A Comparison Between EverQuest's Old and New Character Models
The musical episode-brilliant! Turns out you were actually a Bard this whole time. 😉
The Narrator surely is a bard. :D
Awesome video! Funny, I had a bugs group where the Monk puller also fell in the water. He swam around fruitlessly for about 5 minutes before giving up, used Origin, then dropped the group 😕.
Oh no! He could have just picked over twice! Would take him the same 5 minutes he wasted trying to get out. But I confess I was a little desperate when I fell.. took me a while to think what I needed to do... as can be seen in the video. That was not staged lol. I just recorded the whole night (the raw video is over 3h long which amounts to 78 Gb). EQ is a game of perseverance. We don't want to rage quit over tiny things like that. That is to be expected haha
My old guild used to lock down the fungi camp on the PVP server. Every time the zerg logged in to farm the camp we'd bat phone the boys and kill them. They might have been the zerg but they did not have that camp.
The camp fights even on the traditional PvE servers were wild. I can only imagine how wild it was on Rallos Zek.
@@TheoreticalGameDesigner PVP fixed the lamest parts of EQ. All the rule-lawyering and poop-socking gets thrown out the window, and fighting other players gives you something to do at max level that isn't the month's long grind to min-max gear. Plus most of the best PVP gear was a lot easier to acquire, with exception of the Amulet of Necropotence, which was just shared for big guild PVP fights.
Great video. Oh the days when a Kr was 45K. They topped 150K today lol
Poor Montek, that Outrider made him go night night.
haha yeah! It was so close though!!
RMT = trash, hard pass
I dislike RMT as well, but unfortunately it is all over the place, either formally supported by the developers or through another channels. But you can still play by your own rules. I didn't buy a single Krono with real money. I traded them for loot earned playing the game. As I said, Krono is a reserve of value. Platinum inflation is explosive. You can't waste time hoarding platinum pieces anymore.
Wild to see EQ still being played.
It is still a great game. Classic MMOs are my favorite (UO, EQ, DAoC and the such). They were so different from each other and still managed to be awesome in their own way. Innovation was rampant in the late 90s, early 2000s. It is so interesting to see how the game evolved over the years and how MMOs such as WoW improved upon some of it, like raids, and failed in other areas, like the social aspect.
@@TheoreticalGameDesigner Yeah I miss the original Asheron's Call. Was SO good for its time.
Let’s go Lagar!!!🎉
Woot!!!
I played on Teek for like a week. Way too many boxers and bots
Yes.. people seems to be waiting for Velious to drop two weeks from this day. But you'll still find people to group even now. If you have friends to play with, the experience is much better overall, though.
use /pick to see if there are other instances of the zone. Usually if a zone is popular there may be over 10 different instances. I don't support botting but it's easy to coexist on a popular server. Also the agents of change let your full group request your own private instance of the zone. The modern conveniences make the game playable for everyone. Bots and all.
@@denniswright2233 Well said!
I really wanted to try this server until I found out you can pay 2 win with the kronos
Since this is not a PvP game, what other people do to progress their characters should not interfere with your gameplay experience. Just don't spend any money and you'll play the way you want.
Every MMORPG is pay 2 win if you're willing to pay. For games that don't have KR, or servers like Origins (EQ2) people just buy Plat with RL money.
@@TheoreticalGameDesignerbut it is a pvp game, originally it had official full loot pvp servers. idk what joke you guys playing seasonal garbage
@@itchin4scratches it was only pvpon the pvp servers, i think there was three, the rest to had to toggle to red at a priest of discord, wasn't worth cause no one else did and you cant group with non pvps,
TLP's are trash... unless all you want is to go the current "best" exp spot for the expansion and rush through the entire game like it's a speed run. Not to mention the horrid amount of krono farmers there are, and with a randomized loot server you get the added benefit of having to deal with them in even more obscure locations going after loot from a random loot table and clogging up even more named camps. TLP's are just the last ditch effort to suck the last remaining dollars out of our pockets while half-assed releases of current expansions on live servers go uncompleted because "we ran out of time".... DO BETTER DAYBREAK!
