My quarterly check-in

[xblade724]

How's the server? Exp boost yet? Resists fixed so bards don't get rooted exp death with 99% chance with massive MR? Expansion released yet? Any other goodies?

[SamwiseRed]

read patch notes for details but yes xp bonus in place, planes open, Nihilum losing control of their Zerg.

He didn't ask a single question about Nihilum, you jackass.

Exp was boosted 2% for every level you are from 51. So 100% at level 1, 50% at level 26.

Resists are still shit. Expect root to land 50% of the time with 100 MR. 150 FR and you might resist 20% of a bolt.

Fear is open, but not Sol Ro.

They said they lowered PvP resist rates from 80% to 67%, but it isn't working yet.

Manastones don't work in planes.

60%...with 150FR you will resist on average 60% of a Lava Bolt...

[Jabber]

60%...with 150FR you will resist on average 60% of a Lava Bolt...

Well that sounds fucked. Don't play a melee and you will be good

Lord Null, can we get whirl and root rates worked on?

You can say "No" and we will stfu about it, but its not how it worked on classic. We've ABUSED this spell killing people, it sucks.

I think it's the only glaring pvp problem left.

Disease and poison rates aside... whatever... we won't nag you.

XP rate is up, you should be able to swarm your way to 50 without too much grief. Most players are now focused in the Innothule / Feerott area.

"Play EverQuest!" (click!)

[Null]

Whirl resist mods should be absolutely insane, short of just removing that spell from PvP I don't know what else I can do.

I was definitely whirled in lower guk live side with 107 magic resist.

Make that fucker useless past 35 magic resist in PvP.

Inb4 "it's all we have" trolls/fools.

It's a big problem man. But that said, one of the only real "big fish" left. Really! =)

[Null]

I'll kill it with fire then.

[SamwiseRed]

I'll kill it with fire then.

So I won't be hurling anymore? Zomg I'm comin get YOU enchanter!

[Nirgon]

Makes me feel good we're getting this baby all purdied up and Classic!

Big Null is back bros!

Rogean says it's done soooo, yea progress comrades.

wonder if box pop gunna rebound after news of KB trader entering the box + xp bonus

im still bearish on box pop due to the low pop causing snowball effect of hard to get xp ... less groups ... less people etc and reports that yellow text + global ooc will not be implemented. i have told my clients to sell for now

[STRAY]

YT from what I've seen from GM/Dev responses is dead in the water. Though, I still have high hopes for global /ooc... I'm sure it'll be tested soon!

[Nirgon]

Gloinz it's getting closer to an absolutely incredible box as we go forward.

They aren't going to take it down, it's saving your characters.

Ignore the doomsayers, they're just player hating from the sidelines.

Posts like the ones Null just made are game changers.

Global ooc does deserve a trial period, even if it's just to prove to those asking why it won't work. I'm sure the code is somewhere or just a flag they can change in the DB, but maybe I'm wrong.



So I won't be hurling anymore? Zomg I'm comin get YOU enchanter!

If you aren't resist geared to the teeth (and even still) a good enchanter will slap the taste out of your mouth. Sorry, no spoilers.

Go Red!

Get up and dance to it with your bad self, Null.

[STRAY]

Your graph is wrong gloinz, you don't account for the super casuals like me who are still cruisin' low levels.

[gloinz]

childwoman man plz its an average pop graph based on reported statistical values for average pop on a daily basis with pin point accuracy
so you are factored in there in the average pop

[Harrison]

You forgot to factor in the drop in population when people saw that blatantly pissing in the devs faces by exploiting publicly and in large numbers only gets you a suspension.

People who desire legitimate competition free of cheating don't tolerate that shit.

[Nirgon]

His graph isn't too bad.

That lag was alot of it, some of it was as Uthgaard indicated - the "just try it out crowd".

Items are coming into the economy and there's probably twinks to group with here and there.

The xp curve is genius too.

I don't think we need 600 people here either.

[Amelinda]

And how about my boy Sirken de'Lantis coming back last night??

[Nirgon]

I have lots of great things to say about that.

Mostly you not having to 2 box GMing so much or miss something and take a ton of shit over it.

May his frapses bring foolios to their knees. Praise Sirken, he lurks deep.

Is he rocking the gold and green with the emperor ssra sword graphic?

One other thing, make a GM/Guide guild (http://ralloszek.stephans.org/rz/guildlist.php?guild_name=Keepers+of+the+Faith). It's part of the EQ magic.

Hopefully he can just pay visits to newbies sometimes, not only for reasons of making his presence felt, but people just like talking to non-hostiles sometimes! God forbid you guys get to have a little fun with your time logged in.

over all the xping is great, was in a group a few nights ago in hhk xping, though i was 22 at the time and they were in their late 20's, still got 3 solid yells done in about 1 1/2 hours, solo wise last night dinging 23, i got 4 yells in 2 1/2ish or so hours

Looks like it's time to give it another shot

Please. Anything that impairs movement (stuns/roots/snares/etc) needs to be adjusted to a much lower mr requirement for resist. These things were easy breezy resists even close to 100 mr on live.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Mr are fine just carry pumices ull be fine 30 p 5 charges you must be a blueb

15pp. How blue are you for not knowing that?

[Nirgon]

Try that with the new channeling, a couple pets + a troll/ogre melee or two on you and 3 star fires already on the way.

I'd be asking for fixes to this, but I'm not trying to bombard them with requests.

looks like box has plummeted to about 60 max average pop
