P99 Forums- the worst (past or present) source of play information for classic/EMU EQ

[Gatorsmash]

Title.

The amount of fucking paint eating dipshits on this forum is staggering. Since P99's launch this forum has consistently gone down hill, I thought the first few years rivaled the retards we had on the old SK forums....(name escapes me, was folded into the shaman forums)

Example: from a cleric creation thread "Really 25 CHA is a great choice at roll (for a cleric) by Tuljin". The idiot has been here chomping away on giant bowl of nacho flavored latex paint giving out nuggets of gold like this beauty.

One of the dumbest things I've read on this forum in a long line of stupid shit. If you are one of these fucking idiots with links/referring your character(s) on blue or green, emu servers that spent 10 years (or launched) with some of the most game breaking, exploitable bugs in the history of EQ- exploitable bugs in game so long I left for almost 5 years after launch and they were still in ffs your account should be banned

The forum crew is mostly frustrated casuals or career terribads.

Don't let them get to you too much.

They are all part of the EQ experience and the stories you will tell later. We are blessed up to still have a classic MMO community in this sad world of forgettable drivel (basically MTX shops) they keep churning out.

Yep.

Probably get much worse when streaming becomes standard on console devices. Microsoft will go hand over fist to drag the PC down with it as history suggests.

OP in here bitching about forum posts but at least those retards can use a keyboard.. although it probably was posted from the Iphone qwerty while they were taking their morning shit.

*sigh*.. defending what is left of this crumbling hill of scraps and I am one of the dumbest that can be found. All of the intelligent tech guys went full retard though and worship at the church of progress.

Compared to Nirgon, we're all just casuals.

RnF would be a much kinder and gentler place if people had just put more points into cha on their character.

Seriously though, when cha effected lull it could be a solid choice. I had a HE paladin that I maxed cha on and it was great. No one really notices if you have an extra 50hp or hit for 0.005% more dmg but they notice if you get a 3 pull rather than a single pull.

25 cha is great for any cleric who doesn't plan to be in a CH chain all of their play time(and even then, divine intervention is a raid thing). sorry you fail so badly at 21 year old elf sims.

Its 23% of your possible maximun starting mana pool for a cleric (25 points) ..............for an unknown percentage bonus of problably 2-5% toward your one spell line for a function you will be doing the least amount of time playing your healing class, pulling.

One is easily gained through items rotting on the fucking ground at lvl 1 (Charisma,and I can think of 2 that get you to +20 off the top of my head ) and the other (Wisdom) doesnt have an item in game to replace that lost 25 points of Wisdom till the end raiding zones of Velious- you fucking retards.

I'm inclined to agree, though there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding the effect of CHA on Lull/Pacify line.

One old thread I found the following info:

"Charisma effects:

1. Lull resists (determines whether you aggro the mob or not)

Is the effect resisted?
If the effect is resisted, will the NPC get angry and tell its friends that it's time for a BardSnack(tm), or will it ignore what just happened?
Charisma is the sole determinant in the second check. It doesn't affect (resists)."

This implies that your level will matter more on whether a Lull is initially resisted, and a Charisma check is applied to see whether that will become a critical resist (mob aggroes). I've been looking through a lot of sources, but can't definitively say whether that is accurate or not. Anecdotally, I can say my Dwarf Cleric with a hellishly low CHA gets crit-resisted very often on Lull. This isn't much an issue in the higher levels with full groups - usually a Monk or Bard pulling, or having an Enchanter handy. Duo/Trio its more problematic.

As we know, Divine intervention is the vast majority of the time used on the Tank, and of course it checks THEIR charisma, not the cleric's.

My gimp druid alt has 200 wis with several slots empty. Get gud at ECquest. Naked cha is an important stat when lulling down to your corpse and those of your group. The True Powergamer puts all points into cha, for every class. To do otherwise is sub-optimal and try-hard.
