I can't even get into the game to be mad about the new patch. All I get is this crap.

4/19/2005 9:55:37 PM

132 kills tonight. I'm spent.

4/19/2005 11:23:43 PM

22 kills here with my 29 mage

4/20/2005 12:27:20 AM

115 kills, and that's on a PVE server

4/20/2005 3:04:34 AM

about 230 kills last night in a few hours of TM and SS raiding on Medivh. for some reason, everything was fine when we had the horde pushed back to TM or the cave at the alterac zone, but if they pushed us back down past the tower to SS the lag would start up hardcore.

i was impressed though that with a full 40-person raid and change rolling on the alliance side, i was hardly getting any more lag than i usually get--playing from england. i feel bad for all of you on servers that were screwing up; medivh is pretty high pop, but i guess they got us right for the most part this time.

4/20/2005 8:13:59 AM

Last night rocked on Medivh. TM & SS were the places to be. I raided for a few hours before 10:00pm, but didn't get back into it until 7:00am and by then I was too tired to really care. There were less people on at that time but the party was still going. It kinda turned into trench warfare with both sides splitting the path into TM. Casters and Hunters would run to front and cast their AoEs on the folks of the opposing line and then quickly fade into their ranks. PvP was fun. It will get even better when I get to 60 instead of 51 where I look like easy pickins to some Horde punk.

4/20/2005 9:38:52 AM

I was about to log off in SW, when i heard it was under attack. It wasnt that huge, maybe 12 alliance vs 9 or 10 horde, but i still got 7 or 8 kills in.

4/20/2005 10:56:47 AM

It is REALLY tempting to aggro on these alliance fuckwads that show up at crossroads and kill my merchant and flight guy. but im only 24 so I wouldnt last long.

4/20/2005 11:04:25 AM

Got into the PvP for a while on Mal'ganis for a while last night....but made the mistake of going to Hillsbrad to do it. The lag was so bad I'd stealth up on a caster and ambush and wait 30 seconds for it to go off, needless to say I didn't stick with that long. However I did pull off a successful Scarlet Strath raid last night afterwords...much more fun when you're in a good raid group! 58 undead rogue

4/20/2005 1:50:56 PM

started doing my dreadsteed quest. lot fewer problems in winterspring than expected. this one hunter kept being around so i was forced to rape him, then a warrior kept trying to get me back...died too. went 14-1 for the day, not so bad solo.

and off to scholo when my other friend gets on for imp part.

4/20/2005 2:41:04 PM

The new honor system has basically ruined the game for unbalanced servers. Mine WAS balanced until they let that fucking move happen. now it's 3 alliance:1.5 horde. (Nathrezim). I cannot do anything without being attacked by a roaming group of 60's. PVP is one thing but jesus christ.

I have to admit the war in tauren mill was incredible. 100 or so alliance versus 40 horde. We beat the shit out of them. I honestly believe anyone who plays alliance believes in Zerg attacks. The motto for the night was "Need more overlords".

4/21/2005 9:09:34 AM

3:1.5

2:1

Seriously though Stormreaver is fucking useless now.

They should have implemented this with a penalty for dishonor for the simple fact that it needs some sort of balance. Shit has gone crazy, it's like Compton up in here.

cuz the horde all fight honorably 1v5 and win because of their uber skills while all alliance are unskilled zergers

[Edited on April 21, 2005 at 9:58 AM. Reason : thats what it boils down to, but its made our server more fun i think (assuming ur not trying to lvl]

[Edited on April 21, 2005 at 9:59 AM. Reason : ^ and i think they wanted pvp servers to be like compton, before it really wasnt]

4/21/2005 9:58:14 AM

I still dont get how this thing works. Im 25 and i killed a handfull of just below to just above my lvlel NPCs and i diddnt get any count for honorable kills so when i decided to see what happened when i killed a citizen i got one dishonerable kill automaticaly. How the hell do you get counted for an honerable kill? I know they say that they will count up your pvp points at the end of the week but i was under the understanding that there is a difference between the number of kills and the points from those kills. Why dont equal level NPCs show up on my honor tab??

Also i must say i couldent imagine solo pvping with anything but a rogue. Its a load of fun but i feel bad for all other classes who are going to try and solo pvp. Oh and being on a PvE server i dont think the honor system has messed up anyting. PPL are just going crazy because now it counts for something to pvp. In a week or so when shit quiets down it will be better and when battlegrounds are out i think it will all fit well.

