All Sleeper Server Threads Moved Here, Love Sirken

[pharmakos]

i was really into it for the first week.... The Warrens is super accurate... now that i've moved on, though, i can't find a spot that is functioning like it should...

spent 15 hours in Highpass Hold killing gnolls and haven't seen Grenix Mucktail spawn once.... asked Kegz about it, no response as of yet.... but when i had a Tacky Silk drop off of "a gnoll champion" Kegz brought the zone down to remove that item within minutes.... (causing me to have to recast my pet and re-break the camp due to being LOM).... but then a week later i had a Sullied Silk drop off of the same mob, so apparently he didn't look too closely at the items DB when he fixed the Tacky Silk thing....

in all, Kegz seems very quick to fix the small, inconsequential things, but pretty slow to fix the big things.... which makes sense, i suppose.... i still have hope for the server, but am going to be taking it slow/easy there while things get fixed...

It was stated last night in global ooc that there's more chat about the Sleeper server in this thread than there is on that dogshit forum they've got. I agree.

that was me that said that =p

they are beyond retarded for making people have to register to view the forums. most people dont bother registering until they have spent time lurking from shadows, and this prevents that lurking.

A+ job

Pretty sure he spawns, probably just rare due to the fact that there's like 1/4th of the amount of gnolls than what there should be

I reported issues that were seriously game breaking for days on end and never once got any response or saw them changed. Got tired of exploiting them after like 15 mins and it was game over for me on that server. Bad strategy to release that server how it is and just expect to slowly work through the problems when its much easier and quicker just to jump over to a real server and play.

Yeah, I tried to /whiteknight the server, and defend it from the troll attacks. But it just seems worthless at this point. I talked to Kegz in game all the time, reporting directly to him major game changing issues (i.e. the body loot/ crash zones bug from VZTZ works here, there's honestly a thousand exploits working on that server if you've endured the EMU server onslaught the past few years as I have). Some guy was asking questions in GLOBAL on how to tweak his box program; a program Kegz specifically said couldnt be used. Obviously 0 3rd party detection. EVERY bannable aspect on a X99 server is on a "honor" system not to be used there, ambiguous wording for "plz dont hack pals".

Honestly though, the tipping point was when the 8 billionth time I told Kegz mob speed was fucked, or player speed was too slow. One of the 2 for sure being a problem. Documented an example using a different server's mob speed rates comparatively to Sleeper's, gave him the results. Shortly after (when someone supported my point in ooc) Kegz responded with " Mob speed is 100% accurate, this isn't WoW anymore, learn the difference..

I'm sorry, you launch this server with more bugs than Watergate, fucking xp wasnt even TURNED ON when the server went up, allow me and a handful of other people to guide how you fix the server for the entire population after your dev team spent 2 years doing ...?, then call us WoW kids, which is like the n word for EQEmu players..

tl;dr - I'm pretty much done there, and I spent most of my time online reporting bugs and discussing with GM's on how to remove exploits. GL dealing with <IB> during raiding [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's my opinion that that server is epic fail.

[Nips]

I'm guessing he just doesn't know how to fix a lot of stuff because I reported the mob speed problems from day 1 and probably 10 times total before I quit. You can be fighting a skel, get an add, and then with 50 percent hp strafe to the zoneline and have the mob and add both beating on you the entire time. Also a problem with mobs who have sow, if you snare them, it will say it lands but the mob still just hauls ass like the snare didn't land and the mob still had SoW.
If the server is similar to tz/vz then it is really screwed. There were multiple ways to dupe plat on that server and countless different tradeskill combinations you could do that you could sell the combines to a vendor and make 1000s of plat per hour. He really just needs to bring that shit down and actually do some work.

[Sirken]

yep. most of the vztz issues exist on this sleeper server. thats how i know exactly how little work was done before release.

I generally find you an insuffurable asshat (or, as you put it, a cunt), but then you go and post a post that I agree with like 95% of. Should I hate you or not? Please tell me, I can't decide...

I have officially quit the sleeper server. There's just nothing redeeming about that server :|

D'oh. For what it's worth, you guys got your ass handed to you in Najena. Najena takes skill, planning, and work, unless you're over-leveling in it. You have to go slow, have CC (mez, root, lull, everything), break the camp, keep it broken, etc. We pulled Najena and Drelzna's room for hours without real issues, even though shit went sideways. There were definitely wipes though back when some guildmates were learning the zone.

No, no jboots dropped after way too many hours last night.

Nothing on the sleeper is 'gamebreaking'. Mages are fine.

There's nothing wrong.
Nothing at all.


Imagine how low Mages will parse vs. raid mobs.

This is exactly right... at least it was for me and p99. Have been here about a year now and just recently signed up after "shad0w lurking"