Kunark is a great expansion. But it got stale after a while. I want to see what the next expansions bring to the table, especially after PoP, when I originally quit the game. That's why I think TLPs in general, and Teek specifically, can be a good choice.
Well with Teek being the most popular server ever, its good that it does suck the last remaining dollars out of people's pockets. Without TLPS there is no Everquest its the lifeblood of the entire franchise. It also brings in investors willing to help create games like EQ3.
Your motivations and choices are dictated by the RMT of the game (krono) So yea fuck no. TLP is dumpster fire
It is kind of the opposite. I never bought any Krono with real money. I said you can drop some loot playing the game and then sell it for Krono to protect your money from inflation. Krono prices skyrocket in TLPs, devaluing the platinum pieces. That is a problem, of course, but they are a reserve value. And because of the krono farmers, there is so much loot being sold that their prices collapse once we are hitting the next expansion. At first, the price of the items are really high. Then, if you want to catch up, you'll be fine because the items will be cheaper. TLPs have their own problem with botters and PLers, but a free trade server increases the chances you can farm your own loot, instead of buying with real money.
Thank you for another fantastic video! I wonder if Lagar will find a use for that mysterious pipe… 🤔
Who finds a metal pipe and shove it in their bag for later use? That lizardman is up to no good. Or does he know something we don't? haha :D
He’s a legend! Love the almost drowning part and de leveling 😅. EQ forever! And may this young Iksar become a dragon! 🐉
Here's hoping!
Randomized loot sounds too dumb to me to try teek
There are some items that are not random, like a lot of epic quest stuff. But you'd be surprised with how good is the random loot. With little time to enjoy an expansion on TLPs, with no random loot you'd probably never see some items dropping for you, let alone you winning the roll or a dkp bid.
So what will do in Velious? Im 60 already and done with Epic. I guess a Velious alt? They should Unlock Vel and Luclin Together
Velious has a lot of farming opportunity, all those armor sets! Not to mention the Shawl Quest
Velious is mostly a raiding expansion but there are still plenty of group farming too.
I am also on Teek and hoping to go through to live for the first time.
Hype! Let's hope we will stay on Teek was long as we are having fun! It's really interesting to see all the different ways EQ evolved. Mischief, which has the same ruleset as Teek, still have High population on prime time 3 years after launch. I am certain Teek will be same.
I wish daybreak would make a classic server that stops at Velious. To me, that was the best times to be had in EQ.
It really is the crown jewel of Classic EQ. They did have Agnarr, which stopped at Planes of Power. Maybe they could do a server stopping at SoV someday. For now, Project 1999 is the server you are looking for if you want to experience classic EQ until Scars of Velious.
Project 99 is free, stops at Velious. There is still a solid community, check it out!
I’m loving your channel! I returned to the game after 20 years away, and have been having a blast on Teek! I have very limited play time (only just hit 50 after eight weeks), but have had no problems finding groups or keeping myself decently geared. I plan to ride Teek all the way to Live, and experience all the content I’ve missed over the past two decades.
Same for me! I played on three past TLPs but only got as far as level 21, 15 and 42, respectively. When I played in the early 2000s, I got as far as lvl 62 then quit before Legacy of Ykesha launched. First time I have a character on the level cap in era is here in Teek haha :d The tower gear really helps with gearing as well
The Tower Gear?
@@roboparks The 25th Anniversary Tower in North Ro. Every month of 2024 they release a new quest and unlock a new door so you can buy completely busted gear, things that will probably last until Shadows of Luclin or Planes of Power. The item slots released thus far are: charm, face, neck, earrings (x2), shoulder, ring and cloak.
Getting lost in guk is a classic!
And despite this, or maybe because of this, I find it to be one of the most amazing dungeons of all MMORPGs ever
Bravo! Another fantastic video! I’ve only been down to the executioner area once, died on the first pull, then the group disbanded 🤷🏻♂️. Nice to see that you mastered it!
A good enchanter is the key to have a smooth experience in Guk. Crowd Control plays a major role here.
