Mmm, on live EQ during POP, GOD, OOW, DON, Demiplane and the few expansions afterwards

Well that's totally irrelevant when discussing p99 now, isn't it? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Please forgive me OP, a sentimental segue over a non issue on p1999. Love your Videos Tecmos.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Endgame is whatever you choose to make it and revolves around social choices and time to play more than anything else. At least this is my assumption taken from live. Raid guilds usually love wizards. Few classes can do a lot solo in harder group content Wizards like most classes are not one of those, generally. Good players who are enjoyable to play with in group "endgame" probably wont care too much about your class in the long run, just your personality and willingness to help them as well.

People who think wizards are gimped or the worst class have a very narrow view of what it means to play the game. OP: wizards can camp plenty and are one of the best raid classes in each era, there's no shortage of endgame experience as a wizard.

Apologies: I really didn't mean to join in on class-hating. There's a million details to making a class "good", and then a million contexts in which "good" can mean different things.

My point was just that in our era certain objective and measurable things, like say sustained DPS output in a group, are worse for Rangers/Wizards than other DPS classes. But someone is an idiot if they hate on Wizards as raiders ... because they jumped on a bandwagon of hate that was based on their grouping capabilities [You must be logged in to view images.

And really even when it comes to (say) grouping, a lot of numbers-only comparisons miss out on other important details. It's hard to gauge, for instance, the value a Ranger provides as a backup tank, even though it's easy to measure their lack of DPS. So I was just trying to say that OP had a legitimate gripe if he felt that (again, in this era) other classes were being more useful in groups ... but I was not trying to say that Wizards suck!

There is no end game for a wizard at this stage. There's no end game forecaster spell research is so f***** you might get the 40 and then you'll have trouble getting your spells. There's nothing to kill and the gear that is available is rare and the stat suck. There's a reason they were constantly updating this game in this era it was released unfinished and in a very uneven state. I've been trying to play the last four days I'm so damn bored I'm probably just going to drop out till at least Sol ro Maybe kunark. Go back to Blue and yeah kittens is doing well so I can read their but that's all it's a ghost town communities destroyed and the economy is dead. It's sad but I lives in the southern us so spring will be here soon and I've got stuff I can do that outside so my boredom will soon be alleviated

Ignore this guy, OP. The only way the situation is this bleak on green or teal is if you avoid having any friends or a good guild, purposely avoid using your brain to find available camps, don't understand that the only gear a wiz needs in classic to do well is like +60 int which is easy to obtain even without expensive items like GEBs, and think that classic EQ is going to spoonfeed you "fresh" content on a schedule like a modern MMO's raid patches.

Yes do ignore me I was playing on this in live and it honestly sucked nuts on live. The only reason I'm here is because the game gets vastly better when kunark is released and I'd like a head start on that. All that crap about groups and Friends means nothing. It depends do you want to be like this s*** head or do you want to do your own thing. Classic EQ was designed to get your real world friends to play with you online but that's not how it happened so they radically redesign the game. You're right about one thing I don't want to spend hours sitting in a dumbass XP group in guk getting you what you need for your melee class. Kiss off with that nonsense. I always hated this era and I always will because of people like this guy

Lol. You're fucking all over the place. At least put together a coherent thought instead of just ranting and raving like a lunatic.

The voice of reason right here.
