A Little T5 released
 

Working on releasing a few T5 events not related to progression..

Stop on in and check us out, Returning players ? You may enjoy some of the new changes..

www.raidaddicts.org

Do you really need to make a new topic every update your server has? Why not make an official topic and update there?

Only changes I'm aware of are the guks being removed from ChardokB and North Ro, what else has changed? Should list some of those before peeps go to log in for sure.

Not a bad idea :) also as for guks that was unintentional will fix today :)

So far the mob in Kael is pretty impossible, and I'm not sure why. It literally 3 shot Devo, the most geared tank on the server. That's not fun, that's just boring. That was with slow/cripple btw.

Tier 5 won't bring players back if its impossible to kill things without using 3 clerics spamming heals, it will just make them want to stay away and not touch it with a 50 foot pole.

Devo is a Shadow Knight, do you expect to face new content using a knight as a tank ? Their defensive ability is 35% less powerful than a Warrior at least man. As I said before too in another post this Tier bring's back RAIDS, I saw your attempts with your boxed cleric, and 15 players that will not suffice! Your going to need a Warrior, your going to need more clerics, and a better strategy than ZERGING it :)

Have fun, trust me the loots will be worth the effort, Looks like they took down Velks already so that's one down, I'll be releasing more ASAP!

Statue Down
 

Update :

Once people combined forces, and used a Warrior tank , the result was a Dead Statue, of course the IDOL and AoW will be ahead.

Is it just me or is that one guy's last name "the fuck you ranger from hell"? That's pretty funny, I want a last name. D:

LOL :) didn't see that but yes I think so

How'd he even get that? I don't remember being able to actually get custom surnames. D:

I'm sure your unannounced nerf of the Idol before they went and killed it didn't help at all though right? Devo getting smacked for 120K+ and Muffin getting hit for 37 on average isn't because Warriors are better, don't even start with that shit until you actually understand how SKs work on your server.

Oh no, I don't understand SK's on my server, I only made all their spells, I totally don't understand them..

Do you know how to read spells? Please investigate for yourself if you want it's all real simple.

I will narrow it down so you don't have to :

SK DISC : -43
WAR DISC: -58

Have a great rest of your day! Thank you for derailing my post. Appreciate it.

Wow T5 mobs now released, that's great Mortenson. I'm personally surprised You got anything new done with all the new build issues. You've been dealing with and server upgrades. I personally know you'd been hard at work on loot tables, class balancing, new bard spells, and content adjusting for lower tiers and population. I've been impressed at the amount of time you've taken on them alone.

I know I cannot tank the new mobs, I'm still working on t2 and starting t3. I have however been grouped with the top warrior and Knight tanks on KMRA and am Impressed with both players. I've seen both in action and can say first hand each as skills and a lot of gear and know how. As close as they are the Warrior does tank a bit better. Like on live though, some attack types the Knight seems just as well.
Anyways, I posting to congratulate you on the start of making things new and exciting again for older players. I'm sure 1 or 2 people in this thread cannot do the events but seem to have a great interest in them. Which I find odd, and Interesting at the same time.

I'm happy for You and can not wait to have a chance at them myself someday.

Cheers,
Adele

So giving sk's stonewall totally helps with the balance issue of making warriors better. mm yup sounds right

after more research
 

Well, i think i posted prematurely, without all the information needed to support my opinion on Shadow Knights Vs. warriors on KMRA. I see exactly what the others were referring to after making both classes, seeing I'm somewhat content locked currently. I'll keep it short but do have data to support this.

Mr. Mortenson is 100% correct about the -43 to -58 % on mitigation he says the warriors have in advantage over the Knights. This might look like a lot on paper and would be if it was the only factor in EQ. However it's unrealistic to base everything on 1 stat. I think if you concentrate on the 15% variable its' easy to see the unbalanced issues.

Knights get hit less on KMRA over all, close to 18% in general, they also get the heals Knights have on live customized KMRA style. along with some fantastic Life leech damage spells, pets and taps. All well done, and the biggest is the Lich curse effect ( heals for about 25% on lower level, and about 50% on higher) of the damage you do back in heals. So, when you hit for 90k ( average I've seem higher end) your self healing for 45k, per attack and riposte. This Is exaggerated On Mort's server by the items and effects on ones that stack etc.

Knights also get the same AC on gear as the warrior for most drops making them an extremely versatile Meat shield for all encounters. I'm sold on the Knights as anyone would be. Hits less, self heals, and taps for a small difference in mitigation.

Sorry for misleading prior, I thought both tanks had the same stats. Looks like the warrior I watched had a bit more making them seem close on the events I did with both. Either way it's still a great place to play EQ! Maybe a even more for Knights,right now anyways .
