What race/class combo will you be on Agnarr and why?

[Lhancelot]

I am thinking of trying this new server called Agnarr. Just wondering what classes people want to play there who are going, and why.

I am thinking of necromancer myself, I recall vivid memories of fondness soloing POF giants on my DE necro.

It was cathartic and fun grinding giants for the hell of it (oh and for AAs), when most classes had to form whole groups to do them.

Then again, I think how I enjoy druids and all their helpful buffs, how fun it would be to port myself anywhere etc...

Then AGAIN, maybe a paladin would be nice seeing I bet they can tank anything with the gears that will be available and how they will also be better developed than they are on p99 due to timeline restrictions p99 has.

What about you? What choices are you guys considering?

[Lune]

If I do try it, I think I'd do wood elf ranger, because I've always wanted to experience what they were like after kunark/velious.

[heyokah]

I can say for sure that in PoP rangers are fucking baller, and are very poular on live servers because you can have one as a box and just /assist /autofire and pump out massive DPS. Good rangers can obviously do alot more, but im just sayin they are very popular on phin. For vanilla/kunark i personally would go enc/nec/shm in that order for full farming capabilities. ENC is still very powerful in PoP. Good necros are average in power comparitavely and also not as common. Sham is my favorite class so im biased here, but they are very strong throughout the lifetime of the server.

[Fifield]

All classes are great on TLP. even paladins

Anything works on a server where all you need to do is smash your face on the keyboard and press everything at once.

Sorry for everyone pumped about this but if you wanna play easy mode everquest... thats not everquest at all... /shrugs.

[Swish]

I think the real question is "which classes benefit the most from the available cash shop items?"

If you really wanted to play hard mode EQ explain why you guys don't kill mobs where they spawn and why you spend a boatload of plat on recharges instead of killing mobs without clickies? I mean if you want a true challenge abandon the clickies for a few raids and see how they go and how skillful you really are.

Ya those xp pots are really tailored towards specific classes...

What's your first purchase from the cash shop going to be?

[Swish]

So the cash shop just has XP pots then? Okay... :rolleyes:

I remember Phinny players getting their wallets out for more than XP pots...

[Swish]

I wish there was a hat that said "Fuck Swish" on it. I'd buy it.

If you get a custom made one, please wear it and post here. Photo proof of "I'm mad at someone on a forum" would be great.

I don't think you're known around here for your memory. It's already been beat to death what's sold on this "cash shop" you idiots love to try to use for your agenda.

Sorry you hate me pointing out one of the big flaws of DeyBreak's TLP servers. They're there to make money though, so good luck to them.

That's cute.

There is no winning in Real Life or Everquest. So stop telling people what to do with their free time. Go live your lifes and stop QQ'ing about what others do or do not.

Forumquest isn't really your game, bud. Stick to in game stuff.

[Mead]

I've never stated otherwise. That's all they care about is money. If that's your fight then you should probably reach out to them. Not the people trying to enjoy Everquest on their server.

I think there's a difference between "reaching out" and "pointing out". The players already going should just be aware that this golden goose server is more of a lame duck :o

If you're going to promote awareness then you should probably use facts in your education.

[Swish]

I think we have a couple of posters in denial here. There's more than XP pots in the cash shop.

lol

human ranger because idgaf
or human druid because idgaf

and i'm keeping that credit card on my coffee table for perpetual exp pots lol

[ralph v2.0]

what's up swish? you still playing here on p99?

[RedXIII]

That's cute.

Where did i say what people SHOULD and SHOULDNT do?

Learn to read you piece of shit. I just voiced my opinion. I dont give a shit what people do with their free time.

[Samoht]

EQ Live is definitely pay to win. You pay real money for Kronos, which is in-game currency that buys subscription time, and everybody trades almost exclusively in Kronos instead of PP.

[Pokesan]

e-easy mode everquest he stutters, while skipping all trash via exploits

:rolleyes:

[Swish]

what's up swish? you still playing here on p99?

Yes sir, still the choiciest place for classic EQ <3

[ralph v2.0]

true. be well my old friend.

Watch out posting the truth generates almost as much aggro as clicking a Midnight Mallet 5x to maintain aggro.

[NachtMystium]

Why is this thread on a P99 forum rather than an Agnarr forum?

[NachtMystium]

Cause it triggers nerds too hard to be in off-topic?

do you think people are talking about what race/class they're making on p99 over at agnarr?

[Lhancelot]

do you think people are talking about what race/class they're making on p99 over at agnarr?

What a silly question, why would we care what those guys talk about on Live forums?

This is where us P99ers share lively banter with one another about topics we care about.

Stop derailing the thread and get back on topic with the rest of us.

[NachtMystium]

I'm just wondering why don't you just frequent the Agnarr forums with Agnarr related threads? Why post it here?

i not gonna play there, but if i did, i'd be wood elf ranger. maybe human though, iunno.

lol P99 isnt classic EQ either you derp.

