Are you guys sick of Velious already?

I bet 90% of the people 'sick' of Velious haven't even seen a ratman in DN or killed a mermaid in SG. Noobs are scared shitless of this zone, for good reason, because they're frieking noobs, but the p99 echo chamber has effected them so badly they don't even have the thought, "Well gee, if we can't do it with one group, why not try two?!"

Two, three group raids is a complete fucking anomaly to the now-braindead members of p99 because they've just been constantly berated with a cacophony of misinformation and pessimism.

"That class is useless" "You're not useful until you do x" "Z doesn't have a spot in raids" "Why are you going to Q zone? P zone is much better"

The noobs on this server have been fed nothing but absolute fucking garbage information from the self-styled 'min maxers' on the server that couldn't fucking pull their pants up without the help of 50 other raid members. It's fucking insulting. It's insulting to the entire game and insulting to the intelligence of the average person.

Velious zones are empty and people are 'sick of Velious' because they've been brainwashed into this absolutely ludicrous style of thought regarding a fucking video game, and what's more they're so indoctrinated they can not POSSIBLY imagine breaking the mold of what they're doing already.

Just look at the likes of Taken, BDA, etc. Those guilds with literally dozens, if not hundreds, of people and they can't organize an expedition into DN to get a Willsapper? Are you fucking kidding me?

People 'sick of Velious' probably never even experienced it. Because they never even attempted to. People on this server are so narrow minded and unintelligent at this point players like myself look from a distance and just laugh.

100 man raids in NToV? That's your end goal? That's your idea of 'Playing Everquest' and having a powerful character? Fucking laughable.

This guy lays pipe. Rock on bruh

With respect to Tuljin's and Waedawen's respective posts:

A related part of the issue I see, in general, is that a significant portion of the player base suffers from appalling laziness. I remember a couple months back I went with a group into Siren's Grotto with a cleric who--by his own admission--was tabbed out reading websites most the time. Guess what? We died and the Cleric actually had the gall to suggest we needed a /defensive Warrior (what a laugh). My same group, with a different (and more attentive) cleric, later went back numerous times without issue. Just yesterday I tried to join a small raid with a casual guild and...nobody seemed awake. Couldn't get a group invite, couldn't even get buffs...so I hammered out and did other stuff. These types of players aren't the sort of people who'll ever have much success pushing the envelope, nor do they have any interest in even trying. Folks can stick around in Karnor or (to a slightly lesser extent) even Sebilis and pretty much just phone it in. Chardok is of course disgustingly easy. Not only are Velious dungeons typically slower experience, but they're also tougher overall. The monsters hit for more than in Kunark, the environments themselves are harder (ever try to get some newbie up through Velketor? ugh!), and so forth. "Path of least resistance" definitely rules the roost here on P1999.

High-end raiding means nothing to me; I've no interest in it. Never have, never will. 75 people standing around flailing on some monster isn't my idea of a good time. Each to their own. Every person standing around in Temple of Veeshan waiting on something to spawn is a person who isn't contesting the content I want to do. Might as well be playing different games entirely.

Good to see there are some old guard who can see past the bullshit. "Path of least resistance" indeed.

Solo a Necro to 60 and enjoy the game. It's nice.

Need to keep this thread bumped. Lots of realistic opinions in it.

velious is really great, if you stay out of the raid game

actually that's just good advice for the blue server in general. don't do it.

I played Velious actively for about a month with a maxed out Kunark 60 ranger basically guildless. Had more fun with that than my past year+ of raiding, which of course, was only to have a maxed out Kunark 60 ranger day 1 of Velious to derp around solo with while ditching the awful state P99 raiding devolved into. My cloak has clicky 50% spell haste. I won EQ.
