New server by Maze

[Maze_EQ]

Too lazy to make a poll.

Let me know if I should create another server in a reply.

Leave a short explanation as to why you selected your choice.



1. 100% Custom Progression.

2. Stat Scale/True Random Loot/Grind

3. 100% Classic-Nagafen's Lairesque type.

4. DON'T EVER MAKE ANOTHER SERVER.

[mjbcb0717]

Holy sizzling salmon

Uhh I'm 50/50 1 and 3 a mixed server of both.

Custom progression has always been one of my favorites as long as I'm not required to box more then maybe 6 I'm lazy. Seeing what ideas people come up with and how they are shaped has always be really neat.

3. Well I like classical feel as well not bare bones type where I gotta spend 12 hrs at a spawn or something stupid like that. But having to run to and from or boats and ports are actually needed I feel helps keep people from blowing trough content and makes them feel like they worked for that faded brown tunic.

Iv always wondered what you can do maze show us what's up! If I had to pick one then no.1 for me

Maze you bitch you obviously wanted everyone to choose 2...

[satora54]

2, show these guys how its done.

[Maze_EQ]

Okay, 2 sounds legit.

Gonna get the server spun up shortly.

[ChaosSlayerZ]

I am amazed how you guys just randomly decide - "I will go and put up a server. Will be ready in 1-3 days". =P
And here I am spent 2 years just brainstorming how everything should work to look nice =P

[Nerdgasm]

As Maze has proven though, he only needs 1 or 3 days to make a success server. Lol.

[Maze_EQ]

It's Friday. If I build the server throughout the weekend, I could probably have a "beta" release by Monday.

[mjbcb0717]

Go maze go!

[Maze_EQ]

Ok, I believe I got scaling working.

nice work send source plz

[rhyotte]

Hey Maze,

What's old is made new // completed ;)

Take the original Giants Vs. Dragons conflict which was never finished, and remake things like Veeshans Peak etc... to be part of the extreme high end. Not original, but taking some of the original intent / flavor and thoroughly remaking it. Later on they brought in quite a bit more Giant zones... just need to fix up a some additional dragon / dragon kin.

Add in mining like shards has for a much better trade skill system that scales into the very highest raid content zones.

Add in full on deity differences in the classes. Does it make sense that a Dark Elf Cleric of Innoruuk would cast all of the same exact spells a High Elf of Tunare would? **Pure // **Agenda // **Battle ...;) Be pretty cool to give one type of cleric Call of the Hero......hahahaha.

that is way too much god damn work.

[rhyotte]

Well...maybe. I would be happy to brainstorm along. Pretty sure you could pull in some additional talent and pull something like this off.

[Maze_EQ]

I've already went with #2.

[rhyotte]

/grin

Yuppers!

Maybe another time. I have a few pages of notes kicking around if you get an itch at some later point down the line.

I look forward to seeing your #2 ;)

Loot is randomly generated on repop.

[rhyotte]

Now that is some cool beanz!

[Maze_EQ]

Gonna see if Ghanja wants to come back and play around.

Miss that guy.

[Splose]

nice work send source plz

plz respond

edit: with source

[Maze_EQ]

How about, negative? lol.

[mjbcb0717]

Wizard OP already!

[Maze_EQ]

I'm working on the item balancing/loot balancing. It's blegh.

[mjbcb0717]

I know you hate bots, how you gonna have it set up?

[Maze_EQ]

No fuckin bots, didn't even compile that trash.


Also, go ahead and box, i really don't care.

It's gonna be leaning towards a solo server anyway

[Kingly_Krab]

All that goes in to custom damage scaling is this: https://github.com/KinglyKrab/Server/commit/0805d4b068d150bd285cab16487acf91a9f447a7

[Splose]

How about, negative? lol.

Was hardly serious.. you said you'd send me something like that months ago and never did. Which is why I was curious as to why you said you rewrote my spell system.

I'm working on the item balancing/loot balancing. It's blegh.

If you're using Akka's diablo loot you should just add some code in to make it only add item ID > 150,000 or something to loot tables and just mass create items with scripts. Much more controlled.

the legend.. I had a feeling it wasn't that difficult. But I had no clue where to even start to look / how many places I'd need to change. Thanks for this.

[Kingly_Krab]

No problem, it's not a bad thing to share knowledge every so often. Even if we don't always get along.

[rhyotte]

This is what EQEmu is all about, so cool!

[Splose]

No problem, it's not a bad thing to share knowledge every so often. Even if we don't always get along.

I was very surprised. Thank you again. I've been playing around with it seeing what I have to adjust on my server, etc and already having a lot of fun. This change really flows well with what I have going so far.. especially since I've kept stats to a minimum.

I pulled the latest source and added those changes. Also changed the 2hb animation to use the old piercing one instead of the overhead slash.. just ruins my immersion.

RelWithDebInfo no bots windows32 compiled version can be downloaded here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/6dnn6vetyuzuoo0/StatsIncreaseDMGSource.rar?dl=0).

[Maze_EQ]

I'll continue dev tomorrow.

I pulled a mortenson, found a cannonball of rum and a fifth of captain.

See you all this weekend.

Kingly: I still love you bud.

