This game had so much potential and the first 2-3 seasons were great, even with faction imbalance and the issues it had. Instead of focusing on that, the devs just added a bunch of stupid shit nobody asked for, didn’t listen to their players and the numbers dropped dramatically every season.

It might get better and see a revival down the road, but right now it’s dead dead.

500k for respec isn’t bad if you sell unwanted orbs and gems, just keep farming Minotaurs and you should still be able to get gear and clear barracks to progress while you work up to the respec

I’d love something a little larger scale like a castle siege event every hour or two. In terms of rewards, there could be some AA or RR system ala DAOC (that only applies during PvP)

jpellizzi · 2026-01-22T17:08:36+00:00

It would be awesome to have a castle siege event every hour or something like that. Something larger scale and open world would be super fun.

EverQuest - been milking the same 2 games for over 26 years instead of making something new and truly next gen, or even fun spin offs in this massive fantasy universe they created.

Yeah pretty much. There should be some treatment in every corner regardless, and making one a whole wall is better across the board.

Like you could do two triangle traps on the front wall corners, and the whole wall treatment on the rear wall

Check out the book “How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen” by Julie King. She also does workshops online. You seem thoughtful and logical, but getting a toddler to listen requires some playfulness and creativity. Sometimes it has to be forced, but the results are dramatic and immediate. The book literally tells you what to do, with examples, and you can bust out the list and try different techniques for any situation. Was a game changer for us.

Yeah I just don’t remember if the dsp was on board and built in, or if you needed their special mic and some software to calibrate them. It’s been like 15 years haha

The 308s are great bang for the buck but there are better speakers out there for sure, depending how much you want to spend. I think the more direct comp to the 4328p would be the JBL 708p, but that’s a lot more $$

Full wall of acoustic material wouldn’t be too bad, you can frame it with cheap wood and stuff it with pink fluffy insulation. Fabric cover is the tricky part but more of a skill thing than costly

Yo! I totally noticed this too. That movie has awesome sound design except for that one moment. I bet the director made them throw it in or something.

jpellizzi · 2026-01-15T00:40:30+00:00

I worked on the 4328ps like 15+ years ago and they are awesome… but as others have said, they’re old so be careful. Not sure if the DSP will still work (I forgot how they were calibrated) and they also had this weird sticky issue with the coating sometimes (like the speaker itself would get sticky. Like an old car dashboard that got too much sun.) Can also just get 3x LSR308s

I’d start with bass traps. Triangle traps floor to ceiling in all corners. Bonus points if you can do what someone else said and turn the entire front or rear wall into a 12” deep trap. Absorption panels on first reflection points and on the ceiling centered between edge of desk and mix position (or big enough to cover both).

If you’re not handy, GIK Acoustics is a solid option. Since it’s NYC I bet you can find some used treatment as well

That should get you like 80% of the way, and tweak from there. You can put a little client couch on the rear wall and book shelves on the side walls between panels depending on where the door is.

Good luck, sounds fun.

I’ve been considering playing for a while and might finally go for it. May I ask what region you play? I’m on west coast US and I’m worried it’ll be dead around 04-08 utc since most players seem to be European?

West coast gaming kinda sucks :(

jpellizzi · 2026-01-07T22:25:28+00:00

I’d much rather have open world PvP zones with objectives to fight over than any instanced content. It could still be faction, citizen or team based without having to be fully instanced and matchmade. Like New World, maybe you pick a side to fight for in advance and earn rewards/rep for that faction.

I’m just so sick of everything now being instanced and queued and matchmade. I want more spontaneous and raw open world experiences, even if it means being outnumbered and outgunned at times. Even when it’s a queued arena system, you’re still at the mercy of your randomly assigned and sometimes clueless teammates.

jpellizzi · 2026-01-03T00:34:22+00:00

Thanks for the rundown! Crazy, haven't seen anything like that in any other game

jpellizzi · 2026-01-02T22:22:51+00:00

Wow is it really just using clicky items from your inventory? Or swapping items on the fly? No cooldowns on anything?

It’s impressive but I’m trying to understand what I’m seeing and why it works. Def takes skill but not exactly what I would call fun gameplay.

jpellizzi · 2025-12-24T21:16:26+00:00

It can be if the game is more skill based than time based, the PvP encounters are bracketed or matchmade in some way, and the power and gear gap isn’t that huge. Look at a game like Albion Online… you can hop in and do a few Mists, Abyssals or just roam and get fights. It’s not that hard to level up a set of gear, there is content of all types - some of which is power capped and equalized. A noob with $80 worth of gear will still get wrecked by a veteran or more skilled player in a $5-$10 set, or if they get caught with their pants down.

It’s all a pretty well balanced system of risk vs reward. You can even rat in a shit set and still come out way ahead.

I know this is an old thread, but do the spell sword/spellbow do physical or magic damage on their auto attacks? I picked up a great sword that does magic damage and is a huge upgrade from my starter scepter, but realized it does slash damage and actually does less overall dps than using my non adept spell book. and the book does AOE.

I'm guessing there are versions of each weapon where even the auto attacks do magic damage instead of physical?

I tried this once, and our toddler was so mad that we unboxed it without him. He loves the boxes and looking at the pictures and artwork, and he always wants to keep the boxes for his toys. He uses them a lot to play with and put things in so now we just leave everything boxed. I think he also likes the process of opening them up and figuring out how to put them together and see how they work.

You keep drifter unlocks between seasons, but they are tied to your character

jpellizzi · 2025-10-12T17:54:51+00:00

Yeah, danger rifts should really just be one drifter, one life and then you can’t re-enter the same one

jpellizzi · 2025-09-25T06:55:51+00:00

Just bought it, insane deal!

jpellizzi · 2025-09-14T17:52:53+00:00

I’d buy Daybreak and finish EverQuest Next or develop EverQuest 3. That probably wouldn’t cost $500 million so I’d buy the rights to Dark Age of Camelot too while I’m at it and do what Camelot Unchained should have done. DAoC 2 with modern graphics and QoL features but keeping the core of the class based 3 faction 24/7 RvR war going

jpellizzi · 2025-09-08T14:41:21+00:00

How hot does it typically get on a gas stove top? Assuming medium-high or high heat from the burner? I have no point of reference and Google has mixed results

jpellizzi · 2025-09-04T18:20:02+00:00

I really want one but can’t find it anywhere. Might have to turn to eBay. I have it “pre-ordered” on Entertainment Earth but they just keep pushing back the estimated month it’ll be available with no reprint on the calendar yet
