Yes, looking forward to it.

>>2665590
Based, what are you going to play first? I'm thinking Paladin/Cleric/Bard. Either a Froglok or a Human, depending on if I want to be a funny little frog guy or a cute girl. Might depend on the name I manage to reserve.

Already have it downloaded, along with the ui grid program, and the map packs i like. Everquest was my first mmo and i have fond memories of it and the people (mostly) i met there.

You doing this for solo play or grouping? It seems like groups will be much rarer in this version of Everquest unless you put in work to make it happen.

>>2668014
I'm mostly going to be solo, but I won't intentionally isolate myself either.

What's a good combo, with bard, magician or necro? Kind of want to be a supporty caster dps with bars/enchanter

>>2669393
Bards pair well with most things because they can just passively buff themselves, plus they give access to dual wield. I would suggest watching this video for a good overview of all of the classes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKGGN1X3yuk

I'm playing it now, Pld/Dru/Mnk at the moment, my biggest issue is that without all of the early dungeons being revamped, it feels like you're almost being funneled into Befallen, and I guess Blackburrow? The loot in those areas in particular is phenomenal, arguably overpowered.

It's been a nostalgia bomb everywhere I go. I hope they don't try to fuck us with the "micro"transactions.

>>2674734
Not just 1, but 3 troons. Imagine giving your money to a team of disgusting troons.

>>2677394
It's an eerie feeling but I question how much pushback the community would actually have for it, the fact it's a sub-based game is already iffy. But I'd rather they keep the subscription than try and nickel and dime us, realistically I probably won't even play past the first "Free" sub month from the box price.

>>2674734
TRVTH NUKE
I only see the most pathetic of boomers shilling this on youtube nonstop, all anti social style players.

Bard/Necro/Ench has been fun. just zooming mobs over

>>2678914
I swapped from Pld/Dru/Mnk to Pld/Shm/Ber after getting to 25 and getting all the teleports I wanted, it feels way cleaner. Is a lot of your damage on that build primarily from being able to double-gear and buff pets?

>>2665131
I played the beta. It gets pretty repetitive. There isn't anything to do other than kill kill kill, and sometimes you'll get a gear upgrade.
All the other incidental activities have been stripped from the world. Don't need to go to merchants, or the bank, or the market. You don't need to interact with anyone for services or help. No need to do any quest hustling, like with bonechips or crushbone belts.
It's a very narrow experience.

>>2679918
I don't think the game will last very long content wise, even the "updates" to dungeons they have are just loot changes. And looking in chat, you can see all kinds of people who are either dumb as bricks or never played the game before asking why their Ogre can't easily get spells for classes they usually can't play.

>>2679958
I caught the end of that stream. Someone had asked about quest itemization and the devs basically said "we'll see".
It's all so dumb.
I used to think poop sockers ruined the game, but now I realize it was the casuals who demanded the game change to suit them. I hate them.
I've always been a casual player. I never raided much. I just liked chilling in the world, trying out different camps and seeing what other players were up. I never had any expectation I'd get top tier gear, never wanted it either. But it was cool being a small part in a big world.

>>2679972
A lot of it seems to burn the fire of some of the changes Quarm made, where it's going to be an EQ+ kind of things. The reality is that it seems to be a way for Secrets and the other people at Gamejawn to eventually nickel and dime the playerbase by adding MTX, since people are already ready to defend only having two "loadouts" when the game is meant to allow you have hundreds of combos.

The hypercasualization really is present from the tutorial as well, giving out Jbootsjr to every class.

>>2680010
>lot of it seems to burn the fire of some of the changes Quarm made, where it's going to be an EQ+ kind of things
But even on Quarm, you still had to deal with certain realities. Coins had weight, you'd have to sell vendor trash to make money (and you can't origin so you are rewarded knowing local merchants)
You needed other players for key buffs. No OOC regen.
Just all the little things that added friction that felt rewarding to overcome, even though it didn't directly reward experience.
All those little things are lacking in EQL.
I think Quarm was probably the last opportunity to play something resembling EQ with a large leveling population, and I'm glad I was a part of it.
>MTX
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of shit they pull with this.
>>2679972
>But it was cool being a small part in a big world
And to add to this, I'd rather never kill Nagafen than be able to kill Nagafen every week.

>>2680060
It honestly feels like raids should've been left as group content, having an online game built around being entirely soloable feels awkward, and somewhat dishonest when it comes to being a game with a sub.

>>2674993
That's exactly what's going on. Overland should have been given some love there especially after the dungeon exp nerf. They want people going everywhere in the game but only made a few worth going to other than for exploration purposes.

>>2680305
I also think they put far too much stuff in Befallen, and that it'll make them being able to put worthwhile loot in other instances leading up to getting planar gear either infinitesimally small or just not worth getting. The power creep on gear is already insane, and it feels like it'll just get much worse.

>>2678815
Everquest was made for antisocial retards. 90% of the community boxes instead of forming groups lol

Trying out Iksar Monk/Cleric/Enchanter 'cuz Iksar was my favorite race and those were my favorite classes back when I played the original Everquest when I was a kid.

>>2682422
I really regret not just starting Iksar

>>2682620
But this is a beta where everything gets wiped. There is nothing to regret about whatever you try. Feel free to mess around. Me and my friend have both agreed that we'll be trying a bunch of different things across different rerolls. No point in getting attached to something that will get erased. For example, I have determined that playing Iksar without Kunark is suicidal so at launch I will play something else. I can change to Iksar later using those tokens or whatever.

>>2682881
Playing Iksar without Greenmist is like going a day without beating a gnome to death

>>2682881
>without Kunark
Starting in Kunark is my favorite perk of being a lizard at all. Who wants to start in the shitty desert!

Magician or necro with bard?

>>2685856
You could do both, you'd have a ton of spell options though. What's your other third?

I like how the Iksar transported the ancient ruined stone from Kunark to Antonica.
Like why would they do that? They must really like that stone.

I kind of hate how the race unlocks are stuff like handing in fifty million muffins

>>2685930
just buy a token from the cash shop bruh

>>2685932
That's the thing though, the reason it's "reasonable" for them to do this is because it's a faction gain thing instead of being a quest of some sort.

Ranger gods its OUR time.

Which pride flag are you guys buying first from the mtx store?

Having no placeholders in "revamped" dungeons makes going to other dungeons feel really weird, in that it almost feels like it reinforces that you'll get most of your gear doing Befallen/Najena because you can KNOW you're getting drops there.

>>2692737
I liked the old PH system/camping and I really liked knowing if the mob had a particular weapon by seeing it. I presume the lazy upgrade system they introduced and the player-specific loot system are what got those removed. Kind of a bummer but I might be in the minority.

>>2692839
Honestly, I get that there's "personal loot" but if it's personal loot it shouldn't differentiate with what the mob is holding in my opinion. I admit, I never played classic everquest, I've played P99 and Quarm, but even early on not having that feeling of seeing a skeleton with a cracked staff and beelining toward it for the cash feels weird.

I also don't mind the PH/Camping system, but I feel like they've set a really odd precedent with how revamped dungeons operate and it feels like they plan to eventually have that encompass the entire game. I think it's an overall bad change because people will have to go through lower level content over and over and it'll make it feel like you're getting less and less out of doing it because you're not going to get that lucky spawn, or that lucky drop.

>>2692875
While we are complaining, let me add another: They're putting in a forgiveness system for Plane of Sky that will favor your current 3 classes over the ones you aren't using- as far as drops are concerned. I worry that will either cause balancing headaches or it's going to be a pain in the ass to get things for alternative setups you suck at but enjoy playing.

>revamped dungeons
I'd rather they added new dungeons/overland zones instead of mutilating the old ones, but I understand the laziness behind it. The loot concerns you have are substantial. I wonder what the detriment to the gameplay loop that's already handicapped by the limited content that is vanilla Everquest will end up being. Is everybody really going to grind their one character to full 50s classes? Can't be me.

>>2692958
>While we are complaining, let me add another: They're putting in a forgiveness system for Plane of Sky that will favor your current 3 classes over the ones you aren't using- as far as drops are concerned.

That sounds kind of shitty, considering the way to unlock other primary classes is by finishing their Sky quests. Or at least it sounds like it'd be shitty.

I also agree that a lack of overland play is weird, on the first day of the buy-to-beta it was full of people in /1 asking for their ogres or whatever to get group ported to Befallen. A version of Everquest that actively discourages exploration feels really out of place.

>>2692737
I hate the revamped dungeons and gear. As the days go on I just think more and more than I want to get off Secrets' wild ride. I don't want to play tranny OC I want to play EQ, but like the version that I was playing that they took down and replaced with this shit.

>>2693204
I think gear being as good as it is in Befallen is incredibly short-sighted and they're now afraid to nerf it because of community backlash. Even playing P99 I fondly remember getting my first set of banded gear and being so excited for that stat and visual change, having my character look like that much more an experienced adventurer. And Befallen shits out stuff that's magnitudes better than stuff that's ridiculously strong.

>>2693214
Between the revamps and spell upgrades and loadout slots and inventory slots and character slots it's clear to me they have no idea wtf they're doing. It very much comes across as a bunch of disjointed ideas without any actual design behind them. I honestly don't think this will interest me past the first included month.

>>2693226
I think with the loadouts and other things that are going to be shoved in as mtx/achievements that both "Game Jawn" and Daybreak overplayed their hand, but being that Daybreak has managed to keep games like DCUO up based around boomers paying for stupid dogshit I imagine they'll be able to keep the game afloat on pensions for a while.

How have you guys been enjoying pet classes?
After finally getting access to Shm's it changed up my playstyle a bit. I was thinking on launch that I might want to go Brd/Shm/Nec because it's so often been better to tank up in evasive stance and let my pet do a little extra work while DoTs tick

For me, it's SoloQuest

The fact that they are limiting it to old school models already makes this superior to THJ. The fact that one of the THJ devs preferred new models always made it a schizophrenic mess to look at.

I think it was Broken Stoic who said it, but some streamer mentioned that the team wants to revamp Kunark's starting experience. I'm more worried about that than I should be- I love Kunark.
*edited to fix my retardation

>>2704262
And why shouldn't you be worried about it? Have you seen what they are doing so far? People talking about getting fucking "befallen geared" to prep for endgame. It's rancid. I don't want to kill the same guaranteed spawns for dupes of the same guaranteed drops so I can merge them like a fucking phone game. Nothing about that is EQ to me. I'm glad that I think the game sucks otherwise I would be even more pissed off about the in-game shop. Having a fake currency at all is shit and charging $5 for a single loadout slot is shit. It's all shit. The revamps and custom content are exactly what Secrets was trying to do on Quarm before DBG shut that shit down. His ideas are just bad.

>>2704433
I really don't see how they're going to actually put gear better than Befallen's in some of these areas since it seems like you're meant to go from Pristine Leather to Planar. I was excited to get a Ykesha from LGuk then realized outside of the proc (Which can be removed from it), it's not even that much better, if at all better than the weapons I'd gotten from a fucking level 25ish dungeon mob

>>2704433
I knew nothing of Secrets and when EQL was announced I was warned not to trust the tranny. I see wisdom in those words now. Was losing interest in EQL seeing how they are completely fucking the old-world itemization and the cash show was the final nail. The paypigs defending it too are just rancid.

How about emu servers? Anything worth playing? Is that Evangelical anon still running that solo server? I tried perkeycrew but I really don’t want to use macroquest.

eql is meant to be an officially monetized funserver and is probably the first ever mmo to do so

>>2714988
THJ felt a lot less jank than EQL. It felt a lot more like EQ too, where you run around and explore and progress through stuff instead of nolifing it in a tiny number of revamped dungeons with completely fucked itemization. Even if they finish revamping the dungeons before launch (they won't), what is the point of the rest of the zones? You have no reason to do fucking anything in the actual world on EQL. Things can be fun if they're unbalanced jank but EQL isn't even that. It's just a bunch of systems thrown together incoherently. They put in a lot more work than the THJ devs for a much worse product which, ironically, is setting them up to put even more work in to keep things going because they've fucked things up so fundamentally. They're going to be expected to revamp more and more things and redo all itemization going forward.

>>2715033
i think you're on crack desu
in thj you leveled in 4-5 good grind zones for your combo and then did raids

there was no reason to go anywhere(besides epic quests) unless you wanted to collect the waypoints and everyone zoomed through the lower levels so fast that you might as well have started at level 50

idk how you came to that conclusion at all, if anything EQL seems annoyingly insistent on having actual progression instead of getting 100+AAs per pull and full grinding your class in a day

I'm going to play it. I never got to see Nagafen or Innoruuk or Cazic alive, despite being there when they were current.
Got death touched by dread and got half the book for Fiery Defender but when Gates of War came out everyone stopped playing.
Since I'm an old player I already know what I want to play. A paladin, but with stronger heals and stronger melee dps. So, cleric + melee with a caster as a third.
Once I've seen the sights I want to see I will unsub til next expansion because I'm not grinding up to +10 on crap.
Glad the game exist, community seems clueless and the wiki gives shitty info for raising factions. They removed velious newbie armor quest npcs but not velious armor quests etc so I'm going to complete as many epic quests as I am able.
I'm also going to put the sol ro iridescent wand on an Enc Monk for stunlock giggles.
I get it, the game is old and you're gonna have a lot of people that weren't born yet playing, but I remember having erp sessions in town and we all swore at each other pretty loosely.
I'm gonna be mad if I fat shame an ogre in Sol B because he wanted frontal stun immunity and didn't think about how most dungeons are mostly toilet paper tubes.

F. Impressive run.

>>2717331
>I'm going to play it.
I am too, but I'm not going to level up every class to 50. I'll stick to a few combinations I enjoy. If that means I have to create alts on different servers due to character creation limit then so be it. My favorite part of Everquest is experiencing foreign zones and the racial cultures through alting and I'm not buying character slots fuck that. Also to add to your ogre comment, I remember troll and ogre players heavily roleplaying for no reason in groups and finding it quite amusing. Those fatties were easily the most devoted to their characters.

>>2715125
>in thj you leveled in 4-5 good grind zones for your combo and then did raids
Until they revamp more dungeons, EQL is incentivized to be just like this - especially because getting repeat items increases their power.

>Crushbone and Splitpaw reworked tomorrow
Yippee

>>2719426
I've been in Crushbone for multiple hours and never saw Dvinn once. That's all the reworking it needs is to bring back that bad mother fucker.

Is this version of EQ alright for people who've never played? Would people even group even though you already have a lot of personal power, or is it a solo only server? I'd need someone to hold my hand for a little so that sort of determines if I'd even try playing or not.

>>2719767
I'm sure guilds will prop up that are welcoming to new players, but EQL is really solo friendly it's true. Still, I do miss playing with friends doing things we probably shouldn't be able to, and EQL only encourages that type of thing because of the power fantasy it instills. I also have to mention this whole project is a memberberries situation with less shame and more cash shop. So be prepared for that.

>>2719782
I don't mind it as long as it's not "Oh you didn't buy this? Sorry you're not welcome." If it's just random bits and bobs or cosmetics I don't really care that much. I'll have to give it a look. I played P1999 once and I didn't stick around because I had no one to play with.

>>2719785
>P1999
That version is for the most part still in line with original EQ where grouping is required for a lot of the content. EQL is certainly not that. You can do all the content solo if you care to play the game like that. I myself would prefer to duo for funsies but it's certainly not required.

>>2719792
Well I want to group but I went in by myself and really didn't see another person at all when I was outside attempting to kill things alone.

>>2719785
>If it's just random bits and bobs
The game is designed around the need to buy those bits and bobs though. You only get two load outs. If you want more you have to buy them. If there is a way to unlock them in game, it will be grindy and limited. They have an incentive to design the game to push you to the cash shop instead of designing the game for satisfying gameplay
>or cosmetics
This is acceptable, if i can turn off all extra cosmetics on my end. I don't want to see the stupid shit other people buy because they think it looks cool.

Where are you getting your updates about the game? please don't tell me the gay discord.

Crushbone is a loot pinata now in the Befallen model. Are all dungeons getting this treatment?

>>2723022
I think so. It would make sense for them to all get looked at.
I don't get the dungeon craze though. I checked out Crushbone and yeah each of the bosses drop a piece of gear but unless you think X dungeon is the coolest thing ever, I don't see why people aren't just hanging out in the world and then when you're ready for end game just crank all the baby dungeons to +4 and grab all the goodies you want with no stress

>>2723229
Sounds like a really fun way to approach it. I could see myself doing something similar, and taking Druid and Wizard for reasons of exploration instead of power gaming.

Is there any way to know what quests are worth doing without googling?

>>2723229
The people who rushed to fifty definitely seemed to be running builds that would clear difficulty 0 quickly, it's not like the difference is that big while leveling when it comes down to being able to go in later to get stuff.

>>2725339
The game isn't very upfront. You can pull procs off of weapons if you level them up, so I'd go and see what weapons have procs you like and collect them.
If I do enchanter monk I'm pulling the stun off of the temple of sol ro wand, etc.

>>2726095
Honestly I think it's insane how little of the extra stuff in the game is explained, if anywhere that isn't in-game in chat or the discord.

>>2726862
A lot of the stuff I know already because I played EQ 25ish years ago, but they added new stuff to Crushbone like a slave master key and a Sarialyin lute and I can't figure out what they're for.
It's good too in a way. When things are convoluted the herd doesn't catch on to things quick so it takes a while for things like the Paineel guards to get a faction attached to them etc.
One thing I noticed is they removed the Indigo Brotherhood hit from Crushbone so if you wanted you could do the orc pawn pick quest to raise your Indigo Brotherhood faction then kill in Crushbone to restore Elf and human warrior faction. Little stuff like that is possible now.

>>2696441
I wouldn't mind newer models when Shadows of Luclin came out if not for the fact that it was such a half ass implementation back in 2001 where all the new player models looked stiff and hollow as fuck while much of the world was still using pre-Luclin model. It was and still is jarring as fuck looking at EQlive utilizing a mixture of pre and post luclin models together, especially in cities. That type of massive project should've been an expansion that should've been in the oven for 2 1/2 years before it came out.
And "schizophrenic mess" is probably the best way to describe it.

>>2728053
They've already told players they won't be adding Luclin models, the entire game they're looking to "add" after Kunark is really nebulous itself. A lot of what they actually do add is going to make or break the game because I don't see anyone paying for this each month for a long time just to grind Sky and Planar gear to +10.

>>2728053
>>2728063
You can enable Luclin models using GlobalLoad.txt, at least on the beta. It'll get overwritten by the patcher so launch with eqgame.exe patchme to bypass. Supposedly they weren't allowed to let players use them because they weren't able to license them from Daybreak.

I was thinking that Brd and Shm might be good as free classes but I think the Knights might be better just because of how unlocks actually work, that or Warrior.

Ogres having full frontal stun immunity is also somehow more broken here.

>>2729981
>Ogres having full frontal stun immunity
A lot of players/builds aren't using CC and are tanking a room of mobs at a time. Ogre is so very good in that situation. The AA Steadfast Will may make up for it, but I don't know how high it goes.

>>2730075
Steadfast goes up to 80%, and ogres have a fuckton of Strength and the cap is so ridiculously high they still won't hit it, so as long as you have enough resources you can play the BIG RETARD smack around build.

>>2728063
>>2729020
Sorry, I meant "I didn't mind the concept of newer models with Shadows of Luclin" as in when the expansion came out in 2001, not anything to do with this specific server.
Also am I the only one who felt that Velious's layout sucked and was too focused on dungeon chokepoints for most of the overland zones?

I have a feeling players are going to really dislike how difficult it is to +10 not only gear but spells. Call people autistic, but not having a max item or spell will feel bad. 100% cash shop fix coming.

>>2729020
I don't get why anyone would want Luclin models. They were never finished properly and are half assed. Especially ogre, troll and Iksar.
If your idiot races aren't scratching their asses, its over.

Steadfast will overrides everything that makes ogre special, does need shrink to navigate dungeons and lets you play a race that has sneak so you can use any vendor at any time without class juggling to rogue or monk. People going ogre for an advantage are being sold a boat for a shallow lake.

The amount of people who are piping up about how ready they are to do things like buy bags and AA potions means that enough of the community will ignore any slippery slopes and just keep buying stuff, that's kind of the daybreak MO from what I've played of their games, though. People continually go on about the game being in continual development as the reasoning for a subscription fee but the game will still subsist almost entirely off whales.

>>2731720
I dunno, there's only so many bags and AA you can buy, and to be honest it feels like the only thing worth buying is that 50 slot bank bag.
I hope they sell cosmetics like bikinis and nude skins.

I have seen this as well. Not only are they eager about making these purchases, they are announcing it with pride in an open forum as if they were the moral authority. As miser, it doesn't make sense to me. If only they were sock accounts being used by Daybreak to normalize this dumbfuckery. I'm going to misuse that Frenchman's quote, but hell is other people.

>>2732947
Fortunately I don't think anyone with at least a moderate level of internet savvy looks at reddit or discord as places of serious thought.
If the devs want to smell their own farts while bathing in the hubris of internet idiots, that'll be their chapter in this book of EverQuest.
On the other side I hope they're not going to be a bunch of 'We looked at the numbers and adjusted' like the Dead by Daylight devs that while they have a popular game, the community pretty loudly agree the dev team is not a great fit for the their game.
They're going to have to do something that even the live server EverQuest devs don't do..
Listen to the casual EQ player, that isn't going to be posting on forums or in game, of which there should be many due to the nature of Legends.
How? They better figure it out. Or like I said, succumb to hubris. I'm just going to enjoy what they put out and leave if the game becomes annoying, which I think is fair.

>>2733008
i dont think the game will be a massive failure, but secrets will make it shitty. especially if hes already made claims that he will or wont do a specific thing, you can bet that he will 180 on it at some point.

>>2733176
Unless you're Kojima or Shigeru Miyamoto etc, game devs hop around like crazy. If they do good, they'll get promoted, if they do bad, they'll get let go, but I doubt they'll just stay here on this project forever and ever.
At least you already know they're known for making promises like Elon Musk does. That means you can pretty much ignore them.
Ideally.

>>2734783
I think the upgrade system throws a really big wrench into gearing in general that shouldn't exist, or at least not up to +10. The power creep they've set in place for how good gear will have to be a place like a revamped LGuk to then continue to overtake planes, which will need it's own revamp is silly. Gearing honestly should have been kept as it was in the base game and revamped dungeons feel more like a mistake the more they're implemented.
No placeholders is also going to hurt the game more and more going forward. The game will see a surge in revenue from people not wanting to unlock races/classes on release day to start "how they want" then nosedive after people get bored.

>>2734989
This is basically my prediction; THJ numbers on launch quickly followed by a steep and steady decline

>>2734989
All of the revamped zones would be cool if it was more widespread. But currently its just reducing the scope of the game down to a few zones. Upgrading is definitely amplifying that, but they could make it work if they put more effort into it.
I think they screwed up by having a streamable beta so early. The game feels like its being rushed out before the average gamer dad realizes how little EQL actually offers once you've settled on a trio you like. Its not even good as a nostalgia romp because theres little reason to go to most zones. When you have befallen gear being good enough to solo the planes, you end up with even less incentive to leave the few designated leveling areas. Beastlords are in an embarrassing state. AA are all over the place in value. The spell upgrade system was put in earlier than they planned as a bandaid to the caster problem. Theres so many things that show the game isn't ready but they want the money to keep it going before people lose interest.

>>2735367
They definitely wanted to put the game out before summer ends to try and catch people who were going to buy just the box and sub for a bit who've not played EQ before as well.

This project flopping would honestly be the best possible outcome for all Everquest fans.

>>2735720
The best outcome for all REAL EverQuest fans would be for the project to limp along holding just enough attention from Secrets and DBG devs to ignore all the actual good servers that real fans want to play.

Something that makes me giggle is watching newbies explain tracking to another player.
For non Rangers/Druids/Bards, it's a tiny ass circle you can see by just manually looking around.
For rangers it's a gigantic sphere of multicolored dots. That's not helpful.
You have to use the track menu, scroll through to find who/what you want, then go to that NPC.
We used to use Sense Animal/Detect undead etc to find things.
Also watch them give the SolA gnomes loot but keep the faction hits in so if you hunt there gnomes become even more of a pain in the ass to unlock.

>>2736468
>gnomes become even more of a pain in the ass to unlock.
gnomes are not for unlocking they are for eating

i think the main problem they had was the huge disparity in weapons between classic/kunark causing issues. when kunark launches you basically have to nuke melee or they will be op, or you need to leave them shitty until kunark.

all because verant "fixed" melee by forcing people to buy an expansion and invalidating all old weapons rather than just making melee better.

>>2736603
I hadn't really thought of that, but I'd only played P99 and Quarm in the past, but it does remind me of getting a Green Jade Broadsword for the first time on P99 and it feeling like I'd finally gotten ahold of a "Real" weapon.

I feel that the way I intend on playing the game, will keep me from being enticed by their shitty cash shop at all. If that ever changes then I'm out. They can pretend to hand wave the sub fee off all they want. Plenty of emulated servers out there.

>>2737445
I honestly probably plan to main a Knight class and not get all lost in the sauce of too many of the things they want to sell, race and class unlocks being the way they are price wise is pretty nasty given the disparity in how some races are unlocked, but that more or less incentivizes people who care to start as ogres.

>>2737445
most of this shit is totally unneeded unless you are a hoarder or allergic to grinding. as it is this game doesn't have enough content to last. leveling is quite fast and weekly lockouts on raids basically means there is nothing to do at all besides unlocks when you are done grinding the few higher level dungeons.
>>2738046
the races seem like they will be pretty easy to unlock, esp with everyone having illusion access. the faction rates are extremely boosted and losses are minimal in comparison.
knight is a good call since they are actually functional and complete.


casters besides shaman/cleric/enchanter seem extremely half-baked and pet stuff is just straight up broken/unimplemented. i really don't think they will all be finished even in a month or two.

>>2738307
The races for the most part are easy, I'm not even sure Troll is fully implemented out of the "base" races and that Ogre requires a multiple hour foraging grind while a lot of the other races just rely on handing in a lot of vendor bought items.

>>2738329
merchants of oggok is actually literally impossible to raise(in any version of eq), they will probably fix it at some point.
if grobb is working right it should only need a few newbie mob grinds, bone chips etc. but who knows what's broke there.

>>2738552
>merchants of oggok is actually literally impossible to raise
It'd be hilarious if they didn't fix it by release and the only way to get ogre if you didn't choose it was for $15

Well they have a week to implement dollar store Vah Shir, all the race unlocks and have more than crushbone and befallen ready. I'm curious on what they'll do.

>>2740788

Bristlebane because it's the server I'm originally from. People say its a neutral god but if you look at faction adjustments outside of like, one faction it gets treated as a good deity and offers no benefits.
Neutral my ass.
Still, Bristlebane is a fun concept so its fun to roleplay with it so I'm happy.

I just want to say that if you give Secrets money you are a terrible person and should be ashamed of yourself. Good day.

>>2744541
you can change class whenever and charm doesn't stop being op on a server that raises the level limit of charm spells so high. effectively removing the level restriction on charm is going to be outrageously powerful even if one or two broken mobs gain immunity. enchanter is a safe bet, great for leveling too.

I dunno. This is the power fantasy version of the game. I've never given a shit how powerful someone's single player character was before.

I'm trying to decide on a server
To my understanding (which may not be accurate)
Qeynos is west coast America
Freeport is east coast America
Neriak is for try hards
Rivervale is for RP and streamers
EU servers are for people born in the incorrect place
I don't know what the other servers skew towards, but I want to play with people that are awake when I am
...or maybe I don't so they'll all be asleep and I'll get the open world spawns to myself...
Decisions...

Servers gone for a week

>>2747626

>>2746990
Personally, I'm probably going to have a character on every server. Forget that paying for character slots crap. Might be jarring to log into what ever the E(RP) server ends up being.

>>2745593
they won't allow multipets because secrets or someone else's genius build on thj was slightly weaker than nec/mag/bst
but this server's dev team is like is the all-star charm jerkoff team so i don't expect it to ever get nerfed regardless of how much it dominates the meta.

Classes on here are meant to feel strong out the gate, its why Warriors got Cleave as an example. Bards are the only class that didn't get anything to help them feel not shit until they are leveled, moted, and aa'd and I personally think that that is a problem. A Bard in this version of Everquest shouldn't feel like a P99 Bard until its fucking level50, aa'd and moted. Even live Everquest knew this was a problem and gave them an aa called Selo's kick which is a nuke built into the kick that can't miss. Zero reason this shouldn't be added to help improve the experience or at least SOMETHING to make it not feel like p99

Im not. Quite frankly im sick of the attempts at trying to re-release old content because everything modern is shit. The solution isnt to add quality of life to old games. Todays developers are retarded. This wouldnt even exist if they didnt shutdown the private server that allowed for multiclassing. Even modern day official servers feel like private servers.
>May shut down any day, may not take off, may be developed in a retarded way, may be pay2win

I like Everquest, but giving everyone the ability NOT to work together goes against what "old school" mmos were all about. It may be fun doing multiple things, but i believe its a huge step back for mmos in general.

>giving everyone the ability NOT to work together goes against what "old school" mmos were all about.
Not only does Runescape disprove this but in 2026 not working together and having a more of a Runescape like adventure is what the majority of the people prefer. If you play other MMOs you would know this, when people group they don't talk, in voip they don't have mics, general channels are mainly only used as advertisements. This of course isn't how it always is but its how it is more often then not. The old school MMO dream is dead and the future of MMOs will be Runescape like and or something we have yet to experience yet.

Requiring people to group to make meaningful progress/do all the content was actually novel to EQ when it released. MUDs and proto MMOs were mostly very solo friendly. This isn't to say you should play EQL (you shouldn't).

>>2751620
What do you mean? Compared to Knights, Warriors get:
>Higher HP
>Higher AC
>Higher Crit Chance
>Dual Wield
>Triple Attack
Seems pretty good to me

>>2752872
sadly that's how it is, you can swap classes whenever so they don't really seem to care much if they are shit or lategame only or w/e.

for example bard might be bad without AAs but look at a class like druid, purely useless, shaman but bad. zerkers are great for leveling but useless for anything that hits hard. there are also the extremely restrictive, borderline useless classes like mage/beastlord that hardly stack well with anything. beastlord in particular will never be good in any build for the time being because the cap is 50, which means they don't get a decent slow, etc.

>>2754811
they also get a regen AA that scales with maxhp which is incredibly good

Don't worry bro the 8aa Rampage ability that hits all targets around you on a 15minute cooldown is now on a 8min cooldown, warriors are back baby!

>warrior becomes a meme compared to the other tanks anytime 3rd party people are involved with game balance

>>2760285
>Frenzy and Cleave now reduce the cooldown of rampage
I dont like the direct reliance on another classes ability to make your class specific ability work. that feels like bad design.

>>2760352
Rampage is an AA available to Warriors and Berserkers, who get Cleave and Frenzy respectively. Rampage is something like a singular attack all the mobs around you every three years even with added cooldown reduction. It's bad design because when you attach other classes, Paladins can smite forever and SKs can Reave forever whereas the Warriors and Berserkers could do that anyway but aren't getting nearly as much from their abilities and don't exist in a vacuum.

>>2760362
I'm retarded I thought Rampage was just Warriors carry on I'll stfu

it's sad that they are clearly balancing classes around future content instead of what the game is launching with.
these niggers are lazy fucks, just buff the strongest shit already even more...
they don't seem to want people to run any trio other than tank/sham/x or tank/enc/x or some ranger+dps build

>>2760347
war is actually great but you are almost forced to pair it with monk(or pal) so that it can equip weapons that aren't shit, sk is still worse than warrior i think.
mnk/pal is also pretty good though.

>>2760456
SK is going to be doing a lot better after the Harm Touch changes, I think access to Pal weapons still makes Pal the best, though.
I'll be playing an Iksar so I refuse to be a Paladin.

