I have been having to use my phone to get to the EZ server site because i keep getting an error from Bitdefender.  I think it is the 504 error also.  Certificate doesnt match signature or blah blah blah... Let me check my forums dang it.

Maybe try incognito?

Thanks Draca!  I fully agree it really doesn't matter, but hell, I still have all my weapons from Sleepers in my bags for kicks...

Ahh I see your point.  Yah the zone isn't "hard" at this point, but I have to tell you my damn luck is so bad spawning bosses is like pulling teeth.

I think maybe the OP is more about keeping the HW weapon as a cool item that hard work was done for.  I get that, I dont want to give up my Mixlors even though the UW is better.  I dont think it is anything more than an item i got that i want to keep looking at in my bank or inventory.  Plus, something i haven't understood, if you cant DW a UW and a Mixlors, what is the harm in altering the lore group so i can keep it in my bank? 

When it comes to the 1hand items or range item i am less in the know as i think i only have the 1hs on my bard.  So i dont know if those items could cause an imbalance if paired with a UW type.

Just my thoughts.

I would like to try to get a round in.  Have been working like crazy so didnt try to get in on the last few days.  After you get back would be killer!

Would have 33 myself but can parse that down if needed for other people to help with dps/experience.

Have a great trip!

Wow!  The changes already are kick ass!!

Does anyone else read the WIKI words now with Sarthin's voice narrating them?

After watching the videos its like the official narration of EZ.

Thanks everyone for the work!

who did the previous update?  The previous revamp was awesome!

I wont have anytime this summer to mess with it but we get a little cold and bored come winter and can help.

Thanks guys!

Wow that is awesome!  Amazing amount of work appears to be going into it! 

Thanks Boss!

Are people really not able to understand the concept of "don't do the extremely obviously bad thing"? Yes you're not allowed to use druids, if you're using that druid to solo stuff because it's immune to damage. You're also not allowed to use pets that are immune to damage to tank things. If you just don't do those things, and don't do anything else that also makes you immune to damage, you will be fine.

Well sorry to cause a word war and spark the ire. If the moto was clearer my question  would have been a non issue.

Sure I can’t use a Druid to solo stuff but hey it says don’t use the damn class if it’s broken.

Now in discord Draca was very clear so that was helpful but damn why so freakin angry.

Yah that message would be nice to clarify.  I jumped back into veeshan last night (didnt read the message) and just killed like normal.  I didnt do Tunare, I will let the much smarter people figure that one out before i jump back in.

I assume (yes i know the meaning) that i am ok if i am normally warrior tanking with my team beating the mobs to death?  Druid is healing and necro is dotting so i would think that is ok huh?

Did you do that poem with Chat GPT?

TLDR: No.

Long answer: Loot in VP is my biggest mistake in the zone. Initially, VP was intended to be incredibly difficult, considerably more difficult than it is now. Along with that would be some legacy loot drops that would in some way make up for the generally slow pace. This included drops of different essences, GSS's, GSoA's etc. While these drop rates were adjusted with the reduced level of difficulty, it wasn't enough given the rate at which people can pull through the zone. To see people not looting previously valuable materials because they are too common is direct result of some bad decision making and inexperience, and I won't make it any worse by making more materials virtually worthless.

Oh, I guess I didn't know or understand the backstory on difficulty and loot.  I thought the zone has been working nicely but I understand what you mean.  Seems like you are beating yourself up a little, I think the zone added content and change that we havent seen in a long time.  I would say that is a 100% win!  Thanks Draca!

Also not sure if this is where to post something like this, is there anyway to get essences above cazic in the loot table for the higher VP mobs?  Qvic and cazic are not hard farms but I think dragons and air are more desired now a days then the abyss and up haha.

thanks!

The Leather BP out of VP has a healing spell that is listed as going off in [Combat].  I dont believe that is working.  I parsed the file for the words that should go along with that spell and it didnt appear to proc in a file of 3 ish hours of fighting. 

Just tossing it out there, this is probably the best sum up to the MQ2 questions.

The principle here on EZ when it comes to boxing is that you may run everything from your main tank client window. We run our boxes via the broadcast system in MQ2, so /bct cleric //cast 1 and so on. Think of the main window as the puppet master. Just make sure you don't automate anything when fighting for AA or exp. It may seem like a lot of work and management, but from own experience it's really just a bit time consuming to set up, once you are done, you can with only a few hot key presses per fight, make sure your Rogues backstab, your Wizards cast their damage spell, your Clerics target and heal you once, and so on. Some things are allowed to run via macros though, like loot macros and buff macros are allowed. Making a macro or run a plugin for i.e. your cleric to heal and buff you through the entire fight automated is a no go. Making a hot key on your main window that sends a /bca //keypress 2 for example is a good way to control your other characters. Then you can go through your other characters and make sure their hot key #2 does something important for a fight.

Nice work Sarthin.


Also, Stellar his videos are great and detailed for the server.  Perfect for a new person.

You will find people to help you for sure with buffs or what not, but a lot of us will AFK and leave 16 toons sitting around.  Not ignoring you, we are probably alt tabbed watching porn.

Welcome!
