EZ Server

Hello,

I'm new here as of yesterday. I found the server thanks to Noots youtube videos. (Great info!)

I was going over the setup guide and it said I could have 3 logins for each forum account. I also read in another thread that my eqemu server login is used.i have 4 at eqemu currently and was going  for 6 total.

 Is the 3 per forum account old information? Can I use a full group (6) with just this forum login name due to the server accounts being from eqemu?

I've been trying to find clarification and have been coming up short.   Any help would be great,

Thanks,
Aeludor

You can only login 1 character on an account at any one time
if you login char 1, and then login char 2 on the same account, char 1 will be disconnected

You need 6 login accounts, if playing 6 characters at the same time, 12 accounts for 12 characters etc

eqemu lets you setup 3 login accounts per forum account, then 1 more per week iirc
So if you set up another account on eqemu, with a different email address, then you have you 6 login accounts straight away

If that makes sense =)

That makes sense now. Thank you!

Welcome to the server! Enjoy your stay :)

Thanks for the welcome. Another question, does race have much to do with end game abilities here? Ie ogres no frontal stun for a warriors tanking. Or is race more a preference of what each person thinks is cool for that class


EDIT: Reading through the class forums I believe I found my answer. Racials only help early on, and i should build my group with the races I like, that are available to my class choices. Because they will eventually surpass innate abilities.

Yep, doesn't really matter much.  You can even race change later on for 5 EZ Credits.

Glad you liked the videos!  I really need to get back on those and finish the series.

Excellent, great to know.

I really enjoyed them and am looking forward to the rest. I was the latest one asking where to find the MQ Advanced, hope it didn't come across as too blunt. Got to the end of the basics and almost started to cry because the next one wasn't there... Emphasis on Almost!

Welcome to our community. Hope you enjoy playing here!

Thank you. It's been pretty fun so far. A few hiccups along the way, but it's coming along..all clients going LD in SFG. Both times after I had all 6 hail the buff not. I think it was too much for the pc... just have to optimize the alts.

Learning MQ2 as well.


Is there a way to have all toons hail, select the quest line and port in at the same time with macroquest or does each one need to be done individually

I started playing in Sept '99. A halfling rogue. The first piece of class gear I got in Paludal here was a Mrylokar piece. Seeing that drop sure brought back memories of my rogue.

^ ^ ^ This is a running thread with different things I've found useful with MQ2.


The part in particular you are interested in for selecting the task from the window is line 2.  One thing you need to know is the name of the task in the task window.  Breaking down this line of code:

/if (${Window[TaskWnd].Child[TASK_TaskList].List[QFI: Purge,2]}) /notify TaskWnd TASK_TaskList listselect ${Window[TaskWnd].Child[TASK_TaskList].List[QFI: Purge,2]}

The /if is checking a condition.  The condition it is checking is the MQ2 TopLevelObject, or TLO, Window.  This is an object that MQ2 has access to the properties of, any UI window would be a TLO.  So we need to tell MQ2 which window we want it to work with and that is nested in the brackets right after the TLO Window[ HERE ]. In this particular code, the window being manipulated is the Task Window known to MQ2 as TaskWnd.  You can read up on the Window TLO here > https://www.macroquest2.com/wiki/index.php/TLO:Window. Now we haveto tell MQ2 what part of the TaskWnd we want to work with. You can see that we want a Child element of the TaskWnd named TASK_TaskList.  This is chained from the Window object with a period to the child element TASK_TaskList and tells MQ2 with another chain-period that it's of the data type List.  

Now that MQ2 is looking at the TLO > Window > TaskWnd > Child Element TASK_TaskList > Of Data Type List

We can manipulate the List itself.  The list would be whatever quests/tasks that are currently populating the Task Window.  This is where we need to tell MQ2 which item in the list of items we want to work with.  This particular code is targeting a Quest whose name Starts with the text QFI: Purge.  It also tells MQ2 what index to start it's search at. The reason 2 is the index is because the index for the data type List starts at 1 as opposed to the normal zero based index and the first index is the letter Q, if you look in your task window you can confirm this.  So index 2 is where the text I want to tell MQ2 to match starts.

