Just figured I would share...because someone was kind enough to share with me one day long ..long...ago...

Find the [Captions] section in your MacroQuest.ini, replace with the code below. After you restart MQ and ALL clients, it will permanently show titles for peoples.

Code:

Pets could use a boost if you look at them alone sure..  but when you combine them with the nukeing power of the caster and the buffs they provide...I think casters have a place in any group..

I run a chanter, wizzy, nero, mage, druid, and shaman in my regular group and they all provide a huge benefit...


I really dont see this as a burning issue when you look at casters in the whole picture... but as always i reserve the right to be wrong

so the way you suggest that makes t10 doable it to team up and be afk for updates ....that....is not what i would want to do.... why even bother...   I think they way you did this points out just how borked this zone is.... 24  raid teams... no thank you

Hurty....you are using MY multiple periods...it's my style......kinda like David Lee Roth stealing Steven Tyler's scarf-on-the-mic-stand deal back in the 80's...............

................w..............h............a...........t do you mean?

I will work on it....

sorry...

damn it..

let us not forget the wizard ae in t10 as well....big boom... my biggest problem is keeping my mage/chanter/wizzy/druid from going oom.....all have max necks and in some fights I have to click them a few times....

you did a great job completing this...let me ask you something... was it fun? was it worth it? I think the 3 month time frame is a little restrictive as well... I have banged away at this for more than 3 months and am just getting armor done...so like...an insane player that plays 8 hours a day every day...sure....but how many can do this?


I am not afraid of a little work,  I would also like it to be fun and rewarding...doing quests that end in NO reward is ..well..sad and if you don't really enjoy doing it...the big question is why?

The big problem I see with t10 is by the time you finish the armor quests and have the power you have nothing to do with it.... there is limited reward in rerunning this zone..no GSOA....limited XP shards......cash loot is mostly meh at best....so why would you want to run past the armor quest? for essence?   

OK!


prepare your brain... I have thoughts to share....



t10.....holy shit....t10....


I have some ideas....


When you first zone into t10 you hail the gnomly and he has you pick one of 3 factions.... you chose what factions you want for armor and hail and set them for each toon....

pretty much everything after that I would change...


Faction quest..

holy fing shit why do we have to Hail and reset the faction quest after each set of 750? cant we just gain faction and as it progresses we get access to more armor? I can't fully tell you how annoying it is to have to stop slaying and go reset yer damn quest ... just let us kill....and base it off our faction and not some crappy little quest that gives us GLS? like really? fill my alts up with gls ....so handy....how about 1 sls....for 750 kills ? that probably wont dirupt the economy on the server? or nothing...no quest....just faction like t9....that seems like ok to me...

So no more little faction quests... we can just kill....sweet....all day...for weeks....and weeks...you know what...thats fine!...great!

100 weapon fragments quest.... this kind of sucks...but its totally doable.....takes up bag space like mad but whatever...going to take years to get all thetoons done...but whatever...right?  I would like to see like..raid wide credit for turning these in.....so we dont have to farm 1200 freaking rare drop weapons...thats TOO much grind...IMHO....way to much....just finish on my main guy and like...everyone is armored up mostly now...this will take YEARS to finish on all my toons...years.......YEARS... 

Its no good...

Plaugeborn...holy fucking shit....this is probably where I should have started...1000 is stupid ....100 is good....make it 100 please.... thank you! I swear the 1000 must have been a typo... full armor on tanks and i have exactly 50 done....like....wtf...again....this will take years for hardcore players..... 1 year for insane players....not fun.....not...fun...100 is alot....100 is better...

