![]() 70+ people in zone, led by highest ranking guild on server with other competitive guilds joining in, decades of combined EQ knowledge, and still I saw a massive failure of this stupid quest.
Imagine 70+ people in zone in 2001 on dial up. People going linkdead on every new giant spawn. No knowledge of how to cc giants, where they are spawning or what comes next. Most importantly the amount of level 60 Enchanters WITH DICTATE required to do this. I doubt this quest was completed more than once or twice in 2001. EVERY guild on the server would have to combine to complete this. | ||

![]() P99 isn't classic, even remotely.
Mob tuning isn't classic, every NPC here is significantly harder than classic, especially most raid encounters. P99 pathing is...lol. Ring war in 2001 could be done by about 20 average P99 raiders if you transported them and their toons back in time. | ||

![]() If you watch video of actual in-era classic EQ (and there are a few) you'll see the secret to killing anything was to have a couple dozen of people in bad kunark quest gear stand around and auto attack the mob until it is dead. sontalak. zlandicar. you name it.
p99 mobs aren't classic and are very jacked and overtuned. but that's ok. | ||

But I wasn't a big time raider so I can't nit pick anything. The encounters on P99 I've had seemed pretty advanced compared to what I remembered. I feel like a lot of the dedicated raid players from 1999-2001 aren't trying to relive those days and aren't here but maybe some are and can speak to it. | |||

VP dragons? yeah no problems, 20 pieces of visible bronze and rubicite and crafted etc in any screenshot. Sont? Cleric standing there casting group CH and gets feared once for 3 seconds, entire fight. Almost all people in cobalt/crusty/etc level gear. Flurry in camp? no problem, rando crusty war with 2 pieces of warlords tanks it unslowed without a heal grahic for a solid 10 seconds. P99 is an absolute abomination for difficulty and there is no reason or explanation why. | |||

![]() I agree. One "reason" raid mobs in particular could be overtuned - if it was as easy as having 20-30 people in shitty gear killing a raid mob, the raid scene would be total shit and way too easy.
With 20+ years of experience, raiders now are simply too good and must have an adequate challenge to keep the server interesting. And i agree - that's ok. Quote:
