Kunark and Velious are good, but the old world is sooo much better. It's honestly a lot of wasted potential, most of the content doesn't matter. Even back in 99 most of the gear was useless.
It's too bad. Those original zones were the bones and soul of EQ. Now levels 1-50 is just something to rush through so you can get to the goodie skinner box rewards.

Is this the right place to ask if something like P99 is worth picking up as someone who has never touched EQ? How populated are the lower levels?

>>2071806
It's hilarious seeing people throwing krono at shit like efreeti boots on TLPs. At that point all that matters are resists, worn haste, AC if you're a raid tank, and clickies. Ratio for weapons. Whatever incidental stats you have on random gear combined with buffs is more than enough, yet people throw hundreds of dollars at "BiS" which won't even make a statistical blip on the parses.

>>2071806
How would you improve the classic vanilla experience?
World of Warcraft has Turtle WoW and a few others which have revisited the original expansion only and have done their own patches and balance changes and new zones/content.
I am not a fan of WoW, but I played it a little recently out of curiosity. It was an interesting experience.

Imagine they did that with EQ. Rather than Kunark, Velious, Luclin, etc (entirely new continents they instead built directly off that foundation.
Races get new cities based on reworking existing content: Kerra Isle could be reworked into the Vah Shir home city, esp since no one ever goes there.
Something similar for the Iksar. Maybe they have a Temple to Cazic Thule off the southern coast of Odus (explains why paineel fell to Cazic Thule? Making Cazic Thule erudites natural allies to Iksar).
Such changes would integrate the core elements of the expansions into the vanilla content without taking away the importance of the primary cities and original content.
And by adding new content off less used zones you can increase usage around those areas. Like Vah Shir taking over Kerra Isle, etc.
Its a fascinating idea to me, after seeing what they did with Turtle WoW.

>>2079649
there is literally nothing wrong with kunark and velious, the only thing you could even remotely complain about would be the vertical gear progression where every expansion renders 99% of the gear from the previous expansion obsolete

the eq classic vanilla experience for most people was spending forever grinding levels and never hitting level cap, even if you perfectly recreate the game peoples' mindsets have changed, they min/max and no-life shit, hit level cap in 2 weeks, then do nothing but monopolize cash camps and raids

improved classic experience? there is no endgame. you level forever, incentivized through remort systems and other shit you could find in old muds. change shit up constantly, no checklist-based gameplay. raids? gm events, not gm enforced raid calendars for when its your turn to kill the dragon

>>2079707

>>2079649

>>2079707
there's a lot wrong with kunark and velious, the old world is basically totally dead/abandoned after launch and there is almost zero concern for rp/world consistency in any later content, even starting as soon as the temple of sol ro...


shits awful. there's also not much difference between them and luclin, luclin was just a little more transparent about it because it was only 25% finished and barely even had dungeons.
the gameplay in luclin was better but nobody played eq for the gameplay...

This would be a start. I'd also like to overhaul the stat system so there could actually be more meaningful progression for the first 50 levels.
EQ feels like an incomplete game, and indeed even back in the day I recall reading reviews that mentioned how barebones it felt

>>2097418
Which points did you not like and why?

>>2080918
I'm playing on P99 & still seeing groups in low level zones like black burrow & sometimes befallen,crushbone and unrest surprisingly seem to be extremely popular for some reason?

>>2079649
The real problem with eq was that there were premium camps that were insane for drops and exp , and then everything else sucked ass. there wasn't even that many drops so EVERYONE wanted to be in the same like handful of camps and if you weren't in those camps you were wasting your time many times over. A decent group could camp an entire dungeon all night.
WoW leveled the playing field and allowed everyone logging in to be productive on their own almost anywhere.
EQ could have stood to have actual quests your guy could do to get something good or interesting but it just didn't. So every single person on every single server is just camping the same mobs for some dogshit +2ac trash cuz there is literally nothing else

The real tragedy rn is that around lvl75 EverQuest becomes extremely fun and the gear progression is great, the quests are rewarding and interesting, the hero journey/achievement system is also really good. Your abilities are actually usable without running out of mana, and you get really powerful stuff - AA roots, snares, fades, mezzes etc. The problem is it's extremely dead content cuz it's still too far from max level, and most tlp servers die before it gets there

>>2129645
I'm at level 39 right now as an troll shaman got my teeth kicked in by the goblins in permafrost keep,was trying to get one of those frost totems for a warrior but they all gang'd up two elites plus sage any way to single pull?