Kidney quest.... holy shit...I dont know what i get for this but its going to take like...um...years...I am like 1/30 and ...yea....this one might be ok actually since i dont know the end result and if its not going to stop progression I am down with a rare quest...prolly a faction quest and i will slit my wrists at the end...

stolen goods... this one is fine....nothing to say...

vampire crap... yea seem to be fine...one again going to take years to finish for all my toons....and I don't see myself actually just trying to farm these in this zone....its boring to me...


qeynos and freeport exiles....ok..rare as shit damn shit..but whatever.....i did one on my main...did not seem to do anything...no reward....not awesome....some faction BS? I dunno..   I ran around hailing everyone and they all did not seem to give shit...maybe that will change when i get the other one done? fark i dunno i still need 2 more...someday maybe...


The zone in huge and has traps...traps can be bad...or good....depending if you live or die... buy hey....that's already been talked about.. so... Please consider moving the boss spawns...from one fixed extremely campable location....so that...people...can....like....you know..share...cause we suck at that....and its bad....if I need orc armor....and soemone else is in the zone....odds are I am fuxored.....and the wave of players has not arrived....yet....or I missed...it....not really sure..took a break....now I am once again solo in t10 most of the day....soo...no wave?...wave is over......not sure...Could killing the placeholder/trigger actually make the mob like....spawn...like...right on you.....so that I can farm orcs at camp 2 or...3......5.....whatever....and still get a fair shot at thunderpants?  might be fun...lets try it.

I have to go to the store now....I may have more to share....not sure....feedback?

I went from a 2.4 dual core pentium to a much better 8core AMD and from 4gb or ram to 16.... it was a world changer for me and my 12 toons.... i was able to play up to 18 toons with the old set up but man....its so smooth now...

t10 is doeable as it is...lets either erase it and start over...pissing off all of us who have ground the shit out of it....or move on and do something cool for t11...nerfing the shit out of it is just going to be a long annoying thing that know one is ever going to be happy with.

I am nearing the end of the armor grind on my main toon having done it 95% solo.... I have to say that in the future we should all put our heads together and come up with something reasonable that will challenge us..and not be such a horrible grind fest... I need like less than 200 more orcs to finish my bP and I dont really feel anything but....well...frustration with how will all of the accessories....and all the armor and buffs...its just a grind... and my alt toons? they are thousands of kills behind just from the constant dieing/rezzing that is part of this zone....I really dont know if I will even bother to finsh them all or what ....I am less than 100 plaugborne into my quest so that looks like it going to suck...and to what point really?

not trying to be debbie downer but...burnout is real

My pets tend to crit for (0) more than 25mil or 250mil lol...I will play around with my mage necro and chanter and see whats what.

I run MQ and EZ on its own 40gb SSD and it seems to really help with load speeds...

The entire point of this zone aside from the location of mobs underwater that are rooted....that hit really hard ... is to mentally prepare you for how t7/t8 work... you think its frustrating waiting a few days or a week for a rare to spawn? wait until you are on your 12th UC3 or you have cleared the legs mob 100 times in t8 and are stilling looking for paladin legs....


In live it was not unusual to camp something for weeks....just sitting..camping....killing the same 5 or 20 mobs over and over... for a rare item....now its like...dude...i been here for like hours...where is my shit?  I am sorry if you have killed boars for hours or days with no luck... it will spawn...hundreds have done it...


And I dont want to be that asshat talking down to people....thats bullshit as well.... you probably know all of this and played live for years like nearly all of us have...

I strongly feel that changing t5 is a mistake... its a key part to the server...but I dont think you are a moron if you disagree with me...have fun!

you only get token in the order of your raid....so the first group gets tokens until they are all full...this is not fair to the other people in the raid...

I would suggest makeing the named mobs spawn in random location....right now everyone wants to camp the orc camp...if you dont you get no armor....I have some toons right now that are lackign tokens for 5 peices.....because the cheap ass orc only gives out 1 or 2 tokens a kill.....so.....if EVERYONE in the zone needs thundernuttst then its going to be a mess....just fyi

People in t10 need to learn how to play nice again.... i have people pulling through my camp....running past me to snag a plaugborn (looking at you porkpie or whatever mage group) and just general jackassery because who gives a shit right? you dont need teamwork...
