i topped it :P

#1 Naudee 47k@128 (129 in 364s) [5.4%] ---
#6 Tossing 38k@103 (105 in 360s) [4.33%] ---
#7 Talanaa 38k@102 (111 in 339s) [4.31%] ---

It makes sense... I'm sure SoE/ Daybreak has altered the base combat code so much over the years that it's easier to dole out buffs like this to players and NPCs alike instead of trying to recode it to how it used to be. I was just surprised. At least it sounds like NPCs are tuned to accommodate for the additional DPS. I'd be curious about EXP groups. 250 DPS would melt just about any mob in Kunark/ Velious.

i believe there are different versions of that buff with different percentages that are applied to diff expansions. there was an issue when velious launched where some mobs had the kunark version of mark which made them really hard to kill. im not sure which version velious mobs have, i can check tonight.

[arsenalpow]

Ya it scales. For old world stuff it's MotM 1, Kunark is MotM 2, Velious is MotM 3, Luclin will be 4. Most targets also do Protection of the mighty which reduces everyone's resists, and then everything also does Mark of the Old Ways which nerfs pet damage so people can't Mage pet zerg everything.

Fights are still challenging. Vyemm and AoW are always dicey.

[nhdjoseywales]

I suspect this is part of the reason xp rates are lowered on Phinny. People get all hung up on the amount of xp they get per kill but they seem to fail to notice they kill a lot more stuff a lot faster than they would back in the day.

we had a really rapey vulak wih ranger sword and shield not too long ago.

yeah the pet debuff is interesting. it allows a certain number of pets to engage the mob without penalty and then after number x all pet damage is lowered across the board so it becomes a hindrance to stack pet classes like they did on ragefire and lockjaw

Hi Nibble.

[skarlorn]

The best way to fix the raid scene on p99 is to stop raiding and stop playing your raid toons. Then you can level a new toon from scratch with no twinking.

it's the best part of the game, my dudes

Almost into page 300. I look forward to hearing about Luclin.

Vex Thal as an instance is going to suck balls though, I do feel bad that you won't have an opportunity to park CotH bots for VT. Clearing through sucked but doing a CotH clear was good fun.

at least no respawns in instances tho. im sure all the guilds will have cothbots in open world

[Man0warr]

Haven't played on test, but hopefully it's like ToV where some of thetrash is despawned associated with bosses when returning to the instance.

[AzzarTheGod]

I just realized the main reason we will never see luclin/pop released in any form under the P99 banner (on a char-copy separate server with a separate brand) is because this project is 110% closed source which means they can't just pick up a few work horses to push it out over the next few years.

and unless we shoot nilbog full of Adderall, his interest in expacs he self-admittedly had no fun in isn't happening.

[AzzarTheGod]

because I always wondered why not just hire some volunteer sperglords and let them put their name on the project while you crack the whip on their backs and make them design luclin.

Closed source. Cant just take any geek off the street. If the project wasn't closed it would open up more hiring opportunities for future expansion but it would also denigrate the P99 brand forever as the unsavory coders leech and leak to other projects.

Loving phinny so far. Almost fully geared out only raiding exclusively instanced content Thursday and Sundays only. Can't wait for Luclin and POP.

http://eq.magelo.com/profile/3650472

and if you are looking for a more stable, non batphone, raid schedule check out Resolute. We go 5:30 -9:00 p.m. Pacific Thursday and 3:00 -9:00 p.m. Sundays. We will add Tuesday once Luclin comes out in a couple weeks. We get so much gear I'd say 50% of the stuff is rots or go to alts right now. Only a couple items go for more than 2 weeks worth of DKP.

+1 for Resolute. Luclin soon! Can't wait to make my beastlord.

UPDATE: the neon "buy now" button on every item's stat page is not for purchasing the item itself, it is for purchasing cosmetics! that means playing phinigel is highly dignified!

had to shower with fucking magnolia flower extract body wash and other weird flower stuff...allergies killing me now w/ the ragweed burden.

anyway just wanted to say this was a great update from the front lines of Phinigel.

If I could play on an instanced server with a decent population that ended at Velious, I'd be there in a second. For a game designed to be PVE, who cares about getting kills over someone else if you are both capable of taking down the mob with your respective guild? "Competition" in EverQuest is meaningless; it's not a PVP game at its core.

Eww gross. We rock WoW Live all day. If you took 3-4 years off, and returned for Legion you had a kick ass time.

