104 on a wednes night isnt that bad yawl

[magnetaress]

just sayin

[Encroaching Death]

1:04am?

10-4?

[magnetaress]

One hundred and four unique players. Yo.

I bet unless green rerolls into blue soon red will hit 300 or 350 pop again once ppl get redpilled.

The only thing that would get me on green is a reset. Tho I'd much prefer red 2.0 instead of green 2.0 with players merging to blue.

[surron]

introduced some hardcore bluebies to red the other week

the amount of misconceptions they had were incredible

honestly the best thing this server could use for a pop boost is removal of red99 forums besides trade and guild

Agreed

Also

Make auction server wide limit ooc to one msg per 5 mins. That way ppl can just filter channels better. The bsnter isn't bad it's the spam.

Server would be just about perfect then.

The forums are old. Full of bitter quitters who fight with the GMs and just want to promote their garage boxes. Some good content here. Especially about server and game design. And some classic old school drama. It's very hard to parse for newbies who don't realize a lot of the negivity is ppl who play hardcore and are obsessed so can't let go and chill.

[Gustoo]

Agree with all. Wish I saw the 3 digit pop I would have been inspired

Delete forum and ooc or ya 1 post per 5 mins be ok

[klant]

is the server still 95% of players all in 1 guild? that's why the server failed. all the pussies joined up in 1 guild for protection and pixels with no interest in pvps unless they have 10:1 odds. even after maxing out the gear they still cling together instead of breaking off to make pvp more fun (and save the server). while it's still the best game, I'll wait out for a fresh server.

[magnetaress]

server def needs more guilds butt given the choice between red and blue??? like uhm hello

have u tried playing on blue? there are bots in blackburrow man

[Toxigen]

its 10 people boxing 10 accounts

Even soloing with that staff just below t-staff, a haste belt and a fungi on a monk was a hard sell past 39, although i enjoyed fucking around until that point, i stopped at 40. If i didnt find a rogue partner in paw though, not sure i would even have made it there. I cant see any fresh blood putting himself through that, gear-less.

[magnetaress]

Doing it now on my war. Although I enjoy the challenge.

[seximo987]

Ya me and 14 frenchies just started back up on server Helps =)

good enough for me server pop will always go up and down

considering the games population is split between 4 servers basically plus a few other ones like hidden forest and the other big ones like takp... well

this is a pretty good field

there's a lot of interest in red

if we had red 2.0 would def see big numbers

[Encroaching Death]

How does grouping work on Red? Can you only buff people if you're grouped?

[Gustoo]

No you play game as normal and attacks work on players within 4 levels of you so watch out.

[Infectious]

Buff/heal anybody. Can only pvp 4 levels +/-. No exp loss, coin only. Barbaric if you ask me.

[Darkone]

How is the PVP on the server? Last time i tuned in it was broken because of some bow meta, is this still a thing?

[magnetaress]

Tons of yellow text last night.

I pvpd someone this morning. And landed nukes on them. Their oor buddy healed and they got away. Still a good fight tho.

[Gustoo]

Archery is still calculated wrong

[magnetaress]

Archery is still calculated wrong

Oof.

Well now is a good time to roll war or sk.

And there's still that nostalgia.

Dragons eating bow deaths probably helping the box too.

Don't want to be shot in the face? Hide in a building or dungeon.

[magnetaress]

My research says bow dmg is ungamebreaking. May not be right butt isn't horribly broken.

Either roll a max dex TRL

Or a max AGI elf.

This is fine )

My half elf has good natty AGI and dex ) p cool.

Hopefully it will get tweaked to be more classic one day with solid evidence backing it up. It's no worse than channeling code. Ac. Or parry/riposte accuracy curve.

[Tassador]

Dude server broke 100 once in years this is news. Going to go with a solid post by OP.

[Gustoo]

I agree Magnetaress.

Kinda funny of all the stuff that isn't classic the bow damage calc is like, too much to handle?

I guess it seems super fixable even just removing weighted axe from the game. Its more classic to remove weighted axe then it is to have high power bows for trol / ogr / barb

Even though right now I want to roll a barb warrior so I can be the only non evil guy using a sniper rifle bow since hes the only good guy who can carry a weighted axe.

So tempting.

------------------------------------

I agree about hitting over 100 for the first time in like forever. Feels good even though I'm not contributing, except to keep it in peoples mind when I bother the people in the blue and green forums about it.

[magnetaress]

Get mroons toy u will be close :p oh that is only for iksar/bar/trl/ogre oh and DWARF (paladins :P) oh wells

if it calcs only delay, wouldnt

https://i.imgur.com/oNSZzCJ.png

be a lot closer to something like gatorsmash maul???

I probably shouldnt have posted that now there will be competition

mebbe there is a reason mroons toy and runed oak is in the same zone ? :o :p ? ?

EQ devs where sneaksy! (and i am pretty sure a few loved pvp)

idk how hard it would be to add into the archery subroutine a cap on delay i think what happens is it pulls delay from the MH subroutine tho so that is a bit of a mess to fix without adding another loop

anyway numbers alone aren't enough to make me upset i'm not a numbers type person for me

oggok cleaver p gud too

i've deraile into silly dumb dumb territory

also rangers hsave nukes dispells, built in channeling proccy bows trueshot disc etc so i dunno what they really hve to complain hard about

if anything this hurts bards the most because an army of melees can bow them down without ever coming in range of their songs

G-d blessed my RNG so i hit hard even with the smollest weapons )))

[Sk00ba5t3v3]

12 of those were me boxing. It was pretty sweet.

[Gustoo]

As you can see the weighted axe is more than twice the delay of the alternative slow motion heavy weapons.

In the sense that it is a big time bard nerf, I like it.

And yeah who knows 22 years ago maybe the same exact mechanic was in play and it just wasn't recognized, though I don't think that was the case.

But thats what I mean it is easy to fix. If its hard to fix in the system, then just remove the weighted axe from red server. Or nerf it's delay down. It isn't the best fix but it gets the job done.

[magnetaress]

its as fixable/nerfable as root nets yet and weighted axe isn't a neccessary item by any means for the game to function eitehr so i agree with that one the most easiest

just make it a vendor trash item remove its equipable status

[Encroaching Death]

So Archery does more damage if the delay on your weapon is higher?

[Jimjam]

So Archery does more damage if the delay on your weapon is higher?

Archery benefits from the damage bonus of your primary hand.

Damage bonus for two handed weapons is dependant on the weapon's delay.

If you have a very slow 2 handed weaponin your primary, then damage bonus is higher (so your your minimum hit, max hit and everything in between) for archery will also be increased.

In theory this shouldn't be applicable until like 27ish when damage bonus starts to be added.

[magnetaress]

110 on again tonight

:p (cuz i logged in for a few minutes to finish up grinding my bandaid armoers)

[mirkwit]

This is good.

[Toxigen]

People getting ready for test of tactics.

Don't worry it'll go back to the same 5-6 drug addicted degenerates shortly.

Fine by me I'm looking forward to that as well.