Splose: I rewrote the critical system along with changing GetInt with maxint. That was the "rewrite"

[Shirodan]

2. Because there aren't any good random loot servers.

[Mikeko1]

A server like that server a couple years ago "Project Kimura" which was like random loot grinding was great.. although I do like bots.. I used to like boxing (used to 6 box) but too much of a hassle to setup up IS Boxer again so at least 1 bot would be great.. 2 is probably the best # of bots but is more tedious so 1 would be ideal

[Thorpa]

Is it too late to request number 3?

Jk I realize you went with 2

Future project “Kildrukans Prophecy relaunch”

That is all thx. I’ll toss some cash at ya if it’s worth our time.

[adamle00]

Auto scribe and auto skill ups please and thank you.

[mjbcb0717]

pretty cool so far maze, pets wont summon though on BL and spell mod seems you need to be within a few levels of that spell then it drops off

KPEMU was essentially nagafens lair rebranded.

And about the spell issues, I know what the problem is, I just haven't been near a pc this weekend to fix anything.

[mjbcb0717]

Chop chop dammit

[Bonethugz]

Would be nice to see some type of damage augments that can fit into epic weapons. that way they can progress with you.

[mjbcb0717]

little things im finding now that im 50.

not sure if you can but hit/miss ratio could be changed maxed skills almost an i miss so much compared to the mob.

mobs fleeing and high resist dont think mobs ignore level restrictions or stats off gear they have so if they have something with alot of hp and running it turns out really bad.

cant seem to find bags anywhere in POK only the 25lb bags in baz weight is still on this is w/e for me with the str but monks are crying.

stun/push seems OP pita to get a spell off

just some things iv have found no rush i know its new! just trowing those out :)

[adamle00]

Tool boxes can be found on 2 different tinker merchants in PoK.

Suggestions.

There is a toggle that can turn off mobs ability to use items they spawn with, perhaps this should be shut off.

Also a server with inflated gear but nothing else changed is still a server where all the gear in the world doesn't help if i'm death touched or feared or banished. Some of this crap needs to be removed and or mobs nerfed in some way.

Don't know if the server needs a hub but a PoK gate clicky or something would be swell, maybe even a buffer npc

I realize all of this is a lot of work so maybe just give a heads up on your plans for this server so we can decide if its worth the time investment.

Thanks

He just opened a server up and changed gear, he said he was working on it, ya'll need to chill. Lol.

[mjbcb0717]

anddd ding 70 im likeing it so far hope you keep up with it maze!

[Maze_EQ]

Bruhs, the server has MAYBE 45 minutes worth of work into it.

I'm getting there lol, been busy fellas.

[mjbcb0717]

Bruhs, the server has MAYBE 45 minutes worth of work .

Shit, I was hoping for at least hours worth.

Nah you good brah I hit 70 found some cool as stuff and whatnot still pretty cool never played at Diablo style. I'll stick around for it help out in anyway I can.

[adamle00]

Umm, it takes me 45 mins to decide if I want a coffee or not...

[Maze_EQ]

Server is going down until I figure out how to fix Akkadius' loot generator.

It's causing pets to depop.

Should have a solution soon.

<3

[mjbcb0717]

I miss it already.

</3

[adamle00]

I wager we have seen the last of it....

[mjbcb0717]

I hope not or maze loses my vote as prezdint.

[Maze_EQ]

I wager we have seen the last of it....

How much you wagering? Daddy needs a new pair of work boots.

[adamle00]

I'm trying to guilt you into bringing the server back up, this daddy needs something to do

P.S I don't play pet classes anyways.

[Maze_EQ]

Okay, I'll bring it back up.

[adamle00]

Cool, but how come some of the changes you implemented didn't take? like auto scribe/skill ups...

[mjbcb0717]

I'll be on to slay later.

[Maze_EQ]

Cool, but how come some of the changes you implemented didn't take? like auto scribe/skill ups...

cause i didnt implement that. I can do that now.

[adamle00]

You da man Maze

[mjbcb0717]

Is pet scaling in yet mr maze. Wasn't few days ago before you took it down also pop and other flag required zones are still in be awesome if we could get those removed!

[Maze_EQ]

No, it's not. and sure ill remove flags.

[mjbcb0717]

lot of spells not working now cant heal or buff myself says it took effect but nothing happens also dmg spells are hitting for like 50k for me cant summon pets at all now

[Maze_EQ]

Bruh, need to chill and learn to write a sentence.

I need figure out wtf is going on.

[mjbcb0717]

Bruh.

OK brah I'll try get my learned up.

[Shin Noir]

Any luck with figuring out your issues maze?

[Bonethugz]

Any way to get into anguish solo? I don't want to make 5 dummy accounts and keep them logged in. I'm trying to find the zone that drops the best weapons. RSS is not it. Thanks!

[adamle00]

More suggestions.....

1 Remove key and flags requirements
2 Need a PoK clicky for non Gate classes
3 Universal aug solvent would be nice with all the gear and augs
4 I'll add as I think of things.....

[mjbcb0717]

Ashen gate is great for drops right now

[Bonethugz]

Can you enable /warp t? Running with just run speed AA is kinda slow considering. I'd love to find a warp.dll that works for rof2 but can't find one.

[Maze_EQ]

Warping is via macroquest.

I've brought this server down and moved to Legacy of Cain.

Where's your server at?

Oh okay. I'll wait.

Merged projects into a TRUE Diablo2 style server.

See Legacy of Cain.
