Any casual guilds that still do some high end stuff on Green recruiting?

[unsunghero]

Casual scrub here; I actually still don’t even know how to join a guild in game. I tend to just solo stuff but wouldn’t mind seeing some guild chatter to break up the monotony. Also, might be interested in grouping for some end game stuff

I just installed the game on sat and my first char is already almost lev 14. Really enjoying the game so far

Anyway, lemme know which of any guilds I should look into on Green and ty!

[OuterChimp]

Consider Castle.

when all bosses are killed within 10 seconds of spawning by the dominant guild, how can other guilds do high end stuff?

You must want help with your epic

Ouch, that’s disheartening. So only 1 guild gets to do bosses on P99? At least I’m far more interested in the beginning and middle game rather than the end. I guess once I get to a certain end-game level I’ll just re-roll

No need to worry about epic help, I specifically picked enchanter because their epic seemed a bit more not-completely-necessary than others. Looks like more of a mana and time saver than class function item. My reroll would probably be druid who also I don’t think absolutely needs an epic

I did do the necro 2.0 and 2.5 epic back in the day on live realms, but this was completely solo with a merc healer when I was very much over-leveled for the content. On live the necro epic was super necessary for years because it was one of the only ways to have good DPS via DoT crit chance. It was so long ago now that I barely remember any parts of the quests though

Edit: speaking of live servers, I actually wasted $15 subscribing to daybreak to check out Aradune TLP recently. Didn’t like the UI, new textures, definitely didn’t like the new char models although I know those could be turned off. AND their newbie zones were already completely dead, unlike P99

pretty the top guild on the server gets everything unless there's a quake where you

might have a chance to take down a target if its not contested

Haven't been playing recently, but a while back I thought there was like a rotating schedule for guilds to try to share raid targets. Are they not doing that anymore?

Rotating Schedule is for Plane of Fear/Hate/Sky, used to involve Phinny and FG’s but no longer in rotation on that I think. Big targets are FTE.

They also said that does high end content.

Unfortunately I have a full time job. And if I didn’t, I would probably have invested my enormous time into a diff game, because even with infinite time the idea of staring at an empty spot on the ground all day is not how I want to do gaming. More power to anyone willing to do that however, not judging

I’ll have to settle for not high end stuff then

Depends on what u consider "high end." Many guilds can get you planar armor and Sky items and in Velious the same will true of Thurg/SS armors.

When you start taking about contested raid mob loots it's a totally different game you're playing.

This sums it up. For competitive content on Green, there's like 4? guilds that ever even attempt it, 2 guilds that attempt it consistently, and 1 guild that wins the majority of that content (same guild that is the only guild in Veeshan's Peak right now).

For Planar content, lot more options. And planar armor's still damned good, so if you consider that "high end" content, it's plenty approachable.

My advice: Forget the high-end even exists. Do that, stop dreaming about it, and soon enough you'll realize how unnecessary it all is. The stuff you have access to at the point where most players plateau--let's call it mid-range--will suffice for any and all content. In Kunark this means a mixture of planar armor, Kunark class pieces, and such. In Velious this'll mean the various faction armor sets (Thurgadin or Skyshrine probably, not many guilds tend to go giant faction for Kael armor) and similar-tier pieces. You'll do ALL content in the game wearing that type of equipment. It is by definition adequate. Odds are you'll enjoy the game more if you aren't putting yourself on call for a video game guild or crawling out of bed at 4:30 because Doze spawned.

Dragons in classic weren't even itemized if I remember correctly. First live Naggy or Vox kill there was no loot on it and GMs had to intervene. Devs thought players wouldn't get there so fast. Kunark was likely a partial answer to this. Give them a bunch more retarded dragons to keep the no life neck beards busy and stem some of the crying by these vocal losers which would equate to bad PR for the game.

Raiding in EQ was always an afterthought and something only 1% of players did until Velious and really not even until PoP with multiple expansions released without raising level cap was the average casual able to start raiding regularly.

Don't bother. Planes trash loot is good enough. Eventually in Velious you'll be able to raid and beyond that if Green merges into Blue you'll get a lot of chances for casual raiding.

Casual players can reasonably expect planar (and maybe sky) gear and when Velious opens, reasonably expect Thurg Armor and likely SS eventually.

EVENTUALLY VP will become an option as the "top tier" guilds decide it's not worth the time/effort anymore once they're in TOV & Kael as well.

My game designer side would solve this by giving every account an "heroic deeds" counter. Every time you kill a named you lose X points, and once you hit zero you cant engage nameds until you recover. Make it a monthly thing.
