Pvp quakes plz


Do you guys and gals actually want quakes?

[ylarik24]

Honestly no because half the mobs on red dont die because we got people pacifying mobs through walls to train us.

[Twainz]

Fuck it, send it. Soft resets can be nice too. My buddy on green said they got 2 vulaks last night. Can you spawn a Vulak for us in the arena? ;)

[Salaryman]

no

[Mleh]

wipe the box lets goooo no more account wars.

[Elemtal06]

No we want actual pvp to be corrected by fixing the bug that allows bow damage to be impacted by the delay of your primary slot weapon. This server is trash for a bard right now

Yeah I think most people just want you to wipe red already. Has it been a decade without a new red server. Also fix bow damage bug.

The first GM interaction on this server in 5 years was banning a guild and suspending half its player base while simple bugs like bow dmg has been complained about for years.

Someone should get the ball rolling here, red has been left as a graveyard for far too long. Project 1999 has had the opportunity to revitalize the server for well over a decade. Make it happen, until then long live the Reign of Thule!

[Stasis01]

The way to fix Red -

Project 1999 Purple. Classic 6 months, Kunark 6 months, Fed into Red.

Purple repeats.

[Stasis01]

Or honestly, 6 months Velious on Purple and then fed into red. So entire guilds could hypothetically be built up and fed into red battle over red like the merging of zeks. One guild wins back to one guild box. Repeat.

[Stasis01]

I like the strictness on training it does ruin the game in Velious only, Kunark/Classic u can work around it.

Problem is Red is too low pop to have a 2nd guild as you need 7 clerics 2+ tanks enchs etc

[Elemtal06]

Wasn't training "Legal" on most of the classic PVP servers?

[Stasis01]

I might start up my own little thing where I'll be by myself, talking to myself, hyping myself up.

But like on TZ there was a level 35 crew of twinks that would PVP against the odds as a small click 300 style deep in enemy territory. There was also a twink lvl 24 crew of shorties tiny terrors or w/e.

I want to make a roleplaying PVP scene on Red of a certain level I will need to create a thread with polls and think deeply on it. I like 35. Classic only zones etc.

I'll probably never do it but it's on my list of to do's.

[Stasis01]

Umm not sure I never saw GM's on live. I don't think people PVP'd as much as they do on Red. On TZ it was very segregated, Pandemonium was the only ones to do Trak/VS etc then really the only ones that could do Velious raids I don't think anyone trained them dirty. No one knew anything back then. I think by SZ there were some bard griefers I remember hearing but nothing really substantial on TZ.

PVP happened all the time. At least on RZ / SZ. Also, top raiders knew all the tricks & exploits that top raiders know now... don't flatter yourselves. Bow questing wasn't a thing. Resists actually worked, line of sight for spells didn't exist. Casters are gimped on Red with faulty resist code and line of sight shit. Training, bind camping, intentional exp loss - all legal for quite some time. Pretty much anything other than blatant hacking / warping / 3rd party programs.

[Stasis01]

On TZ things were pretty segregated into your teams, most people struggled to keep up with max level. One guy in PDM kamzan got full cobalt etc. On Live things moved really fast expansion wise I think you're romanticizing.

I mean I just looked it up Kunark dropped, then 8 months later Velious dropped. Classic to kunark was 1 year. Then I think Luclin came a year after Velious and game was fucked by then with AA's etc.

So the glory days are really like 32 months long and a lot of that was spent grinding/learning.

PVP did happen but it wasn't anything like Red, like anything. Most people were struggling to max a char out and maybe get some raid gear. Velious the gap really took off and ruined PVP too PDM were unkillable no one outside of their guild had TOV loot.

That might not be totally true brommix might whoop my ass that's a perspective from the dark team, once PDM formed dark team was so fucked.

That 8 months of kunark felt such a long time back in the day - almost felt longer than the 8 years of kunark on p99 red/blue!

I'm hopeful, and I won't give up.

I've been waiting since Red Kunark for a new pvp server... I will not give up. Even 10 years down the line I will stil be here to check in every 3 or 5 months.

Godspeed.

