Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

[Evia]

I'm glad I dont use mouse look so its not a problem for me.
I just f9 twice, tap delete a bit to pull the camera back, then angle it a bit better with alt + page up and page down until the camera sits nicely behind my character. Sometimes its a bit rough to see whats behind me but i've learned to deal with it by rotating around with strafe in those situations.


and yes, big shout out to Secrets for doing this project. glad someone decided to do it! looking forward to it!

[Trexller]

what about strafe? on titanium you can bind it to any key

but on takp you gotta ctrl+L/R to strafe

can secrets make strafe a bindable key?

I wanna know how many people will get pinged for SEQ on PQ while then loading p99 after.

[Caillou]

You don't get pinged for SEQ. It either works trivially or it does not.

Like I seriously doubt 99% of players would ever cheat, even if it was trivial. However, what sets p99 above most other emu is that it is not trivial. So, you can either get on that level or you can be an upstart scrub.

The game play experience is so much better in P99 in regards to smoothness of mouse look and lack of latency. When you move the mouse to look around there is a few hundred ms of lag to the look response.

The client definitely feels a bit jank compared to what people are used to from more modern clients like P99's.

For me it got a lot more manageable after using it for a few hours. Personally I just use first person more often. I also rebound the F9 camera select so I could more easily see around my character while medding.

What's not being mentioned however are the client improvements over P99. The lighting is better and more accurate. The sound/music is better. Elements like name tags are more classic.

Secrets has also said that he's still working on the camera but it might not be improved before launch. He's open sourced the DLL and other people are encouraged to make improvements to it in the meantime.

Regarding cheating, I find it a bit strange that this is being discussed so much here. Every EQ server you've played on has had cheating, including P99. It's unfortunately just been part of the game since the very beginning. But it seems that Secrets will be just as effective at detecting and removing cheaters as P99 is, so I'm not sure why there's so much skepticism here.

crazy to think we will have to wait until 2026 before we get to taste luclin

Yeah this is probably my biggest concern with the server. 2.25 years for Luclin release is rough. We've had 14 years of Vanilla->Velious content on P99.

Another concern I have is with the database. P99 was successful because a lot of work was put into the database before the server launched which made the server feel special compared to other projects. Quarm feels mostly like a PEQ clone and there's already been a lot of low pop PEQ clones. I'd really like to see a lot more people playing on the server and submitting database reports to the Discord.

P99 has anti-cheat code built-in; Quarm doesn't. That was the reasons for the discussion.

[Penish]

literally 90% of players here use mq / showeq or box

quarm will be the same, who cares & enjoy the ride

also before the retards swarm saying NAWUH, fucking look around for 5min

(see u on the new box folks)

Also people were misrepresenting the server as being actively cheat friendly.

Scanning your PC for names of processes only stops the people who aren't smart enough to rename those processes.

Quarm having different methods of anti-cheat (which might even be more effective) does not mean there's no anti-cheat.

We'll be using every character in the tests for reservations, and they'll be granted by time you spend on those characters.

We are doing this in a way that I'll take a cohort of time played on beta for any names reserved there and the stress test characters will be their own cohort

Secrets — 08/26/2023 8:49 PM
Name reservations are a beta testing reward based on played time