>>2760631
i think in meta sk is more for bulk in caster builds since it's considered an arcane caster for that invocation

May be interesting to choose as a starting pick if their race is hard to unlock, choosing anything over Ogre from a usefulness perspective is still hard

>>2764030
It's just a Vah Shir, but here's my thing:
You can get the steadfast AA for physical stun immunity. If you want to utilize ogre stun immunity, you have to play with ogre. Which means you need that shrink clicky from Blackburrow and a bunch of other caveats.
There's no AA to get sneak, sure you can switch to a rogue or monk, but if you're just playing a race where sneak is innate, you don't have to think about it. Not all vendors are in towns.
Cats could be a good roll, depending on what deity they have to worship.

>>2764078
It'd be nice if they had a fun custom god, but I imagine for a while they'll just be agnostic and they'll tell people to haha just unlock the gods later by questing.

>>2764081
I dunno, the gods in EQ were barely utilized as it was. Some gods could only be worshiped by a very small niche of class/race combos (Veeshan by bards, Prexus by a few, Solusek by a few, The Tribunal, Rodcet Nife etc).
It's basically a Bertoxxulus, Innoruuk, Cazic Thule, Brell, Agnostic, Tunare and Karana world.
It would be neat if they found a reason to utilize a very not often worshiped god before they branched off into new ones.

The only cards these guys are gonna be handing in at the Keledim Warriors guild are credit cards, and it'll mean they get bored of the game faster too.

I still can't get over how many servers they're launching with. Do they really think they'll have more players than completely free THJ? Why do you even need so many servers when everyone can spin up their own instance of every zone? It's so dumb. This whole project is a fucking trainwreck.

>>2770710
I understand them having separate ones for US and EU, but having this many really does seem crazy, I agree. Especially since they'll all be diluted into one or two servers later on, I think it's more hubris on display than anything, and that they just need to let people have alts instead of saying "Well you can play it over there".

>>2770710
>>2770734

Bet them squirmed and bitched because someone dare sayeth that the emperor was naked, bereft of clothes.
>>2771233
Yeah I'm giving it a few days. I'm in no hurry, and if I were my grand reward would be competing with everyone for everything until they hide in their instance.
Nah.
Looking forward to playing the game, however. Being able to see Innoruuk, the dragons and Cazic eye alive and on demand is really cool.

>>2771257
I'm excited to run around as some giga-Iksar, play around with different builds, butt Kunark isn't going to be here until Christmas(?) so it's not like missing a day or even a few means much, which is kind of nice in the mmo space nowadays.

>>2770710
If they don't need the extra servers they can literally just merg them whenever. When teek/tormax launched teek for like 20,000 players while tormax got like 5000 players and literally within the first few hours of launching daybreak just restarted the servers throwing tormaxes extra server space over to teeks to manage the load

>>2771233
I'm going to attempt to login when I get home from work tonight, but if there's issues, I'll just wait until next week

zamn!

>>2772882
I look like that and dress like that

>PH removals and respawn lowered in several still "Vanilla" dungeons
Nice, I can get the gear I wanted from them while leveling now.

how are the servers holding up?

>Queues removed
Neat

>>2773628
lol no shit. why would they even need queues with all those soon to be empty servers?

>>2773285
Looks playable right now. One of the servers are on Medium pop and the others are on high. Gonna wait til I actually have time to create my character, but unless the real life server falls over, things seem stable.

>People are buying primary class tokens to play the classes they want with the races they want
>The devs never actually made the tokens work before level 11 so people are having meltdowns over MTX not working already
kek

>>2768945
I hate seeing this in person. And if you point it out, even nicely, they get royally offended.
>Stop buying games full price and deluxe edition, you rarely play past a few hours.
>You don't even play MTG anymore stop buying it.
>You don't even paint your minis don't buy the launch box.
And reminder these are said in nicer ways.

>>2773885
I bet if they got the class/race combo they wanted, they wouldn't like the newbie area and move to a different one.
Paineel's newbie area for baby Cazic worshippers into Warrens is top tier, but guarantee it's going unused.
>But you have to play Erudite
Neutrals start dubious

Thank you for abandoning your principles to consoom my product, anon.

>>2773974
You're welcome Mr. Furlong

They completely nerfed the loot. D4 now has a chance to drop +4 but it’s very heavily weighted to give you a +2. They’re saying they simply forgot to mention this in the patch notes.

>>2774120
Stage 1 of motes in the store : Prepping the base game

>>2773974
My principles are to only buy games with male devs though.

>>2774120
Dunno why everyone was going crazy over those +4 rusty long swords. Despite the wisdom of 'Stay in X dungeon for 50 days and upgrade 1 piece of gear' people should be getting to 50 at a reasonable pace then doing planes at each difficulty and absorbing actual gear.
Alas, enjoy your befallen gear that will last you to the planes because you're gonna see the planes in 2028 and you've gotta be ready with opened condom wrapper +10

As expected

>>2774833
Is that happening on every server? I randomly chose freeport and idk if I accidentally chose the most popular server but shit kinda sucks right now. No private instances, everything is camped, no one wants to group.

>>2774843
I think Freeport or Rivervale is the most popular? I haven't even tried logging in all day since I figure it won't matter if I miss a day or two.

>>2774736
why does it suck so bad then?

Unfortunately not as I hate the idea of multiclassing

>>2734518

I played P99 for a bit and enjoyed exploring the world and stuff, seeing all the NPCs and hidden zones and stuff, but I couldn't solo past a certain point.

Is this a fun thing to try if I'm only really interested in exploring the world/mindless grinding?

>>2774967
That's all there really is to do

>>2774967
Just play SoloQuest if that's all you want to do. It's free and run by an anon.