[Salaryman]

Why do you need a new pvp server, the current one is almost empty. You could recruit and contest very easily. THese posts make me think you just want to rmt legacy items again.

I wouldn't mind getting another Ford ranger out the deal. Better than scraping wire at new constructions.

[Gustoo]

It's fun to play when rubicite BP is best in slot, and 13/30 is the best rogue weapon. It's a different game.

Same during kunark.

Same during velious but whole guilds got banned so server was basically dead day 1 of velious RIP

Legacy items should not be in place, or in place in a custom manner. Best way would be a casino like luclin had, since it would be a platinum sink to combat inflation.

Additionally, random old world locations become spawn point for EE

Stuff like that.

Cuz race to manastone is 1 game that is kinda fun but a major distraction from the rest of the game. Same applies for kunark legacy items. Legacy items are made up for p99 and totally custom. They were not in place for late game servers like sullon zek so they shouldn't really be in place on p99

Otherwise why not include egg shaped pumices too?

Oh cuz theyre dumb and people stockpiling them would be hella dumb. Same with stock piling lockers and manastones for eq 401k. Let's do one server without this shit so we can focus on community from day one rather than our character retirement accounts.

Pots binding included. Fuck it all. It ain't classic to plan for these temporary available items and binds.

100%

It makes the game so much smaller when there is such a strong focus to race to and dominate these areas, and that malady really psychically impacts the vibe of a whole server.

[Jimjam]

No dis to people what enjoy that lark - it is just we’ve been through a few iterations of it the last few years.

[Duik]

Gustoo. Maybe hit upon an almost perfect formula. I know this is red but that shit would work anywhere.
Numbnuts camping guise/manastone/wr bags knowing the spawn rates kinda takes the fun (for everyone else) away from the discovery part of the game.
Back then it didnt matter where an <awesome drop> dropped it just mattered that it did, eventually. Working it out the how/when came later.

Great idea. Gustoo i bow to your superior solution.
Makes a(n) (arguably noob) player wanna play again.

In answer to jimjam and no disrespect. This would largely negate that. Blue, green and red. Just sayen.

easy solution we need EQ on web 3.

if items are nfts with burn mechanics keeps the game fun and interesting.

once every1 farms everything and every1 gets their pixels people stop trying / caring and log off

Hush up, nerd

[TheDreamer]

How people like Outer can keep doing the PVE progression shit ROZ box after shit ROZ box is unbelievable. Stuck in a loop doing the same basic grind until he dies irl.

I don't think there are many people who like EQ PVP I think people like being the big dogs while doing PVE and shit on some nerds and act pro.

That's why everyone clumped in the main guild on Red99 for years.

The community needs to evolve into a guild vs guild PVP system and take the focus away from PVE. Everyone shows up once a week, twice a week for a big throwdown over whatever.

The place to do this? A Classic PvP Battle Royale. Instant 50. Max Skills. All Spells. Starting gear.

The grind is dead. I mean there a hand full of real sick people who will not stop it, and there's also people like Quarm where I bet if you saw a RL pic of all of them you'd do a 360 and walk out the door.

[TheDreamer]

The community no matter how dysfunctional and anti social needs to understand EQEMU is basically dead and as a community we could set up times for Guild Vs Guild PVP for no other reason than having fun.

I know Tune it won't satisfy your psycho urges of griefing people trying to PVE but we need to attract people if you want normal people to hunt.

[Stasis01]

Only way to save community is all of us coming together to host PVP nights or attract people as a group. Divide into teams, contest over a mob.

It'll never be organic like Live again with antelope running wildly in mass numbers. Games now are like ROT instanced/no voice chat. If you say or do anything you get reported and punished.

It's a new world of gaming, people aren't going to put up with getting griefed, except the few that have stuck around. Drug addicts, eq addicts, no lifers no friends etc it's like their little hole/community.

We have to expand it or it will die. I'd say it could even happen on Red99 but with bowquest and the ungodly grind to get into PVP range. Fresh player starts Red99 how many hours till they can PVP? 60 on Red is like what 150 hours lol. Plus gearing/quests. NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.

TLDR.

1) Natural EQpvp is dead people enjoying the grind that you can hunt.
2) Rebirth of EQEMU PVP will need to be community driven for fun.

