Rooted Dragons and FTE foot races. Failed experiments

Take a look at what Blizzard does best: taking a game with a solid concept, polishing it up, and making it more appealing for a wider player base. They took one look at Everquest dungeons and raids and went, NOPE! Instances, baby! It worked so well that later EQ expansions added them.

On top of that, we've had years of "solutions" where the server developers fix one problem by adding another. "We have a serious rat problem on the island, let's release a shit ton of mongooses to kill them all! Okay, great, what are we going to do to keep the mongoose population in check?" 30 years later...

Hyjal, you can point fingers at certain groups of players and specific problems in specific zones, but what it comes down to is the game's infrastructure. P99 is unique, in both it's appeal and problems, that is simply comes down to how well people work together and communicate. Unfortunately, we all know how well that goes.

Instancing wasnt the magic potion that saved everquest. It makes the world disjointed and kills competition.

Its the constant flow of new expansions that really makes EQ raiding make sense. The no lifers could go poopsock the latest and greatest pixels and the cool normal people could raid more at their own pace.

Eq just was not designed for time locked Velious and no amount of band aid server rules will make end game any better here.

Changing the game has never worked on p99. We are only months in and there are obvious problems already. What makes this change different? This is a glorified beta test and its not working for the benefit of the community as a whole.

Just as Alexander Fleming stumbled upon the usefulness of moldy cheese, Rogean and Nilbog have discovered a treatment for Doljonijiarnimorinar flare-ups.

You need to eat more L-lysine to help with that.

The majority of players don't know what a Vulak is or where the halls of testing are. Rooted dragons don't mean shit to people who don't raid. The meta change means small and medium sized guilds can't reliably take down high tier content in ToV, and that sucks, but it's how the meta is right now.

Its almost like in the expansions after Velious and Luclin they realized the way it was on classic fucking sucked for anyone who had a job. Who couldn't always wake up at absolutely retarded hours of the night to kill mobs. When green comes out I really do hope instances are what the custom content is. Leave group zones alone, but letting everyone see all the content once a week (hell make it every 2 weeks so people can space out their raids and balance a personal life so theyre not just staring at their screen like a junkie scratching their skin waiting for their next fix) would be better for literally everyone.

Yeah I don't get everything, I will never be L33t. Excuse me while I cry into my bowl of cheerios. Please add instances so I can leave P99 behind for good and enjoy more of summer. Call J.G. Wentworth, its your loot and you want it now!

these fucking crybabies, talking about real life, work and responsibilities and coming at us with this. How the hell has your boss not broke his foot off ankle deep in your bottoms yet?

I didn't get the loot back in era nor do I here, despite the meta being changed in my favor. What I do get is to play EQ as the designers intended. It is horrible to see pixels lust break a supposed adult this hard, how do you handle hardships in life and does the person whos shoulder you cry on ever tell you to fucking stop?

Good for all of us? count me out. I don't want to play your WoWesque , cater to me kindly and stroke my cock while I grin BS. I want to get kicked around and shit on. Life isn't a disney land fairly tale.

Yeah ill pass, I like PC games. P99 is all I play anyway, when I do play games. Isn't the min/max in those games to roll around, im sure I could manage but I honestly have no interest in the title. +1 for it not having MTX and roadmap design though.

Also got rid of steam awhile back, I avoid any and all digital stores. I have my own personal beefs with that. There are no hard copies, everything is made to baby powder our bottoms for maximum anal ease.

New queefs thinking STEAM is PC Gaming. I would be on Linux if they were doing something original designed for Linux only, instead they are trying to be Windows punk baby brother. Nothing of interest here. The barrier to entry would keep the 'I can't be bothered's' away. Trying to plug in their PS4 controller to play an MMORPG.
