I understand that we have not seen the changes imp'd here and that we are all guessing right now but I wanted to comment on these changes in general. It was my understanding that the intent of the changes originally was to address two issues: 1. Making room for EQ in new zones to be better than the ...

How about a skill with the same name for both pali and Anti - Sacrifice- Pali - Instantly rescues all players but sets defensive skills to 0 for 2-4 rounds. Anti - Shoves the person closest on the group list in front of the Anti and switches the mob from the anti to them. I would say make the Anti a...

No offense here but until mellee as a whole is addressed how can we look at Rangers and balance them? Until mellee is balanced against casting no amount of increase in Ranger power is going to get them to replace an invoker. The main issue here is that mellee is single target while casting is not. A...

I'd like to see an exp bonus for using skills. Some classes already have it such as chanters for stoning, priests for Healing. Here are examples for others: Rogues using hide/sneak in the same room as an agro mob of their level or more. Necro's - raising the dead Druids - Using shape change in agro ...

I still don't understand why guards don't mind 'a vicious nightmare' being in their city walls, but a shaman's spirit is worthy of attack? This is the same with almost any other pet where it makes even less sense. Maybe I wasn't around when it was made this way, but why are city guards aggro spirit...

Guilds can design them and submit for god approval. 4 different types per guild, Leader, Officer, Whatever the hell the other type other than standard guildie, and regular old guilded player. 2.

I actually look forward to the Eq coming to be more balanced. The best zone I have done in a long long time is SPOB. Why? Because Eq is not what determines who survives. The HP EQ is out of balance right now. There are rarely big spanks of groups that know what they are doing. That is due to the HPS...

I am not sure what the problem with the tree is. We did it last night with the following group:

Lvl 42 Warrior
Lvl 42 Rogue
Lvl 50 Druid
Lvl 50 Lich
Lvl 50 Illusionist

I am sure that there are times that people just get unlucky but I think it can be done with 4 level 50's today.

Sorry Bil. I guess I got that from Nekler's welcome to Shaman only being good for Gheals.

You using spirit wrack to stun casters while soloing?

I just changed strategies a bit for that.

I never noticed that stun would stop bashing though. Maybe I was just missing it.

I have noticed a significant increase in the number of failed QC's in the last week. I have asked around and I seem not to be the only one.

Has something been changed?

Thanks

old depok

I don't know guys. The only thing I don't do that I did before the code changes is stun. The only change that has made is make me MORE valuable since mobs now actually get to cast a bit so my gheals are more valuable. I might be the exception but I have a hard time playing another class because I ha...

old depok

The prob with adding any more gate keeper mobs, whether it be a gatehouse / more trolls / etc etc, is that you still have the same situation where you are doing one fight to establish your claim to a zone. Deciding who is capable of doing this fight and what constitutes fairly starting it will have...

old depok

No offense but this is not a new subject.

Any mob that is flagged as a helper is going to assist a mob against a player. This happens in GN all the time with the fleas.

Hope you get it fixed though.

old depok

Keep in mind that right now that second group that gets up there knows that they will at least get half of the invasion if it loaded, can walk by the group doing the trolls (I believe that is right though not sure) and then try to get their group ready the fastest to claim the palace. As a result th...

old depok

I think that one group getting invasion is fine. The reason for the other suggestions like gate house, etc. is the other issue of "how big a group can claim". Can I claim invasion if I get my shaman up to the trolls and do them in runs? If I start on the Trolls and add people as I go is that ok? How...

old depok

How about make a gate that guards jot. If there is an invasion the key loads in the gate house on one of the guards hidden in inventory. If no invasion it loads on the trolls hidden in inventory. That way if you kill the trolls and find the key you know it is !invasion and don't have to kill the gat...

The reason I group with Moritheil is so I can zone with the people who are zone level but are just learning about their class and it's responsibilities in zones. It makes me appreciate my SOI groups so much more. Doing the harder zones pushes you to play your character and class to it's limits. It m...

old depok

But Bil, we could do all that before. We just needed to get someone at 1w to throw up a gate!

Now we could do it FASTER with Pshift.

Never did understand the reasoning about shaman not getting pshift. Is that spell so unbalancing as to not give it to us? Or is it that you want to have clerics have something that shaman have other than Res, Fheal, Slow poison? Just don't understand it. Of course I also don't understand why necro's...

old depok

Heh.. Depok you get nominated for dumbest idea of the year. Making it too difficult for a grid group to get to jot would hugely diminish the very thing about the zone that makes it great. From one of my earlier posts in this thread... "It is a hard thing to work out because you don't want to force ...

old depok

the trolls should be left alone, which screw up regular jot I like the idea of adding some nasty at 1u of trolls, then you have to have a full group to take tree. Then at that point its first group to take nasties get invasion. And no we werent camping we were checking grid for rares when the poppe...

old depok

Still think the issue is the race. The race is done with fewer players than needed for full on invasion cause it can be. Make the race to get the whole group together and then check Jot and you solve the problem. I just don't see it as fair that one group does the hard work fastest and then gets hal...

old depok

Oh, and let's not get caught up in who was there when in the past. We all can cite instances when we or someone we know thought they were screwed on Jot invasion.

Let's try to think about how we address the issue.

Depok

old depok

It was my impression that if the gods needed to reboot everyone needed to be out of Jot. If there was an emergency and they couldn't wait and invasion loads, I suggest that they just boot it up again until invasion doesnt load. The fact that you were in Jot at the time bil gave you the advantage of ...

old depok

I think the problem is that the trolls are not hard enough and it allows small groups to check if invasion loaded and then gather a group after finding out. Here is my suggestion... First group to kill trolls gets full invasion. Make the trolls much harder (so that you have to have the group togethe...