[Stasis01]

EQEMU PvP is dying, it's basically dead. The people who play shitty roz box after shitty roz box like Outer are mentally ill. Compulsive whatever obsessive compulsive and addicted.

You don't see videos of epic fights posted. I bet it's just dead shitty box.

The community has to step up. Set a night. Load up my box A Classic PVP Battle Royale. Instant 50. Full Spellbook. Max Skills. Starting Gear. Working Resist code. You can progress to planar and stuff but it's mostly cosmetic, maybe some weapon upgrades. Not much time investment.

Nail the mechanics is all that matters personally and host PVP nights. 50 Dollar amazon card to the winner. (not sure if thats against rules just an idea) and try to pull people into EQEMU.

Or let it die Idgaf I've had fun over the years if this is the last hurrah of eqpvp it was a pleasure pals.

[Stasis01]

Red99 has always been the same way. PVE focused. A few fights Holo Nihi then stagnated for 10 years or w/e.

I came back recently it's one guild Pumice. There's griefers in Tempest but they didn't really have numbers or able to fight. Always just like hit and run plug. Hold zonelines behind ur raid. Send a few rogues down to HOT etc, rush you on a mob.

Honestly it was fun in it's own way but that's not guild vs guild 40 people all on the same level fighting over a mob, EQEMU really hasn't had that other than a few times on Red99.

It won't happen organically or in a million years of ROZ shit boxes. PVE Focused Red99 will play out exactly the same way. Blue 2.0

[Stasis01]

Just like Qeynos Hills PvP event. I could even set up the starting gear to be like BIS each class. Choose a zone. Guild 1 Guild 2. Or pick names.

Gotta reboot this shit like fight club two guys in a parking lot punching each other in the ear. Choose a zone, Fight over Naggy, Fight over Vox, fight over guk etc. You won't get the same rush from crushing your enemies off the box but if we could make it more fun and less griefing it might attract people. Which would overflow into other PVP servers/creations maybe? OKOK putting keyboard down for the day l8r pals.

SORRY last edit lol. Thrilla nailed Red99 perfectly. PVE encounters with added AI mechanics(Tempest).

For the official record I saw Cwall once in-game. He tried to do a Trak raid and I destroyed his raid. Literal nobody.

Thx for showing up fellers was a lot of fun I will do another one next Sunday same time in the mean time box will be up if anyone enjoyed it and wants to do some of the content/world PVP. Keep the dream alive pals.

[Duik]

full belly chuckled to that 1

Look out guys, its a belly chuckler.

[Stasis01]

Trying to build some momentum for larger number PVP battles. PvP servers generally have low populations, having them spread out throughout too much content can make the server feel empty, and never line up for PvP well. Some rush ahead and quit, some take their time and show up late etc. Some never make it (me). Some just play for the PVE(mentally ill).

Well this hopefully can solve some of those issues. Instant 50. Full Classic Spellbook. No Reagants for Sky/Hate/Pets/Symbols/Levitate. Starting gear which is the equivalent to BIS non planar/god loot. You also start with resist Jewlery and a Tranix Crown. When you load up you are roughly 120 MR, with the best dungeon weapon you can get.

Question : WHAT WILL WE DO???

Answer : Every Sunday I am hosting PvP Scenarios. Which will include Team vs Team, FFA, fights over Naggy/solb, fights over Vox. It really depends on the numbers we get.

Question : WHAT WILL WE DO THE REST OF THE WEEK???

Answer : There is still world progression albeit not much Planar gear, as well as Vox/Naggy/CT/Golems to contest over. This is a PVP box if we can get a few decent PVP fights in a week I think that's a win? I don't want you to live on my server and rot doing content.

Question : NAGGY LOOT SUCKS WHY WILL PEOPLE SHOW UP???

Answer : If EQPVP is dead let it die but not due to mismanagement but by peoples choice.

[Duik]

EQ PVP is dead like the parrot in the monty python sketch.

By being pvp lords and thinking its fun (for others) to be the fluffy bunny or the anelope running free you ended up fucking it for yourselves.

Enjoy your meals gentlemen.
