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

It's a premium server pay a sub or consume a krono on one of the non-premium servers

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.



Phinny is the most popular Live EQ server, period. The General chat caps out at 400 pretty much all day.

There's at least 15 raiding guilds that have cleared all of Velious - that's 1500-3000 people right there, and tons more active raid guilds and casual guilds.

I traded a RBG for a set of Rubicite on P99, because I know the importance of FashionQuest. I don't play live. I just want to hear more about the boxing and pay to win, because I don't think the point has been made enough about it. It needs to be repeated some more.

Krono can be purchased directly from Daybreak or you can get them in game via trades from other players. Right now a krono is worth between 4500-5000p on Phinny. On your character you can consume a krono and it automatically gets you 30 days of game subscription.

Luclin drops tomorrow. BDA is on a raid break until Monday. We'll be grinding AAs, collecting VT shards, and working on bane weapons. It's a great time for people to start playing because once you're level 40 you can group with all the people working on AAs. Groups will be everywhere.

Honestly - Bane weapons really aren't worth your time on a progression server.

LiS and Emperor each can be killed exclusively with pet and spell DPS. LiS even easier with charmed pets.

I'd focus way more on those AAs and VT shards!

I'd suspect that most guilds are super light on caster DPS, because casters can't solo you don't see too many of them. Also, raid mobs still have Mitigation of the Mighty and Mark of the Old Ways to contend with so I don't think it's viable to just rely on casters/pets.

The good thing though is that there's picks of zones (so you'll see like 10 instances of ssra) and higher drop rates for stuff like VT key pieces and things of that nature. It won't be that bad.

I remember bane weapons being a major time sink. Worse than the shards. I would wager, only worthwhile to get a few select chars bane items at first.

Personally, I think it would be an interesting thing to go straight for an emp attempt asap. Strats so well known, can likely be done with a well-rounded raid force with velious gear alone.

Then VT changes everyone's gear profile. Fast.

Going troll, new model trolls look so damn cool, all full of worts and with leather on they look like swamp monsters

Speaking of BST, time to go home, nothing productive got done at work except forum lurking.



And yes kushie, the dald and crew should come play here, can always still play p99 and play on phinny. just instead of rolling that alt # 5 join the fun

I'm super salty they nerfed the classic troll alligator pet. Replacing it with some 6-legged basilisk.

Eh I'm mostly done rolling Alts, I just log in for raids where I'm probably needed if I hear something important popped.

Playing a lot on the TAK server. That limited boxing and classic client is so immersive.

I'm eager to hear about BDA's progress in Luclin though!

Sirken is right. It's a server attempting to emulate the Mac server that SoE shut down 3 years ago.

Has a super classic client, with many of the classic limitations that add challenge and impede quick gameplay that the Titanium client does not have. Things like scroll wheel to 3rd person, mana value in your inventory window and cycle NPC/PC target hotkeys aren't available. They completely change how say an enchanter might play the game.

It's on Velious right now but will make its way up through PoP.

BDA wasn't getting enough raid mobs or pixels so they packed up and left for their instanced EQ where nobody will bother them.
This is why they couldn't hang?

And the other guilds are getting enough raid mobs and pixels here as evidenced by all of the around the clock poopsocking and incessant petitions and RnF threads over the few raid mobs that do spawn?

You make a strong case.

Do you have graphical issues with the client? Everyone's legs are fused together for me and it's got some noticeable hitching going on..

Yea load times aren't a thing, its fantastic.

The pixel-cluster that you're referring to I've yet to figure out how to resolve. Had that issue since 2012 on Al'Kabor. I can imagine it would be absolutely horrible on a melee toon but its not too bad on a caster though since you aren't up close with tons of people.

For sure EQ group content isn't super hard, but I think maybe you've spent a bit too much time on Project 1999.

Upper guk with a 6-man group in banded and fine steel longswords doesn't feel as trivial. Or Seb Chef/Bar with a group of L55ish, 21% haste, half the kunark spells missing, etc.

Yea if you don't get what's happening it's tough.

Pull and kill merchant Shei who is a joke, Respawns as permarooted Shei in center of room.


