An Encouraging Shout Out

well alot of your arguments are pretty stupid. notably the corpse run. my current corpse run is pretty fucking difficult being on the 3rd floor of CoM and me being currently naked wondering how ill get up there. sure if you just have to run from commonlands to ro or something its just inconvenient. the difficulty in EQ comes from understanding and learning your place in the world. yeah the move mechanics are more complicated in even WoW because it has more skills and is faster paced, but that doesnt make WoW harder.... pretty specious arguments you can only make when you ignore a huge part of everquests real challenge

Pretty easy man, hire a necro and summon corpse and have him 93 you while he's at it. Which I wrote down in my OP. It'll cost you 500p tops for that CR. Sorry that you died on third. I've died exactly once up there from being afk thanks to bad chili. Maybe if you learn the mobs pathing, general time to kill and respawn timers you wouldn't die up there. It's very simple on third/second.

Pro tip: Vertical distance isn't a factor when dragging corpses.

If a time sink is a challenge for you then great. I prefer having to have extensive mob knowledge and correct usage of dozens of abilities as a challenge rather than a time sink.

sure, but i can call having to work with endurance mechanics an "inconvenience" and having to press buttons for different disciiplines is just an inconvenience to me as well.... the argument applies to everything you say just as well, which is why im now claiming that you are both making stupid arguments. i never once claimed that p99 is in fact harder, im just saying that your arguments are dumb. having no maps is not an inconvenience, its a mechanic that you have to learn to work with. xp penalty is not an inconvenience, its a mechanic that factors into peoples choices. your whole argument is not valid because you're completely discrediting the other side as being "inconveniences" when they are actually mechanics that make the game challenging and require effort.. ignoring that aspect makes your argument lack any real insight.

Xp penalty is an inconvenience, because you have to spend more time farming a level compared to another person. That doesn't make it more difficult, it makes it more time consuming. Not having maps is another inconvenience, instead of traveling from point a to b you either have to 1. know the zone like the back of your hand. 2. spam /loc 3. rely on sense heading. None of these things are going to make your game more difficult, but more time consuming.

Difficulty would be trying to take down CT with 10 people. Or pull an entire zone and try to tank the mobs without dying.

But i'm sorry, you must not know the difference between the two.

Thanks for the shout out! Nobody should have to venture through toxx without at least some bags. If you decide you want to get out of there in a few levels send me a tell and I will move you out and take you to gfay/freeport/qeynos and bind you there. You were wise to serve prexus

Welcome back OP! Ignore the naysayers ^^ I never understood why some people feel compelled to pop into others threads to contest their preferences. I agree there are plenty of challenges in EQ, especially for people with regular lives. Précis is the true Lord of Norrath. I've a retired Eru Pally on blue ^^

To ye naysayers, Simple does not necessarily mean something is easy. Drawing is a good example. You Just smear graphite on paper. Does that mean drawing portraits, still life or even manga is easy?

[Verath]

Right, simple doesn't always mean easy. In the case of classic EQ it does.

I was simply refuting his claim that live is easymode EQ.

Thanks to the encouraging comments. And to the other guys who seem to have started a separate topic....ummm....thanks for your ideas guess? I'm just glad to be here.

Thanks again Expediency. Currently in Qeynos Hills, taking out Gnolls.
