Just get good trio groups and own heroics.

Duppin · 07-25-2007, 01:10 AM

Warlock, or Inquisitor?

Kez · 07-25-2007, 01:36 AM

Lol, I suck at picking a class. I think I've gone through about 10 different characters/classes, and thats probably a low estimate. I know I want to have a healer for one of my characters and I like melee healers, so I'm gonna try an Inquisitor. I've also got a Fury that I like so far. On the melee side, I've got a Brigand up to 10 and an Assassin sitting in the wings. I need to wander around Kethelin & get my bearings so I can do some quests with my baby Berserker, and then if I want to wiggle my fingers & watch stuff die, I've got a Necro & an Illusionist that I'm thinking about. So yeah, I have no clue what I really want to focus on yet.

I wish the damn game would stop crashing with the memory fault error all the freaking time in Kelethin, Neriak and certain areas of Darklight Woods.

I see that there's a fix in the works and I thought it was just limited to me and using Vista 64, but my buddy who is on regular XP crashes at the exact same time I do...

How did this ever get past quality assurance?

Rezz · 07-25-2007, 05:49 AM

Yeah, the random crashes in neriak and darklight are pretty lame. I've taken to walking slowly whenever I'm coming across bridges and cresting ridges. My PC is pretty damn good, e6600/8800gts and 2 gigs of ram, and I hate having to reboot the thing because it locks up randomly in EQ2. Not even VG had that bad of a crash bug hah.

Incidentally, I rolled on AB as a DE Sk named Krane. Because some fucker already has Rezz =/

Kuriin · 07-25-2007, 07:29 AM

Hurry up and pick a damned class, Kezzz.

It's still a bit rough finding groups at 23.

gersrfc · 07-25-2007, 09:07 AM

Anyone 3 box? I got a 44 Inquis that I have on AB and was thinking about boxing a Zerker and a Dirge. More then likely I will have the dirge on auto pilot anyone think the zerker and the inquis will be able to drop heroic mobs?

Ham n Cheese · 07-25-2007, 09:07 AM

I switched again, about 3 times yesterday. Going back with Illusionist, partially in fact because I am not confident of getting groups. I really wanted to go melee though since weapons seem to be the only piece of equipment that truly matters in eq2

It only happens to me after long playing session and If I go back to Neriak, Neriak has a bad mem leak.

Kuriin · 07-25-2007, 09:24 AM

Bruisers are really nice when it comes to melee.

Digits · 07-25-2007, 10:37 AM

Not caring a single whit about power or soloability or groupability, what is a more fun class: illusionist or coercer? I tried out a coercer until 10 and while I enjoyed it I was more or less rolling my eyes at the randomness of charm. Furthermore I read up on the class boards and saw that all the good mobs are uncharmable, even in solo content, and that Coercers just weren't as fun as their counterpart. Any informed opinions to help me out? I don't want to spam shit endlessly without thought so that rules out all other scout/caster classes, and I don't want to be a tank and I'm tired of being a healer.

Aside from that I have to admit that EQ2 can do quests very well, specifically the betrayal lines. The Neriak line involves you getting caught up in the power struggle between the Queen of Neriak and the priests of Innoruuk siding with the priests. You spy on the Queen but get caught and are then exiled from the city. It's a stupid fucking idea to do that at level 10, but it is cool. I also liked how they've actually set up 6, soon to be 7, player factions that revolve around your choices and preferences. Anything that gives gravity to your choices is a good thing in an mmo, and it's something that WoW made me completely forget about.

Not sure whats up with that, I haven't crashed once over the last 3 months play the game off and on. I'm always in Neriak/Gfay areas. I'm running XP Pro atm though.

ajiatus · 07-25-2007, 10:55 AM

Some players say it's a problem with NVidia cards, and may be fixed by a future driver. It mostly happens in Neriak, in the crafting area, with the textures on the highest setting.

Kuriin · 07-25-2007, 11:49 AM

I run on nVidia cards and this problem hasn't happened to me. Hopefully, it won't, lol.

Newer cards? I have a 7900GTX and I've never had a single crash, although if it's a newer card I could see that. I know there's some problems with a few games on the newer 8000+ cards (drivers 99% of the time are the problem with these cards it seems).

/not related: Although, I have had to relog frequently because of that damn combat music.
