Ban him.

Seriously, if you offended someone enough that they are posting on a forum, move to a different server, this one isnt for you.

It is still EQ people. Get used to camping shit for hours. Agree with 100k instances on crown and FBR. Just make a few new custom quest zones like Velk where it is fairly easy to farm plat to buy your instances. Don't you remember how to farm shit anymore? Pussies...

The issue is when these quests were introduced there as less than 150 players on the server.
The quests themselves were never intended to be time sinks like they are today.

I all for the time sink if its not due to population, thats entirely different, right now all the issues is a result of the population, not the items or the quests themselves.

Used to be able to do the FG or CG in a day or two, you would be lucky to get a FBE or Crown "CAMP" let alone the item within that time period now.

Not complaining about the instances.

To my point on the 3.5's being crap, look at the war's, although I havent got the time to look at them all.



DMG is about right but once you factor in the extra aug slot, the DMG in the 3.5 should be closer to 125
DLY is about right.
HP is a joke. 3.5 should be closer to 5000
AC is about right
Regen is about right.

2x4.0's on a warrior is a massive 25k HP increase over the 3.0's
2x3.5's on a warrior is a laughable 500hp increase  

I can only assume that the rest of the 3.5's and 4.0 are similarly progressed.

Lets put it this way.

If we didnt have 4.0's in the game right now and hunter said "Hey guys, I made the 3.5's, here they are". I seriously doubt we would see such gimp items, keeping in mind what level of stats the 4.0's are to have.

the stats are fine on 3.5 imho- the proc/clickies are the same as 3.0's tho.  I think it's alright tbh
It's more of a stepping stone towards 4.0, which is and has been achievable with nothing but 3.0 toons.

What im saying is the 3.5 being a stepping stone is a time sink.
If you had a choice, gear up all your toons and skip 3.5 and hit the 4.0's you likely would.
If you have 2-3 groups to gear up for 3.5's the timesink is insane, and the rewards are hardly worth the effort.

Can we look at making the 3.5's even worth the effort to obtain?
The % of statistic increase from 3.0 to 3.5 to 4.0 is greatly off.

Items like earing on 1hr spawn or begurgle on random spawn arent feasible for 100k instances.
You can camp both items for 8 hours and come out with one, possibly 2, hardly enough to make 100k instances, let alone the 8 hour camp worth while.

What?

Nothing funnier than the "Hunter you online, send me a tell!" in ooc all the time LOL

Actually, this maybe a good idea pre-t2/3 but no way would it balance the SK to the pally usefullness beyond t2, not because its not a bad idea, just because of the limitations of the CG pet.

Actually its a good idea.
Since the pally was recently revamped this seems like an interesting improvement to at least balance to the paladin.

Google autoruns.  Put into folder, run the exe and go to the logon tab.

Pretty simple rule that is impossible to confuse.

NO NINJA LOOTING
Don't loot mobs that don't belong to you unless the person/group that killed it gave you permission.

Im not so much ranting as I am trying to see if anyone else is in the same boat.

Farm hoh, obtains however many stones.
Zone groups into poair.
Spawn boss and lag spike death or zone crashes?

50% of the time when I spawn a boss with 400+ online the zone crashes.
Sure, the stones are easy enough to replace etc, but, its the time to get the toons positioned buffed and crap.

Anyone else?
