Koadic's Endless Intellect

[Arteker]

AA grind for paladin sks bards was hillarius at first they messed up code and we end winning more aa xp per kill than any other class for some weeks.

for the record i maxed aas over 2 weeks of soloing acrylya undeads as paladin with pre nerfed slay undead,

Merodeador the first sk to make full aas made them with his boxed group in pom. the bitch did it in 1 week.

100% agree with Pasi's argument about Luclin.

It fleshed out a lot of aspects of the game that weren't fully realized previously. Class balance was pretty damn good at the end aside from mobs having 3 billion ac. Hybrids/druids became decently powerful and wanted, beastlords were fun, necros could land/stack spells, etc. Cats on the moon? Yes kinda dumb, but cat people/lizard people/trolls - it's all fantasy bs anyway.

It also had a large amount of spots for high end single groups to get near (2nd tier) raid quality gear. Examples include CT, burrower in Acrylia, UP, The Va'Dyn, etc. This opened up the game for non-raiders.

It was a pretty cool expansion overall imho.

I think it's always funny that PoK books get mentioned with Luclin because they didn't come until PoP and it seems like many people who just have disdain for everything post Velious lump it all together.

I personally hated the PoK books because they trivialized travel and as a wizard they diminished one of the main aspects of my class. One of the great things about classic EQ was the sense of a gigantic world in which travel had consequences and really conferred a sense of embarking on a journey. Due to the scope of the world ports really felt like significant magic. Forgive the pun, but when the books came around some of the magic was lost. I have to mention that other than that I felt PoP was the best expansion of my time playing live.

I agree with this completely! I would be 100% for adding PoP with no clickable books in or out except for PoT of course. The only way in to PoK should be a port from a player.

Edit: I would go farther and say put the only book to PoK on the aviak island in oot! Hahaha yes!

The amazing thing about all this is that's a true possibility. When verant/sony would make changes that broke porting classes for instance, there was no going back, you were just stuck with the shit they created. In hindsight, we all feel that the books were a bad idea and something can actually be done about it before it's even released now (if it ever is).

Im pretty confident that 2 things will NEVER happen on P99.

1 - AAs will never exist - GMs have stated as much

2 - Luclin and Beyond will never exist, create far more problems than it solves and the community would never rally behind either one like they do for Velious. Keep in mind that these wouldnt even be discussed for several years after Velious even comes out.

I remember the 'uzi' incident early on in luclin when range weaps had NO delay....was hilarious, rangers were murdering everything.

Edit: Forgot to mention wizards getting TLs and familiars too, great additions to that class.

Wizzies get translocates in velious

I've gotten KEI once from a GM. Also got a shit ton of other insane buffs, that all lasted like an hour. Sucks to think it was a one time deal, but my guildies and I made it count.

[Soandso]

AA's wont happen.
Luclin def won't happen.
Pop won't happen.

It baffles me there are people who prefer the EC Tunnel over the Bazaar, other for the sake of keeping the server "classic". [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I like the classic feel of EC, but one thing I definitely miss is playing in the arena in the Bazaar. Some of the most fun I ever had playing EQ was impromptu "king of the hill" style PvP fights while browsing items in the Bazaar. It seemed like no matter what time of day it was I could roll into the Bazaar and kill some time both buying/selling and messing around with whatever people were hanging out by the arena.

The buying mechanic in Bazaar I can take of leave. It definitely reduced the interaction between players buying and selling, but since I really don't play the commerce game it isn't something that ever really bothered me.

I just want a commerce zone that has an arena!
