Killing something with ZERO outside buffs or consumables is the highest tier of solo achievement, and the entire point of the conversation. Every class has a certain ceiling they can achieve; discovering that ceiling is one of the reasons to do solo challenges. Quote:
And if you have the gear then why didn't you use it? There's no reason to not have Spikecoat up if you have that item. The exact BIS gear for a Monk would also include Shroud of Longevity and Fungi staff. You obviously do not have those items and have not calculated the actual top potential of what a BIS Monk could do completely solo. There were Monks in 2015 on p99 who were better geared than you are now. Quote:

It's a low tier gaming input. Requires no tactical involvement, no understanding of complex systems, and no truly challenging amount of coordination or reflexes. Something you don't understand and likely never will, because you are not a competitive rts gamer. Quote:
You factually used the abilities of 4 characters, and an additional player, in order to complete the encounter. Nothing you say will ever change that. You could easily use 3 characters instead, I already kindly granted you that for the solo challenge recognition, but either way you are still using ANOTHER PLAYER to do the kill. Buffs are the same thing, in effect, as getting healed during a fight or someone contributing extra DPS. Until you admit this, you're delusional.

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=651 My math post destroys your argument below completely. Quote:
Reposting OP's epic video where he kills Fungi King solo with his monk, no consumables: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wONdIYAofyQ https://wiki.project1999.com/Solo_Artist_Challenge It deserves the highest ranking of [S] when following the solo artist challenge wiki page. Please note the wiki page was changed after OP did his video, and the changes are still in dispute. [S+] did not exist as a rank previously.

Solo means no outside buffs and no consumables. That's the ENTIRE discussion that's been taking placing in this thread from the start, and was explicitly stated yet again in the post you quoted. Jesus christ.

S+ is the only true solo rank, but the solo challenge page is not limited to the exact definition of the word "solo". It's something that provides for many different tiers of challenges. Quote:
Quote:
Aegolism is no different than someone directly casting a 1,000-ish point heal on you during a fight. Haste/STR/ATK/DS buffs are no different than someone casting a damage spell that does the amount of damage those buffs provided. The fight has the exact same result in both cases.

And I'm quite confident anyone with an IQ higher than 35 can comprehend that. Why don't you go make that poll if you think otherwise? What are you waiting for? I'll even type it up for you: If you have an Aegolism, Focus, and VoG from another group, but were alone in fighting the myconid spore king by yourself, with only you on the encounter logs for the fight, being the only person involved in the pull, the only one taking damage, dealing damage, and ultimately killing the king, do those non-self buffs negate it from being considered a solo kill? What say ye: - Yes, having buffs from other classes means you didn't solo it, even if they were not involved in the fight. - No, it would still be considered a solo kill even with buffs if it was just you alone fighting it. Let's see what the vast majority of the active EQ population thinks. I'm pretty sure we all know it's going to be a landslide, and not the way you want it to be.

The wiki was outdated and need to be updated. For over a decade people have said these exact same things. It's documented on the forums. There was simply no wiki page in existence for many years and most people didn't know or didn't care about the wiki page after it did get created. That initial page was simply a copy of one very old post. It was never reflective of the whole community. Nothing you say will change the fact of how people solo and attempt challenges. Using no outside buffs and no consumables is a common thing, and has been widely appreciated in video comments of challenges. Quote:
You're actually just showing how Aegolism can be even MORE of a cheat than getting a heal during the fight, since it can allow you to pull better and allows you to heal up past your normal max health, allowing for more tries at being able to complete the encounter. Truly astounding how incapable you are of understanding basic mechanics and how deliriously you've spun yourself into the most Trumpian depths possible, wildly trying to refute and failing to understand simple facts that elementary school kids are capable of grasping.

Who made you the ultimate decider for what the definition of solo should be? Especially when the ENTIRE SERVER, hell all of p99 period, green, blue, and red, would all disagree with you. 10-1, if not more.
