Nobody has to go to those lengths to impress the loot council anymore.

In fact its probably the opposite given that Phinny's population is falling like coyote off the cliff in Road Runner (with sound effects).

[Daldaen]

Pro tip for those Phinigel players who are Qvic flagged. The Inkt'uta instance has a 2hour request lockout. This is advanced 1 day for defeating Keledrix and 5 days for defeating Noqufiel.

But if you're going to do Inkt'uta as a guild every 7 days you have a 2-day period where you are not locked out and can farm the front named, Nijacka the Scourge, for Muramite armor. So long as you just kill him and trash you can request the instance every 2 hours and have a pretty good chance of getting 1 armor piece off of him.

Takes about 1 tank, 2 healers, 1 pulled and 2-3 DPS to kill him. Great little group target you can do to advance your characters. Love some GoD content.

[Valakut]

pro tip for those agnarr players..

quit

[Daldaen]

Raided some Uqua, Inkt'uta and Tacvi last night. Acquired some pixels. Parses over 1k DPS on the short burn fight Shaldn Boc. Druids so powerful $$$. Love GoD. OoW gonna be even better with Epic 1.5/2.0s and CoA Aug runs.

Its very easy if people pay attention. Hardest part in the whole expansion is Tacvi trash.

[rebeccablack]

im pretty jealous of you bros who are getting to experience mpg trials and anguish for the first time in a few months. as maligned as post-PoP eq is around here, OoW was a top tier raid expansion.

[Daldaen]

I'm a big fan. It gives a few different flavors of raids.

Ikkinz is a pay attention to the text and figure shit out (you can skip the later by going to allakhazam).

Uqua is a "don't bring any idiots with you, or they wipe you". I love weakest link raids, let's you trim the fat and kick out awful people.

Inkt'uta is a little "don't bring the idiots" but mostly just some very weird events. Makes you have to change strategies especially for Stonemites and Cursecallers. Both of those events can be done with your standard tank and spank strategy, splitting up raid or you can get more clever and do it much safer/cleaner. Like stonemites 4 baller monks/SKs/Bards can do the event and save you splitting up into crews and clearing in. Cursecallers clever use of taunt or pets can trivialize certain aspects. Same with Noqufiel.

Txevu... mostly everything's a fairly boring tank/spank except Ukun Bloodfeaster and ZunMuram Tkarish Zyk. I guess the Runt was a cool event to start when you get to select a champion. Was way different when you weren't 100% flush in Time gear though. The Ukun event is incredible, requires actual CC Coordination. If you fail at that you wipe horribly. ZunMuram is easily the hardest event in the expansion and the most unique. Has a little bit of everything that gets everyone in the raid engaged in some capacity.

Tacvi... The north snake is definitely hardest event, but most except Yihst Vor and Shaldn Boc are interesting events. Superb use of trash. I favor Tacvi trash to any other style of trash, just a few and they actually make you pay attention. Tunat is sort of a let down of an event you can just DPS faceroll through, but Balance Zun, Racecar, South and North snake make up for it.

[Daldaen]

11 guilds have defeated Tacvi, 17 guilds have entered Txevu, 19 guilds have enters Qvic (defeating Uqua and Ikkinz 4).

Starting to get into expansions that begin to separate the tiers of guilds. OoW and DoN people will equalize back in and then in DoDH you should see another big drop off as guilds fail to do Sendaii, Draygun, Hatchet, Performer and Mayong. Love the more complex events in these later expansions.

Feels good to raid on a server with 20~ relevant guilds.

.

The stonemite event we just sent in rogues to clear the traps and ran the whole raid in cleared everything dropped off an FD class or a rogue at each spot cleared to the loot room and had them all say phrase. For the cursecallers one of our clerics nuked one of those DT mobs and it died. So next time we're gonna try having our clerics nuke the DT mobs while we kill the 6 cursecallers.

I like GoD so far. Chest is just mad he didn't play last week and has to backflag.

You playin' on Agnarr by chance?

[Kushie]

BDA is in Tacvi, we needed Chest to lead us to victory

[Daldaen]

Very exciting to see BDA crushing through GoD content. Tacvi is like half loot piñata, a quarter dumb events and a quarter great events.