I'm leaving BDA for a guild that has actually killed Talendor, Faydedar and Gorenaire.

Difference of opinions I guess. I just got done playing live for about 1.5 months. I rerolled to re-learn how everything works, and I just did not like it. Everything was a straight up face roll. Any class could face tank multiple enemies. CC is nonexistent.

I liked vanilla--> BC so much because it took some of the core concepts of EQ and upgrayed them with the wow engine. It's a shame because the wow gameplay is fun, I just personally do not like the direction they're headed. Maybe I'll try ESO next month.

Vulak drops were pretty good last night: palladius axe, robe, earring, and mask

[khanable]

4 drops, must be nice

[Daldaen]

4 drops, must be nice

Should see the Yelinak corpses they loot.

It actually drops more than 1 item! I think that's the drop rate on P99 that makes me the most salty because it is so obviously wrong and the gear from him is trash to begin with so correcting it wouldn't harm anything.

[arsenalpow]

Vulak is always 4 drops and two spells/songs

Yelinak is always 4 drops plus the head and ST key and goddamn his loot is always mediocre as fk

[Man0warr]

Someone figured out that Vulak's loot is divided into 4 Pools on Live servers, and you always get 1 loot from each. Every kill we have matches up with this. Not sure when it was implemented though, maybe Daldaen can find some older Vulak kill shots and see if it matches up to 2001. Could be some evidence for 4 loots on P99.

Pool 1
Crystasia's Crystal Ring
Kelsiferous' Armband of Artistry
Sal`Varae's Robe of Darkness
Solist's Earring of Insight
Ssra's Bloodstone Eyepatch

Pool 2
Rowyl's Metal Armguards
Yakatizma's Shield of Crafting
Hobart's War Helmet
Sirran's Boots of Insanity
Viik's Pauldrons of Pain
Akkirus' Mask of Warfare

Pool 3
Camii's Bracer of Vigor
Maclaer's Boots of Silence
Tolan's Longsword of the Glade
Do`Vassir's Gauntlets of Might
Palladius' Axe of Slaughter
Gharn's Rock of Smashing

Pool 4
Jaelen's Katana
Valtron's Necklace of Wonder
Mrylokar's Dagger of Vengeance
Vyrinn's Earring of Insanity
Brother Xave's Headband
Feeliux's Cord of Velocity
Abashi's

[Man0warr]

Though I imagine that change to his loot wasn't until after he went back from a Ring event to spawning when all Lord/Ladies dead. Sucks for you guys.

The new Mythic Dungeons and the Emerald Nightmare raid are pretty difficult. You have to know the fights, cant just heal through them and face tank everything, so your statement is INVALID.

But I have not played WoW in like 10 years, so this is all new to me again

[Nirgon]

4 drops, must be nice

Well at least the drops are classic, u no?

[Nirgon]

Meanwhile you have dragons here that will literally drop nothing or just a spell. Never, ever, ever saw this happen on Live during any area.

This is done to make you stick around and play here longer imo.

As if raiding wasn't GROCE enough already.

[Lojik]

I wonder if Wurm Lord Shawl was supposed to be on Yelinaks loot table and it was just a typo or other dumb error to make it a random drop throughout the zone. Name seems to indicate it would be, and it seems on par with his other loot.

I've had this same thought. Unless Yelinak's minions do his dry cleaning on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I don't know why they'd be carrying his shawl...

I haven't played since Cataclysm but the guild I joined (some old peeps from Fohguild.org/ReRolled) cleared through the first 5 bosses in Normal Emerald Nightmare pretty easily. Cenarius took a few tries, pretty fun fight.

Won't have time for it after Luclin launches but Legion was a pretty fun leveling experience. I heard the Panda and Warlord expansions were dogshit though so sounds like Blizzard learned from that.

[jcr4990]

World of Warcraft is a steaming pile of dogshit and has been since somewhere between the end of BC and start of Cataclysm. Vanilla/BC were good. WotLK was okay. After that its just been shit after shit after shit. Wtf is this garbage talent system? Why can I change specs at the drop of a hat as many times as I want? Who the fuck thought being able to queue for raids was a good idea? Is there no such thing as tank/heal/dps gear anymore? Does all the gear just work for everything?

Fuck you Blizzard. You had a great game and you pandered to baddies til it turned into garbage. At least Overwatch is fun I guess.

