Can no longer be sold to (or recharged by) merchants. No longer unresistable. Does not work in Veeshan's Peak. Also made a more rare reward than in classic, due to imbalance with raid mobs. (Sept 10, 2011 patch)

This is garbage, and not explained anywhere either? A very blue solution to a very blue problem, make'm kill trash all night, that way other guilds can counter raid easier.

Didnt realize people in 1999 lived the same year for 10 years.

You really gotta work on the logic for your arguments.

"What is AM doing? Oh, I think they're [...] trying to get trained for EZ pixels.”

Just because we zone in to a raid zone knowing Riot is in zone does not mean we’re trying to get trained, despite their performances this week.

It does seem like that’s something all guilds need to plan around now I guess. Maybe we only send in half our raid force and use the second half to help with the CR once Riot drops the mobs on us for the umpteenth time.

[Kinaki]

The irony in this is that more petitions come from zlandi engages/trains down near spawn than from simple fte racing/pull.

You must have not been to the last 2 or 3 Zlandicars lol amirite? :)

If I comb through our DKP site and post a kill list for the week, will you annotate each one with the appropriate excuses as to why AM lost?

It appears as though AM performed decently this week. This may explain why Riot chose to train the server for Vox pixels.

[Yoink1986]

Trained the server? Trained the zone? Trained no one? I presume you aren’t even warranted to look at fraps Tyler.

Zlandicar wasn’t around in 1999.

Did people have the ability to pull Zlandicar to zone line in Velious? Yes. That’s all that matters.

On their 56k modem with frequent LD and ping issues, missing pathing nodes, warping mobs, getting stuck on geometry, and faster than sow mobs?

is this true? AM abandoned their alliance once good loot was available?

yeesh

Trakanon isn’t leashed in his lair yet. Watch out Sebilis.

[saftbudet]

yeesh

Secondary pick on tears from doze is actually good + Aegis just slow AM down on Doze. If talking from a rational point of view its the correct move.

[kekeshi]

Dropped them like a sack of shit in an Arby's parking lot.

AM ported out so fast, AEGIS members didn't know what was happening. Furthermore, AEGIS members are allowed last pick on loot, definitely no Ruby Tears for their efforts, but they can look forward to some twink level Koi loot when AM feels they need a 150 man raid force to off tank a couple glimmer drakes.

[kekeshi]

Trakanon isn’t leashed in his lair yet. Watch out Sebilis.

Watch out indeed. It has been ages since AM has managed to kill a contested Trakanon.

Now that your preferred method of annihilating a zone line with trains utilizing non-classic pull mechanics to an unprepared raid force (Zlandicar) has been banned by server staff, we can look forward to your attempts to pull Trakanon to Seb entrance. I'm sure Big Daddy Rogean will be pleased with your continued efforts to shit up his server. Only question is, do you let AEGIS have VP keys?

[Dugface]

yeesh

I don't think Doze is included in the agreement with Aegis, so they don't get any loot?

[Dugface]

Anyway, loot aside, it is fun crawling NToV and killing Gods, giants and dragons, so I'd guess most Aegis members are probably enjoying it.

[imsorryGMs]

Damn, AM using Aegis like a dirty whore. How does it feel Aegis? To be used and thrown away like that? Toxic start to an "alliance". Grats on being chopped liver.

Hahahaha that explains it all!:D

AM are famous for its socking in ToV, with Aegis they can use them to clear the trash. Man thats so smart by AM!


Its not like the loot conveyor at zone in like they were used too pre rooted dragons, but alot better!
Now they can play p99 BBQ style still!

When did DSL Internet start?
It was bout 1999 before early adopters started using it, and the following year it reached 4% penetration. I guess "popular" was probably 2002/3 when usage grew fast: Note: This is specifically "broadband" - if you mean "internet" then dial up (V34 28kbps) went mainstream around 1994/95.1

If i had that in Brazil, 128k or 256k broadband, i bet wasnt a problem in North America, and the stability wasnt perfect, but rare was the trauma i had from LD or LD from trains, in fact i remember GMs stressing the zone to check if it would crash in case whole zone was trained/pulled at the same time to zone in.

Also if we simulate a 56k connection, and do a zone pull of those mobs without LDing, will they lift that leash? Or Rooted Dragons? Or AoE limit?(that one isnt bad since zone disruption and RMT went bad, althought should be limited by zone) :rolleyes:

[Daldaen]

Did any guilds get suspended or broken up for exploiting Zlandicar’s pathing and pulling him out of his lair to the top side unclassically?

Because that’s something that sounds like it should warrant a 2-3 week suspension at least.

[enesis]

I remember we worked a few times with PS/Core vs the AM zerg... now (some) Riot folks are slinging shit the same way AM did during that period. Take a look at the bigger picture fellas and try to keep your noses clean.

What? Nobody exploited his pathing.

[Fammaden]

You vastly overestimate North American broadband and telecomm infrastructure. There were still many many many people on dial up in the early '00's and even on a 56k modem most weren't getting 56k speeds on their crappy antiquated phone lines.

If you look at the graph below the line you posted, it shows that dial-up internet surpassed broadband up until 2009. At that point, broadband users and dial-up were almost equal, but still favoring dial-up.

You can try and do a zone pull but probably much different even now. Server hardware has been upgraded, things are still better. My memory of ToV back in the day was around 100+ people in the zone and it was frame by frame.

I was on less than 56k dialup until I went to college in 2001 and had cable internet in the dorms for the first time. Thankfully eq requires very little in terms of data transfer rates so the speed of the connection (size of the pipe) for this game is less important than the stability of the connection and physical proximity to the server.

Going LD every time someone picked up the phone was fun.

It wasn’t until closer to 2010 that I ever experienced pings reliably under 200 even with “high speed” internet.

[Fammaden]

My memory of ToV back in the day was around 100+ people in the zone and it was frame by frame.

I remember casters/healers turning to face walls and/or pointing the camera directly at the ground in those situations to reduce the lag to a playable rate. I don't know how the hell melee and tanks functioned.

[Benanov]

I don't know how the hell melee and tanks functioned.

Turn off particles and look at the mobs' feet, and make sure there was proper air circulation around the modem.

At least getting blinded is acceptable in the Velious UI. Remember getting blinded with Classic UI? OMG it was like your entire computer locked up mid-frame.

[Nirgon]

Not classic

Should have forced mob rotations with one attempt first

There's a lot more history here than you're considering -- certainly more than "during that period".

This is like going to your class reunion and seeing that the jock asshole everyone hated through elementary, middle, and high school has gotten fat and is the assistant manager at the local Dairy Queen.

I don't think any of the commentary by Riot members has been disparaging toward AEGIS. If so, that would be over the line IMHO.

[Pyrrhica]

I seem to recall Aftermath relentlessly bagging on AW/PS for AoW team ups. We've now come full circle!

[Kayso2]

Monrezz has an excuse for that too. It all makes perfect sense.

[Kayso2]

Your memory is waning.

It's not bad memory. It's a folie a deux shared by everyone on the server except a select group of AM assholes who spend too much time on RnF.

[Pyrrhica]

Your memory is waning.

Nope, I was there. Something, something feeder guild...

[Brocode]

Oh well, my example was because as soon it became available by provider before it was announced i had it pre hired. But its true would be hard to simulate a 56k

[rezzie]

By merging, right?

[feniin]

Seems to be a lot of sour grapes over Arthion and Planarity identifying a problem (numbers/availability necessary to get dragons) and doing something to remedy said problem (merging guilds and creating a place for people who don't want to be in AM to raid).

[Videri]
