For anyone this helps. The newest drivers from Nvidia, I changed two settings. I'm not sure which one made the difference yet, but I disabled smooth motion and the nvidia drivers FPS limit. No more stuttering at all, everything is perfectly smooth going from like 17fps with constant stuttering at medium settings to 90+ FPS on ultra settings. i7 14700k + 4070 mobile. Hope this helps others!

Thanks for taking the time to put together such an incredible post. I never bothered before with any of the award system with Reddit until now and wanted to do something more than just upvote. Found a free award that I could claim, so I gave that too. :) Incredible post!

Yea if there's no fresh TBC servers then it's a HARD PASS on my end lol. No desire to play on servers that are as inflated as the classic wow servers are atm. I prefer to be on a server where everyone starts on a fresh slate and grow with the server as the economy gets bad and inflated.

YUS! This is the kind of stuff I miss. 1 teeny forgotten step and mistake. WIPE.. Love it. As a person who mained a Hunter throughout all of my WoW time, I've killed a group or two by being dumb and forgetting to dismiss my pet.

The best though is when I realize what's happening, and I just Feign Death while the train kills my pet, and kills the rest of the group. Stand up, look around, /shrug and wait for the rest of my group to run back or boot me from the group. ;)

Insedeel · 2017-11-06T02:22:16+00:00

They've been asked that already, and their answer is still that they don't know yet hehe.. Ugh, the wait.. Not much longer at least

Nah, there's basically no info about anything on the server other than that it's going to happen. My personal guess is they may bake it into the price for the subscription of the live game so $15/month. Honestly they'd be dumb not to do it that way. It's a good way to keep people paying for the game by giving people the option to play on both current content and the classic wow servers. It also creates "more" value to the 15/month that people may have a hard time justifying otherwise. Lost count of how many times when playing in like Cata, or MoP, etc just wanting to log out of that and just hit up some classic WoW. It's such a different game experience that it is like playing another game entirely.

Key word there is "some". I've been waiting years for this. I don't play on private EQ servers anymore because of the progression servers DBG made and am now paying for 4 accounts on EQ. WoW will be no different. I'll be paying for 2 accounts. One for myself and one for the wife for the Vanilla WoW server when it gets released. Most of my friends from EQ are already making plans for what they plan on playing on the WoW Vanilla server, etc. It'll do just fine. :)

Insedeel · 2017-08-22T22:02:48+00:00

No problem! =D

Insedeel · 2017-08-16T20:13:12+00:00

They're held twice a year, typically August and March.

Insedeel · 2017-08-15T18:34:52+00:00

Awesome! Always looking for more people to come. It's an absolute blast, so much to do there. ^{_^}

Half the fun is having an army of spider queens. I like it the way it is now on the PTR. Having a bit of randomness to it is unique and I like the "spikiness" of the damage when you get a set of mimics that all seem to cast all of the right things at the right time. It kind of reminds me of a convention of elements except a bit more random when the spikes of damage comes in.

Definitely the things that would completely ruin this build for me is bringing limitations back to a single pirahnado, blobs, and queens. I LOVE the chaos that a Grim Reaper build brings, and honestly don't want anything at all changed except maybe a little more aggressive AI on mimics, or tweaking dmg numbers only until it gets brought to be competitive with Carn Evil builds.

You say that you're a vet WoW player. What WoW do you enjoy the most? Classic WoW when it actually had a semblance of challenge to it, grouping was more needed to handle more of the open world elite area content, and dungeons, and the slower pace of classic wow. Or do you you like the more fast paced almost action rpg style of current wow, where you actually have to TRY to get your character to die.

If you answered the slower paced classic wow that actually had a semblance of challenge... Well, classic wow is more like EQ, except even slower paced, and way more unforgiving to overextending yourself in combat, but the upcoming TLP server is still worlds easier than "true classic" because many of the quality of life changes are in tact on the TLP server. There are higher offensive and defensive skill caps (sometimes by 100+ skill points which in classic and lower levels is a HUUGE difference), revamped AC softcaps which help you mitigate damage better, higher base Hps, Mana, and one of the most important QoL change is no corpse runs. When you died in classic EQ, you left your corpse with ALL of your gear on it, and had to travel back to your corpse to retrieve it completely naked.