When aggroed 4 shade adds spawn, mix of unmezzable but slowable and slowable but unmezzable. Enchanter's lock down what you can, SKs and Paladin's offtank the unmezzables. I believe this process repeats itself every 2-4 minutes or so? Hope you got your CC game strong.
20k DD procs on the tank every 2 minutes force tank swaps, you can eat the first with DA.
The majority of the room has a mana drain aura, I believe we put casters on the stairs behind Shei? There may be a better place to avoid the mana drain.
Every death spawns a random add with the same attributes as above. Don't Zerg and die lots.


If this fight were introduced to P99 right now every guild would wipe because Offtanking and mez CC isn't even a thing.

Man AAs and Luclin on P99 could you imagine?

Would be so good.


No more dealing with resellers in EC, just set and forget in the Bazaar.
People playing their main's to get AAs to improve them further.
PBAE cap raised because Luclin classicly had 50-100 PBAE groups happening in the Grey, and Acrylia Caverns for them AAs.
Raid content like described above where you actually need a real strategy and some prep, you can't just pull it to entrance or zoneline with some gimmick.
Raid content that takes a 20-30minute to down, so guilds actually have to pick and choose their targets rather than trying to cover it all.
Raid content that doesn't need a 24/7 tracker just a spot checker to find out if it's up and then mobilize.
Tradeskills are useful for Earring of Solstice quest and upgraded BD Cultural
Spell Focus Effects come into game and casters actually have a reason to gear.
Flowing Thought stacks up to 15
The LawyerQuest when a guild leapfrogs in Ssra or AH or VT... Mmm so delicious.

09-29-2016, 10:16 AM
I don't screenshare or race. I refuse to.

You're trying to pull a red herring fallacy on me. Just because racing on p99 is tedious doesn't make grinding AAs appealing. I'd rather sit on my 7th warrior alt and do out of the way quests for 2nd best gear that I know won't be totally useless in 3 months when the next expansion rolls around. Right now i'm casually leveling my ranger, he's got a bunch of quested gear and I just need a small raid force to finish up Garzikor for my monk. All these are unique quests I never got to do on live because the expansions were released in such rapid succession that they were never worth doing.

I'm not familiar with the details all this, but I wonder if Luclin/POP will be the start of the hardcores and casuals separating. I imagine getting all of the relevant AAs before Planes of Power will require a good bit of grinding. Combined with more and more challenging raid content and it starts to sound like a serious workload.

And I agree with both of you guys. I'd love to see Luclin on Project 1999 at a slower pace.

Daldaen
09-29-2016, 10:56 AM
Wtf?

It's designed to force your Enchanter's to mez lock, and your Paladin's and Shadowknights to actually have to offtank something.

I forget if there was any indicator in the mobs name or models that tell you whether the mob is slowable or mezzable. I seem to recall it being mostly guess and check.

@Raev yes it was a good encounter because everyone actually had to do their classes role. Unlike Velious where Enchanter's can't mez anything and pulls are basically single making knights not have to tank.

Luclin and PoP definitely stretched out the raiding field. Any old guild can kill a ToV dragon once you've got it isolated and single. Slow and CH rot, the only challenge is getting it single, which due to some unclassic factors is stupidly easy on P99.

But come Luclin the environment stops being the huge challenge and that challenge gets put into the individual raid mobs. Especially in the case of scripted events like Shei, Emperor, High Priest, Thought Horror Overfiend, etc.

Emperor and High Priest are another two sets of fights that have a mix of adds that require some be mezzed and some be held off tanked otherwise they respawn quickly. High Priest is the only event I can think of other than Agnarr in BoT where the Disintegration line of spells actually had a use.

Man I remember on live when Luclin launched (I played on TZ) our guild found an exploit in Katta Castellum. There was a small ridge you could pull mobs to and PBAE them, but they couldn't hit you. They'd just perpetually run into the wall. Needless to say we exploited a fuckton of AAs til one night all 30 of us starting dying one by one. Turns out a GM was us, DTed us all, and informed us that if we were ever seen doing it again wed be permabanned no questions asked. Lol.

The once POP opened you had a massive resurgence of AE groups mainly in the planes of nightmare and fire. You'd cast a high level slow on a Warrior with max weapon affinity (increased procreate) AAs who was wielding an Earthshakers. With the he slow and AAs you'd process basically every attack and just level massive waves of mobs.

