Thanks for continuing to breathe life into EZ Server, Draca. 

Seems like all I do is complain about crashing lol.  Anyway, previous crashing issue was figured out.  I used to be able to ZP ToFS with new armor settings without crashing with 9 toons.  Since I added another 3 (total of 12), I keep on getting disconnected.

I went over the optimization guide and brought everything down to bare bones settings including Viewport 1 1 1 1 on all toons.   Did old models with toons.  Everything filtered out except regular communication channels, ooc, shout, auction, etc I did not do stick figures either and I'm still crashing or either getting disconnected.

I'm thinking this is on the zone side since it's all enclosed.  Is that possible? Memory per toon is using about 380 - 400mb.  My PC is pretty decent I5, 3.2 ghz, 32 GB ram and graphics card (GTX 1060 3gb) is ok i guess.  I know it's not the best LOL.  Could it be graphics card?

Noot's works if you take out the Ultimate Protection Aug.  Line 1, Dodge prevents the FD from triggering.  Ignore Death Aug works though.

Similar to how the super rare Battle Hardened Army Ant T10 mount does not summon if you have Howl of the Huntmaster buff on.  The slot 2, Attack, prevents it from being summoned.  I thought I had a broken mount so I destroyed it... eventually got another and figured it out lol

I think I will need another 3 toons minimum, Otto.  Still not enough dps it seems.  Makes me wonder if i'll even need more if Sam is wiping a ton with 24 lol

Is this not usable now?

I can understand why a minimum requirement in UA is required.  I think it's to save you from embarrassment in the next level/tier lol.  Say the requirement was removed and you only have T10 gear/armor, you will not progress very far in the next zone Sleepers or VP due to lack of gear and/or DPS (especially VP)

I have 9 decently equipped toons (war, pally, cleric, bard, enchanter, zerker, ranger, monk, necro) and I think I will need to make an additional 3 toons minimum (thinking 2 rogues and an extra pally) just to, possibly, have enough DPS to progress further.  Damn, Enslaved dragon soul with random unresistable/uncurable debuffs.  Once it procs, i'll be lucky if I still survive the encounter.  What more as I progress thru VP where mobs are getting considerably tougher, when I'm not even halfway thru the zone (/cough Draca).

You can see it as a bottleneck, sure, but even if it were removed, you won't get very far.  I mean, at least you get to see a new zone 

Thanks for doing some tuning in VP, Draca.  I was going to make a post about it. Last week I was there and kept on wiping on one of the mobs which I could not get past (one of the dragons).  Was hoping 9 decently geared toons could get pretty far.  We'll see how it goes.

Should be able to vote for both!  Amazing job Sarthin and Draca!

"It won't be the lava that kills you" dance lol 

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Any caster can bind before Aby or at the Warders.  If you had a mage or summon clickie, you can just summon your group down vs clearing each time to get there.

I'll try and log in to test some time this weekend.  Any way to update character data? A few of my toons have made incredible gains since that time in September and would surely be able to push further in with the added dps.

Thank you, Dimur, for another QOL macro.  Very helpful!

Having the same issue.  All toons just got kicked out and now blank server select as well   

I can come for a couple hours.  Have some family over the weekend so my time would be limited.

Mongo, one of my toons I just leveled up is a necro and i think he's awesome.  He's the only toon I will use for a SR ZP.  Once mobs are together, Death 4, Incisor. Epidemic and FD to clear aggro.  Does a ton of AoE damage.  He has UC3 and mana neck.  I don't use pet so not sure if mana neck is really beneficial.  In my younger days I grouped with someone who had 4 necros.... mobs just melted lol

But you're right, it's hard to know what class to spend on especially with the rarity of GSS's.  Some classes are surprisingly good.  We'll usually find out later on when someone tests and pushes the class to the limit.

Who said rangers can ZP and tank a zone?  /cough Falcon     We didn't know it could be done until it was done
