Celestial Tomb now on Guk - EQ2

Glad to hear CT is coming together once again. You should create a chat channel for exmembers who don't want to change servers or start another character.

Jackass! (tm)

Heya Marcuz : )

Xanupox does a pretty good job of announcing when he's starting up a CT guild for a new game here. Can't think of a better place to do it than on a forum with an extinct EQ Server's name.

Has Sony set up their IM/chat so you can talk between any of their online games now or is it just EQ/EQ2?

Kylere is 100% correct, after his, "I will not play EQ until CT is UBER again - we could have been the first to kill Rallos Zek post", I didn't even try leading CT.

hold up a second there Stragay.......are you even attempting to make an argument that WoW has more endgame content than EQ 2? Haven't you landed enough threads in the retard forum to make quota this month?

Don't forget to add:

Talendor
Gorenaire
Harla Dar
Lord Vyemm
Tarinax (Deathtoll, the zone as a whole is nice)
Barakah
Siyamak
Djinn Masters Prism
Hurricanus the Patriarch
The Mutagenic Outcast
King Drayek
Various T5,6 and 7 static mobs that are too many to name.

Basically there is a lot more content available to raiders than you listed. I'm not being an ass but if you're going to try and compare a cartoon to a game then you might want to list all the content available in those two games, not just a mediocre list of both. These may fall in your wax content bullshit bin of stuff, but thought I'd name them anyway. I usually don't even get caught up in bullshit rants about which game is better and why. I've played them both and EQ2 to me is a great game, but to me the game is a lot more than content. I've met some pretty good people playing EQ2 and the graphics to me, with the system that I run, are a lot more appealing to stare at for hours on end, than WoW graphics. I'm probably throwing out flame bait, but most of the shit talked about in x vs y game threads usually are nothing but flames on one persons opinion.

Carry on

Taking a look at the 'Long List' you put together for WoW end-game content, I will reflect to you how each of those zones actually applied to when I had a chance to partake in them.

wow:
scholomance - 6Man Group, turned into a Farm session nobody even died.
stratholme - Everyone always wanted to do Undeadside, 6Man group.
dire maul - Did this once, something called "Tribute Run" 5Man group.
upper black rock spire - Did this 10,000 times to farm a key for something
lower black rock spire - Did this once at 5AM with 4Man group.
black wing lair - RAID CONTENT!
molten core - RAID CONTENT, but boring as fuck
black rock downs - Solo'd this one, Raid ?? LOL.
zul gurub - Semi-Raid, very boring and linear, RvR very poor. (Poor mans MC/BWL)
aq20 - Quit before this, but sounds like another ZG (for guilds that cant do MC/BWL)
aq40 - Same as above
naxxramas - New Content, no idea
alterac valley - PvP Qeue up and wait from 1-5 days for enough to play it
arathi basin - PvP Qeue up and wait 1-3 hours for enough to play it
warsong gulch - PvP Qeue up and wait 30 minutes, then its over in 10. YEAH!

Overall WoW has like 3-4 "Raid Areas" that are even worth doing, unless you enjoy progressing backwards. Guilds that were doing MC and BLW, never goto ZG because there are no upgrades, since ZG was released well after MC, this was the case for most.

WoW does feel like a great game when you are leveling up, but when you get to the near-end, you can really "feel" how the game suffers from losing the people that actually made WoW what it was for those first 50 levels.

The only people left at Blizzard are the ones that got so rich they dont even come to work anymore, and then the new guys they just hired from ITT Tech and Devry to take thier places... lol.

1. You can only have 5 man groups, not six.

2. You can get scarlet side groups for Strath whenever you want if you're in a guild of decent people.

3. Doing one tribute run shows you about 1/20 of the Dire Maul zone.

4. Where is Black rock downs? If you mean Blackrock depths, you are lying that you soloed it and no, it's not marketed or known as raid content to anyone and never has been.

5. Guilds that do Naxxramus still go to ZG for enchants/faction/loot - mine goes every week and we were already done with MC by the zime ZG came out. There are some nice drops from Hakkar and Jindo that even Naxx level guilds like ours still appreciate. It's a good place to run alts through as well. The same goes for AQ20 for spells/loot.

Battlegrounds - You just have shitty luck with wait times I guess.

I'm not saying wow is better than eq2 or whatever, people can have their own preference, but if you're going to pass judgement on that sort of thing, try and make sure you aren't talking out of your asshole.

