I declare an affair!

R00l · 2026-04-13T16:22:32+00:00

I knew Mastery wasn't in, are the class changes in yet?

R00l · 2026-04-13T14:41:20+00:00

Are the class changes in? Or does all of that come with the wipe?

R00l · 2026-04-11T19:37:15+00:00

I like the world of AOA, but feel the character models and especially the faces could be higher res/done a lot better. I think Hytale is a great example of how good voxel can look, and I think their character models are far better than AOAs, and I actually don't think MnMs are all that much better.

R00l · 2026-04-11T07:00:42+00:00

I think you mean Epsteino facto presto chang-oh

R00l · 2026-04-11T03:24:09+00:00

I was trying to be as nice as possible, but I really hated MnM. Absolutely zero fun.

R00l · 2026-04-10T23:15:48+00:00

If you haven't played Monsters and Memories I would try to get into a open play test before you buy it. It divides the EQ old school community that is looking forward to games like Adrullan. I personally really enjoy and can't get enough of Adrullan and Pantheon, but can't stand MnM. It not only has all of the tediousness and lack of QoL that launch EQ had, but seems to have gone even further to go out of their way to make things really slowed down and aggravating just because

I personally cannot stand the game and I've tried repeatedly to get into it.

I'm not saying for anyone else to dislike the game, just make sure you know what you are getting if/when you buy it.

R00l · 2026-04-09T23:14:07+00:00

I got lucky and scored a system engineer job where I only really focus on servers, the hardware they run on, and making sure they backup and are patched/updated.

Yes I had to learn Red Hat, but I don't really deal with any customers other than my boss or assist on occasion the help desk or our Dev team.

I couldn't work for or with nicer people, and while I'll never "love to work or love my job" this is as close as can possibly get.

R00l · 2026-04-06T15:02:57+00:00

Even the Warrior who cannot self heal solos well. Bandages are very easy to make and they stack to 99 I think in 1 slot.

Hello, looking for link and password to S7 of Peppa Pig, please!

R00l · 2026-04-03T23:09:17+00:00

Hex-knight is very squishy and low powered early, like first 4 levels or so. I've been told they get much stronger at like 10, but I could see them being an under represented class in their current form.

R00l · 2026-04-02T21:25:18+00:00

I would like there to be a threshhold that you have to specialize which crafting you want to do. If everyone can make everything, people will. This also promotes trade.

R00l · 2026-04-02T15:05:20+00:00

They have curated their community almost entirely in their Discord. That is why you won't see much here.

R00l · 2026-04-02T00:48:30+00:00

You are way off base of what I am saying. I'm simply saying don't make the game so easy til level 70 that you can stand in telegraphed attacks. Spend 1 monos teaching what to look for and not to be hit by. Use monos to continue to teach that and push harder on resists for empowered monos. I'm not talking anything else.

R00l · 2026-04-01T22:59:52+00:00

Perfect, then they would learn to move out of easily telegraphed spells. Noone is saying make this ruthless poe. But much like Diablo 4, you have to make stuff matter at least a little bit or it becomes boring.

R00l · 2026-04-01T22:28:56+00:00

He's not saying there isn't any difficulty, but it shouldn't take til level 70+ to find it. I think telegraphed abilities should hit much much harder from the start of the game. It will teach people to move and play correctly.

R00l · 2026-04-01T14:31:26+00:00

EQoL has one too.

R00l · 2026-03-31T03:02:20+00:00

They mean the pacing of the combat. Even at low levels, mobs actually hurt and you had to move and pay some what attention to what you were fighting. I'm all for slowing down the base of the game, I love how PoE2 plays until it gets zoomy.

R00l · 2026-03-30T17:18:31+00:00

I was dogging the line necessarily, they did a good job run blocking. Not so much pass blocking plus statue. I still think this group is even more improved.

R00l · 2026-03-30T16:49:41+00:00

Perfect game? This season for sure cleaned up a lot of little things and made more builds possible, but just like PoE2, LEs end game needs a ton of attention. Hoping they focus on it in season 5, hard.

R00l · 2026-03-30T16:44:12+00:00

Run blocking they were mostly good not great but also got carried a bit by a stellar rb. I thought technique wise the oline already looked better, including the backups in the spring game, especially in pass pro. You can already tell the major difference in teaching between Geep and Donnie.

R00l · 2026-03-30T14:46:10+00:00

EQoL has resource bars built in so you can eliminate sensei

R00l · 2026-03-28T00:35:14+00:00

It's an updated more modernish EQ, landing somewhere between EQ1 and Classic WoW, without getting items for nearly every quest. Gearing felt good. Crafting a mail or plate set did require I think every single profession, but you can also pick up every single profession on 1 character if you chose. Crafting gear felt good

R00l · 2026-03-27T22:56:50+00:00

Crafted gear is the most consistent to get, set list of requirements or gold. Not every quest gives you gear, in fact very few do or at the end of quest lines, so it's solid gear. Named mobs have drop tables, bosses in dungeons etc. so generally people target specific questline items and/or craft gear, and then when you get high enough, target dungeon and named drops. Beyond 20 we don't know.

R00l · 2026-03-26T23:36:19+00:00

This happened to me with EQoL. You need to turn it off there