Annoying music making this into a BAD musicvideo so first and last visit for me
Thanks for the feedback :)
But they all had skin of nature and a 25 ds lmao so no risk of dying.
Not at this time. This recording is from May 26th :) So there were no PLs going on at the time.
Fantastic video, as always! I’ve only been to Unrest basement once-my group got destroyed by the first pull, then disbanded. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah.. that hag's thunder spell hits hard and mobs aggro a lot there. We needed to break camp with lull first. Pathing is also a little bit weird there. Our first Garanel Rucksif pull brought like 10 mobs because he fell to the bottom of the pit there lol
So, what happened was he had not capped his Feigh death, so he was owned.
He was too lazy to skill up his feign death at this time. Or, the group was leveling so fast he had no time to level it up. But, fret not. Before going to Guk, he leveled to cap :D
The return!!! 🎉 wooohoooo❤
We're back! :)
It's easier to swim and climb in first person. I love this, i can't stop watching!
You are right! I will try doing that from now on haha
omg I love this, i wanted to make some fun videos while playing on Teek, but I'm just gonna watch this instead!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Bravo! Love the use of music, especially Hall of the Mountain King.
Great to see you following the journey! I love Hall of the Mountain King :D
Keep fighting the good fight Lagar!
I will and I am. :) Always respecting camps and having some good times. Thanks!
Fantastic! A legend in the making!
Here's hoping! :)
Music choices are spot on
Thanks! I always try to choose the music so that they fit the specific occasions. It pays out with comments like these :)
The opener had me laughing out loud!!! Out of mana…… Haha😅!!!
haha at least he was doing his job as the wizard of the group. The casters hit hard at low levels and were 50%+ of the dps (wizard and magician).
Great video
Glad you liked it! :)
This was awesome!! You got talent, bro! Keep it up!
Thanks! Happy you liked it. Next week there will be a new episode.
Brilliant, as ever!
Thank you for you kind words. Appreciate it.
Such a journey! The beauty of EQ and the nature of old school difficulties is spell binding
There is nothing like the feeling of traveling through a dangerous world. It is so immersive and it literally gave me chills everytime I thought I was gonna die.
Love the shared heritage comment for the gators 😂
Love the story behind it too 🎉
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! It is pretty fun to come up with these stories.
Just what I was looking for. I prefer the old as models because the new all look too human
I feel the same as you. The new models are too generic, very human-like.
I`ll make sure I have J Boots and a fungi 🤣🤣
that would be a not so humble beginning haha great choice, btw
EQ's manual warned players to not log out before finding your corpse. What do you think of corpse runs? Do you like it? Hate it? I love its design but I'm not sure I would like it for a standard ruleset server. I think it really have a place in today's gaming space if you approach it like a "Hardcore Server", but instead of having one life, you just lose all your items and need to recover your corpse to get them back. What do you think?
Awesome! 😆 Back in the day I made that trip through the woods many times. I always hugged the wall as tight as I could, and it still wasn’t safe. I applaud your courage in running straight across!
It is so hard to see in Warsliks Woods that I thought that an open area would be more safe than being tied in one of the directions. There are so many roaming mobs. This trip really felt dangerous. We made it in about 30 minutes or so. So, the idea of dying and needing to spend another 30 minutes walking again with no speed buff was terrifying haha
Haha, brilliant!! Easy sub! If I see you around Teek, I’ll give you a /cheer!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! I'll see you on Teek sometime somewhere. :)
Sorry but crowd control/utility is part of the trinity. DPS characters are the fillers
For classic MMO design, you may be right! But nowadays, utility and cc are almost non-existent as an archetype in new MMOs. DPS has somehow been upgraded to be a part of the trinity. That's why I like to think of EQ as having a quaternity of tank, healer, dps and cc. Utility is less of an archetype and is most notably what enhances a hybrid class, like paladin's stun and heal, druid's buffs and ports and so on.
Very excited for this
Nice! New episodes every tuesday and friday!
Keep it up I love videos like this!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the comment. More are surely in the works. :)
So good!!
More episodes are coming soon. :)
The enchanter picture is literally a gnome holding the wiz epic lol
