Leetsauce server likings... - Page 3

If it wasn't for /warp, people would just be straight up training shit to get where they need to go. I've seen this countless times on live and emu servers over the years, this is better for all in my opinion.

As for the server itself, it's pretty god damn amazing right now. Unless you dig for info, you'll probably spend weeks finding new and cool shit exploring everything.

Leetsauce has and continues to do great things. I don't think there was a night in the past 2 weeks where I was on and didn't see a "Anyone need help with anything?" from him. Dude is on top of this shit, adding content, fixing issues and helping people.

I wouldn't mind some variety to the max level grind though, maybe some zones from the SOF/TSS/TBS eras would be a nice addition?

Sorry, I was trying to be constructive and give insight like Leetsauce said. I'm not at all trying to insult the server.

EQAwakened allows warping as well. I didn't find this out until I was level 50ish (A few hours in), and had a bad experience where while clearing to Naggy, some guy warped in and just killed it, not even talking to me, so when I arrived, it was dead. When I OOC'd about it, people said warp is allowed and that's likely why it went down like that. So I loaded up warp, and immediately found out that it killed the experience for me.

To each their own, I'm not saying anything negatively, I enjoy MQ and the things it offers to simplify gameplay. Some prefer classic 100%. I'm not a fan of warp, and it's normally not allowed (I can only think of two servers that allow it, leetsauce and eqawakened?).. On second thought, not saying to put the word "cheat", more "warp OK" or something since if it's not clearly noted.. Warping I kind of put in the category of exploiting door/keys/speed/permanent buffs/using skills across zone, which is normally thought of as cheating.. I'm not sure where the line is drawn on leetsauce, but since legit is normally assumed, people may be playing legit while the rest utilize the tricks and causes an unfair advantage until it's realized. (Maybe at least in the server greeter or rules) Always sucks to play on a server to find out everyone else isn't playing the same way.

I think on all servers it'd be nice (maybe I should make a wiki page) where there's a simple FAQ. Something like:

Is MQ Allowed?
Is /stick allowed? (mq2melee)
Is AFK killing/looting allowed?
Is /warp allowed?
Are speed hacks allowed?
Is /twist allowed?
Is EQBC allowed (sending messages between clients, I think EZ server discourages this one)
Is there a hub zone?
Is there a teleporter or #zone command?
Is there a gate item?
etc

That's all. Sorry Again.

No apology necessary, bro. We're all on the same team.

If it gave an unfair advantage on my server, I probably wouldn't have allowed it at the start, but since progression is currency based, MQ doesn't really do much for you aside from allowing you to travel quicker. At best you can warp to the other side of the zone in less time than I can #peqzone to my destination. Only the competitive crowd would have a problem with this, but as I do not cater to this particular demographic, MQ use is largely viewed as a feature.

Side bar: I know quite a few people who flat-out do not use MQ on my server, even after being given the green light to do so.

Now that this has been addressed, can we keep the discussion more related to content, or something that differentiates this server from the next as opposed to it's stance on using MQ? This is a very very small piece of our server, and I get the feeling a lot will be overlooked because we've wasted 2 pages discussing MQ and how I feel about it. I'd much rather people discuss content we've implemented, or even use this forum for suggestions on how to make our server better, or even to tell me our server sucks and to kill myself. These are the types of posts I'd find most interesting.

I love that you said this. Remember when you had to figure a quest out on your own? There was a time.

I plan to use ALL expansions.

Any ETA when the server will be online again?

#1 reason why I love this server. On P99 I always felt second-rate, even though I made some friends in high up places (lets call them the competitive elite)... Especially since I played a warrior. On the Leetsauce Productions server, even though I don't have the best gear yet, this ill-natured competitiveness seems to be absent.

Also, as others have said, Leetsauce really goes far and beyond to help the players on his server (sets a good example). This, imo, helps to nurture a tight-knit community for all, and not just the EQ elite.

Something I would like to see: Hardcore Group and Hardcore Raid versions of zones like ToV, with the loot adjusted accordingly.

Thanks so much Leetsauce! I am so glad I found your server.

It's up now. I am hosting from my home PC while we get the beast hardware up and running. Shout out to Dirtmike for making this happen.

Camric · #10 08-12-2014, 10:37 PM

Anyone able to login? Each time I try to connect it boots me back to the login screen.

Leetsauce · #11 08-12-2014, 10:38 PM

You all should log on and play around with me! I wanna make sure this is stable enough for you guys before I go to bed.

bloodeus · #12 08-12-2014, 10:48 PM

Same....just keeps booting me after trying to login, no load screen.

Bear with me.

Leetsauce · #15 08-12-2014, 11:28 PM

Try now. If not able to connect, I will figure it out tomorrow morning at work. I have the ports forwarded, but my router here at home is wonky. Remember, this is just a bandaid type fix, and we will have it back on the main beast host soon enough. Thank you all for your patience!
