Hosting Kunark PVP box to probe deeply for interest

[Zahovoon]

I guess saying break chance would be clearer lol. The original cast is just MR/Level based I believ,e then each break tick chance is CHA/MR/Level rolled into a formula.

I went down a rabbit hole of well permanent charm and endless buffs etc etc all that type shit but just ended up scrapping it all and going full no custom Red99 based Kunark. It's pretty legit and hard, and even though it's instant 60 it's still a challenge.

Alright. Cool. That is good to know. When you have a chance I have a very weird bug happening to one of my accounts. Hope you can help fix. All the characters are currently unplayable.

[Zahovoon]

Go on explain.

Also you need to write a testimonial like 2 paragraph thoughts on connection, content, vibes, etc. Requirement to playing.

Bug fixed itself. I had a character that dced and then for some reason all the characters on the account could barely move or cast spells. It fixed itself about 5-10 minutes later.

Very fun experience. Me and another player on server got king tranix down to 19%. We also had atleast 3 people playing today on the server which is huge growth given the couple days the server has been up. I do very much think this is the classic Everquest experience and I don't see any difference between this and the VZTZ experience, except for the amount of players. I would recommend this to anyone, especially, if you are like me, and have a full time job. Being level 60 makes it so much easier to get the gear. I personally started in guk grabbing the essentials and then to solb. Moving onto Karnors, COM and Sebilis next. Really looking forward to more people playing.

Not that I want to shit on VZTZ but the Dev umm Voidd came back released a box, didn't have any of the old VZTZ stuff working so he had to use a version of ROZ from Skeeter.

Which had pets max hitting for 60 dmg each hit quad hit, plus a 100% stun kick every time. Really sloppy content/feeling/pathing I mean it was all old and junky ROZ which was Image/Devnoob shit.

I am not saying at one point VZTZ wasn't the pinnacle of EQEMU PVP, but I think it's gone for good.

My box uses current PEQ DB, with all TAKP 1.0 content patched. The pathing, the agro/mob functionality is superior I can't say how much twice as good.

Also the Melee code was altered in the source code, I located the parts in the source code that was obviously made by EQEMU and unclear on how things worked. They had 66% dmg nerf apply to melee and spells, also there was an additional EQEMU added PvP Mitigation changeable rule not sure if it was ever concluded as just AC, or if it included other avoidance, but Bamzal found that and was disabled with a new scaling rule for us. Maybe necessary for further expansions where shit got out of control? Not sure why they did it. Bamzal coded and compiled that shit for me though, I just found it interesting to read through the source code on how shit is calculated. There was also a Pet PVP dmg nerf, obviously the 2/3 spell dmg is in place. Think that's all of the PVP changes.

its been about 30 minutes but i was dced and my characters are still online. not sure if you can reset the server or boot them if you see this.

[vinaden]

still stuck online for some reason

I'm 450 pounds trying to kill my chair 24/7 and you won't catch me grinding hardmode EQ. 10 max % a kill I'm a fart in the wind.

What people really want is to have PVP enabled on Quarm basically and get to just make a real mess of shit. Look I get it. I blocked the guk tunnel on Quarm, took me 15 hours to get level 9 or something.

I just don't think people will do it, if they do it for red99 2.0 it will be brief, and most will leave like red99 1.0, they especially won't do it for my box.

Guild v Guild PVP or nothing IDC about the purple players who want to solo grind a pvp box with 20 people.
