Classic EQ is bad

[FungusTrooper]

what makes a game suck? i'd say it's a lack of enjoyment per investment, and i hope most people still playing eq feel their investment is worth the amount of enjoyment they get.

i mean, im sure some don't meet that quota, but i hope most do.

Turn off attack on rogue.
Get words/runes.
Druids and shamans are amazing in groups, can aggro kite for rogues.
Hybrid penalty vs ZEM and ZEM wins every time

Last time I did classic EQ (2011 red server, obvs) I played as a cleric and we basically had a static group, which made it easier. Either our paladin or ranger would tank and they held agro super well ofc. There's less reason to play a hybrid on a pve server, now that I think about it. Back on red there were hybrids everywhere, which made for a much smoother grouping experience for everyone I bet.

hmmm [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This seems more like a commentary on how modern powergamer shitlords all rolling pet classes sucks the fun out of the game. People didn't do this in Classic and it wasn't designed for it.

Mages and necros are under 20% of the server. OP is just exaggerating in an effort to make his claims seem stronger than they really are.

It isn't classic, but god damn I'd love if ZEMs were altered. There are so many dungeons I never experienced in the true classic era, and I likely still won't now because the risk/reward is so borked up in classic EQ nobody wants to do them.

I'd love so much for the ZEMs to be randomized every week(s) between dungeons. Don't even inform the playerbase which is which, make it be figured out just like it was way back when.

It's more than just ZEM. Unrest has a big chunk of sought after loots. LGUK and Unrest will stay full regardless because people want the items there and they are also easier. Name one item in Befallen? I know a a couple from Runnyeye, but no one ever ran in that zone except to get to the gorge.

Been xping a lot in befallen, which i never did the first time around. The exp is the best I've seen. Got 8 xp bubbles in 90 mins at 11/12 yesterday in a 2nd floor group. Damask armor too.

This so much! The primary, #1 driving factor for me wanting to return is to explore all the places I DIDNT way back in the day. I know I still can, but when there is little to no population in these lower ZEM dungeons its hard to actually make it happen. I wish all the dungeons got equal ZEM.

Agreed. It makes no sense for a place like guk and befallen to get a 200% xp bonus while other dungeons just as challenging or more so, are given none.
