    It's really not hard its overtuned. There is a complete difference if you think in a year you wont still have to use DA and preincarnation pulling the adds out of line of sight of the boss and exploiting 2 abilities in ways they were not intended to be used then you must not think using abilities in a way they were completely not designed is fundamentally not an exploit ?

    Cough shaman preincarnation tanking in ntov

    If they made da and preincarnation not work in this zone what so ever how many people would beat it next week ?

    Could you also pass this to the designer?
    Code:
    [Mon Nov 10 20:48:20 2014] a phasmia vitali begins to cast a spell. <Pillar of Claws>
    [Mon Nov 10 20:48:20 2014] a phasmia vitali begins to cast a spell. <Pillar of Claws>
    [Mon Nov 10 20:48:20 2014] a phasmia vitali begins to cast a spell. <Pillar of Claws>
    [Mon Nov 10 20:48:20 2014] a phasmia vitali begins to cast a spell. <Pillar of Claws>
    [Mon Nov 10 20:48:20 2014] a phasmia vitali begins to cast a spell. <Pillar of Claws>
    Does he realize how much damage that is? He borrowed this spell from the AM1 event. But IIRC it was much smaller initially, and later on Absor upgraded it to be a meaningful punishment for failing emotes in AM1. The mobs in this event don't give you any emotes. They just cast this spell, all at the same time no less. In addition to hitting for 45k.

    Absor was raid 1-5 i believe he doesnt have anything to do with the 2 1 off raids

    Do gms even stand in and watch guilds beat raids anymore??? Id guess not since the expedition having a limit of 54 old school a gm could watch the raid since there was no limit to zones you could have 2 full guilds raiding together if y really wanted or up to 72
  4. Iila Augur

    GMs can go above the 54 player limit.

    For a while at least, the zone would spit out the over 54 warning message if a hidden GM zoned in with a full instance. I think that got fixed in the past couple years, though.
  5. Apoc Augur

    There is just a strong disconnect between player base and gms ... a lot i dont believe understand about what most classes can do or are capable of

    The system devs? Yep. They don't have play experience with current EQ, and it shows. The other devs have varying amounts of experience and knowledge of how the game plays.

    Elidroth has said he's peeked our raids to see if we were 'abusing' some debuff that got nerfed. The fact that I didn't see any of the too many in zone warnings in the months leading up to that is what leads me to believe that a gm client can now bypass that check.

    One of the best things that could happen to EQ is if all the people working on the game actually had level a heroic character to 105 on a live server.

    Nope. We've had the over 54 warning with a GM in zone about a month ago.

    Thanks Prathun - the spell damage from the phasma magia (sp) would need to be looked at too.
  9. strongbus Augur

    That is the point. If you want to access t2 you should have to do the quests in t1. All this is doing is giving into the people who don't want to do the work(and the quest and missions in katta and temp are a joke) to get to higher zones. Sorry if I think that is wrong.

    All the while complaining about small expansion size and lack of content.

    having problems with the launchpad when i get on test but can get on live any suggestions heard that everyone that trin to get on test is having the same issue
  12. Yoda Journeyman


    Yes, Same here. Launcher closing while patching. :(
  13. Zantor Augur

    I like most of these patch notes, I just wish you could dye / tint herioc armor.

    Whats the reward for the new mission?
  15. Draco Journeyman

    same here also, been like that for hours. also if you are lucky enough to have another computer that you last logged on test and didn't go to the live server you can log on test with no issues, you would think this would be an easy fix, seeing that there was just files that were changed but re-validating and such does nothing. has anyone tried uninstalling EQ and reinstalling and then trying?

    Combine Dredge HA - A bulk of them are the HA, some at the end are actually grey cons in MMM lol (Forgot gamparse 1.05 was displaying some fights but contained much more, and found those too)

    Please add Zalikor's Fang I/II/III to the list of disciplines with Physical Resist problems.
