fights won't take that long. people are infinitely better at this game now then they were on live due to knowing every possible way to make encounters easier.

I know just about everything to Velious. Back on live when Velious was released I was an active raider (Iksar monk) in my guild. I was young back then only of the fifteenth or sixteenth of age but I slew many of dragons in the icy peaks of Velious. The guild I was a member of cleared all the content except for the mighty Vulak'Aerr who was controlled by a guild more powerful than ours. During the Planes of Power expansion set I quit EQ for a few years but returned at the 70th and 75th level cap. I formed a group of 6 exceptional players who relived the glory of ntov, the dain, zlandicar, velketor & Lord Doljonijiarnimorinar (not on the p99 wiki for some reason), vindicator, avatar of war cycle, western wastes dragons, everything. I even went on to future expansions and 1 grouped that raid content with a few friends as well.

Honestly It's one of my goals to protect Lord Vulak I may make a suggestion to the High council of <Dungeons & Dwagons> that it be our mission statement to protect Lord Vulak from any guild that seeks to put a blade to his throat.

I was young back then only of the fifteenth or sixteenth of age but I slew many of dragons in the icy peaks of Velious. Instead of going out and getting pussy and hanging with friends i jammed myself up against the monitor and abused myself. Now instead of working and going out and getting pussy i just keep making EQ Guilds and talk about the glory days of starting a business, instead i just immerse myself in the toxic red99 community and bathe in pure tears. Please help me my life hurts

ST should be completely hands-off for CSR like it was on live imo.

When we originally said "when velious is released" small groups can fuck over big groups that still holds true for quite a bit of content... I wont get into all the logistics and secrets of really boning over the top guilds as my buddies (even though I don't play here are the top end), so explaining those strats to everyone isn't exactly what I would do...
Let's just say a competent group of the "right classes" per se, can screw over any guild attempting to farm Ntov /DN/Kael... Dain is easily bottlenecked and protected like stated before (I doubt dain will be done within the first few months anyways) the rest of the zones faction plays a huge roll.. And if this is anything like classic was (and Im sure Nilbog etc will drive it to be) you be faction switching every week, as that shit took a long ass time to get one or the other on live... Dragons etc are major hits, along with Tormaxx etc... but quite a lot more time along with those big hits were needed to get out of previous kos..
Mobs wont be downed in 6-7 minutes even with 70--90 people, as their AC is insanely high here (hence why farming primals were a huge advantage in pve content) because in velious in pve Attack played a huge roll in dps...
70-100man zergs still will take 15mins or so to kill said mobs.

Tormax to Yeli and back is a horrible grind

I think you need to play beta because mobs still die incredibly fast.