>>2130645
It's going to be hard for shaman to do most dungeon camps from what I know of them. The way most shamans solo was from root rotting or kiting in open zones.
You can try root rotting , use disease dots since they don't break root as easily. Use your resistance debuff if you have it also
If your using tank merc, set up kinda far from them,
set your self as puller by rightclicking your player window->roles (this makes the merc "setup camp" in the spot you're at, he will stay still until you bring something back to "camp". )
Root the adds then pull the named
Turn off puller role when you're done at the camp so merc will follow you
If you have tank merc available definitely use it. They can solo most things below like lvl65

>>2129645
>The real problem with eq was that there were premium camps that were insane for drops and exp , and then everything else sucked ass
The game badly needs a balancing pass. It wasn't so bad in 1999 because no one knew anything. And even when we did learn, you might still opt to go to a shittier zone because there would be less competition.
Of course nowadays on TLPs those shittier zones are even more pointless because now all the good zones have "picks"

>>2152569
I'll be honest, the 85 heroic character should be the base character creation and free. Give them some tasks that add spells to their hotbars so it's not overwhelming, piece by piece.
Everything before House of Thule is largely irrelevant and almost no one is playing on many of the old continents. Entire CONTINENTS are EMPTY of players

Let people start in populated areas so they can group and use their abilities in a smallish plane like HoT and so they aren't spending weeks in dogshit zones leveling at 40 or whatever

Which race is the ugliast mfer in EQ?

>>2129645
private server could fix that easily by adding some kind of motivation to go to the out of the way camps/dungeons nobody runs, the laziest solution would be a daily system.
i know people who have played eq for 20 years and never ran the low level goblin dungeons in kunark or been to zones like xorbb and runnyeye.

>>2165246
>the laziest solution would be a daily system
I'm all for it. It doesn't need to much. Just a little something to let me know I'm a good boy for going on an adventure and not sticking to meta-camps.
Project Quarm did something I liked: they moved jboots back to Najena, and pumped up the drop rate hugely. So you ended up with a constantly cycle of people coming to Najena to get their boots.
And for every character you made, you'd want to go to Najena at some point to get your boots. It made for a nice little adventure to break up the standard leveling.
It's interesting how tweaking a drop rate could vastly change the experience. Back in '99 the Jboots in Najena were a complete disaster, you'd have dozens of people queuing up for one very rare spawn and very rare drop. All because the devs had this dev-versus-player attitude. Bunch of retards, I hope the ones who are still alive realize how dumb that was.
Anyways, if you had more stuff like that spread throughout the world, that would be great. LGuk of course has the mana stone, but that's already a popular zone.
>>2160724
> the 85 heroic character should be the base character creation
Kek, I don't care about anything after Velious. I've been playing on that anon's SoloQuest server and as soon as I completed Velious I lost all motivation to play. (I'm Blob by the way. I'll probably be back soonish with an alt)

>>2165246
>xorbb
I remember back in '99, the Minotaur Axes were a hot item. Everyone wanted one.
I was a noob Barbarian warrior in Everfrost. A ranger came through selling the axes for 5pp a pop. Unfortunately he sold out and I didn't get one, but he said he was going back to the gorge to get more.
I got my axe later that day. That was hype.
And even though I never personally adventured in Xorbb, it was cool knowing that other players were making good use of that zone.
Of course now we know the modest increase in DPS is completely insignificant. Now we know your time is better spent leveling. And Xorbb is a ghost town.
Still, good memories.

>>2129645
I felt like it was never that bad for vanilla EQ, even if all of the high value spots are taken you could still do something simple like WK bandits and make decent plat per hour.
Funfact I funded a iksar BP doing WK bandits as a lowbie lvl 20 bard as my highest character.

>>2165877
>mana stone

What did it even do,I see it go on sale on 99 sometimes & wonder why it's literally thousands/million of plat worth same thing for rubisite armor that just looks like fine steel plate with an red tint?

>>2165877
Your jboots take is retarded, it helps turn the game into a anti social solo simulator because its a major class buff being castable by any retard not to mention sow makes you basically unkillable by mobs due to being faster.

The major point of these games is living in a dangerous world with difficult objectives that you overcome by meeting, befriending, and playing with other players.

Mana stone basically gives you infinite mana in Norrath.
Rubicite just looks cool, and some of the off pieces have pretty ok stats for a vanilla item.

>>2167726
>Mana stone basically gives you infinite mana
Mana is already infinite.
Manastone helps in a pinch, or aids in recovery if you have access to sufficiently efficient healing.
>in Norrath
You mean in classic zones. Kunark and Velious are in Norrath but the manastone doesn't work there.
>>2167412
The manastone converts HP to mana at a 3:1 ratio.

SoloQuest admin here. Once I'm done fixing quest scripts and balancing raid events, I'm considering a couple additions to the server. First is a basic hardcore mode where you opt in at level 1 and that's it, your character is deleted on death. No special rules or conditions and no enforced solo self found or anything.