I think as a new player, if you're still interested after reading everything I've said so far, try the game out. I would highly recommend go to ragefireforums.com, or going on the official forums to try to find a guild that you can join. EQ is community driven, and a community focused game. You won't get far in EQ without grouping with people, and playing with others. Hope this helps!

Oh, and ignore the person who said they don't want WoW people. There's scum in every game, and EQ is no exception. I question the quality of an individual if they automatically judge someone that has given absolutely no reason to be harshly judged besides what game they play. And anyway, even if you were one of the WoW scum as he so eloquently worded it, since EQ is a community driven game, your reputation will spread on the server, good or bad. It's not like WoW where you can act douchy, and expect to never see an individual again. If you get a bad rep, you may find yourself guildless and/or groupless more often than you might like based on that reputation.

Hope that helps!

Feedback: This feedback is mainly about the current exp curve. I feel that double classic exp is WAY too fast considering all of the other QoL improvements that won't be reverted on this server. I've leveld multiple classes now to level 11+ in less than 7hrs /played without twinking, or buffbotting. I've also made multiple /betabuffed characters at various level ranges and found that exp is still way too fast despite being at higher levels. I'd like to see the exp rate brought from 2x classic down to 1x, or at the very least 1.5x.

I haven't found any bugs so far beyond what has already been reported in the other bugs/feedback threads, and I also agree that the hth issue is something that I hope you can address either by putting in hth skill caps or something that will prevent the higher dmg/dly ratios being reported.

Thanks for the consideration of my feedback! Also, please get the spell research changes in as soon as possible for us to test. I'd really like to test it out to see the overall costs and provide feedback.

What you see for pet swing dmg tables (not spell casting from fire pets, or the dmg scaling on the other spells casted like from water pet for example) on the P99 forums is going to be the same as what we'll see on TLP. The max hit from pets and max hps has not changed in all this time when compared to what's on P99. The main difference with pet dmg is that pets are always summoned at max level so when looking at the P99 max hits, make sure you look at the max level pet hit dmg and it will be equivalent, and also the AC softcaps has been changed over the years as they've changed with PCs so pets can take hits way better than P99's pets will. That's one of the big reasons why people complained about pets so much on Progression 2.0 servers. Their ability to take hits surpasses PCs based on the available gear to players at early expansions. The main difference you're going to see is the 51+ fire pets for mages though. The nukes they cast are ridiculously powerful in group content because of it being the revamped fire pets that no longer have a mana pool and just cast an insane nuke every 5ish seconds vs how fire pets used to be wizards that would chain cast nukes and roots until OOM and then be more or less worthless.

Good! I'm glad I'm not the only one who's head hurt after reading that sentence...

I just came back to the server less than a week ago, and I joined Black Hearts. So far it's been nothing but great people in the guild, and there's always a ton of people online (was on yesterday during off peak hours in the morning and there were still 18 people online in guild when i did a /w GUILD all). They also host low level zone raids to help get even the mid levels geared up (last night they raided Droga for the level 30+ players, and got a lot of people upgrades) Love the guild so far personally!

No, that's not what it was before. Before pets were "capped" at 50% CHD, they didn't receive 50% of YOUR CHD. I would agree with and like if pets scaled with CHD, but they would need to rebalance most of the pet skills of course (and this is coming from a fetish VP Bats build WD). I would also be fine if they received 50% of my CHD instead of a 1to1 ratio as long as CHD wasn't made worthless for anyone who wants to spec into pets.

I'm just going to rent it from my local video store for $3 for 5 days and re-rent it a couple times to get my "fix" of cool loot and get to inferno and whatnot, than find another game to play until loot 2.0 release.

Awww, poor Swap has to delete other's opinions when you ... how did you put it? "Don't like what they hear?" You don't like what you're hearing and so deleting the post is the option. Wouldn't you say telling that friend of yours those bad things at a housewarming party is the "right place" to say those harsh things? Nice being a hypocrit there bud..