Xzion · Post by **Xzion** » July 2, 2006, 11:36 am

lol, am i the only person that gets pissed off that every single peice of armor, be it the best in the game or a lvl 20 quest item looks the same in the EQ series!?
in WOW every single peice of armor for the most part has a unique grafic, in the rare instance that they use the same one they will not only change the color, but the patters and designs will be different

also ive heard rumors that they are Implementing a server wide PVP option, which will make queues last a much shorter time

Im sure EQ2 is more developed for the tedious 80 man 7 hour raids that we all know and love, but I guarantee a tense WSG or AV is a lot more fun then buffing and rebuffing for 5 hours on one of those raids

Nah.....the one good thing about EQ 2 is that people can mentor down to play with you or help do quests. All the crafters will also be able to make some pretty nice gear for you....and think we have a few people who just started or are level 20 and under. Highest level right now is Pylix and Fameen at 40....you can hit that in 2-3 weeks at most.

Actually DDO was and still is a great game. The problem we encountered was it was not conducive to our playstyle, 2-3 hours a night as a group we roto-tilled the limited content that was available.

We grew bored of DDO due to that sole fact, lack of content. The game itself was not the issue.

EQ2 has just a good if not better gaming platform/engine and mechanic. The content however of EQ2 is so absurd that it is practically impossible to do half of it with a character before you must move onto new areas. The replay value of EQ2 is off the charts for the fact of if you want to see everything and do all the quests, you will be playing through the game with more than just 1 character, it will be 2 or maybe even 3.

The above poster was just wrong, he must have eaten too many shit sandwiches to be able to see clearly... all he can see is shit!

Not too late at all, as a matter of a fact, several old names that you will probably remember have started playing just this week.

Very easy to level and catch up, plus the higher levels can and will mentor down to lower levels and help out, since we missed quite a bit of content ourselves... fun is fun!

Kylere · Post by **Kylere** » July 8, 2006, 12:34 pm

Xan was not wrong about DDO, iut is an excellent game. We just need more content, no one deleted their chars there, we just stopped paying monthly fees while they write more.

Ish and Squoosh are in and they are rocking. I will gladly assist 30% of the former CT members to join us. But we need Tigger more than most.

There are no 6 man groups in WoW. What are you talking about?

Did you make some of those zones up?

WoW has more end-game content than EQ2 currently, in addition to encounters that actually make you think. Then again, I can now see why CT values the EQ2 end-game encounters over WoWs.

Not really. He has mentioned that they were not anywhere near the EQ2 end-game yet. Other than that, his WoW references were off by quite a bit.

Xanupox · Post by **Xanupox** » August 10, 2006, 11:13 pm

The bottom line on this subject is that WoW is just a simple game compared to EQ2.

Requirements for success in WoW is to have a nice large guild, ensure everyone downloads CT_Mod and CT_Raid_Assist then goto a dungeon with your walkthru in hand and rake in the loots.

In WoW, if you are not in a raiding guild, then you do not even have that option. You will probably try to get some gear from PvP which is basically instances only as World PvP was non-existant

A simple game for simple people with not enough time on thier hands to be able to play EQ2.

I will admit that comparing EQ2 now to how it was when I first played 1.5 years ago, the difficulty factor has dropped significantly... regrettably. It feels like the WoWirus has infected Norrath.

Two very different games. If you have tons of free time and want a challenge... play EQ2. If you have little time and want an easier game, then play WoW.

I am sure both games will stagnate eventually... like everything they will fall prey to the next big thing, then these WoW versus XXX arguments will look just as silly as they really are.

EQ2 on Guk, the steamroller is warming up!

Simple for leveling, yes. Simple for raiding, and end game? No way. Which is where it really matters. WoW scales more for different people than EQ2. Everyday casual gamers can play it a few hours a week leveling their characters or BGing for honor. However, if you want to raid and hang with the big dogs, a minimum of 5 nights a week 4 hours a night is required. The raid fights are neither simple or fast.

I understand you weren't able to raid in WoW, so I understand how you have no grasp of how it is. Just don't let the quick leveling fool you. The raid encounters in WoW are twice as thought out, and can be very rewarding when beaten.

I actually was raiding in WoW. I played for around 6 months at my longest stretch, the guild I was in, appeared to be a seemingly very ogranized guild, but we were on a newly opened server. The raids we were doing were things that already had a full fledged 20 page walkthru written for them and the CT-RAID ASSIST mod was coded for these raids it seemed. Molten Core, Onyxia, Zul Gurub, Outside Dragons, etc.

I almost laughed my ass off when I first saw how the RAID-ASSIST thing worked.. litterally large red font pops up on my screen TELLING me what to do next... this was the case for everyone! I mean come on... how much easier can it get when you dont even need another player to tell you a strat, you just walk into a dungeon, start fighting a mob and then this automated strat tool starts popping text on your screen telling you exactly what to do.

I guess WoW is really no different than EQ2 or any MMO that "raids". If you have people that are smart enough to understand, they need to "STAY ALIVE", focus agro and all damage on one or as little characters as possible, heals going to that one person then you will "win". The hard part is making sure the "fuck ups", do not overturn the "coordinated efforts".

