New EQI "Progression Server" - Page 2

RandomChanter · 04-07-2006, 12:37 AM

Classic + Kunark + Velious + nothing else -ever- unlockable server plx.

Unless they were to develop expansions solely for this server without such a drastic rise in mob hp/player damage.

Haha, right, I kill myself sometimes.

Downtime will lead to some sort of combat state system so that the EQ system knows players are out of combat and will up the reneration to compensate. This poses problems when players can leave combat, regen, and enter it again when they weren't intended. It's a complicated issue but SOE plans to focus their attention on it.

Only about two years late, chaps.

Jesus no. That was honestly the only thing holding me back from playing again. I will have endless fun soloing old dungeons now that I dont have a 15-20 min downtime between fights.

I dont really know why it would be hard to implement though. Here I'll do it for them: If the player is on a mobs hate list, no super regen, else, super regen. Send me the check in the mail, kthx.

I'd consider going for this, but being honest I'm spoiled. There's no way I could put up with things like downtime in the way EQ1 was. A lot of things like that. If they eliminated that kinda stuff and left us with that same content I just might consider it...

90,000 Dervish Rings
60,000 Serpentine Bracers
50,000 Fire Beetle Eyes
40,000 Fine Steel Long Swords
30,000 Minotaur Battle Axes
15,000 Dwarvish Work Boots
10,000 Elven Chain Mail Tunics

Also the top end guild will need to slay Borxx and forge the mighty Observers Staff.

That schould be enough to equip the armies of FV and OT to make their voyage to RoK and unlock it!

The whole thing seems like it could be a good idea but I'd need old school Ykesha graphics, Mana Stones and all/all inventory Guises to truely consider it.

Hopefully this finally breaks the EQ nostalgia bubble.

Fanfaire Report

Everyone will start with access to the new ui, the lfg tool, and some other things, but most of the features that came with expansions need to be unlocked. It is also a "no transfer" server, so people need to start from scratch.

I will be interested to see what people think.

Wow, just wow - I would have never thought this would have EVER came - this seriously isn't an April Fool's joke?

Dammit, I really can't play EQ1 anymore (something about the graphics hurts my eyes now - and yea, I know there's no sensible reason - might just be psychological) but this is really, really tempting if I can hunt up alot of my old friends to do something with....

If only it was 2 years ago this wouldn't be such a hard decision to make if it proves true.

I'd love code like that for my SK.

I would love for the uberguilds to cockblock anyone from unlocking any expansion past Velious.

Cybsled · 04-07-2006, 05:33 AM

Wonder how they will factor in that shitty armor-dye expansion? It's all noob content.

"Emperor Crush has been slain. Legacy of Ykesha is now available for play!"

Itzena · 04-07-2006, 05:43 AM

Hmm...good point. I wonder how TS recipies will be limited?
Heh, cultural armour for all!

Aethn Anvel · 04-07-2006, 05:51 AM

Wont matter. Progression server will be exactly like every other live server in 6 months. Players are way to MMO educated now, they will rush to unlock and the server will only be unique for 6 months.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you even play EQ?
