I made a few and tried explaining to people that they'd be making much more progress if they just grouped with me and let me heal/buff and shinkick but I don't think they believed me

Warrior/Shaman combos tend to be a bit more efficient between the DoTs and buffs from the Shaman.

There was much rejoicing when Greenlit said this:
Monk/Shaman becomes the most broken combo at like, second expansion, and doesn't let up forever I don't think.
Had a friend that thought the same thing, then found himself in a spot in Karnor's Castle where the target he was fighting was capable of casting CH and was getting additional CH support through a wall. He'd bleed it OOM, beat it almost to death and then the CH from another target would prop it up.
Kinda pissed him off. 
But yes.. Monk/Shaman is brutal.
Then there was the time I had that argument with another Shadow Knight about disease cloud, a spell we got at low level. He thought it was useless and I just couldn't beat it into his head that it's one of the best tank taunts in the game. You could use it up to like level 40 and out taunt every warrior in the game with it. So very broken.
Good times. Good times. Mortious fucked around with this message on 08-04-2010 at 10:31 AM.

SWG, Pre-Cu. Not everything works, but enough to keep ya busy.
Easy Jedi unlock because it gets people testing all the combat stuff, and planets and all that crap.
No JTL yet.
No Housing/Cities.
But it feels GOOOOOOOD.
Yes, there are many folks from Tarquinas.
Seriously, fuck EQ.

If there was housing and cities, I'd be all over this. Those are really what made the game so great to me 
I also miss EQ 1 sometimes... I miss my Holy Steed's sheer zone-crossing power and the ability to aggro-lock mobs in groups simply by using a level 9 stun spell.
It worked so well - there was more than one time in PoDisease grouping where the rest of the group was gabbing away while I tanked the mobs with them only having to cast a heal on me ever so often.
Unfortunately, there have been server mergers for both games and it has been a few years, so it's highly unlikely any of my characters are still there, and I'm not spending money to find out.

we just play EQ2 for now.
EQ2 is basically the worst thing in the world. I don't even know how it plays, it just looks completely terrible, like if you took the graphics of a Sega Saturn cutscene and wrapped them in plastic.

meh, use the alt models. Aion was very pretty, and very boring, WoW is to easy and ugly anymore. not into sci-fi or space MMO's. Guild Wars, again, pretty, but boring. Lineage 2, to much ganking, but very pretty. so, for MMO's we play EQ2. i'm gonna guess it's not for you. that's cool.
They're both fucking easy. EQ2 just has more grind for fucking AAs and a shittier tradeskill system.
Actually, I'm pretty sure you can level faster in EQ2 if that matters in the difficulty rating any.
quote:

Take World of Warcraft, and then multiply the amount of damage abilities that you have by 3, and then give them all a cooldown of 6 to 15 seconds, and a cast time of .5 seconds that prevents you from auto attacking if all you do is spam abilities over and over (which is very possible). Or, at least that's a melee class in EQ2.
to me, from my own personal playing experiences, WoW is easier.
and, i like the tradeskill system better.

Should be in by end of the year.. they're getting the code done, and testing it almost daily. And seein as this is a bunch of folks spare timing it, it's pretty impressive. SOE apparently is not very generous with the shit what makes the server side run. So they have to reverse engy and find clues hidden in OLD files from pre-cu installs of the game that are somehow still intact.

I got Deth back into EQ2 as well. He plays a dark elf assassin to my froglok ranger. Lyinar Ka`Bael fucked around with this message on 08-27-2010 at 08:12 PM.

No, but we do bounce everywhere. Isn't your froglok necro pet the dead thing? 
I do love our Hydromotion racial ability, though. We get innate water breathing, but that's the one that lets us sink to the bottom of water. Very helpful as a ranger to be able to run along the bottom as opposed to trying to swim around to fight things in the water.

and the totally free service, well you get what you pay for, but it does make for a nice demo. though kinda feel sorry for the newer players. I liked the little village starting area setups that was in the game.
And I could see the draw of the freemium service if you wanted to just try things out (they got rid of the 14 day trial) but not if you wanted to play and really experience things. They're limited in race, class, broker transactions, amount of gold, bank slots and a lot of other things unless they go to one of the paying subscriptions. And even then they can't get what they would get for a normal full subscription on the Live servers.
I guess it's been pretty popular so far, though. And there is the draw of the types of things they can buy off the Marketplace, that aren't available on the Live servers. So maybe that's a plus for some folks.

yeah, it's dead. suppose that would account for the squishy noises. the flips when he's fighting amuse me as well.
and the free EQ, yeah, 14.99 gets you limited races, may as well just do the regular sub and use the free month as a trail with no race limitations.
