Brutal

[Jarhoul]

From the UI to dying ...

I just hit level 5 and I gots me some new druid spells. Time to go over the wall.

I see a yellow con and think to myself 'I gots me Burst Of Fire!, lets go kick some butt!.

20 seconds later, 'You have been slain by a Goblin Warrior', 'You have lost experience'.

WELCOME TO LEVEL 4!

Welcome?!? A nice snarky slap in the face I tell ya! :mad:


(oh and it happened twice within 10 mins .... :o)

It's one of the cruelest games ever made :D

Basically unless you are using certain mechanics such as bow kiting on ranger or are super twinked with high level gear, I would get the idea of ever killing yellow or red con mobs out of your head. Not at level 4, not at level 14, not at level 44, not ever. It’s just not worth it. Your spells will be resisted too much and if you are hit it will always be for max damage. I play a strong solo class like yours and I’m almost level 30 now having never killed a mob higher than blue con once. That means not even a white con. I just don’t see it as worth the risk. I had a couple attempts at whites/yellows where I had to gate or die and I made the decision to not even bother with white or higher cons anymore

After green released I remember BARELY.....BARELY being able to take on yellow-con tentacle terrors in Najena, and Malo was a requirement to get that root to stick. Not recommended unless one of the scenarios described above.

Low level necros: Hold my Cabilis pale ale

Generally good advice though unless you're in a full group (which is how EQ was designed to be enjoyed).

That'll teach you to avoid a challenge or strive for excellence.

lol noob

My first character was a warrior and I could always 1 v 1 solo yellows. My second character was a bard and he died all the time and I decided he was a garbage class.

I didn't realize that "berserker frenzy" was a warrior only thing I just knew that I usually came out on top if it was close at all on my warrior and the bard just died.

Noob life.

Don't forget that skeletons are undercons. It may say blue but sometimes that means yellow.

Lol true

I figured with reverse charm I could kill a white con when I was in my mid 20’s. I knew charm wouldn’t hold that long but I also knew that if I rammed the white con into a yellow con my pet would die fast anyway. It started out good, charm held until the white con was as low as I could get him (~10%). Root had held on the yellow as well

Then everything started going to shit. I invis to break charm and root the white. Go to nuke him dead and he resists AND root breaks off him. Ok re-root, try nuking him again, resist again. Root breaks off BOTH. I get HAMMERED. Finally get both rooted. Let’s try for that kill again. RESIST the nuke a third time, root breaks off the white one. At this point I’m at like 25% health after I can finally get him stunned and rerooted. I just say “F it”, I’m at the bottom of a dungeon I’m not dying here and I gate. That was the last white con mob I tried to do lol

i am new and i stay on max. blue :)

Eq makes you die a lot but I think it makes the world more of a world and not a game. I quit EQ early on.

Probably saying something like, "This game is stupid! Who would care about a game that is just made to make you die! This is no skill!"

But after 20 years here I am. I hope I can encourage you to stay or keep playing if you ever decide the game is not for you.

Druid is really the only class pre 50 or so that can solo deep reds reliably. Boring AF though and not possible for druids until level 14.

You have people here who have literally called others the n word and disparagingly calling people Jews in full on antisemitic posts who aren't banned. The banning seems lax, to say the least. And it's not just forums either. Got guilds like Seal Team who get to break rules and grief the entire server even who only get slaps on the wrist.

Coming from the over-moderated classic WoW forums I don't mind less moderation. I also don't mind someone occasionally busting my balls. I am so used to 50% of the world hating my very being for my politics that if there was ever a moment where everyone liked me, I would find it highly uncomfortable

[DMN]

Wait... if you think calling someone a jew is a slur... doesn't that make you anti-semitic?

Maybe you should learn what the word disparagingly means. And maybe you should learn to not ignore context or not finish reading a sentence. They were called a Jew while explicitly being insulted with negative Jewish stereotypes. Or don't and stay ignorant. Doesn't make a difference to me.

Relax. S'ok. I don't judge. I'm told that p99 is crawling with notzees for you to cavort around with.

Snortle Chortles is a known psychopath and drug addict - I was kind of teasing he should be banned.

He and I go way back (((HEeHeeHee)))
