I love the robe look on a monk!

Viewport commands only affect the stress on the GPU or the system overall? CPU/ram/etc?

Another note, you can also write your alias commands directly into your MQ2.ini file...there is a section in the ini that is called [Aliases] and lists any that you currently have set up and allows you to add or remove ones from there.  If you edit your alias commands through the ini file though, you have to zone for it to reload the ini file and update.

No clue what alias commands are...I just put the /viewport 1111 and /viewport reset commands on each toon to the (-) and (=) slots and turn them off that way....gonna try, once I get my necro into T7, to run all 18+ clients and see if they still bog down in T7....since I dont have the cash atm for the SSD drive and the i7-3770k processor upgrades.

hmmm wonder if you could make a hotkey for /viewport reset and assign it to say key (=).....that way if you needed to see on that client you could just hit that hotkey...heck maybe put it on - for /viewport 1 1 1 1 and = for /viewport reset.......I thought it automatically took the blackened screen up if you brought that client to the forefront.

We should all just face the facts, not even Akka can unfuck what Hate did to this zone. Can we just get a new T10? I'm even fine with taking away the full set of t10 armor I got for my 15 toons.

I'd be happy with just the lag being taken out. The lag in there now is way worst than when I first entered the zone about 9 months ago. Well the pathing sucks, plagueborn's suck, the mini that only allows 6 in sucks.

Pass on removing items.   I think you can reduce lag by turning labels off on map if you have not already.   Akkadius did fix lag issues awhile back and it did seem to help. 

Do not envy anyone inheriting that cluster code.

Another way to reduce lag is to /bca //viewport 1 1 1 1

It was posted in another thread and seems to work well.

I have viewport 1 1 1 1 doesn't work. On the toons running that their screen stays black after you select that character's EQ icon on the taskbar.

Yes,  that is the expected result.  You can reset with /viewport reset

I thought it was suppose to have the screen un-blacken whenever you opened each individual client....

Blarr's post:

What it does:
-Issues the /viewport 1 1 1 1 command on background clients and issues /viewport reset on foreground client as necessary. This saves a lot of GPU work if you're running multiple clients and shouldn't effect your gameplay at all.

-Closes the raid, inventory, and map window on background clients if they are open, and reopens them if they return to the foreground client. This cuts down on CPU load tremendously if these windows are left open in the background (especially map).

I think we could revisit spawn rates and ToFS essence drop rates as well. Been in ToFS for 2 days and havent seen Tserrina once....well i did see her today in pub, but someone else spawned her.

If you ever need to explain to anyone under 30 why MTV was once great...

Look no futher.

Headbangers Ball is what made Mtv great.....that song and video blows!

Agree maybe plagues 200 or so. I don't actually think the armor kill counts are too high I just think its complete bs that you triple your kill counts if you want different armor for different toons. Makes zero sense to deck toons in other gear as is.

It does makes no sense to me either...I did all my toons in orc gear. With what the mobs hit for they need every ounce of hitpoints they can get....when the other armor sets have the same hitpoints or less than your previous tier set (t9) and you are not moving the hitpoint scale in a favorable position......it is stupid. That's why i brought up being able to do all armor sets to make a better armor type......if you wanna do it, you can. if you don't wanna do it, just wait for t11....

I don't know about 150...maybe 200....heck I am at 360ish and have been finished with armors for a long while. 300 wouldnt be too far of a stretch...as far as juggs, that's just laughable, shoulda been in t10 before they were nerfed! I disagree with reducing kill counts for armor as well.  If you reduce the kill count by 80% you wont even be close to your PB count (if it were changed to 150) I had just over 100 PB kills after I finished armors on all 12 toons.....would just find people complaining about something else down the road. 

[Would you like to see an alternative entirely to T10? What would that challenge look like to you (Again, a previous tier style? Dungeon crawl?)]

Akka will get to it when he can...he is only one person...and last i heard he had a death in his family...which kinda takes precedence over EZ....I know that is asking a lot but sometimes (and by that i mean rarely) RL trumps EZ.....other than that T10 has been up for almost a year now and Akka has worked on it to make it more playable....he is asking folks feedback on the zone....

Hey all!

First, life couldn't have been more busy for me in the past few months so giving proper time to things has been limited. I've had many life changes to work through.

There are a handful of things that I have had planned for projects, many of them EQEmu/EZ related.

Rent has been graciously cooking awesome things behind the scenes and he has been very helpful over the past few months. He's done amazing work, and I've been impressed with how much he has helped the server.

This community has always been strong in expressing views and ideas, and I would like to make an open invitation to everyone reading this to express what they would really like to see on the server content wise.

I realize there are some things in other threads that need attention but I still have the following questions for you all.

Get into these thoughts and express what excites you about playing, but please refrain from getting too carried away and derailing this thread.

Ask yourself what small things could be done, that could better the quality of life of an everyday player.

What things have been broken for a long time that could use some TLC.

If a new tier were to be built, what would you want it to look like? What style of content? Would you want it to be T5 style, or even mimic the content structure of live's mission grinding for credits, doing dungeon crawls. What did you like about previous tiers?

What are things that are absolutely dreadfully annoying about existing content that is beyond reason (not talking about grinds, but feature creep)

Would you like to see an alternative entirely to T10? What would that challenge look like to you (Again, a previous tier style? Dungeon crawl?)

What do you like about gear progression upgrades and what would you like to see more of.

Some of you long standing veterans with tons of ideas and have played this server forever should have a fresh idea of what has really motivated them and what they have had FUN with.

I'm interested to hear your guys' thoughts.

Go!

Why bounce to nexus instead of just going straight to the next instance?

Try it both ways.  Find what works best for you.

...and that, my friends, is the rest of the story....of Maslow's sex life.

You can go offensive or defensive on pallies now...hand aug back to epic vendor for the other.

i think if we just have a similar zone to ToFs for v2/v3 upgrade backfarming it would be the tits.

I can see v3....v2 is so frigging easy...and any alternate zone should be MUCH harder than the regular farm zone...just like how ToFS is harder than LDoN.

I may get flamed a bit, but I would love to see the Ultimate charm become a bit more streamlined.  I think initially, and like other items they were made to be a reward for grinding and spending a lot of time.  Something only the most dedicated and bored would achieve.  Now they are mostly required to progress.

Maybe have one each tier, make the requirements for the existing ones lower, and scale out the stats.  In the end it may take longer since there would be a quest each tier, and current charms wouldn't change, just maybe the name of the charm.  This would also make future tiers easier to balance.

Just my 2cp

This was done with ToFS....people have suggested something similar for UCv3 with ToV scales....so good idea...just gotta wait to see if this is eventually done.
