TAKP Tentative PoP Release Date

[Trexller]

nobody forces you to play 3 toons, or 2 toons, and you don't fall behind just playing 1 toon, you can always get into another 3 box group, or start your own PUGs, or join a guild

if you wanna play 1 toon and be bored all the time, feel free to to so! I always see like, "single 55 <Class> LFG" in the server channel, plus ive known players who are happy just playing 2 classes.

Plenty of 3 boxers invite single players to their group, there is a 4th person xp group bonus.

I don't usually invite a 4th, but I imagine single players can be of value, as they have their sole focus on one screen.

i'll add that gear is dirt cheap, and only gets cheaper, bazaar economics FTW.

I paid 17k for a fungi, 6.5k for a cloak of flames, 650pp for a wavecrasher, etc etc

Uh if you mean inferior velious gear then yeah, because there's luclin shit out. The bIs stuff still costs 200k+

So far TAKP is a pretty good server but stop pretending like it's a paradise. There's essentially no grouping or social content as 98% of players are boxing. It also sucks to find high end rare drops and spells because with only about 100 players the economy is like a trickle.

All of that cheap velious gear ends up being all you need to break into luclin content. Many things in luclin can't be done with a trio, so you pair with another trio or you invite people to your trio. Gearing up is easy AF on TAKP. P99 economy is total garbage. The bazaar prevents 1% of players from dominating the pricing market, in a bazaar setting you have to compete with the few other people trying to sell the same item.

you don't need BiS gear at all, in any content, in any xpac, min/maxing becomes less of an issue in every xpac.

Maybe TAKP isn't a paradise, but by comparison to anything that P99 can offer, it is.

I still play blue sometimes, because my toons have been well geared for years now. Its nice for when Im stoned out of my mind and just wanna screw around with 1 toon and only a few duties to cover.

You hoodlums will have to wait until it goes open source to make your single-boxing server, this is about preserving EQmac and its community

Touch/e!

Honestly the playstyle of certain classes like mage is so simplistic that boxing can actually make the game more dynamic

2box’s are not bad or hard, especially when you do a good pairing like mage+something or cleric+something. Two classes that both require a lot of micromanagement would be a pain. But pick the right class combo and use the hell out of /autofollow and you get used to the constant alt-tabbing in combat

3box is whole different thing. Your third better be a bard auto-playing a song or you gonna be tabbing like a maniac. I can’t even imagine bigger groups than that without some sort of macro or outside-the-game UI assistance

I enjoyed 2 boxing my Shaman with my friend's Ranger during PoP era, was quite a bit of button pressing. More recently I did a Warrior and a Rogue on Vox in TBS (I'd move the rogue using auto follow on the warrior and have a merc or two out). These times were fun, but not as much fun as grouping with other people (which I somehow found I did less while boxing - despite my intentions).

The last 2 times I logged in i grouped with people I didn't know.

Price of Burnout4 on takp: infinite plat because there's so few players killing what drops it that it's nonexistent

You can search the entire history of /1 in discord and it's literally never been for sale, just dozens of people searching for it. And it's never been in the bazaar.

I'm not sure why you can't just be honest about the shortcomings of the server. I like it better than p99 but there's no need to oversell it.
