I suggest reading the wiki to catch up, it is very well written. You've been gone over 5 years? Your sk is so far behind you may as well re-roll. It's not like he has a high Ultimate weapon and Earring of the ages, after all. If you don't know what those are, they are the gold standard to dps here.
You always needed at least one warrior here. Sure, there were people that made groups happen with an sk, but those guys were going way against the flow just to do it, and ever since warriors started getting serious mitigation on their epics that was way out of vogue.
You will learn alot about how the server works now rolling a war. You should already have a couple palis to help out also and then some dps. You need a solid group to succeed here, and you want to get your Ultimate weapon started on your war as soon as you can.
If you truly wish to play here and enjoy the server, roll that warrior and start climbing up. You will find that people are as helpful as ever here, and the Wiki is a godsend for all info you could possibly need. Under Akkas leadership, this server has basically newly been reborn in my opinion. He listens to the community, is dilligent on fixing bugs and is moving forward on content and completely fixed the most broken Tier we have ever had, T10.
You have alot of good times to look forward to. The fun is in the journey, don't be in a huge rush to skip forward.

I first posted this idea on an entirely new thread. Let's start a new EZ server rolled back to T9 and without higher Halloween pets (no mitigation and limited hp/damage boost,) UWs, Shield of the Ages or EoA implemented. No exp boost items either, or gift options for xp boost. The donation items could be added as the server progresses, only to ease adoption for newer players and for things like group lev, shrink, pets etc. Free waypoints could require a minimum donation like $25 early adoption rate which would be an immediate boost to funds as 100 people would pay this gladly, and this could double after that. That's $2,500 right off the bat to pay infrastructure expenses (anymore than this would bring in diminished returns more than likely.) This server could easily handle two instances of eqemu at once, and I bet that we would find the new server would outpace the old in terms of active players and would eventually replace it. Don't roll back this server, that's a fucked up thing to do to people that have toughed it out. Just start a concurrent one.
I feel that now is the right time to do this as the interest in this server is waning more and more. The weak Halloween event did not help matters. This would also give time to fix or redo T10.
Really if I were to do this also I would reduce all the stats. I feel this is a big hinderance in making new content as the numbers in ez are beyond ridiculous. A good start would be to divide damage and hp stats serverwide by 10. instead of rocking 10m hp, we should be at 1m. This would be an immediate improvement across the board and would be the easiest to carry out in order to avoid long term delays in starting the new server.
Overtime we could also adjust the screwy mitigation percentages and crazy ass haste boosts which render weapon delays irrelevant.
As far as additional content, I feel like more and more we have tried to reinvent the wheel instead of just using the quests and zone structures already in place in the game. There is nearly an unlimited amount of material in this game, tweak the zone and it is new content. We could be raiding Karanors or Kurns or Blackburrow or Dragon Necropolis or a million other zones at high level.
I once loved EZ server, it was my game of choice and really felt like I was accomplishing something here. I always helped others, just as I was helped from time to time by higher levels. I want to feel that again, and if that makes me, to paraphrase one person's blunt criticism, a washed up has been wishing to relive my former days of glory on EZserver, then so be it. Although that's a bit much, considering I never was and never wanted to be the best, I just wanted to be somewhere in the top 30% or so of players. I have always been the guy who was the first to congratulate others on their accomplishments and never bragged about my own, though it was always nice to say, "I finally made it!" as I finally reached a goal, and to see my fellow guildies woop.

General Category / General Discussion / Would it be possible to have a reset version of EZ?
|

When I think of all the good times I had on EZ, it makes me want to come back and play again. So, I re-setup the new pc build with appropriate partitions, I renew my subscribtion to isboxer, I spend hours to get the format just right and hotkeys setup, then I fire up my accounts. It doesn't take long to remember again why I quit ez server...the ridiculous high end grinds that are no fun, only to get a bit stronger...for what? I have done this many times in the past few years and I realized what I really wanted. I wanted to start here all over again from scratch. As I leveled up a new set of toons, it was fun but didn't take long to be unfulfilling... I mean, who can you brag to about finally making it through a new zone, when everyone here is T10? Then it hit me what would bring back old friends and new alike to experience all the content we have long forgotten about once again.
Going through the content would be just part of the fun, as we will have to band together again to break into zones as we go... and just imagine actually helping people again in the lower tiers once you get your 3.0 epics? Not just rofl stomping with T10 gear, but actually having fun along side lower tier players?
How about we have a seperate New EZ server, where everyone starts out from scratch again? You could run it on the same hardware, just have two instances...the numbers of people logged in would go up due to the new server, but the old servers numbers for now would be close to 0, and this would also buy plenty of time to develope new content as we work our way up on the new server. You could eventually use the current server as a kind of test realm for new content, then shift it over to the new server as bugs are worked out.
Just a thought. This would be the best days of EQ all over again, and would generate a lot of new interest and people that are loath to start from scratch on an established server. If you agree, add your comments and let's generate some interest in this. Thanks for your time.