The second is a remort system where at any point after level 51 you can reroll to a different class and keep all of your current CLASS AA ranks. General and archetype aren't kept and you can't add anymore ranks to your old class AAs after you remort. I'm really iffy on doing this because I like class identity and limitation, but it's an idea I had that I think is pretty cool in theory. Thoughts?

>>2188531
Yeah it's hilarious
even more funny when you realize it was secrets who made a stink about it (he shilled for THJ when it first released & when he noticed they were making bank he left their discord server and word banned even mentioning THJ silently in the quarm discord) and clearly used the opportunity to try and get quarm its personal daybreak blessing like P99 but in the end he just ended up ruining his server, having all his custom content removed and losing 2k players.

Alright you convinced me to try either soloquest or P99 to see what all the nostalgia is about, looking at either warrior or bard, what's the difference aren't they both tanks classes the wiki says they both wear plate armor but doesn't seem to say anything about warriors using magic?

Warrior really doesn't do much outside of tank hits, and deal dmg with auto attack. They can't self heal during combat which makes soloing extremely difficult and practically impossible at higher levels unless you're over geared and have expensive chest armor on with passive HP regen.

Outside of combat warriors can sit or bandage (bind wound) but your bind wound is going to be extremely weak and as a fresh player it's expensive to maintain if you buy the bandages yourself.
mages can summon bandages at lvl 4 so it's nice to ask one for a few stacks or at least lvl one yourself to 4, summon a ton of bandages and drop transfer a bag full to your warrior every time you play.

Warriors are definitely far more group dependent

Hey admin, is the ultima server up to date with the memento shard updates? There are a lot of new updates.

>>2222965
lol no, but I never intended it to be. When I get back to developing it I'll pick and choose a few of the things I really like then add more of my own stuff.

>Removed the Legendary Velious Dragon from Eastern Wastes.
>The Sage (Waystone Compact) and Scryer (Ebon Tithe) NPCs will now only return results for merchants that actually exist in the game world. Previously it returned merchants that exist in the DB, but were expansion gated. They can now be used to reliably find merchants selling items/spells you want to buy.
>Reintroduced Quartermaster (Waystone Compact) and Supplier (Ebon Tithe) NPCs to each starting city and the Plane of Knowledge. They sell tradeskill items.

>Reduced client timeout from 5 minutes to 2 minutes.
>Logging in from the same IP before the previous connection times out now boots the old connection so you can quickly log back in after a crash.
>Added loot search functionality to the Sage/Scryer NPCs. It works exactly like the merchant search except instead of returning merchants it returns mobs that can drop the item. Hail for instructions.

It's up right now. The stress test (new server) has been extended til Monday 12pm.

Anon admin, when will you update the ultima server with some of the new updates from memento?

>>2242336
No idea. I've got limited free time and I'm busy with the EQ server rn. When I do get back to the UO server I'll be mostly looking to add my own stuff, not Tsai's. I have no interest in champion spawns or the temptation system for example. I want to add a dungeon invader system that has a chance to spawn a red human NPC that stalks you in dungeons. The NPC would scale to the player its targeting so it's a challenge regardless of the dungeon you're in. Kind of like a Dark Souls invader.

>>2242530
Im mostly interested in some fixes to classes and balance stuff. Alch for example is beyond broken (not in a good way) in the current version you have, so are traps. I think it would be easier to implement all the changes until now, then discard whatever you dont like, than just picking whatever you like. But you know, that's my suggestion after all.

>>2242704
How do you figure alchemy and traps are broken? And I can't just drop his changes in because I have my own changes all over the code. I have to do it one by one.

>>2242731
>How do you figure alchemy and traps are broken?
Traps are huge cheese. You can read the memento changelog for more details, but basically, traps don't count as attacks, and can harm invulnerable NPCs. About alchemy, it mainly buffs slimes, and the area dmg potions breaks on towers and irregular terrains.

>>2242776
Yep, 2 fixes I will eventually include, but not that big of a deal.

>Added loot search functionality to the Sage/Scryer NPCs. It works exactly like the merchant search except instead of returning merchants it returns mobs that can drop the item. Hail for instructions.
>Added a graveyard to Plane of Sky. Corpses will appear on Island 1 after 20 minutes.

I was there on launch day. I remember my buddy who was a Dark Elf Shadowknight, I think, he had a couple mino axes and gave them to my Dwarven warrior. There I was, level 15, running through south Ro desert with padded armor and two mino axes. I thought I was hot shit.

Now i'm playing P99/Quarm with a level 20 Iksar monk 27 years later with that same buddy that gave me the mino axes.

Time sure is funny.

I want to get into UO but I have no idea how or what server to play on. Any advice?