4/21/2005 1:17:24 PM

NPCs dont count

only other players

4/21/2005 1:19:10 PM

^ well town NPC's count as dishonorable if you kill low lvl guards, but not other ones (and there is no penalty).

In June, the company will open Station Exchange, an official auction site for selling EverQuest II items, characters, and currency."

wow

4/21/2005 1:26:46 PM

might as well make the profits from the auctioning than letting ebay get all ur money.

im personally opposed to item/gold sales, but account transfer seems fine (assuming its not the same ppl farming lvl 60's).

4/21/2005 1:32:28 PM

So you dont get honorable points from killing pvp enabled NPCs near your lvl but you do get them from killing NPC guards?



[Edited on April 21, 2005 at 1:51 PM. Reason : .]

4/21/2005 1:51:20 PM

^originally they were going to give honor for killing guards, but decided against it to prevent farming them.

Why? The other classes are just as effective, if not, far more than rogues at solo pvp.

4/21/2005 3:47:10 PM

rogues are little bitches sometimes.

4/21/2005 4:17:38 PM

every class has some perks for solo. druids and pallies have insanely nice survivability while something like a mage or rogue can jump you and frontload assloads of dmg off the bat.

4/21/2005 5:45:10 PM

not if your a hunter with "track hidden" enabled

4/21/2005 6:00:17 PM

heh, but if you dont or arent paying attnetion ur screwed if they get up close :p

hunters are one of the few classes i wouldnt run around solo as.

4/21/2005 6:26:52 PM

hasnt hurt me yet

4/21/2005 6:33:19 PM

generally you'll be alright, but you are one of the more vulnerable classes once in medium-close range.

4/21/2005 6:34:23 PM

that is true, but hopefully i notice before it comes to that

4/21/2005 7:13:31 PM

same with me as an affliction lock. ive got few more outs than you but a few less ways to prevent it in the first place

on a side note i love stealing me some points by dotting other ppls kills.

4/21/2005 9:50:45 PM

So is it weird for a lvl 25 to have 97 honor kills?



These raids are awesome. Just look at the bones!!!!

zerging TM = useless

4/22/2005 10:21:35 AM

Why does everyone bitch about zerging like its some cheapshot? Wars arent fought one on one, people.

If you're outnumbered, get more people, or dont fight.

4/22/2005 10:44:43 AM

Well its mostly useless because its raid groups vs. raid groups so you don't get too many contribution points. Plus it basically ends up just farming people who have recently died and rezzed and then running back to SS/TM after the gaurd zerg spawns.

Hey it can be fun, of course, but when rejuvination takes 10 seconds to cast no thx

4/22/2005 10:48:14 AM

i mostly hate zerging cuz it makes it laggy and half the time they just camp the griph or something to get you while the massive lag from loading them slows you.

4/22/2005 11:00:34 AM

That raid was fun. Horde were all over the place they got pushed back into town then it was just at a stalemate and we (i say we like i acatualy contribited anything to this) werent able to get too far into the town. It was basicaly 1:1. I know it sucks point wise but its was still damn fun.

It was funny though. there was one 27 shaman and we would fought eachother basicaly one on one multiple times in the middle of the battle and no one messed with us on either side till one of us won. It was very cool.

4/22/2005 11:41:50 AM

Never forgive, never forget.

4/22/2005 11:47:34 AM

oh sweet yes. doing dm/quest with 2 warlocks, pally, druid, hunter wasnt the easiest thing, but not terrible either.

4/22/2005 8:07:32 PM

holy shit

battlegrounds next patch

4/23/2005 12:10:52 PM

good i need something to do again now that im done my quests

4/23/2005 12:17:22 PM

^ farm level 48s?

4/23/2005 2:31:59 PM

heh, always end up getting zerged. but yes, i plan to pvp a lot more now, but you either have to put up with the zerg of TM/SS or waste time looking for people. this is why battelgrounds will be nice i think.

4/23/2005 4:00:42 PM

you don't have to look for anyone in tanaris, that shit is always crazy.

4/23/2005 8:48:58 PM

but the desert is soooo drab.

4/23/2005 9:40:39 PM

battlgrounds will be hardcore

4/25/2005 11:05:24 PM

I spent three hours at TM last night. I think I'm going to max the Flamestrike talent, because alliance simply doesn't understand the range of the fire mage.

I got three flamestrikes off on a group of five, two of them died instantly on the third strike. The other three healed themselves or resisted, but it was genius.