Pretty much agree to an extent. Some people love the stat and talent simplification, train epic mount at 40 for 40 gold or some dumb shit (lol). Sadly raid finder seems like it's the standard nowadays.

Imo classic to bc wow was like an extension of what I loved about classic eq-- leveling was punishing enough, grinding cash was tough as a noob, gear upgrayeds made a big diff, CC was huge and could gain you respect/ notoriety if you sucked at it, people actually talked to you, having to form dungeon groups and run there.... The list goes on. Yeah whatever accuse us of looking at things with the nostalgia glasses, but I've tried leveling on live wow and I couldn't handle it. It's just too mind numbing and easy.

And I'm not about to drop 50 bucks on an expac I may not like and put down after two weeks. I get that if I did I could auto level to 100. Perhaps the high level content shits on all my complaints. I don't care, from what I've seen, I don't want to invest the time to reach it, and I don't want to just jump in for 50 buck that I could potentially spend 10-20 hours playing when that much cash could get me a 100+ hour single player rpg on steam.

Wake me up when blizz drops a TLP.

Amen brother. Good guy Blizzard shuts down Nostalrius then refuses to run their own TLP/Legacy server despite offers from the Nost team to help them set it up. They had a 99% working vanilla server with all the code and shit.

[AzzarTheGod]

My appreciation of WoW had only to do with current context. Sorry if I gave the impression otherwise.

If you hadn't played since Cataclysm, and had taken a few years off, it was worth the purchase for the month of fun and shiny and new.

If you quit WoW between 1 to 3-4 years ago, yeah, probably skip.

they gave them a vanish and a blink

i'm done

someone just figured it out.

the refusal of p99 devs to properly GM the server has resulted in an absurd pixel hunt on a server that is TERMINATED at this era.

BDA would still be here, if the devs had the guts to properly gm the end game.


Since not, might as well shift to live for some fun and games.

Half the server is gonna be playing a beastlord heh. Most of them won't stick with it very long though so if you're in it for the long haul then i'd say go for it.

I'm rolling gnome SK for Luclin. Beastlords suck

[nostalgiaquest]

Question about phini - How's the server population? I'm playing from Japan so I'm always playing at the lowest pop times. 5PM here is 1AM PST. I don't really care about raiding, and probably couldn't simply do to time zone difference, so I'm just looking to level and enjoy myself.

P99 does that job pretty well, but I'm wondering how the other side looks?

[skarlorn]

Oh forgot to mention. If u care about raiding at all go Phinny. Raiding on P99 is the worst fucking thing u can ever imagine in a video game.

:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::eek:

[Pokesan]

BDA is and was the lifeblood of the RNF forum

its just too bad they suck at raiding

[nostalgiaquest]

You didn't answer my question.

What's average server pop during peak? during low pop times? All I see on the daybreak website is a bar comparing to other DB servers. Phini is the highest, but I'm looking for numbers. When I get home from work and want to play for 2-4 hours or whatever, will there be people to play with? P99 is currently in the 400-600 people range when I'm playing, which so far has been ok.

I don't care either way about the strict adherence to classic or whatever, I actually would prefer instance raids to the shit show I read about here. But like I said, raiding isn't what I'm after. I get a few hours here and there to play, and I'm looking to minimize lfg/forced solo time. If there's only 200 people on at low pop times, then it just might not be for me. I'd also be worried that luclin would further spread out the few folks that are on, making grouping that much harder.

Fuck the man and fuck punctuation

[nhdjoseywales]

DBG doesn't publicly advertise how many people are currently online. Sony never did either. Neither does Blizzard for WoW.etc its pretty standard. However I don't think it ever goes as low as 200. General chat caps out at 200 I think and its nearly always full and a lot of ppl dont even bother joining it.

fairly certain general caps at 400 but yes, usually full

fuck no it's not. beastlords suck at release. roll a money maker and come back to BL later.

[LostCause]

why would you roll a alt when you could be gearing main and getting aa that makes no sense.


also just got 1055 kronos.

[maskedmelon]

So, why in't phinny on server select? It have it own file set or something?

[mr_jon3s]

fuck no it's not. beastlords suck at release. roll a money maker and come back to BL later.

Phinny isn't classic Beastlords are probably gonna be overpowered at the start because as the game went on they buffed a lot about the beastlord but they don't revert the changes to luclin on Phinny.