Great expansion though. OoW is even better, can't wait to do some Epics, MPG Trials, and CoA Augment runs.

Meh Tacvi...

CoA Augment runs? I faintly remember this.. explain?

[Daldaen]

After killing about 40-50 trash mobs in Anguish, this generally happens around the first staircase/Jelvan, a zonewide emote will go out letting you know some commanders activated.

There's a total of 5. One at Keldovan, one before first stair case, two at the cubbies before forth staircase, and one in the hallway outside of Hanvar. They all have a chance to spawn either a mini named or a PH. Typically you will see 2-3 named and 2-3 PHer, but it's all RNG.

Each named drops 1 of 11 augments. Nine Augs are 90/90 HP/Mana typically with 3-4 Heroic. Two Augs are 125/150 and 150/125 with no heroics.

The DZlockout is 2 hours from triggering it and you can do this with the rest of CoA locked out. So you can clear Anguish and then drop DZ come back 2 hours later and do it again only for the aug droppers.

They're a difficult 1-group target. Normal players use 2~ groups to speed up the clear and make the minis easier fights.

What is this game you are describing? I never heard of such things.

[AzzarTheGod]

So phinigel is already past any content I have ever heard of

Who u to know? Omens breaks ass everybody played it who was anyone dawg where u at

[AzzarTheGod]

Omens was like the last expac the late-stayers played.

After Omens most people called it a wrap and didn't bother with the next major raid expansion or check for it. We all relocated to WoW permanently.

Omens was the "alright thats it, we've seen all EQ has to offer" expac for the majority of us.

i can respek that

[Daldaen]

Plenty of excellent content post-OoW.

DoN progression is fun to run through, plus the raids are good, specifically Rikki, Kessdonna, YarLir and Vishimtar. The Yar Lir / Vishimtar eye quest was an incredible addition to the game. I love class specific items with unique clickies. Pinnacle of EQ Itemization right there.

DoDH was an incredible expansion. Specifically the 5 mission chains leading to the resist clicky mask. Dreadspire access quest was great. Spligear aug have everyone a good Augment without having to grind through LDoN. This was also the expansion that released a ton of incredible spells 68-70 for all classes. Not to mention the raid content. Draygun/Sendaii before DemiPlane. Redfang, Hatchet and Sisters in Tier 1, Performer in Tier 2 and the Master in Tier 3. Really the final boss of Demiplane felt like the first true final boss fight since Ring of Vulak in Velious. Very long script, with many variants based on class makeup, plus the surprise midway through is incredible.

PoR I think most everyone hated. I only did Deathknell a handful of times but I found it fun.

TSS was the last full expansion with 1-75 content and a new race for EQ. If anyone is a classic EQ player this is the expansion to jump in during. New zones and dungeons 1-75, with very indepth quests and quest chains to follow you through your leveling up process.

I was part of this crowd. It took a few months but I ended up playing WoW. A friend bought me the copy and told me to get back to gaming.

I did like the start of OoW. I did have a lot of fun with it but, ya ^^^ is exactly how I felt. EQ died for me, until I found Shards of Dalaya, then later heard about P99.

[dafier]

Dald,

When was Mayong event introduced. I'm not talking about the GM playing Mayong in classic. Supposedly MM event/raid or whatever you want to call it was released.

I watched it on youtube and it looked really cool. I always liked the whole backstory on MM.

[Daldaen]

Mayong is sort of a running joke as an overused foe because you fight him multiple times.

In Demiplane he is the final boss. The NPC is called the master until halfway through the event it is revealed his is Mayong. Fantastic event. Like 8 mini bosses in the script before, classes are paired up with similar classes and have Bane items given to them during each of the Tier 2 Demiplane events and those banes can be used at different points in the fight to do different things. So if you have a raid stacked with Wizards you can use their banes in a certain strategy to blow up some mini or phase of Mayong, whereas another guild may be stacked with mages and can let you skip a certain mini or certain phase etc. Fantastic encounter, 10/10.

Three expansions later, in Solteris you face him again as part of the "Two Gods" event which is the final raid of the expansion. You face off against Mayong and Solusek Ro. Great event btw!

