You guys got any further in PoW or PoE?

TownPillager · 02-26-2003, 11:43 AM

Have you gotten closer to completing the Coirnav ring event? What about the Rathe ring in PoE? Your last news update suggested it was impossible at its current state

.

Thanks for your time.

in less than a month at my current estimation.

Some people actually still believe those kind of news ?

What Furor means to say is that he took out the trusty Magic 8 Ball, gave it a good shake and discovered that ShadowBane is scheduled to go live on March 25.

Lets have a quick trip through the Way Back Machine and see who can remember what low hanging EQ fruit fell at the introduction of other new MMRPGs.

In any case, I'd second Furor's guestimate. Either someone will pull off a legit victory, or the encoutners will be retuned by Sony to make sure someone does, within a few days of SBs intro.

This one doesnt take Nostradomus to puzzle out.

I'm guessing that they will want PoT loot to be plasted all over the web by SB's release; If it were me running the show, I'd nerf the encounter no later then March 18th. Give guilds time to kill some named and post their loots.

If Shadowbane launches with the same pos patch and login servers that the beta has, then it wont be making its competition worry.

/nod teauvian, i hate those damn servers with a PASSION

People are so incredibly conspiracy theorist and lame it boggles my mind.

Why will Corinav die soon? Not because of some other piece of crap video game that Sony shudders in fear from, but because guilds have been working on the event.

The only reason Corinav isn't dead now is because of the ass retarded respawn on a blown attempt, so the opportunity to attempt is artificially cockblocked. If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Corinav dying before the eventual respawn "fix" on a blown event.

I'd also bet that it'll get fixed after it's conquered a few times, not from Shadowbane, Planetside, SWG or any other perceived "Thrat" to EQ, but because it's broken and the more people are enabled to attempt it, the more pressure will be on to fix it.

I have SERIOUS doubts that they'll dumb down the encounter before it's beaten because of competition from a PvP game, and it seems a damn insult to those who've been working on the encounter to imply that they will only beat the event because of something unrelated to their efforts at understanding and overcoming the encounter.

It's so funny. I remember when I saw on the FoH homepage "Emporer Ssra is impossible." Three days later Triton killed him.

Yeah, Coirinav and the Rathe are "impossible." Sure.

Why is it an insult? EQ is like counting. It's not twice as hard to count to 10,000 as it is to count to 5,000, it just takes twice as long. It's just a question of how much time they have to invest before getting their "rewards" /shrug

Camo · 02-27-2003, 02:44 PM

I'm not so concerned about Corinav dying soon as I've heard guilds making strides at beating him. I'm more interrested in hearing how the Rathe council is coming along.

Kreugen · 02-27-2003, 02:48 PM

I'm pretty sure the comment was "lame" not "impossible"'

And yes we killed that version.

Yea, I'm sure that's a direct quote. Shut the fuck up, dumb motherfucker. We've never claimed an encounter was impossible...except, perhaps, Cursed with 2 DTs, and obviously mobs that were designed unkillable (Kerafyrm). Do not confuse our ridicule of poorly thought out/tuned encounters for claims of impossibility.

Unfortunately, there is one thing that is impossible: writing something idiots like you won't misinterpret.

And on the note of the Sleeper, has anyone figured out what the deal is with the Warders in SS? I remember running into a few of the new mobs in SS about 3 months ago, and received butchered messages from them with /says. But from what I could read, there was supposed to be a way to re-seal the Big Bitch in his tomb, or perhaps kill him. Anyone seen that, or was I just suffering from sleep deprivation and caffeine/nicotine-induced hallucinations again?