>>2257898
Yeah, be less retarded

>>2045157
UO turned to shit in 1997 after the Notoriety Patch turned the game into carebare land, and even that wasn't enough for the faggots when they added Trammel for the Trannies.

>>2262443
Thanfully this is a really custom funny UO shard without that tranny shit.

bump for ogre butts

bump for admin giving some love to UO any day now.

>>2265546
Don't hold your breath. I'm busy af and still have a lot to do with the EQ server

>>2250609
LOL
true

>>2257898
The anon adventure server is cool but don't play any big public private servers like outlands or uoforever.
the old retards who still play regular servers suck the fun and life out of it.
everyone cheats and uses razor (macro) software and just afk grinds all their skills to max then they just minmax every portion of the game.

I was lucky enough to play it for a bit as a child when it still had sovl and maybe only like 1% of the population even knew how to macro, the game was truly amazing then but now it's just a oldfart daycare for beta tier old men who play 10 characters for gold to fund 1 red/thief who runs around ganking with macros in garbage tier pvp.

>>2265762
trvke

I was trying Ruins & Riches. It seemed interesting, but I tried a warrior and it feels like I can't do much. I can handle fighting some stuff but so many basic enemies were buffed and there are a bunch of strong enemies all over the place and I end up dying so much. Still making progress but it feels slow and tedious. Also seeing a bunch of models from Diablo 2 in it feels strange.

>>2265762
This is true. UOGamers 15+ years ago just had straight up bots in the duel pits, archer bots hiding in random places stacked on top of each other one shotting people as they ran by, people using auto cure and auto heal, people leaving dead characters at dungeon entrances to act like cameras. The programmer for the server was making characters to cheat on as well. Was kinda crazy how seriously people started taking it and cheating as much as possible. Even on the official servers it's a common complaint about how many cheaters and bots there are. Just people desperate to win at any cost who freak out if they ever lose.

>I was lucky enough to play it for a bit as a child when it still had sovl and maybe only like 1% of the population even knew how to macro
I played official until AoS and quit soon after, then played free shards until it became apparent everyone was cheating. I really liked the smaller free shards before then. A lot of them were just doing fun stuff and not trying to be like official. Same thing happened with some other MMOs where all the private servers started being just like official and just as grindy and trying to charge money. Sucks.

>>2266642
Yeah I played a few of the smaller early private shards too, it was great.
I know a lot of it was cause I was a kid at the time but idk it felt like most people back then genuinely enjoyed the adventure, joining a group and sailing around finding treasure and exploring, playing checkers in the britain tavern until someone fucked with the board lol
Those were the days

>>2265546
OK what do you really want aside from the alchemy and trap fixes? I'll try to squeeze a patch in.

>>2272288
how about the invasion system ? that sounds spicy and fun af. and umm i think there are some patches regarding the shoppes (some are bugged) and some other systems.

Did anyone get into the M&M beta btw?

>>2272462
The invasion system has to wait until I've checked all of my short term boxes for the EQ server. I'll try to get some of the bug fixes in tho

Adrullan has a public playtest starting on the 1st. Yeah I wouldn't have believed it either if I didn't see it announced on their website.

>- All doors in the first arena are unlocked so players can freely move to each phase 1 trial and complete them without leaving the zone.
>- All mobs in non-dungeon zones have had their default aggro radius restored. Mobs in dungeons retain their halved aggro radius.

Look at the first post in this thread

>>2287897
I've played EQ and I've seen screenshots of UO.
That doesn't look like either game.

>>2289302
That's clearly the UO paperdoll frame. Anyway, in this version of UO you can play as monster races.

on the bright side, losing all the starter gear has been a great opportunity to level up some of the weaker skills i started with, like fist fighting or druidism

>>2285429
duly noted for the future, though if i recall, i just started playing the game not too long before i decided to drop it
it wouldn't hurt to start fresh and relearn, given the little progress i made before

>Removed Translocate from Wizard bots' spell list.

>For example, a Paladin with 17 ranks of Lay on Hands (CLASS) and 6 ranks of Radiant Cure (ARCHETYPE) remorts to Warrior. Once he reaches level 51 he will be a Warrior with 17 ranks of Lay on Hands and 3 ranks of Radiant Cure.
>Retained AAs that aren't native to your new class can't be increased further.
>There is a platinum cost of 100p per archetype+class AA rank purchased prior to remortification.
>You can remort an unlimited number of times, but remorts level at increasingly slower rates:
>Remort 1: 1.5x XP penalty
>Remort 2: 3x XP penalty
>Remort 3: 6x XP penalty
>Remort 4: 9x XP penalty
>Remort 5: 12x XP penalty and so on

Ultimanons, it's almost your time. Getting the remort system in was my main short term goal for the EQ server. I just have to finish balancing the Plane of Time expedition then I'll start patching the UO server. When will I ever actually get to PLAY on my own servers? No one knows.

