Well yeah cause the entire point of the project is to keep it within velious, did you just find that out?

Let me guess: You played the game differently 20 years ago when it was a different game with a different staff and different players

did u know that dragons are unrooted in velious era and this change is as unclassic as it gets?

[Trexller]

I don't wanna run to where the dragons are, I want the dragons to come to me

all raids should occur at the zone line to Freeport in EC

no that's too far to run

all raids at WC druid ring, thx

The sleeper can help you out with that :o

Man, I wish that if you woke the sleeper.

And had a raid force ready in one of the zones he kills NPCs in that you can catch and fight him there. That'd have been cool.

They tried that on Rallos Zek server.

That was awesome!

But I was thinking more like, you know how whenever the sleeper awakens (because of the golems that die or whatgever). It "flys around norrath" and people get slayed by it?

(idk is that even true?) Well if it is..

it would be cool that if when it appeared in one of the world zones, you could pull it to a raid, and fight it there!

Like one guild goes and wakes the sleeper.

Then the other guild waits in freeport for it, and then pulls it to the newbie yard and all the guilds move from their positions waiting for the sleeper to the fight.

[briefs]

Just back from a 6+ year break and was confused as fuck that all the ToV dragons were rooted.

Instead of pulling to ZL we just COTH to the dragons now. Same difference just more annoying.

Your Math needs work. Or the Meth is working as intended.

Should have clarified, afk from the raiding scene. Dabbled here and there with IRL friends on some alts.

Although I should have accounted for the autismo level of fact checking.

[Duik]

Have you dealt with the recent pants fire yet?

Also. Your pants are on fire.

Also. How's the meth?

Love the rooted dragons. Forces you to actually crawl at least some of the way in TOV etc. Way more fun than pulling to the entrance.

Autists indeed!

[unroot]

raiding in unrooted meta: "holy shit vulak pop gogogo"

raiding in rooted meta: "fuck, vulak pop, time to organize coths and get the spreadsheet ready"

anyone arguing that rooted dragons is more fun just simply wasn't part of pulling unrooted dragons, skill issue.

enjoy waiting for rebecca and doug to accept group invites to coth group

Video game should only be fun for five out of 70 members of the club.

I’m tempted to agree on disabling coth in some areas tho ;)

Youre god damn right.

[WarpathEQ]

Remember the dungeon crawl event? No Coths, no training out mobs to clear the path. Start at the entrance and fight every single mob on the way to your target without exception.

Was funny to me how every guild avoided ToV like the plague during that event (I think they all came to agreement to end the event before half the inner circle was dead iirc).

Doesn't necessarily need to be a root the mobs situation but would love to see a meta where every mob is killed in the room they spawn. Let's be honest these servers have been stuck in velious so long we don't need anything that makes killing mobs any more efficient than it already is.

I would totally support this idea.

"skill issue" says the guy who sits there in the entrance while the pull team does all the work and then hits auto attack when the mob arrives lol

ToV dragons were rooted on live 20 years ago...

I'm curious about the classic root meta, that was after my time of classic live (sounds like it happened in the luclin or POP era?). I saw it was referenced in the post back in 2019 when P99 rooted the dragons that it wouldn't necessarily be the same dragons.

Would be interesting to know how the current P99 rooted dragons compare and contrast to what they did on live post era.

is this how you describe the entire eq dungeon leveling experience? only the puller has fun?

please explain to me how dungeon camps work differently than exactly what unrooted dragons used to be which is a puller bringing a mob to a camp

[red_demonman]

Both metas suck because they result in shit getting trained everywhere to beat other guilds to the punch. If we could get a non-training-shit-everywhere meta that would be cool.

Where were we discussing fun? I was commenting on your use of "skill" as somebody who is most likely a warm body who sits at the entrance and contributes barely anything to the kill.

As far as dungeons, I'm not sure that's analogous at all. In dungeons, for the most part you're killing trash mobs for EXP with the occasional ability to pull something that drops something decent. In raids, especially in Velious, you're going after the top loot in the game. As a result, those zones are designed accordingly and you shouldn't just be able to skip everything to pull the boss.

If you wanted to say in order to pull the dragon you should have to pull every single mob on the path to the dragon to the entrance and kill it before you can pull the dragon, maybe then your argument would be relevant.