You then use the /notify command for MQ2 to click the task.  You need to tell it which window to work with so again, after the /notify command I tell it to use the TaskWnd and child TASK_TaskList then use the command listselect to select the list item from the TLO window.  It's the same code as the previous code use in the /if conditional check.  So the whole line of code reads:

If there exists a quest/task in the TLO Window named TaskWnd with child element TASK_TaskList that matches QFI:Purge, THEN use the notify command on the Window named TaskWnd on the child element TASK_TaskList and select the element of the list data type with text matching QFI:Purge.

This will make the character select the quest on their task window if it's found.  To clarify why I'm using the /if conditional to check before actually clicking on the quest itself, I do this because I want to make sure the quest is actually in the character's window before trying to execute the code to select it.  This particular code is what I use to /bca to all my toons for them to echo back to me on line 3 with the count of how many mobs they have killed out of how many are needed to finish the quest.  But you could omit that part and just tell them to tell the toon to port them or whatever it is you're trying to do.  I'd suggest first making sure the Task Window is open for MQ2 to manipulate though at first, you can use the alt+q keypress of the DoOpen method of the Window TLO to make sure it's open.

The code for that hotkey would look something like :

Line 1: /bca target TargetName
Line 2: /if (!${Window[TaskWnd].Open}) /keypress alt+q
Line 3: /if (${Window[YourWindow].Child[YourChildElement].List[YourTaskName,2]}) /notify YourWindow YourChildElement listselect ${Window[YourWindow].Child[YourChildElement].List[YourTaskName,2]}
Line 4: /bca hail (or whatever you do/say to get into the zone)

That's the quick and dirty and I'm sure confusing answer to your request.  If you run into any issues don't hesitate to ask either in a reply here or in game to Dimurwar and I'll try to help you get it set up the way you want it.  There are a few other pieces of code that might help your playstyle here > http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?topic=5513.0

Wow! Thanks for all that Dimur! That will give me something to work on.

Dimur sux, don't get into his van

Because I suck is the exact reason yo DO get in the van.

I like candy.

I've been reading the class forums as well as suggested group builds. One build  had zerker and shaman as  2 of the bottom 3 in the group. With what I've been reading, slow doesn't work past dulak? And berserkers seem to be a last choice. The posts I've read were from 2011ish. Have these 2 classes  received love to make them work or would I better served with a cleric and another dps?
Current  War, Pal, Monk, Rog, Berz, Sham

Reading the wiki, the dmg buffs are good. Is that  enough reason to have 1 in my group?

So as I was leveling last night, my group hit 55. Upon leveling up, those with auras kept casting them or trying to cast Nonstop. I'm assuming this is a macroquest thing. Has anybody else encountered this and how did  you  fix it? I was trying to turn off /twist in game but it did not stop it.

 The constant casting  makes the game unplayable because no other commands work when the casting bar is up... camp didn't even work as the toon would stand during the camp to cast, negating the camp... had to /q all except rogue and shaman.

sounds like the macro is trying to cast the wrong level of spell.

best example i can think of is the ring of ages macro that will keep the ring buff on you, well, when you level up the ring that spell level changes. the macro is trying to cast say level 3 and the ring is now level 4 so it can't find the spell to cast and thus the macro goes through the script and hits repeat at the end in a matter of a second. thus spam attempts.

so to fix it, if this is the issue, look at the macro and the spells being cast for that toon and check the levels and make sure they match up with the spell level you are currently using.

if that's not it. /shrug

Ok, I'll check that. Thanks.

I renamed E3 and the spamming stopped

This is what it looks like.

Last night I think it was Dimur who said he didn't think Auras actually did anything in game. I've been going through the E3 Inis but don't really know where to start.  If they don't do anything, is there something I can do to disable them entirely?










edit: had to post before done.. screaming child

I was going over trying to get this working and made the warrior .inc file in the 3e macro not load, and the spamming stopped. I'd like to get to the source of the problem but this is a temp fix. Am I going to be missing anything important if I leave those inaccessible?