Changed the remort XP penalties
>Remort 1: 25% XP penalty
>Remort 2: 50% XP penalty
>Remort 3: 75% XP penalty
>Remort 4+: 90% XP penalty

Ultimanons, I'm working on the first patch now. A lot of Tsai's balance changes are focused around his server being a more grounded, proper MMO-type server. I agreed with him that the power creep in AoA was out of control, but I think it was tamed enough in base Memento, so I'm not really interested in nerfing players more. I'm combing through his changes for fixes that apply to FoA. A lot don't. I did yoink his player trap and alchemy changes/fixes.

As far as new systems go, I'm focusing on world reactivity. In addition to the dungeon invasion system, I'm going to adapt a servuo system that adds a lot of random encounters to the world.

>>2296028
I would love to see some changes like a more detailed NPC behavioral AI. But i guess it would be an autistic amount of work.

>>2296047
Yeah I'm not that autistic. Also I added channels for the UO server to the SoloQuest Discord if anyone's interested.

The dungeon invader system is live on the UO server.
>When a player is in a dungeon, there's a chance a red NPC will spawn near their location and hunt them down.
>I'm not going to explain exactly how the system works, but for each player it should average out to 1 invasion every 4 hours spent in dungeons.
>After an invasion you can't be invaded again for 1 hour.
>The player being targeted receives thematic messaging when the invader spawns in the dungeon.
>The invader's stats, skills, gear and loot scale with the player's stats and combat skills.
>There are several different skill and gear templates for the invaders.
It really adds to the suspense of dungeon crawling, capturing some of that fear of PKs on a typical UO server. They'll even taunt you while you fight and celebrate if they manage to kill you. Not to pat myself on the back too much, but it's a pretty slick system.

>>2303382

>>2130645
Shams are extremely weak early levels like that. Your dots will suck till your 50s, especially if you're playing on some hardcore neckbeard historical reenactment like p99.
Pacify is how you split camps. And shams don't get pacify. So you have to root pull to split. Then pray you can land a second root before you're beat too badly. Alternatively, send your pet in to pull, then quickly root targets to space them out before they kill your pet and come for you, then root rot all of them down. Each time you root a target, pull your pet back so he's not tanking the rooted one while you continue root parking.
Shams do not facetank if they can help it. Facetanking is a desperation maneuver against slowed targets, only. You root rot. Period.

It's a lot like how ProjLaz talks big game but it's a known fact that they have never in their history had more than twenty people actively playing there simultaneously. The unlimited boxing issue in the Emu community is such an insidious cancer.
Absolutely fucking refuse to tolerate that horse shit any more. I compiled a list of all usernames and known character names on all the boxing-allowed servers. And I wrote a script to automatically check against the blacklist on every game I play. You'd be surprised how often that trash pops up. And it's just dramatically improved my experience playing online games.

>>2308528
It's pretty fucking funny that they just straight up copied THJ after absolutely tarnishing their reputation (right or wrong) with the players they're now chasing with an official THJlike server. If this was their plan, why not just come to some kind of arrangement with Aporia and Cata without the lawsuit? It would've played far better with their potential customer base. Daybreak really is incompetent.

>>2308494
It's a solo tuned server with corpse runs, XP loss, travel time, and no instancing. It's about as niche as you can get for an EQ server. Also, no multiboxing to pad the player count. I never expected it to have more than 20 players and if it ever did explode I'd throttle it to 100 max. But yes, there will be no blaspheming Christ on or in anything I own. Faggot.

I was already not playing because of the troon, but now I'm not playing even harder.

>>2314842
its not even his idea, let alone game lmao. hes such a talentless grifter whos own server wouldnt even be playable without the dev who made zeal
>>2315201

>>2315475
yeah he's a joke
quarm wouldn't have even did well if he didn't piggy back off of P99
he originally advertised on the P99 forums, the thread eventually had to be closed by P99 GMs who saw what he was doing but by then the damage was done.
thread was massive and multiple pages long I want to say it was like 50 pages?
covers a lot of the scummy shit he pulled like taking 20k in donos to mutilate himself and giving away a fungi tunic secretly to the top guild GM (faceless) during vanilla era for "reporting a rogue GM" which was funny because prior to that he yapped about every little thing on the server loudly everywhere but having a rogue GM outed and giving away one of the most powerful items in the game in vanilla era was kept hush hush until someone inspected the faceless GM randomly.