Ditto to that! Ty Hate and everyone beta testing this zone! To keep at it despite the frustration is the only way these problems will be found and fixed. Ty especially Kruciel as noted, who I have come to realize knows more about the game in its current form than anyone else I know besides Akadius and Hate.

Dunno if you've done this, I would guess you may have after talking to Microsoft. But what I did to get win 10 was install win7 x64 ( prolly works same for x32 but you would have ram restrictions,) activate and installed drivers for everything. Dloaded drivers for win10 and put on seperate partition or thumb drive ( your lan driver is most importaint for this, but I would do all mobo and video drivers too.) Then go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10Dload the tool (x64 for me) Let it download, then click it open and it will lead you through the upgrade. If you do it any other way it will not upgrade for free, from what I found.

It's really not that big of a deal right now, and yes there are other issues. I agree. But it probably would be an easy fix and it is that time of year right now when we are getting this pet. Seemed to be a logical time to say something about it, again, after putting 5 days now into getting one.

It's true. I am retarded... and I'm not worth it. You are angry and pissed off and giving it to me good.
But the pet though, it should stack with vt2.

Your counter argument to every valid point I made is not logical. Yes, it's an easy fix stacking buffs, as I understand it. Every buff we have here has been through this in order to stack properly. Condensing the buffs we get from the pets/buff bot probably was much harder than making two spells stack.
Taking the ballidet comment out of context? Pretty plain text there he's saying new players are trying to get end game content easy. I'm no new player and not trying to get anything easy. 12-month kick in the nuts? How is this any different than any other event or special item? And who's going to miss out on it? The tiny number of new players during the year? I would bet most new players come to the server around Halloween because they've heard of the event. It gives people something to look forward to. Angry pet is hardly game breaking. If it really is that much damage increase that could be lowered then made to stack with the vt2, perhaps... This would be a more appropriate response to this idea.
Your Mof comment... wtf? Again ... what does this have to do with angry pet?? How is a bit more damage on a single target breaking the server? The item was intended to add damage in exchange for mitigation loss. I'm just pointing out the lack of stacking, which is something that was likely just overlooked.
When the hell did I say I was "angry?" And wtf are you talking about, haven't logged on since halloween 2014? I have been off and on Ezserver and read the boards from time to time, I don't comment alot.
By negative I meant that you are opposed to fixing an item that is giving no real world benefit due to the stacking issue. You took that out of context...then you attacked me like a child.
If Hate doesn't want this item to work, then why put it in the game. I was simply pointing out that for this to be useful, it needs to stack otherwise there is no reason at all to own the top pet.

BAlidet, Im T9 with a full crew and been playing since beta. Want it to fast? What? You cant get angry unless you play halloween in top tier, I have tried in all levels of the zone and you get crap diablo spawns at lower level.
As for the argument that we shouldn't fix this because lower tier pets... that everyone has are powerful... that doesn't even make sense. This is the top pet and should work, that's all I'm asking for. No nerfs, nothing not intended.
As for the argument that your group performance shouldn't depend on pets... this is a slight boost to damage, the pets that increase mit have FAR more effect on this game and everyone on right now can have one, we are oocing them for free.
Your point that we shouldn't make the simple fix this would take to make it stack with existing spells because we have other problems also has no bearing on this whatsoever.
I just ask that it work as intended and offer more damage for less mitigation.
Hate, I appreciate all you do and I know that you will do what it takes to make this right with everyone, you've already stated this. I have faith in this.
It's really curious to me why anyone would say anything negative about enabling the pet buff to stack, just like every other pet buff does and as intended for being the top tier pet and hard to get as it is. This is a one time yearly event and we should have something to show for literally days of work put into getting one just like every other year.

Right, because it is that common and people can trade it to their zerk toons, and it would make sense to nerf an item instead of balancing a class that is taking over the server.
It's non tradable, they don't drop in numbers, and I'm pretty sure as the top pet in the game it was designed to be useful. If you have an issue with zerks taking over the game, it would make sense to balance them.
The intended use of the buff is to increase damage in exchange for mitigation. It not stacking with VT2 is not a nerf for zerkers, it's just the fact that one can't foresee all interactions of items in this game and the mods have to have feedback on them.

AF should stack with VT2. Not stacking with this and the negative mitigation pretty much makes it useless. Just found this out today, after spending 4 days trying to get one.
