The new player group thread, new chars start here

[gotrocks]

Sam, while you're poking around the forums can you answer this for me?

Can you fear players on this server? How successful is it as a pvp tactic?

I dont remember if you could do this on live or not. It's going to influence my character class heavily

[SamwiseRed]

nope but you can fear their pets. you can also fear the mobs they are on but amelinda used to ban people for that calling it reverse training or some shit. so ya not sure thats legal or not. I would do it but i live on the edge.

play a druid, u can do everything and dont have to rely on anyone for anything. unlike when i leveled (mostly duo/trio until 39) the pop from 1-52 is dead. druid can duo with any class in the game, not restricted by travel or faction. roll a halfling for godsake

Fuck. I really wanted to do an iksar SK, but I see the infinite wisdom in this post.

Im making a god damn druid.

and its going to be a god time halfing /cry.

*unlike when i leveled, there is no lowbie pop now. some decent solo spots i kinda remember are ummm.

think i did EK spiders from 15-25 maybe to 20. charm griffs

at some point i did mammoths til 30 or 34 ( i dont remember) in Everfrost

34-39 i think i quadded gnolls in SK

39-51 ice giants ( I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TIL 43+) iceberg broke like crazy but i just like killing big mobs so i dealth with it. I also had a manastone while doing this so mana wasnt an issue.

oh i did 1-15 in Misty/Runnyeye. Saidin and I duo'd Runnyeye for a level or two. good times.

Kunark opens a ton more options. OT and other zones have charmable mobs but ill leave that up to u.

[gotrocks]

appreciate the help sam, and everyone else who posted helpful comments in here.

Honestly its a little daunting starting up on this server because literally everyone is already established at lvl 60 with multiple alts. Been hard to get advice/help, few people seem concerned with helping the lowbie population flourish.

That being said, I will likely roll two characters on here. A druid to solo, and a dark elf SK to tank for this group. Unfortunately, no one logged in tonight so I wasnt able to discuss group makeup with anyone.

To all the guys who were planning on getting started, post here when you log in. Etris was on earlier and we have a vague idea of where we are going with this. It would be a big help if you guys could post what role you'd like to play (dps, heals, or tank) as well as race (so we can coordinate and get everyone together). It'd be best if no one went iksar so that we can all level together one either of the main continents (instead of just kunark). Lookin forward to hearing your replies.

Tank here, dark elf (likely going SK).

at least the SK is solable without being mega twinked. if you arent a hardcore pvper i gotta ask, why you want to play here hehe

SK is absolutely not soloable , dumbest shit i ever heard , horrible dps and no viable lifetap till 50+ , either better have at least a rubi bp and great weapon or dont bother.

and penalty is NOT worth the time , i have a 53 sk and i hate my char. I can tank real good for groups but cant do a fucking thing otherwise.

but our group needs a tank, unfortunately. I guess the other option would be to roll a monk. Human monks are just awful, though =/

and sam, i never said I don't like pvp [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] its the whole reason i'm making a character here. I just want to make sure I have a group of people to level with before i jump in with a melee character (like an sk.. or a monk.. or even a rogue if we have a tank), otherwise I'm going to roll a druid (and probably will still roll a druid anyway)

I did pvp/pk in diablo 2, wow, and a couple other random rpgs that were f2p. Did really, really well in WoW, was one of the top pvp rogues on my server during vanilla. Got my ass targeted by swarms of alliance in BG's, and whenever I'd show up at a zone and start dropping alliance I'd have hordes of them searching for me after I vanished. They knew my name and watched for me =P

I can only imagine the countless hours the alliance on that server blew sitting around waiting to see if I'd show back up in a zone.... only to get tells saying I was in another [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

in any case, i never tried EQ pvp and really want to give it a shot. The +50% exp bonus makes it even easier to want to jump into a pvp game that (by all accounts) is incredibly broken and unbalanced (lol). Im still excited to try, but I'd really like to get it right (hence why im having such a hard time picking a class).

Where my group members at?! Only had one show so far!