Random Encounters are live on the UO server.
>While traveling in the overworld and some cave regions there's a chance for players to trigger random encounters.
>There are various hostile encounters including bandits, undead, orcs, and much more.
>In addition there are a number of traveling NPCs you may come across, including:
>Merchants: fully functional vendors of all types who you may buy from and sell to. More nefarious types will find them juicy targets as well.
>Pilgrims: simple peasants traveling to a town for various reasons.
>Hunters: woodsmen making their way back to town with their haul of hides and furs.
>Wounded Adventurers: injured adventurers limping back to town after an ill-fated dungeon expedition. Again, more nefarious types may find they have some valuable loot on them.
>Bounty Hunters: instead of going to a town, these men have tracked their latest bounty to a dungeon and are on their way to claim their head. If you follow them to the dungeon you could aid them...or their quarry.
>Fleeing Villagers: villagers fleeing from a threat. Keep heading in the direction they're fleeing from to investigate.
>Traveling NPCs will actually path across the overworld to their destination.

I'm interested in trying this multi class system.
Ideally the game launches successfully, I'm able to play it for a month, then it crashes and burns because of birdnose's narcissism and he gets exposed as the fraud he is.
Then we get a new p99 server

>>2320075
So after all your shit talk of the troon in this thread for literal years you're going to give him money because you can't resist consooming? That's just pathetic, man.

>>2320101

I was the one saying that I liked the jboot thing on Project Quarm.

>>2320075
im gonna wait it out until it reaches pop and then just enjoy going through everything in 1-2 months if it looks decent. if you play at launch, youre likely going to be bored after 2 weeks of running sky over and over. youll also have to deal with the server being unstable because lets be real, its not going to be a smooth launch

When the guy running it performs his personal end of service is Daybreak even going to try and keep the servers up?

>>2324194
the whole thing is just a short term cash grab anyways. besides its not like they need birdnose to keep it running. they'd probably be better off without him

>>2320006
Funny how birdnose waited to push it the month after M&M launch lol
sneaky little faggot he is

>>2324751
jokes on him because m&m is not launching this year unless having no content is part of the plan

A lot of people are mad about the cash shop. Hopefully enough to make it fail. Doubt it tho, urge to consoom is too strong for most.

>>2324959
For me, part of going back and enjoying EQ is locked into that aesthetic, having an insane tranny run the cash shop will mean absolute dogshit like wood elves running around with cat ears. Fuck that.

On the bright side, the EQL client could prove to be very useful for the emu scene.

>>2325142
This.
And who knows what kind of woke fanfiction custom content he'll try to add.
I noticed in Quarm he changed "Consortium" back to "Gypsy". I assume it was Daybreak twisting his arm about that shit, so we'll see what happens in EQL.

>>2325149
theres no way birdnose will let emu use it freely. he'll say they are stealing the IP (even though he stole the IP for many years and continues to do so)

>>2324828
Well you know what I mean early access, come on litle lad use your brain it might as well be "launch" they're charging money and nothing gets wiped anymore.
I personally feel like it's too early and they should bake at least for another 6 months-year but whatever.

>>2325781
it is too early because the game has no content and the classes are so identical to everquest that they may as well be placeholders. warrior is different but thats only because they just took a bunch of abilities from wow instead

>>2325800
the foundation is pretty damn good and don't be so disingenuous there is content, far better than vanilla EQ but yeah classes definitely need to be focused on.
as a EQ vet I don't mind it but I don't think people want to play and just reuse the same handful of abilities for 60 levels like EQ
>play SK
>every new tier of spells is just the 3 pets, a dot, lifesteal
>rinse repeat until 60

>>2325810
the devs themselves said only 20% of the game is done. the rest of it wont be finished if they release the game this year

SoloQuest looks great. I enjoyed trying to make solo play work in P99 a long time ago and it was fun but a huge pain.

>>2325816
gameplay and foundation wise the game is complete which is a direct quote from the devs

overall missing zones and races is where it's "20%" done, I keep seeing boomers twisting this around.

whoa

>>2327013
I lost mine long ago too, would have liked to log into the real game at least one more time.
It was also attached to my moms old first ever email which she lost so it's super lost

>>2334740
If you at least remember what the email was then customer support might still help you recover the account. If you can give them some information like that and some billing stuff proving it's your account they'll generally still help you recover it.

>>2334915
I do still have my original cd and cd key that might do it but even the account name is fuzzy in my memory its been so long
My mom created it for me when I was a child back in like 2002

Live UO is doodoo. Don't even waste your time.

Holyshit the gem of immortality quest is such a chore.

>>2335073
and i cant even remember the dungeons where the shadowlords are at.

>>2276947
Ok I got the admin to start posting patches to the website again. So every new patch will be on the site now.

>>2335024
Official UO sucks but New Legacy was decent enough to keep me playing for a while. It got rid of a lot of the crap that UO never really needed like everything having so many random stats.