Then again you face him during the Tower of Frozen Shadows anniversary raid where him and Tserrina have some lovers quarrel, again the final boss of that raid.

[dafier]

Wow. That's awesome. The videos I saw on youtube were pretty cool and it looks like if you mess up on certain things he can easily wipe the raid.

Thanks for the insight.

Wasn't even close to being washed out. We mauled it, albeit at our own pace (like always) It always takes us longer because we don't practice our strats in the beta. The expansion hits and we try to figure it out as we go which is way more fun imo.

What? It clearly shows Phinigel has 20 active guilds clearing Gates of Discord within the last 2 weeks, compared to 13 on Agnarr completing Classic.

[Kagey]

^^
Any lots of those guilds haven't updated kill score. There is a few more (3?) that are clearing tacvi now.

[Man0warr]

Yea we finished Tacvi already but the guy who does the updating is slow.

[raato]

Some guilds don't bother with updating such kill lists, since it doesn't matter to them. For Agnarr atleast all you need is full zerg raid of 72 players in rags and handfull of people who know what to do to be able to complete classic, so if something it only tells which guilds were mass recruiting from the server start without any requirements and you can really see that in group content, so many assholes and unskilled players among those "top" guilds.

[MonkLife]

What? It clearly shows Phinigel has 20 active guilds clearing Gates of Discord within the last 2 weeks, compared to 13 on Agnarr completing Classic.

It shows 14 completing it on Agnarr. How many guilds did the same on Phinigel? 9.

Why would we compare GoD era Phinigel when it's had years to develop as a server community to Classic era Agnarr which has had 11 weeks to develop? Seems more logical to compare classic to classic.

Are you going to imply that the expansion which was just beaten in six hours has a high skill benchmark? No one is claiming that classic raids are a feat of dexterity and skill but let's not pretend like so much changed by Gates.

Because that's never been the line of logic anyone has put forth until you? The standard argument is a TLP has its highest population from launch thru planes of power then drops off significantly from GoD on. Agnarr it could be argued had the strongest population rush due to players from p99 coming over and krono farmers who perfected techniques on Phinny flocking there. In that light its quite impressive that Phinny still has a strong raid population.

[nhdjoseywales]

Because things in classic insta wipe the raid if someone touches the wrong thing? Classic is only challenging because of random 100k hits from bees and silly shit like that. Gates actually requires you to not be a retard. Gates was beaten quickly because there just isn't a lot of content, not because its ridiculously easy.

Gates of discord is ridiculously easy. Lay off the drugs.

[Daldaen]

Can't wait for OoW. The uber casual guilds will crumble to Simon says, Jelvan and OMM.

Dunno how quickly a guild will get the necessary 30~ Signets completed. I think all 6 trials are winnable at level 66 on expansion launch with a solid raid though.

I estimate 2-3 days to expansion defeat by the Neckbeards, 7~ for the hardcore and everyone else filtering in behind that.

Vishimtar will punish some casual guilds come DoN, but DoN is largely a joke. DoDH is where it will really heat up. Demiplane will separate the men from boys. Casuals will continue to farm CoA forever and struggle to even beat Sendaii and Draygun.

Man Level 70 EQ expansions were probably the best time period of EQ.

So we'll add that to the "reasons why you don't want to play on an aging TLP server" list. Daybreak probably not getting many active "paying" subs at this point so start nuking the kronos, good job - keep playing.

Maybe we should have a $1 sweepstake on the exact day Phinny gets pulled down by Daybreak and merges the player base into somewhere else :o

Maybe they should create a garbage pile server for washed up old characters from the various dead pop TLP servers nobody plays on anymore. The taverns will be full of people with stories nobody wants to hear about a server first that everyone else forgot :o

trying to do this hasten jboot turn in but hasten doesn't have classic pathing. instead he spawns literally right in the middle of the neckbeard dumpster fire that is the hill giant camp. and since most of the people who spend significant amounts of time there have low self esteem they option to kill hasten for no reason and then laugh in ooc at the 3 people asking if hes up. went ahead and tried to file a petition so maybe we can get some semblance of order but the longer i play on DBG servers the more i am convinced they do not care about their player base or their reputation.