On live no one ran around with 50 clickies, min/maxing shit.

No one ran around with a Soulfire and Reaper and 10 cast calimony pots

No one used 20 rogue alts to kill dragons

No one foot raced in NoTV ( gunna assume this one I never did ntov on live )

No one pulled dragons to the entrance of ToV, I would assume.

No one bound in ToV and did tricky pull setups

c'mon dog...if you think P99 is classic EQ you're not thinking clearly.

( p.s and not everyone had a fungi and dragon haste to level with like on P99)

[Beastagoog]

50 x 30 year old losers didn't sit in a guild called <TMO> for years buffing alts at all the dragon spawns so they could just log over when it popped and killed it.

No one had a bank full of Selo's Drums because they killed dragons week in and week out.

The concept of BiS is a modern era thing

No one used rechargeable clickies on warriors to get snap agro on dragons

No one used puppetstrings to give everyone OT Hammers.


anyhow you get the point the list could go on forever.

[Bones]

The power of hindsight and available resources has had a profound effect on p99 so really all of those things were foreseeable. Especially things like manastones/elder beads being farmed to oblivion when they were in-game with everybody being aware of their fate.

The only thing I never saw coming was the massive population, being an old VZTZ/Clumsy's World player and never seeing an emu server ever really break 150-200 people.

[Tecmos Deception]

Nope they're mostly talking about P99 having "as volatile a raid scene as you'll ever find" on the Agnarr community forum. Over on the official EQ forums they're mostly talking about P99 being ruined by lawyerquesting and neckbeards cockblocking everything.

Raiding raiding raiding. It's like the only "criticism" people ever have for p99. And even then, it's not really even a complaint about p99 as much as the people who participate in a particular, limited part of p99. Such a weak whine about the best place to play the closest thing to classic EQ that is possible in 2017.


P99 is fucking classic as all fuck.

Hell, even when it comes to people who say "well I can't play like I used to now that I have a job and kids, so a lack of instancing and cooperation in the raid scene means all of P99 is just horrrrible!!!" ... bullshit. When you were 14 and playing on live, you were in school as much as you work now. You didn't have kids or a mortgage, but you had sports, family dinners, friends outside of EQ, dialup that you couldn't use when your Mom wanted to make a phone call, the neighbor's lawn to mow so you could afford your $9.89/month and the newest xpac at $40 or whatever, etc.

The whole "being a grown up means I need live amenities in order to enjoy EQ like I did back in the day" is an attempt to avoid admitting that you really just want more convenience (which is, of course, a decidedly un-classic thing), since it's not like your RL back in the day didn't get in the way of your raiding as much as your RL today does.


All that said, I'll try this stupid Agnarr server. Phinigel was pretty impressive when I looked at its population compared to p99 last night, even taking into account how many people were just AFK in the bazaar. It's not like you can't play most things on Agnarr AND on p99 at the same time if you want to without breaking a sweat. God knows I'm tempted to do a melody bard and a wizard on Agnarr while I keep playing Noman on P99.

[Daldaen]

The biggest issue with P99 is the raid scene being a cluster. But as far as classic goes, the Titanium client kills any chance of full immersion.

I hope P99 migrates over to the client used by TAKP sooner rather than later.

Limit to 1 hotkey window rather than 4.
No cycle target hotkey
No Scroll wheel to 3rd person
No mana value in inventory window
No DoT ticks
No multiple item links opened simultaneously (as close as you can get to fully removing them)

These would all be incredible changes to enhance the classic experience on P99. I hope switching clients is feasible. It's probably the most important change they could make to emulate the classic experience even closer.

really makes you think

Most people, the majority of the people who complain about p99 and it's raid scene don't say because the raid scene is bad in their opinion all of p99 is "just horrible."

You are wrong here.

The vast majority that hate the raid scene on p99 recognize p99 is great in other ways. Stop using hyperbole and generalizing everyone to prove your point.

I agree with this, people seem to fall into this big debate over how good or how bad Agnarr will be, instead of just accepting the fact not everyone is the same, and people do enjoy different things, even in games.

I mean just think about it, how ridiculous a person sounds when they are foaming at the mouth and salty that others like or may like another version of Everquest or one server over another. It's fucking stupid.

It reminds me of how religious people argue that their religion is the right one and all others are wrong, yet they can provide nothing that actually proves their religion is right and others is wrong.

Fair enough. I'll blame my poor perception on spending too much time on the forums :)

Well, you should know not to guage the game by the forums, honestly I think most of us on the forums use it for entertainment purposes as well as a conduit to pass correct information about the game. :)

It's when the forums get used as entertainment the troll gets mixed in, and then some people's feelings get hurt and things turn "interesting."

I know I personally use hyperbole often times when I realize it's not the 100% truth, just to drive a point home, and to ruffle the feathers of those who oppose my point.

Lots of people do this, and that's why you can't take everything here 100% seriously.
