A+ GM Event

[heartbrand]

Trak is a gimp because he dies before the second or third AE ever goes off pal (the first only being eaten by the DA tank).

[heartbrand]

Also, the last patch was 9/22, the fix went in ironically also on 9/22 but AFTER the patch, so no, there has not been a patch since the fix.

p.s. Rogean pal we're long over due for a patch!

Here's my offer I sent... way back when.

She said you guys could use some developer hands getting things off your plate. Mostly repetitive/annoying things for the eqemu gurus you currently have like nailing down the rest of quest MQs and faction work.

Tbh, I'd be happy as shit to get my hands dirty in some EQ code and have professional experience/currently employed as a Java (Javascript + Ajax)/SQL/XML+HTML developer.

I'll be honest before I lay out my most sincere offer and help. I have only one reservation with project as a whole. Players cannot come back after cheating or be allowed to get away with cheating. Exploited loot needs to be removed. I don't feel good dedicating huge sums of my free time when that is going on, I just wouldn't feel good about it.

That said, and in line with my previous comment, if I were to contribute, I would want absolutely 0 involvement in GMing the server or handling the player base. I'd be too strict about rule enforcement and a total nazi. Even though I think you should have that here, I know you do not want that.

My mission statement would be to help you guys clear your Kunark/Classic plate and get Velious going which is what everyone really wants, and the crown jewel to your project.

I'd also be willing to help out with PvP resist coding or mechanics, of course pending review of you + anyone else before implementation. This could even just be "here's what we have" without having direct access to code and "here's what values we have for resist rates for each spell". I could fix things and make determinations from there.

I have a very sharp memory of Classic EQ in both raiding, pvp and pvp contesting of raid targets. I was directly involved in the nastiest FFA pvp server guild war to cross classic EQ. I remember everything from what got certain snowballs rolling and how the live GMs (head CSR of Sony) handled them, and the outcomes thereof. I think I'd be a valuable addition. Let me know what you think.

And the crickets did chirp.

I'll just let the bugs sit till they can get to em and wait for Null to win the lottery so he doesn't have to work.

Now if we can just get ripostes working with deadly lifetaps and shit working.

How many nub casters are going to survive 2 of his aoe's?

Not to mention... raid healing gets a lil hectic and of course getting that shit off you before you die for looting.

PS: Trak isn't supposed to be a gimp.

[Tomatoking]

trak was soloable by level 65s the problem is people are good at eq now so the once tough bosses arent so tough


you are talking about lifers here nirgon. they gib kunark bosses with shitty melee and shitty hp

[Nirgon]

Except I fought Trak in Kunark and yes we had resist gear and talent, we had the strat.

He wasn't a push over and we had many more numbers than you guys.

Fighting Trak with a non-existant AoE due to incorrect resist values, stacking resist poison... and likely disfunctional ability to proc his deadly lifetap on riposte ... do I really hafta explain how trivial that is in comparison?

[Rettii]

Maybe we should get a live show going here we bring the great minds on for some radio debate

Would b fun if you ask me

[heartbrand]

It takes two clicks of a poison pot which takes about 3 seconds total to cure Trak dot. Back in classic EQ people weren't walking around with backpacks full of shammie pots, BiS resist gear in every slot, etc., etc., the times have changed everyone knows where everything is and how to min/max. Sry this makes you mad pal.

[Nirgon]

Shaman pots? No, you are right, I don't think anyone had caught onto doing that except for a few. Score you a point there.

Resist gear? Yeah, we did have that. I was diamonded out, our guild owned seb and raided hate tons.

Times have changed yes, but saying you guys can do twice as much with half the numbers as my original raid sect is pretty goofy.

Pretty sure the "old folks" around here could tell you that Sabbat on RZ at its full power before split woulda griefed us all off the server.

I think we were like 70 dudes, muey hardcore.

I think the first show should have guests Nirgon, Lazortag, and Heartbrand.

We need some topics: resists and dragons to start.