I'm seriously depressed.
EQL is gonna be a bunch of bullshit.
All I wanna do is chill in classic with a leveling population and be excited when I find some bronze armor.

>>2334085
>> - Misc - Larger boats now travel faster

This is awesome.

M&M's new closed beta patch gave me renewed hope for the game, tons of polish.

damn serveranon out of nowhere with these huge patches. I'll come back soon. maybe it's time to advertise on /v/ again?

Where can I find info on how the SoloQuest bots work? I'm new to EQEmulator and EQ in general.

Holy shit Luclin is sooooo baaaaad.
Everyone says the music was "forgotten" for the official release. Well, after listening to it for 30 seconds I can see why it was "forgotten".
I just love how the expansion turns the mystical Wizard Spires into glorified bus stops. It's so *cool* to be chilling in the mysterious North Katana Spires after a day of fightin, only to be transported to the Nexus with that God awful music..
And then if you go to Shadow Haven it's even WORSE.
Not to mention the obvious errors. The zone from Nexus to the Netheriebian Lair doesn't match. The zone from Shadow Haven to Paludal caverns doesn't match either. WTF?

>>2337676
It's feast or famine with me.

baby patch

>Spell - Gentle Touch now has a 2.5s cast time, down from 3s
>Spell - Quivering Palm now has a start/finish message

>Out of combat gains are now capped to 100 skill
>100 skill is required to attempt in-combat hiding
>Grandmaster+ will now attempt to Stealth when hiding succeeds
>Skill - Stealth cooldown after using Backstab or Surprise Attack is now removed

>>2338086
yeah luclin was the beginning of EQs downfall
>garbage new models
>garbage zones
>garbage new race
>garbage new itemization
>garbage AA system
>garbage traveling system
>garbage music

>>2339186
Is the AA system really garbage?
It's just hilarious to me that the method of travel to the moon perfectly highlights the degradation of quality: in a flash you go from the classic old world zones to the shitty Nexus, and then from there it just gets worse.

>>2339422
I prefer the AA system from EQ2 where you can work on it even at low lvls, nice little incentive to lock it and grind low lvl dungeon loot etc.
at least early on in the game it really helped the journey aspect of it, just lock exp and enjoy exploring everything while still gaining player power.

>>2338919
Huh spamming hide was my crutch early game.

>>2339186
i like the luclin music but its definitely missing that charm that the original game had, much like the player models
>>2339422
i think aa's could have been stream lined a little better. there were a couple that really changed how your class worked and then you were grinding for miniscule upgrades most of the time after that. two or three expansions later and the amount of aa's had completely gotten out of hand.
i imagine anyone trying everquest for the first time would be completely overwhelmed by the 50 page list of aa's before they are even max level

>>2340684
>50 page list of AAs in Omens
what? most of them were just upgrades. it's a pretty simple system that added much needed depth to the classes.

>>2340686
>omens
im referring to the current version of the game 25+ expansions later

>>2340689
>two or three expansions later and the amount of aa's had completely gotten out of hand.

>>2340754
Ok so the anon made a little flub. Not a big deal.
Point is it was obvious the system was not sustainable after a couple of expansions.

Let's get some EQL predictions going:
>Horse cosmetics. This is why they are teasing adding in horses
>Class/Race swap tokens. This is why you get the third class so soon (at level 10). They want players engaging with the swap system ASAP to create demand for tokens

>>2342111
Predictions for the Micro Transaction shop, that is.

>>2342111
>thj, but worse
no need to call me a prophet, its merely pattern recognition

>>2342111
yeah sadly
and there's a big line of loser old dad boomers waiting to paypig it up just so they can solo the entire game alone

>>2342111
Not a micro transaction but...

Ranged weapons were creating orphaned items every time they were fired, which built up massively over time and severely bloated the save file. Fixed the issue and deleted the orphaned ammo, which brought save times down from 1.1 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

Fixes
>Item - Orphaned projectiles are no longer created when using a ranged weapon

Changes
>NPC - Necromancer guildmaster now sells witch reagents
>Skill - Discordance has been reworked
>Reduces Resists and Skills (stat reduction was removed)
>Utilizes a rolling duration, so it can be spammed on the same target
>Duration increase is now 10s for success and 4s for failure

>>2345407
>Reduces Resists and Skills (stat reduction was removed)
w...why? why would you nerf so much a skill that is such a pain in the ass to lvl up? Also, if it reduces resists, wouldn't that make the resist reduction bard songs redundant? or do they stack?

>>2345884
It already reduced resists. It's much easier to level now because you can spam it on the same mob. This is a Memento change from last year that I missed.

>>2345923
Do the reductions stack with the other bard res reduction songs?

