Moss covered Twig

Ripqozko is definitely a loser; no question there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But in this case at least, he's trying to make a valid point, just in an asshole way. DSM talks about lots of stuff without any basis, and he doesn't just talk, he argues, passionately, refusing to recognize anything that counters his opinion from people who actually know more (eg. one of his famous "100 page threads" was him arguing about Druid charming ... without ever having charmed on a Druid).

When Ripqozko repeats his "0% raiding" troll, he's similarly calling DSM out for saying lots of stuff about raiding (with a tone of authority) ... when he lacks the background to even be involved in such conversations, let alone dominating them with incorrect opinions.

Loramin continues to lie about my game knowledge. He has no basis for these claims. I provide plenty of evidence to back up my claims, including video evidence, log evidence, and now a DPS calculator based on the EQEMU code that is supported by many P99 parses using different weapons, classes, and levels. My youtube channel and DPS calculator are in my signature, and links to logs can be found in the video descriptions. I admitted to being wrong in this very thread, so his idea I never admit I am wrong is proven false here.

Loramin doesn't provide any evidence for his claims most of the time. I honestly can't remember the last time he did. He just asserts his opinions as facts, and then lies about other posters when he loses the debate. This is yet another example of him doing this. He is projecting his problems on to me. He will stalk people around the forums and just repeat this nonsense as a last-ditch effort to save face.

He also revealed himself as an abuser of his admin powers. Be careful when interacting with Loramin. Once he gets a delusional idea in his head about a poster on this forum, nothing will change his mind. He will do the same thing to you as he is doing to me. Luckily the post history doesn't lie. Loramin's attempts to bury the truth in lies will always fail.

Your DerPieSt calculator is not a valid source of evidence. It has been proven to contain many uncountable flaws. It was created by a non raider that's been proven time and again to lack basic knowledge of the game.

Please don't try to use this shit as evidence. It's drawn in crayon.

My DPS calculator is open source, and I have multiple P99 parses to back it up that are linked as well. Feel free to go through the code and see if you find any flaws. I've asked you to do this multiple times now, and you havent.

Either you lack the game knowledge to check the DPS calculator, or you did check it without saying and have yet to find a flaw. Either way, your claims are baseless, and you have proven yourself to be a troll.

I find it funny you claim I am a "non raider". My Magelo has no drop raid gear in over half of my Shaman's slots from places like ToV. I raided in Aftermath quite a bit. They had a minimum raid attendence that I always exceeded.

My Enchanter is still Aftermath tagged if you don't believe me:

I know you always like to have the last word, so people can read my rebuttal here while you childishly praise your post being last. I understand you want to bloat every thread with nonsense, but please have some self control today.

None of your delusions listed here are relevant to the conversation. You're not allowed to use yourself or your flawed calculator as proof of anything other than your massively overinflated sense of self worth.

LOL @ Sarnak Battle Shield and Diamond Wedding Band. Such great raid gear.

The exact same patch released epics, so we can safely disregard epics:

New Epic Quests We are pleased to announce that we have implemented new "Fiery Avenger" style quests for every class in the game (including paladins). The ultimate reward for each quest boasts a custom model with unique particle effects. We think that you will be pleased.

Seems to me that a weapon that does almost as much DPS as an epic, before epics were released, is a weapon that does exceptional DPS, regardless of whether it's the top DPS weapon or top-2 of its time.

It was always explained to me back in the day that the twig was removed because the damage was too insane. I feel like it was discussed excessively on the forums at the time. I never saw one in game though, so it’s basically hearsay at this point.

The reason I inquired about it in this thread is because I saw a YouTube video about the top 10 removed / nerfed EQ items, and the guy filming the video said the Twig was removed because it could push mobs. But I always heard the opposite, and that it was just insane dps.

I feel like fast weapons were a bigger deal in OG EQ in general. I remember jade maces, locustlure and lamentations were really popular compared to how they are now.

Some interesting comments from back in the day, although nothing too early. Still shows what a notorious item it was. I remember kicking myself for not getting one [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There was also some other stuff that got removed during this same time period, if I recall? Was there not some 15 damage harpoon when Kunark first came out that they quickly removed from the game?

[Wakanda]

I found it

https://wiki.project1999.com/Gunthak_Harpoon

I started to think I hallucinated this whole thing since it’s not listed under removed items in the wiki page

I guess they left it in game but changed it to no rent and made it weigh 20 pounds instead ��

Also does anyone know why they removed the ringed mace of ykesha? 10/WW with ykesha proc doesn’t seem that op, but I’m guessing it was too good for aggro or something?

There are other weapons that out-DPS Twig in-era as well. Addy Club was just one example. SK's can also use Twig, and Ebon Mace out DPSes Twig. There is more than one example.

The point I am making is the DPS from Twig was not wildly off-course for the era. It wasn't doing 2x the DPS of Addy Club. It was performing within range of existing weapons, it was just too easy to get.

Fuckin hell DSM stop bringing up your DPS calculator.

You have someone telling you HOW IT WAS IN GAME FOR REAL.

Your response, "Yeah but my DPS calculator says..."

Step aside, sit down, take a walk, go home and all of that jazz