I still laugh to this day at non-maintank players that stay right up on a mob trying to DPS it, trying to kill it while they just get eaten alive by AoE damage. Instead of just backing out of AOE range when they are 30% life and regenning, or waiting backing out until they get a heal from a non-dedicated healer, they just stand in there and die to the AoE.... what good does that ever do?

Anyway, Masai... yes come join us on Guk! Anyone else that wants to transfer over, our higher end guys are in the mid 50s now.

The only bad thing about the RA is that Blizzard now seems to be designing encounters based on everyone using it. Makes for awesome encounters, but also prohibits people who refuse to use add-ons from doing anything but dying in very embarrassing fashion.

lets see

wow:
scholomance
stratholme
dire maul
upper black rock spire
lower black rock spire
black wing lair
molten core
black rock downs
zul gurub
aq20
aq40
naxxramas
alterac valley
arathi basin
warsong gulch

eq2:
lady vox
fire giants
fippy darkpaw
a bunch of other low quality bullshit mixed with cutting edge wax like graphics and boring as fuck gameplay

AND WE ALL KNOW THE NUMBER ONE REASON TO PLAY MMOS IS THE FUCKING BADASS STORYLINE GUYS LOLLLLLLLLL
Don't forget to add:

Talendor
Gorenaire
Harla Dar
Lord Vyemm
Tarinax (Deathtoll, the zone as a whole is nice)
Barakah
Siyamak
Djinn Masters Prism
Hurricanus the Patriarch
The Mutagenic Outcast
King Drayek
Various T5,6 and 7 static mobs that are too many to name.

Basically there is a lot more content available to raiders than you listed. I'm not being an ass but if you're going to try and compare a cartoon to a game then you might want to list all the content available in those two games, not just a mediocre list of both. These may fall in your wax content bullshit bin of stuff, but thought I'd name them anyway. I usually don't even get caught up in bullshit rants about which game is better and why. I've played them both and EQ2 to me is a great game, but to me the game is a lot more than content. I've met some pretty good people playing EQ2 and the graphics to me, with the system that I run, are a lot more appealing to stare at for hours on end, than WoW graphics. I'm probably throwing out flame bait, but most of the shit talked about in x vs y game threads usually are nothing but flames on one persons opinion.

Carry on
if you would like i could go through and list all the single npcs like you did and make my list look a lot bigger instead of just listing content

...or you could do just what Lynnsie did and flame a person for doing exactly what you're doing yourself! That wood b kuhl!

mind = blown

The only bad thing about the RA is that Blizzard now seems to be designing encounters based on everyone using it. Makes for awesome encounters, but also prohibits people who refuse to use add-ons from doing anything but dying in very embarrassing fashion

its a brilliant model though and not likely to go anywhere, even in future games.

why pay someone to design your UI when the community will do a better job.. and for free. You can even snatch some credit and try to integrate the really good ideas (such as SCT in 1.12)

who cares about people who refuse to use them, anyway?

You don't need to use ctraid for anything and if you're dying on raids because you don't have it installed you fucking blow. I refuse to use it because it makes wow run like garbage on my shitbox of a pc.

Spell alert and sct are all I run.

edit: and the cthun warner

My ex-bestfriend/roomate just happened to be a GM for eq1 and happened to get 2 free subscriptions to eq2 as a perk, wich of course allowed me to play le game for free, wich I have to say, made the game fairly enjoyable as it came with zero out of pocket expense.

So what I'm trying to say is... Someone got a spare account I can create a toon on and play with ya all?

I logged into EQ1 the other night (business trip so I had internet in the hotel) and saw that no characters still guilded in CT had logged in recently. Well, it looked like over a year actually other than myself. It was very sad. Even seeing FoH gone was kinda sad as well as PE. I would love to join you guys but just don't have any internet out where I live now that would work and I got married at the beginning of the year and we are expecting our first baby in a couple more months. I doubt she'll let me jump into any serious EQ playing. Dial up only out where I live now and then it only connects at 14k. I do have a Shaman in EQ2, forget which server, which I haven't played in several months that is either level 28 or 38, also forget which. Maybe someday I'll drop in to chat if I can get on somewhere.

Hey Lugon!

Where are you, that you dont have internet other than 14.4 dialup?

Maybe check for local updates on DSL, Cable, Wireless? lol, trying to help ya out!

A lot changes in less than a year.

Playing LOTRO now, not with anyone from EQ though. They seem to be on the Landroval server, while I am on Gladden, my character is a level 50 Guardian named "Skar".

So, the main concensus is that WoW have more endgame-content than EQ2 but that EQ2 is more challenging, difficult and timeconsuming.

Where does Vanguard stand between these?

Nah, EQ2 has a hell of a lot more content.... they are coming up on their 4th expansion.
Both games have challenging endgame timesinks.

Vanguard is roughly two and a half years behind WOW and EQ2.