Not sure what the E3 macros are
I have heard of them but never looked at or researched

If it makes your boxes auto attack / heal / cast spells etc.
It probably isn't allowed
Players has to control the actions of all boxes

If I'm wrong then all good, but just my 2c

Red

I'm not sure either. It was bundled with mq rof3.

If all it does is automate,  then having it disabled should have no effect.




Add: reading on eqtitan it looks like it does automate, so I can remove that with no issues. Good to know.

Another question on a different subject: crafter's guild quest. Do I eventually need it for all chars or is 1 enough to make augs  for everyone?

no, just one you can trade the finished augs. the components are no drop in the guild from the merchant there, but once you make it you can give to your bots

Yep, no need for the strike augs
but "eventually" you will need to do for toons you want to put a UW on

Thanks Guys!

Another one I thought of today, how often do ez credits go on sale? And the waypoint reward*free instances* is... 100 ez creds? (Budgeting for new house/new kid/new job)

The EZ credits are usually on a double ratio during EZ events (US holidays).

Thanks Sarthin.


I like your sig... common sense is an oxymoron.. if it was common everyone would have it.

New question!  Play time needed?

So, I just got a new job working  55 - 60 hours a week, so my play time will be limited for... years?

Is an hour - 90 minutes a night enough to get things done like all the tiers past lvl 70? Or does the server require more play time to get things accomplished?

I imagine I'd be doing instances a lot more just to have a personal space to work.

Most tiers you could get through with only 60 minutes of playtime, but t5 will be an issue for sure. I think some of the others will be too.

Ok, so those tiers would be good for a weekend thing. Good yo know that I can keep playing for a bit.

Thank you

Edit: I should ask. Do they need to be done in 1 sitting or can the bosses / kill quests be done over multiple days/week's

T5 Bosses can be done in days/weeks/years.

As long as you have the quest on your toon, you are good to go.

Fantastic! I was happy to find this server  happy to get the new job and sad to think I had to be responsible and not play something I've loved since 1999... my salty tears of anguish have now become a salted caramel iced cap from tim hortons.

Thanks

Also, regarding instances. Is there a difference in item drops (Quality / quantity) for going with raid over guild over solo ? Like on the live servers, Raid gear vs Grouped gear

Except you need to have enough time to clear all of t5 for White

Incorrect only need time to kill all the Coral

Gear is progression based.

Thanks.

I was just coming to erase the question about instances,  had a chance to ask dimur in game.

About how long is needed to clear the coral?

Incorrect, I was referring to Boss quest and not killing corals.

I tend to just slaughter everything then go kill the corals afterwards, so it seems I forgot about that.

When you get to T5 (our server's gut check tier) the first few clears will take a while. When you start to fill out pieces of gear for your tank and bots it starts to get easier and easier.

I can't remember the time, but I'm gonna stab at the dark and say 2 hour'ish to clear all mobs in T5 on your first runs.

Completing T5, yeah, that's the hair pulling out part. could be weeks, could be days, you could quit over it /shrug

I think plugging away at progression hour a night, weekend gaming is perfect for this server. That is one of the great things about our server, you can pick up and go or leave for whatever amount of time you need in RL. Come back when you can, it truly is at your own pace here.

Excellent, Thanks Rent!

New question, With the double donation on for labour day, What currency are they in? CAD, USD etc?

1 usd = 1 credit normally so 1 usd = 2 credits atm

Thanks Watch!

With the Halloween events upon us,  I was looking at the token rewards. Dimur said that the main ones taken are the IG and the 100 token one. (Forget the name). Is the kill quests in the garden the only way to make the tokens? Is there an efficient way to make them?

I haven't finished any yet, but from the description the reward is 1 token? Thats 125 quests to do.

Is it something that will take a couple Halloween events?

You get tokens upon killing bosses as well. Plus the candies that are specific to that Halloween event can be turned in for a chance at token. Ask someone else for which candies you can hand in because I do not remember