Picked up a few upgrades out of Tacvi and Ikkinz 4 last night. Much fun was had in GoD. OoW is coming soon, join while you can to get in on the excellent level 70 raiding expansions. Probably some of the best raids came out of those expansions.

[arsenalpow]

GoD is fairly challenging for us mainly because we're under the cap each night. The fights still annoy me though because they're so gimmicky. Like the NASCAR fight in Tacvi is just stupid.

Heres how you do the fight. Take him to 90% he splits you kill the split I would suggest kite one while killing the other. Hes now at 70% and he splits into 3 mobs. Repeat the first step. Hes at 50% and splits into 4. Repeat and hes now at 30% hp. Final phase he spawn 2 so just kite them and kill him.

In other news on Agnarr I sat at ass/sup for 4 hours and when the dude left he passes me the camp. Immediately a group of boxers pops in and steals the camp. I killed the first 2 mobs but didn't have the firepower to fight being ks'ed. This is the type of behavior Daybreak Games encourages.

On project 1999 the open world is safe and the raid scene is where you get cucked. On daybreak servers the open world is where you get cucked and the raid scene is safe.

It's just a manpower issue. Daybreak might have less active GMs than P99 - so they setup instances for raids (where most of the playerbase spends it's time) and mostly ignore non-serious complaints.

I was convinced Lesner was going to drop the strap to Strowman or Reigns from Undertaker f#cking him over. I had read reports that Undertaker was seen on a plane from Houston, TX to NYC the day before Summerslam, so he was definitely there but did not participate. Also not sure how I feel about Ambrose and Seth getting back together and immediately becoming tag champs. Balor is also a cuck and I hope he gets booted back to NXT.

Balor is fun, stop hating. Roode got a mega pop last night in his debut.

[Daldaen]

Necromancers get an enormous power gain in PoP. Epic is a flat 8% DoT crit chance that stacks with your Critical Affliction AA line. The OoW Robe is a 36s (extends to 54s) buff with 5min reuse that increases your DoT Crit chance by 40%. So between all of those during a burn you are rolling around 60% DoT crit chance and when you are stacking 5-6 DoTs plus you have a bard you can do some incredible damage and your mana is pretty limitless with Lich and eventually Blood Magic.

Wizards get some okay power gains in OoW. It isn't really until Ethereals and Twincast that wizards just blow everyone else away though.

OoW launch is less than a month away everyone. Probably one of the most indepth expansions, likely behind TSS.

Epic 1.5/2.0s, some good raids in MPG, CoA and RSS, fun Group trials that don't just fall over, decent tradeskill addition. I'm looking forward to the fresh content. GoD has been fun though. Did many quests in era I didn't get a chance to back in the day.

[Kushie]

I'm not really looking forward to Post-OoW. I feel like OoW will be the peak of fun on Phini.

GoD is pretty fun though, i am glad i got to re-experience it. Tacvi farming is kinda boring but Texvu and Inkta'tu are challenging and fun

[radda]

Does Uuruk still suck Dima's cock? just curious.

I'm sure he does like many before him

[Daldaen]

I think my favorite time period is level 70 expansions. Mostly because inflation of focuses, HME and weapon ratios wasn't too absurd. So you had 4-5 expansions worth of content to work with both for grouping and raiding.

You've got Tacvi, Anguish (maybe RSS/MPG Raids), Vishimtar/YarLir (maybe Kessdona/Rikkikun), Demiplane (maybe 5 Blood raids/Vule), Razorthorn, Sverag, Deathknell (maybe Daosheen/Relic Dragons and Theatre of Blood minis).

For grouping PoFire and PoWater stay decent even at level 70, plus you've got Tipt/Vxed as well as Yxtta, KT and Qvic for grinding in GoD. OoW has MPG and RSS. DoN has a few group missions you can flip like Creator. DoDH has a few decent group missions like 69.1 for grinding. RoI + Dreadspire both are decent exp grind zones as well. PoR didn't really have much in the way of repeatable group content but the other expansions make up for it.

Plus during this era almost everyone still uses their epic 2.0/2.5. I was always a fan of this because everyone looks somewhat similar in their weaponry.

[dafier]

I spent many hours in Tipt and Qvic grinding. Fun...lots of fun.

