EverQuest Trivia #359- Game started by Community Member sarienko.

Post your favorite new SoD AAs / Spells - Discussion started by Community Member Xenow_Drinal
What class(es) do you play and what new AA do you find to be amazing?

Necromancer:

Encroaching Darkness - Such a great AA, being able to cast a -40 resist check snare at around a 1.5 cast time is well worth it. It's not on the spell gem recast so you can cast a DoT, refresh Encroaching Darkness and land another DoT in the same time you would have previously just casted those 2 DoTs. I was hesitant to purchase it but it was definitely worth it (even though the duration is only 1 minute).

Whisperwind - Basically the "Blink" ability from WoW. Sets your character a little past maximum spell range on a 20 second cooldown. Makes kiting even easier and allows for some fun opportunities when needing to go past where the monster is (you can jump right over them with it, although I was hit once doing this). Another great investment of 6 AA points.

A New type of Item - Discussion started by Community Member secondfred
Was looking at all the stuff in my main's bank. Suddenly had an idea. How about a change to items. We have attunable-nodrop and nodrop. Would it be possible to make a select bunch of items, no-drop-re-toonable? IE, make them tradable within the specific account? This way you could pass down items to alts/new mains but NOT trade them with other players.

I would love to be able to pass some of the augs I have replaced over time to my secondary character.

Feedback on my UI - Discussion started by Community Member myxiplx3
I'm looking for feedback on this UI before I start developing it. Since I only play one class (Bard), what I'm after is input from other classes as to how well this would suit your play style.

The basic idea is to make my UI more modular, allowing people to pick and choose the pieces they want to use. The idea will be to provide standard layouts for Casters, Hybrids & Melee classes, but everybody will be free to tweak the layout to suit their needs.

Faction Checker Tool – Discussion started by Community Member Pugger
If I remember right the big gripe from the devs was that there are soooo many factions that it would be just too many calls to the database thus slowing down the playing exp.

Could it be done like tradeskills. What I mean is there is a database with all the gajillion tradeskill recipes and that has been remade into a window that can be queried and where you can add or remove certain recipes to your favorites list. If that was done without impending doom of lag till no one can move 3 feet without it taking 15 minutes then I'm sure the faction shouldn't be that far of a stretch. Just put requirements in.

Such as only allow like 5 to 10 on the favorites list so that queries to the database aren't asking for 800000 factions all at once. These can be added and removed as liked but can only be queried once every few minutes or something. Or hell even only queried once an hour would be better then how it stands now.

You could make the faction window show a meter such as levels now do or you can simply return a percentage to the player's faction window. A simple window that states faction name, current level with faction and 55 percent in shouldn't put a drag on the server that brings down EQ.
