1  General Category / General Discussion / Re: How soloable is ez server? on: September 02, 2011, 11:49:22 am
EZ is not solo friendly.  Is it fun?  Depends on your play style.  There are many friendly people who are happy to help newbies get past certain content; however, it's not solo friendly, and you'll always have to rely on other people.
If you're at all tempted to roll your own server, I would say that EZ is one of the essential experiences you need before attempting one of your own.  Trevious started here (and still posts here from time to time) before eventually rolling his own server (another of the essential experiences, Storm Haven).
(Even though I'm dabbling with the server code, I have no illusions that my attempts will be as fun as either of the two mentioned.  Also, just so that I don't leave anyone out, most of the preferred and legendary servers are essential experiences; almost everything is patterned off one of these.  A few of the new guys appear to be attempting some unique ideas; and only time will tell if any of us are patient enough to bring the ideas to life ;-)   )

no, you beat me to it by seconds, Xig.  When I hit reply yours wasn't on there yet ;-)

I feel like DPS would be damage produced per unit second.

1240 per tick at 1 tick per 6 seconds leads me to think the non-crit dps is 1240/6 for this song.  Thoughts?

if some of the items were changed to be no-rent combinations, then you could rent out armor.  players would then lose the armor when they log out.  you'd then have to make it cheap to make these no-rent items.

I'd still rather see class balancing before crafter's guild improvements =P
5  General Category / Suggestions / Class Balancing on: July 25, 2011, 04:18:21 pm
From reading the forums, I get the impression that some classes are intentionally useless (Druids, Shaman, Enchanters, Bards), some are way underpowered, and some are glitched (Zerker epic, from what I've been told).

1) Which classes do you all think are broken and why
2) How would you recommend this class be fixed
3) Realistically, will Hunter fix said class
4) (other useful information you think pertinent to a productive conversation)

I still think FF VI (US III) is the best RPG of all time, followed by Chrono Trigger.

On Live, my favorite expansion was SoD because it used the same kind of story idea as Chrono Trigger in that we have to fix a problem in time to prevent it from changing the present.

personally, I always just look for the DLL it tells you its missing and download that from a free website.  Just drop the file inside the eqgame folder, and problem solved (as far the DirectX issue)

this is why I'm always willing to be wrong ;-)

Thanks for the info.  Is there a list of what classes are fully supported by the Devs on this server?

Zerker if you want pure DPS

BST otherwise.  The reason a BST is a great add is the combination of slowing and DPS.  When the mobs hit less fast, your existing heals will keep up better.  You just have to remember to recast the slow spell onto your warder (less maintenance than a dedicated slower).

This is probably what I'm going to do for my 3rd
10  General Category / Cleric / Cleric or Pally for boxed healer? on: July 20, 2011, 12:02:06 pm
From what I gather, there are no cleric mains on this server.  I find this sad, because I loved playing a cleric main on live years ago.

Either way, if i recall, Pallys have the group heal proc and seem to be able to work well as both healer and dps for boxing the early levels (1-70).

Are Pally's always a good 2nd box or is there a point at which an SK should grab a Cleric for the 2nd box?

(Also, can you make it to endgame with just a 2 box or do you have to bump up the number of boxes?)

really?  I had not realized the server was built on the concept of under rewarding players.  In fact, nothing I've seen (except the FG/CG quests) seem to indicate this.
12  General Category / Quest and Guides / Re: Do FG/CG Quest is a lot like being George Bush looking for WMDs on: January 24, 2011, 04:43:39 pm
The only problem with that retort is that the FG quest is currently a test of "do I have hours to waste", where as the tiered armor and epics are a test skill and equipment.

not even approximately related objectives or rewards.

If I fight the same guy in the same spot for enough years, I ought to find the WMDs necessary to prove to the American people we're not stealing Iraqy oil....
- GW Bush and FG/CG Questers

Seriously, several hours in the same camp for the chance at the right spawn with the right item seems a little ridiculous.  Up the drop rate to 100% and let people get through these quests, dependent solely on one's ability to google it.

(For the record, I'm playing off the stereo type of President Bush.  I neither stand for nor against the man.  When you respond, please share your frustration with the hours of wasted time camping.)

Why not make them lead to incrementally more costly heroic stat boosts?

or else set priced power sources?
15  General Category / Suggestions / Re: SoF on: January 20, 2011, 06:04:33 pm
To the devs/owners of the server:

First, thank you for all of your hard work.  Despite my frustration at not being able to use certain zones, I appreciate everything I can see =)

Second, I posted something similar on Emu on this thread
http://eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32923

One of the developers has a few suggestions, on how to support the UF client from the server code.  He makes it sound like it's a trusted way to support multiple clients.

Thoughts?