[AzzarTheGod]

I'm sure he does like many before him

*scopes radda's Brand New CD*

No AoC for OoW. So MPG Anguish and Tacvi are gonna be the raid targets in Omens with 1.5/2.0 when you can find the mobs up.

No AoC for OoW. So MPG Anguish and Tacvi are gonna be the raid targets in Omens with 1.5/2.0 when you can find the mobs up.

Almost all epic 1.5/2.0 mobs and fights respawn in 1-2 hours. In addition, on the Quarm server which had load balancing for these zones, the trigger mobs for these raids spawned in picks.

Most guilds will raid Anguish 1 day, a few MPG trials another day and Tacvi a third day.

More hardcore guilds will do Anguish splits 1 day, MPG trials another day, Tacvi and Txevu Zun/Inkt'uta/Qvic for BiC shards a third day and epic fights a forth day.

After DoN launches you probably drop some GoD or MPG trials in favor of 2-4 dragon raids.

How many people who tried TLP servers quit because of that stuff, and would spending a little on CSR have helped them retain more players? I wonder.

Did you try to train them? What about break their mezzes, or dispel their roots and charms? Did you perhaps try charming and weaponizing mobs of your own then training them with them. Did you try to out DPS them? What about stealing aggro and running off with a mob of theirs before gating?

All of these are options on TLPs. It's great. Don't have to worry about camps or GMs, just playing some good old EQ.

[Swish]

Probably don't need to worry about retaining players when they have two successful TLPs going right now with thousands of players. Stick to being the spokesperson for your dead 20 population server.

Well, 1 successful TLP really...Phinny is bleeding players as we know :o

Also some people just don't give a shit about seeing DoD/SoF/Rain of Fear and other content that SOE put out after EQ went bad. Sorry to be the guy that says this, but erm.. the population loss is terminal. You're not going to make it to House of Thule/Underfoot era stuff. Sorry pal.

Now, tell me how BDA is coping with this...after not being able to gather a max raid force. I suppose you can break tradition and do more with less for a while at least if you've got some good players that never played on P99.

nice fuckin server idiot.

pretty solid dunks. not even sure raid mobs are killable on red outside of the Kunark type of Velious encounters. The true Velious raids are only done via illegal 2-boxing and rulebreaking which they ignore because they feel bad for red.

my best guess is to say you are being "harassed" and then build the argument around that. never mention the actual camp itself. just mention the player actions that are triggering you.

Hey i was curious for you guys that played tlp... how big of a deal is it to basically skip vp in era? A for a friend... on agnarr.

[Daldaen]

VP loot is largely horrible.

All of the weapons are replaced in Velious quite easily. The remaining clickies of value are:

DMF Robe - Not a big deal because group DMF is eventually researchable and TGB.
Burnout Robe - Velious pants replace, and Burnout 4/Ancient/5.
Charm Staff - Really only useful pre-Velious when LoM
Soul Well Staff - Useful probably until PoP when it stops being worth the time to click.
Lure Stick - Okay but with Luclin FT and PoP very useless.
SoW Sword - Useful through life of server, can get Seru boots or Khati sha earring instead come Luclin.

Beyond that it's Phara Dar pixels.

Robe - Good but HoT BPs and Vulak Robe are comparable/better. Tons of upgrades in Luclin.
Crown - Good but a few Velious upgrades
Shroud - Decent through Luclin. Quite a few FT4+ back items you couldn't get but Improved Healing 3 is basically only available on an Acrylia Caverns raid event Cloak which is more or less equivalent.
Earring - Not bad, but easily replaced in Luclin

In summary, all replaced by Luclin and you never will get updated VP so I wouldn't worry about it. Great zone for farming spells though.

also, i guess they have been griefing players 24/7 doing some really heinous shit and DBG GMs give zero fucks.

it is quite interesting to note the shenanigans that are possible when the player base is so overcrowded especially early into the progression.

how can you have a 9 week progression server where the GMs allow massive griefing for half of the expansion if not the entire? the population is going to bleed off before the trolls move on and then your stuck in a empty world with a few boxers and mgbs with your only real option to pay krono for power leveling. so the trolls win the short con and the long con.