AAs filled in extremely fast using this strategy....especially once you were ele. flagged and AEing po fire.

Ya there's some folks that took time off work and/or haven't slept with 50+ AAs already. I grinded AAs for like 2 hours on Wednedsay and another 5 on Thursday which netted like 15AAs. Min/Max grind style can get you 3-4 an hour but like Oleris said people wanted to get into Luclin so exp is a touch slower. You can VT shard farm, get some spells, and get AAs in Luclin so it's win/win.

I suppose it shouldn't be surprising in hindsight that in an ezmode version of EQ where L60 rogues and monks do 300 DPS AAs go fast.

Raev
09-30-2016, 01:59 PM
Thinking about this more, this isn't surprising at all. After all, the raid targets needed all these Mighty bonuses to make up for the nonclassic game mechanics engine. Logically, if the normal content doesn't get those bonuses then you'll just steamroll it.

I'm glad I didn't seriously try Phinny. Raiding is OK, but group content is the best part of EQ IMO (not surprising, as it was intended as a group game originally). When I see people doing Upper Guk at L15 with 1500 HP and hitting for 100 with a 5 damage weapon, that's just pretty sad.

Surviving a fight isn't an issue, neither is pulling. Coming into Luclin with some sick Velious gear means I don't need to augment my mitigation with those AAs. The biggest difference a person can make to a raid is shortening the raid. Killing shit faster will be paramount.

On a sensible server just apply more rogues.

I don't get why you think the group game is the most attractive / fun aspect of EQ Raev.

I do agree zerging out fully slowable dragons with 90 people isn't really fun. But that's about as easy as basically every 6-man group content in Kunark and Velious. *Maybe* Siren's Grotto can be an exception to this and even then with a decent mixup and not being dumb it's trivial.

Doing content for the number it's actually designed for... Groups with 6, raids with 50-60, on most content it's a joke and just falls over with less than stellar execution.

But Luclin and PoP added raid content where even with 50-60 raiders you need everyone to actually pull their weight because in some cases the weakest link wipes your raid. Unfortunately those sorts of fights don't exist outside of perhap bugged no Sontalak and no one bothers with him because the reward doesn't warrant the cost.

but pure eq is dead. has been for years. Phiny is decent, p99 is decent, hell, even eq2 was alright for a while.

But everything is a compromise now. p99 is a compromise, phinny is a compromise. i will say, imho phinny seems a hella lot better than fippy, the last live server dabbled in.

At this point, it is about, are these compromises fun?

We play this game for the nostalgia. It's impossible to recreate pure EQ for so many reasons thatve been stated across the boards. In summary, it's 2016, we all have 20-200+ Mbps, all data and all quests are documented, were no longer 14, etc. I don't play on Phinny, but the compromise looks pretty damn fun, and I like to hear about it. Eq progression is fun, socking and competition is fun for a period of time then it just becomes stressful and tiresome. Instancing looks like it's been a great addition.

I'm more salty you microtransactioned those weapon augments.

So what's the state of Maiden's Eye right now? Cause that is probably the biggest bottleneck shard being that only 5 named in the zone drop it.

We used to have bards kite the entire zone and reverse charm kill the PHers and named, was super easy to farm it that way but if there's a group on each spawn that would be hell.

Weapon ornaments are fashion mandatory only because Nature's Melody looks stupid without. Weapon augments only cost 500pp. The ornaments were like 2-3 bucks, no sweat.

Basically there is a solo Tree camp and the 4 named rock camp for ME shards right now. I was at the solo Goranga Seer tree for 3 hours last night with no spawns. AoE kiting + charm is the best method for me solo. I can literally kill 30-40 goranga without any downtime.

ME is the biggest bottleneck so far, BDA starts raiding Luclin next week.

I look at an expac launch a lot like actually discovering a new continent. There will be a period of colonialism where competition for resources will be high and at times not pretty. After a time borders become more firm and former enemies engage in trade and co-operation for mutual benefit.

Did we ks some folks and make it hard for other folks to get keyed for vp? yeah, probably. do we enjoy a friendly dps race here and there? yes we do.are we the type of shitbags that would watch another guild kill statue and idol then ks them on aow or the type that watches a guild clear ntov and then ks their vulak? nah, that's not who we are.
