Weekend Update:)Follow

I spent my weekend travelling. Hopefully I will get time during the week.

I spent the weekend trying to figure out the quests/missions in the new expansion. It didn't help that nobody is posting info about it. The expansion has been out for over a week and there's still no information on it anywhere.

This game is in a sad state.

Which class boards might these be? I've been reading the The Magician's Tower, The Spirit Realm, Allakhazam's, Necrotalk, Druids Grove, etc and have found very little information as compared to previous expansions. I'm not saying that no information has been posted, just not as much as I'm used to seeing.



Your correct, it's been out for 7 days.

so what? is this game called Everquest or "bring me all the info on a silver plate RIGHT NOW"? Alla is a spoilersite after all. and you're crying that ye can't play this game without all the spoilers being available to you?

If I'd have bought PoR I'd be scouting the new areas. get yerself a rogue shroud (so ye can hide/sneak) and explore.

Friday: Undusted my 50 Pallie (haven't played her in 6 months) and went to Cobalt Scar with a guildie, pulling Wyverns. couple of learnings:
- yes, I have a taunt button - use it.
- no need to pull 4 at once, you have pacify
- stock up on potions the next time
Saturday: went to the Baltic See, 2 hours walk along the beach. after that some great food (spare ribs with raisins and plums, red cabagge and potatoe dumplings).
in the evening I tried to single in Forgotten Halls with the Pallie (as per the post last week). was able to kill one DB rat (had to use 3 potions and LoH). Tried a second one, but I was glad I had "I want to leave" hotkeyed...
Sunday: more groupage with a Dwarftosser in PC, with a short trip to AC.

good WE :)

Grats!

I hereby have to remind you that this is not "my thread", and has never been. I'm just one in the long row of Weekend Update posters (Dread Lord Kaolian, Jophiel, Nobby...), and the first time I ever posted a weekend update, I "stole" the thread from Aadynn... Many others to come!

That said, here is my weekend:

Thu: Three LDoNs in Takish took me from 45,4 to 46. 20% of a level per LDoN, seems as if exp is slowing down in the 40ies...

Fri: The local software shop called me, PoR arrived. Picked it up, but didn't have the time to register yet...

Sat & Sun: Skiing in the Alps. No EQ.

Can't wait to log on tomorrow and get my horsie for my lowbie warrior!

Thursday eve started with the rogue sneaking thru Lava to pick up picks, and a satus report for the newly level 40 shamaness. Seems gnomes dont like talking to trolls, at least I wasnt KOS.
Even did some killing with the rogue on the db lesser lava spinners and fire imps. Kept up sow so I could run to zone if too many adds. Got halfling revenge on two of the De guards in Nek as well, but the third time I tried I was looking for weapon skill ups and died when a 2nd guard wandered by.
Did get glowing magma ring and toolbet for the shaman.
Shaman went to tofs on Thursday dinged 41 and half to 42. On FridayI played between the rogue and shaman. In the evening I went to dulaks harbor to help paladin get his Loy spell. While waiting on paladin sent a tell to a 70 shaman asking about the shaman spell mob and he kindly invited me to group, killed the mobs and got me the spell in about 20 min time.
On Saturday Did task in ot for nice exp that took me to TD, where I then killed golras for some more exp and to collect chunks of ice for guild brewers.

Sunday after coming home from work I logged on the shaman who was camped in So RO. Kited SG's, when some higher level wasnt committing mass slaughter, and was able to ding 42. Even got revenge on the Spectres. Again I could easily kite two Spectres, but not two Sand giants.

Wow, you mean you never looked up a quest. My hats off to you sir. I was just wondering, when you did your epic 1.0/1.5/2.0, did you look up the quest? If so, then what is your point?

Btw, I was only commenting on the lack of information as compared to past expansions but hey, if you want to blow it all out of context then have at it. the game is in a sad state with lower server populations. There are less helpful people around as seen from your post. I don't know about your server but Prexus could use another server merge.

And thank you for suggesting that this may not be the game for me but since I've been playing eq for almost 7 years, I think I'll be the judge of that.

After a relatively long period of no EQ I got to play last night.

Took my two juniors (26 Shammy/ 21 Cleric) over to Iceclad and killed snow cougars. Shammy is now 27 and Cleric is now 23!!!

Nice for some spare time killing.

Spent Friday working on getting some runes in MPG with my chanter. Was a rocky start - I think the group had like 8 deaths inside of 20 minutes. Once we geled , though was nonstop killing for like 3 hours. No runes. Tons of attunable junk, though.

PoP raids in the morning on Saturday. I then got into a spell mission group, that was totally cursed. Cleric got lost on the way and wandered all over Stoneroot. I had to cast sight on him and tell him where to go, but he was not the best listener. Finally started the mission, cleric goes LD. We get a druid taskadded and start killing. Second pull, 3 spiders warp right on top of the group. I lock em down but we lost the tank. While rezzing, accidental break on the mez, monk down. Finally back up, monk pulls three, I mez one and WHAM all three warp on top of me and wipe the group. An interesting 2 hours of basically getting nothing done. Good group of folks to hang out with that I never met before, which is more important to me.

Sunday, did various minor quests for junk sitting in my bank then switched to my 30th cleric. Did the clicky snare quest with a beastlord then hit Rathe Mtns. We cranked out 5 levels there and walked out with several thousand pp. I was also pretty surprised how few folks were there. I'd never really hunted Rathe much before and it was a total blast, esp. with that snare necklace.

Monday, RL work then spent the evening killing the banished efreeti in Western Wastes to get some folks alt SolRo access and chatting up people I hadn't talked to much in awhile.