There were def people using showeq and that other program back in the day. i'd be willing to bet you my next paycheck there are people using it on p99 also using a linux box and a hub.

i agree that agnarr is pretty fascinating. the farmers figured out their strats on phinny and ate the newbies up on agnarr. I think the fast unlock cycle intensifies the problem. Farmers know people are desperate to do content in era and a short period really ups the amount people are willing to pay for in era items even though it seems counter intuitive. Take VP for instance. folks are going fucking nuts about that key but the gear for the most part sucks. sure its good for the era but the era is itemized like shit and nothing is really "good" for more than an expac or so. once velious drops you will never go back to VP so i would just ride that shit out. i guess if you really need to experience a dual wielding Druushk you could go punch yourself in the balls for an hour, i think it feels similar

im not sure how much of the pop will bleed off really. you just have to make it thru 9 weeks of kunark and the farmers aren't nearly as much of an issue. Things will get squirrely again in luclin but as long as you have a manaburn friend for maidens you should be ok.

this whole situation makes me doubt the viability of green99. regardless of actual length of a given era if it is monopolized by trolls and hackers then it cannot be considered classic. i've done at least 5 petitions and it's always replied by the same GM with the same prefill template response. i think we've seen so many mmos fail due to lack of content but when content is not an issue it appears adequate server staff is the next hurdle. i wonder if the f2p mmo model is fatally flawed due to that reason.

i guess it's an evolution of the f2p with primary revenue coming from the in game cash shop with reliance on a small player base.

the nominal fee to get on the premium server is nothing more than an complex captcha considering the effectiveness of hacks and scams and the lack of repercussions

You cannot transfer to or from the Phinigel server right now.

You must start fresh. Which isn't too terribly bad now a days people are still rolling Alts and new characters all the time and the group EXP bonus on the server encourages them to invite any random to their group to benefit their own EXP gain.

KSing isnt a bad thing on TLP servers, all mobs are fair game for DPS racing. Dont waste your time petitioning it.

I know everyone used to love to hate on p99 GMs but these guys been doing this shit on the TLP servers for months and it's business as usual.

After a recent petition for KSing a quest mob the GMs awarded the KSed player with the item he was seeking but also allowed the KSer to keep their item and not face any discipline.

is there an underwater part of the zone you could get them to warp to and drown?

[nhdjoseywales]

We didnt have that to deal with on Phinny . We had people train the drop spots, loot multiples til they made them no destroy, and a lot of autoclickers. I knew people who used harry potter maps and automation for boxes but i never saw anyone dumb enough to warp in front of other people.

AoS has a much higher douchebag ratio though. We'll all be farming Anguish regardless.

How many shoeys on Phinny?

Guild did MPG trial on test. People do enough dps to just ignore simon says.

[Daldaen]

Yea they seriously need to remove the Innate DPS AAs that Melee get and tune back caster Nukes a bit. The DPS levels really could use halving.

I wonder when class balance got so thoroughly wrecked (relative to mobs not each other). It wasnt like this in 2004.

Tweaks and patches over the last 15 years for the Live game. Too much work for the now current Daybreak devs to undo said changes for a specific ruleset. That's what Mark of the Mighty and such were for in the earlier expansions, but that's gone now with GoD.

"I'm playing for nostaglia" - said nobody still subscribed on the live servers. Its just a Daybreak cash cow that only exists as long as they can keep milking it.

When's the next TLP? That should finish off Phinny for good as the shit expansions have already hit :o

This message is hidden because Swish is on your ignore list.

the real reason god flooded Houston?

[Swish]

There are more raiding guilds on phinny than here. Why are you so dumb I don't get it?

Reall? On a server with a bigger population there's more raiding guilds?

Holy shit.

[Swish]

But you stated "that should finish off phinny"

There is currently a TLP server in Kunark and general chat on phinny is still full and we are at the end of an expansion. A new expansion drops next week. When does Luclin, Chardok 2.0 or discord come out again here?

Goals right there, general chat still has what... 300 people max? Goals.

[Swish]

My mistake, so its not dead as long as there's 400 people in general chat. Got it.

Swish winding up for his next ban?

Where's the ban going to come from? Hurting Uuruk's feelings?