>>2774846
Rivervale ended up the RP/some streamers/Gay alphabet people server so they'll melt if something doesn't fit their cult ideal of how people should act
Freeport has the big streamers and is supposed to be EST
Qeynos already has the reputation of being the "Chud" server. As I was trolling during the beta I can't help but feel a little responsible for that but there's some "Chud" guilds there now.
For people like us that means grouping opportunities without worrying about offending someone as the pansies aren't on that server.
I'm kind of annoyed. I'm trying to keep tabs on news for this game since I'm going to play it this weekend but suddenly everything is barren news wise.
The only new stuff I've gleamed is that people don't like how Kerrans run (its the Vah Shir skeleton) and the Kerra Isle NPCs don't show up on Find but use the modern task windows to track quests.
So if you absolutely must have modern ways of doing thing, Kerrans are for you.

>>2774967
p99 is very easy to solo as long as your starting class is Enchanter(the protagonist class). you can mostly solo anything that isn't a raid as long as you tryhard.

necro and shaman are also good solo classes, shaman kind of sucks to play until around level 24-34 though but it can still solo those too.

so, we got a guild going yet?

>>2776610
I'm just a passing shadow/streaming this time so I'm not planning to make one. Qeynos seems like a good place to hang out if anyone else wants to.

Double posting but there's a hp/mana/endurance regen item in the Kerran starting area.
Take the quests from Sha'rr(sp?) and complete those then mote for the enchantment to use it on other things.

>>2776663
What are the actual stats on it like? Regen stuff feels a lot less effective with how fast it already is in-combat.

>>2776700
It's not super great, its +2 and basic baby gear stats. It's notable in that its one of the few endurance regen items which prolongs your stances.
Kerrans are a good race so the NPC tier Ogre/Iksar race rollers that don't know any better are learning about how faction works in EQ the hard way so that's funny.
It's not an item worth dropping whatever you're doing to go get, but if you're in the neighborhood its a nice enchant for your neck/any/any slot so its +6 regen.
Definitely going to lose its luster as stats inevitably bloat but its a nice toy.

>>2777064
I started as Iksar because I thought plat would be as prevalent as in the beta, but they've definitely dropped the rates on random trash gear that you can sell to line your pockets, I don't think unlocking a good race is still all that expensive, especially the elves/half-elf

>>2777064
faction is the endgame, also ogres/iksar can just sub ench and go anywhere lol

>>2777081
I mean overall you'll be fine. I'm specifically referring to actual newbies who read 'roll ogre and iksar' and are getting colonscopies from the Kerran guards because they didn't know that was going to be an issue.
I'm personally going to roll halfling, hunt humanoids and golem in the Beholders maze, take the ore bricks and do blacksmithing, turn the rest into metal bits and turn into the Iksar person and turn the silver bars into the gnome in the karanas. Then just fill in the ore as necessary.
Yes you can roll rogue for sneak but not all vendors will always be in town and once you play with sneak its kind of hard not to.

>>2776663
thanks for the information. no way in hell im ever making a kerran so i may never have found out about this otherwise.

Is it true that personal instances aren't working? Id love to play the game and be able to see/encounter other players in the world, even if it's only for a couple of days. It's what I liked about the beta.

>>2779583
i've had no trouble making them though you have to be careful with using up the limited charges which is bullshit

>>2779583
Freeport and Rivervale (The reddit and LGBT servers) were overloaded and they had to push a patch to fix those two specific servers.
It was an issue for only those two servers, everyone else can play normally.

Necro/bst/enchanter has been fun mega rape pet + dotting feels nice

>>2780051
charm pet+frenzied burnout is the true mega rape pet, can add shaman for puma too

>>2780139
Oh yea forgot about burnout. I've just been doing bst proc buff and the dead buff line

>>2780144
frenzied burnout is different from regular burnout, it's an AA dps cooldown for the pet.

it gives like 300 atk or something stupid and some overhaste, which allows you to go past the hard haste cap. you can even buff players with it if you duel and charm them, you can break the charm right after and the buff still sticks.

>>2780273
Oh wow I didn't know about that. Been mostly farming t3 dungeons with any warrior/whatever pets I've been able to charm

Probably not relevant for higher level players, but it looks like Iksars have an endurance recovering bracer available from their newbie zone from the Iksar Warrior guildmaster.

>>2780721
Yeah, I've only played a little bit but I haven't found the scroll. Maybe I need to click more shelves.

How is the open world? Do you frequently see other players? Is it possible to rock up to a camp and join a group?
That's "my way" to play, and if the game doesn't support "my way" I shant be purchasing the game.

>>2780933
it might as well be a single player game. every change has been intentional to steer the game in that direction so dads with 5 wives and 12 children can find time to play

Has anyone tried out War/Nec/Healer? I've been considering trying it with Shaman, Cleric probably works better but I'd like all of the classes to be Iksar-accessible for the build.

>>2781484
shaman is way stronger and is one of the top meta builds for having huge dot dps and being totally unkillable

>>2781569
Nice, guess I'll enjoy my dots

I love spreading aids

hey so this is a retarded question but when I wear armor/clothes I'm still naked
how do I like actually wear clothes? do dark elves just like walk around buckass naked?

>>2781626
not all armors have a graphic that shows on your model when worn

>>2781641
Especially for Kerrans as of launch

>>2781641
>>2781653
okay, thanks
I'm playing a dark elf but I think I bought the wrong size of cloth armor but my armor still goes up so I don't care

>>2780051
>Necro/bst
wait, you can have both pets out at once?