>>2345932
Yes that hasn't changed

>>2345946
Any chance of getting a monster encyclopedia item or something on ultima online, so i know where to train my skills? :-c

>>2345946
Also, there is something extremely wrong with the food system, i ate 10 cheese, and 20 seconds later im starving to death.

>>2346206
I introduced a serialization error for about a day that resulted in FillFactor being set to 0. Buy/craft new food.

>>2346243
oh, ok

>>2346197
maybe even making it so, you only unlock information about the monster after killing, taming and or using musician skills on it.

>>2346197
>>2346283
I'll throw it in my idea hat.

>>2346311
>idea hat
Is it a literal hat?

>>2346861
Yeah

>>2346197
There is a monster encyclopedia ingame, some rare drop.

>>2348063
Ah right the Monster Manual.

>>2348063
oh wow, what kind of information does it contains?

>>2348223
You use it on monsters and you get all the info Druidism gives you for animals.

>>2348223
>>2348472
I think there are two of those. One of them also shows a lot of the enemies as pictures in a book (with info?). Or it's the same thing. Its been a while.

>>2338086
>>2339186
luclin was shit but PoP was good

>>2349884
desu luclin was mostly shit because of all the hp bloat. says a lot when plane of time bosses still have less hp than aten ha ra. while clearing trash is a significant portion of early everquest raids, it really dragged on in vex thal compared to places like ntov in previous expansions

>>2350278
yeah VT is a dogshit raid zone
even stuff like emp you can clear a third of an elemental plane in the time it takes to do that one encounter

>>2277001
Nyo

The invasion and the random adventure events feels so good.
I saved some peasants from a party of orcs.
And i got invaded by a knight while delving the morgain's inferno dungeon. Both enemies were extremely weak (for my lvl), but still, felt good.

SoloQuest updates:
>Removed the book to Plane of Knowledge from Field of Bone.
>Removed the Pathfinder/Collector task giver NPCs in the starting zones.
>Supplier NPCs renamed to 'Quartermaster x.' These are the NPCs in every starting city/poknowledge that sell tradeskill items.
>Sage NPCs renamed to 'x the Scryer.' These are the NPCs in every starting city/poknowledge that tell you where you can find a particular item/spell.
>Increased Origin recast time to 2 hours.
>Added Augmentation Distiller XIV to XVI to the augment merchants.
>Halved stun chance when mobs attack a player from behind.
>The ^applypotion bot command now works for all potions and all bots, not just Rogue bots with poisons. Level and class restrictions still apply.
>Noob armor questline weapons have had their dmg/stat scaling set to 70%.
The weapons awarded for completing your race/class noob armor quests have an expansion scaling mechanic which increases their dmg/stats based on the server's expansion, starting at 60% in Classic up to 100% in PoP. This server has personal account based progression, so it never made sense to leave them at 100% scaling, as nothing else really compares in Classic zones.

>The server now supports classic spell effects and the necessary files are now included in the server client files zip, which has a new link: https://mega.nz/file/ORpwmSza#o-mRMkGC0Hj0SXIedzSHoxFkJ_T4mvdUNLqxSz0ykng

>REMORT SYSTEM
So the remort system is kind of like multi classing? But just for AAs?
What happens to AAs that are specific to certain abilities on the original class that no longer exist on the new class?

>>2368679
>So the remort system is kind of like multi classing? But just for AAs?
Yep.
>What happens to AAs that are specific to certain abilities on the original class that no longer exist on the new class?
Like say backstab specific AAs for a Rogue who then remorts to a different class? They won't work.

>>2368686
i guess that's mildly interesting

>>2368300
>>The server now supports classic spell effects
based.
I haven't played in a hot minute but I think this will bring me back

>>2367772
Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you like it, but total tamer death desu. The dungeon invaders are supposed to ignore pets and stay on the player. Did he do that? I didn't actually test that part.

>>2370464
He did, and thats why it actually felt so easy to beat. I just juked while asked my pet to shred him. But even so, felt extremely weak, maybe its stats are not scaling with the dungeon difficulty level.

>>2370712
They're supposed to scale to the player they're invading. I definitely need to increase scaling for tamers.

>>2370729
>They're supposed to scale to the player they're invading. I definitely need to increase scaling for tamers.
nonono, tamers already feel extremely micro intensive against bosses (since bosses scale with the pet number apparently and have a shitton of HP as result), also, overall the bard "buffs" feel like a nerf, since i the duration now is really really low (but may be because im a shitty musician).
Anyways, what i really meant, is that the invader felt waay weaker than the mobs at the dungeon.

>>2370733
Boss HP scaling is based on the strength of your (non-summoned) pets, not necessarily the number of them. So yeah when you have 2 Wyrms HP scales a lot. There's an MOTD post in-game that breaks it down.
Anyway, as I suspected invaders weren't scaling properly for tamers. Should be fixed now.
