PoS, Let's take a second...

[Baler]

Can we take a second to talk about Plane of Sky?

Why are you hyped for POS?
What items are you after through POS quests?

:) HYPE THIS FRIDAY!!!!!!

[Bardp1999]

Free haste belts for everyone is the biggest draw, plus I think every class has to do Sky for Epic weapons. Shamans get a cool Feign Death ring also. Monks get a phat 41% haste belt as well

Pretty much all the class quests offer gear that is either BiS or near BiS

[OuterChimp]

Pineel, and the warrens as well?

[Jimjam]

Who are you calling ‘piece of shi..’ oh right, Plane of Sky!

Best ‘scheduled’ raid until Plane of Time.

I like how you don’t get the best loot as drops but from quests which encourage you to do all content in the zone.

Dropping players in Freeport is a good way for showcasing BiS toons in a newbie environment and give them something to aspire to.

Paineel and The Hole; the Warrens are added in Velious.

It's too bad, since the Warrens kind of complete Odus and have mostly garbo pre-Kunark-esque loot, but alas, that's the way the timeline goes on P99.

[Castle2.0]

FBSS prices gonna drop, drop, drop =)

Stonebrunt comes with the warrens right? Only way to get there is through the warrens?

[Nuggie]

I am hyped for PoS because it's going to tie up a bunch of toons to advance up the isles. Different people(characters?) will enjoying content that the PoS-inhabitants would otherwise be enjoying. Perhaps. Or at least I hope so.

Lol. "Can't wait for the lines to be shorter."

Consider Red.

[DMN]

First haste belts are pretty shitty though if I remember right. Less than FBSS.

BuT tHeY hAvE sTaTs!

[Tankwipe]

NUMBER GO UP.

[Nuggie]

Lol. "Can't wait for the lines to be shorter."

Tried red. It sucked. Or I sucked, I'm not sure.

[Zuranthium]

Red is easily the best (given the options), I really don't know how people enjoy sitting around like maggots on the other servers. You don't even have to PvP on Red, and if you do occasionally get attacked, so what, you're still getting to play the game way more than on the other servers, plus wasting less time grinding for exp.

[reznor_]

Competitive sky. Oh lord.

[Bardp1999]

Going to realize how fucked the server is when there are 300 players on isle 1.5 autofiring Noble

[Jimjam]

Competitive sky. Oh lord.

You crazy bastards.... you’re not gonna actually do it, are you? Freetis, sure! But as a whole?!

Sure I'm hyped. It's 100% brand new content for me. I never set foot in any of the Planes in classic because I was busy being the King of Kunark and didn't want to ghetto up my life.

[xdrcfrx]

Competitive sky. Oh lord.

Is this going to be the way sky is run? because lol if so.

consider blue?

[Nuggie]

Somethings have to be learned the hard way by some people. It won't last. Like competitive Pofear.

[Swish]

Lol. "Can't wait for the lines to be shorter."

Consider Red.

Does anyone know if Renew Summoning is going to be released in this patch? The wiki says either PoS or Paineel patches.

http://wiki.project1999.com/Renew_Summoning

[7thGate]

I'm wondering if Levitate is going to work on launch or not, as it should for the first month per classic. I suspect that's going to throw some crazy wrenches into the whole competitive sky thing if it does.

Mostly, I'm looking forward to hearing about how this goes down.

Play an empty server where mobs aren't camped, but you might get PK'd

or

Play an empty server where mobs aren't camped, and don't worry about getting PK'd

Seems the draw to Red is it's just empty...

Also, "competitive sky" is because the neckbeards MUST have their server firsts to pad their elf resume for the next neckbeard guild. When their neckbeard guild flames out because leaders of such guilds are often emotionally unstable and run them into the ground, they'll need those server first brownie points for their next app.

[OuterChimp]

I just don't see any appeal to play on a server, where you can be minding your own business, and along comes some jerk to PK you just for f's sake.

[xdrcfrx]

I just want to know how competitive sky is going to operate. Going to be pretty messy, especially if sky quests are going to be mq'able. Some guild just going to post up on 1 and 2 and lock down the key mobs, permanently? Farm crews camped at higher islands to log in every 8 hours for boss drops?

[Nuggie]

Well, iirc you can purchase the first few island keys, right? The aviak island is going to be rough with how touchy aggro is.

I see everyone getting stopped on the Pegasus island for a day or two, depending upon how many gets keys first.

I see it being tough for the alliances getting keys to the correct classes/players for optimized min/max without stuff rotting.

[xdrcfrx]

Yeah island 5 probably the first real challenge - will level 50 enchanters be able to reliably cc the trash mobs? For that matter, the usual tactic on island 2 is to just lock down the mob that spawns the boss - will a level 50 enchanter be able to do that?

the real question is how long will it be before someone clears the bees on island 6? queen bee aint no joke.

[Fammaden]

Looks like Nobles are competitive and ST is rotating the regular spawns with Federation now.

I think people plan to zerg rush bees with an army of pet classes. I'm with you about five, that shit wrecks 60 chanters on the regular on blue.

this pretty much ^

after first couple days once the top guild gets all their server firsts or what not sky will go into a rotation like everything else. If your guild doesnt care about servers firsts id probably stay out for a week gonna be a cluster

nah some poor sucker gonna get stuck on kite duty for a loooong time

[Widan]

You know all those losers on green who try to rules lawyer every single spawn? Yea they don't exist on pvp. That alone makes it much more bearable even if you get PK'ed from time to time.

[xdrcfrx]

I think people plan to zerg rush bees with an army of pet classes. I'm with you about five, that shit wrecks 60 chanters on the regular on blue.

will that even work? especially now that you can't pull the bees down to 5, keeping them under control is a challenge on 6, even more so once you kill the first spawn and you have the splits to deal with. If you kill the 3-split bee first, you will have to maintain the kite on the original 2 bees, plus 2 of the 3 split bees; have to make sure people aren't getting low hp aggro. Keeping the bees locked down with high level bards is easy enough, but with the level cap still at 50? queen bee's AoE gonna be tough to deal with, too. 100hp/tic gonna chew up a bunch of level 50's pretty quick, i would think.

[Nuggie]

Mass pets is how we did it on Blue waaay back. I wanna say 35 pets? Myu?

[xdrcfrx]

yeah, i guess if you could keep your mages and necros out of range of the AoE then you just have them summon new pets as they die. like killing phinny, but on a much larger scale heh.

[zanderklocke]

Are people going to agree to not kill Overseer of Air to spawn more nobles?

There is no real challenge on p99 everything is zerged down by 100 unemployeds

[Nuggie]

People management and politics is part of the challenge P99 provides. EQ on P99 is like an ogre... er an onion. It's smelly and has many layers. You don't have to choose to peel it until you tear up.

How is PoSky going, elf-friends?

Being able to cruise around and watch the action as it unfolds is one of the few perks of being a GM. I hope he brought lots of popcorn and butter.

We don't have to be unemployeds anymore. We can still be part of the 100 man zerg while working form home in our 95k/yr job. I love 2020!!!
