Ill have mine tommorrow,prepaid/+ the strat book!

Mytflyguy · Post by **Mytflyguy** » Mon Nov 08, 2004 2:04 pm

Hell yeah I'm getting mine shipped to me tomorrow !!!!!

Got my System all cleaned up and backed up , now just planning on straightening up the crib and prepare to hunger down for a few days.

I am SOOO pumped !!!!

Never really played much of an MMO but I've done nothing but read and read and study on this ....

So I take it you are going to be a Ranger ?

I plan to be a swashbuckler !!

The Scouts don't seem all that great for Solo and some fear there will not be much desire in groups as the Traps really don't cause much damage to groups and the Sneak isn't as useful as once imagined ...

But since I first started reading about them I had decided to go scout .... Ranger was my first choice .... then the more I read the more I realized that everyone and their brother was going Ranger ....

So I decided to go with a Half Elf/Rogue/Swashbuckler ....

Have you guys decided which server yet ?

It seems ther are more than enough of us here to start a guild or to atleast make sure we have a good group with atleast a few of us in it at all times ... a Friend of mine that is not on here will be getting his tomorrow as well.

We just need someone to take charge of Guild status and stuff.

I personally nominate Kinslayer ( weren't you the one that was leading the Dissidents Clan ? )

BTW:

EverQuest II Known Issues

Un-installing Beta – If you were a participant in the EQ 2 beta, then please make sure you uninstall the complete beta, and delete any folders that may have been created by the game. The only folder you will want to save is the saved_customizations folder. This folder will need to be saved to another location if you took advantage of the Character Creation Tool.
Character Creation Tool – If you have used the CCT, then please make sure you uninstall this prior to installing the retail version of the game. If you would like to export your character you created over, then you need to copy your Saved_Customizations folder. This folder can be found at the location you installed the CCT to. To export your character to the live server, copy over the Saved_Customizations folder to the directory you install EQ2 into. (ex. C: Program Files / EverQuest 2)
Invalid Pre-Order keys – When trying to register your account key for the Pre-Order JBoots, you need to first setup your EverQuest 2 account and activate billing. Once this is done, click on “Account” from the EQ2 LaunchPad, then “Edit Billing” for EQ2. You will then have a “Add JBoots” button you can click on to register your key. The link you may have been given to register the JBoots, will no longer work.
Invalid Account key issues – Your account key may come up as being invalid. If this is the case, then please make sure you try swapping 1’s or L’s and O’ or Zero’s.
Installation Issues – If you are having problems installing the game, make sure you are using a DVD ROM drive to install the DVD version, and a CD Rom drive to install the CD version. Using a DVD drive on the CD version may cause issues.
Disconnection Issues – You may encounter disconnection issues at any point in the game. If you are running a firewall or router, then please refer to our Firewall and Proxy Info page, Router Support page, and our Dial Up and Broadband troubleshooting pages.
Graphical glitches with shadows if enabled – You may experience some graphical glitches if you have shadows enabled. There is currently no fix to this issue, and you would need to turn off the shadows in the options menu.
Unsupported Geforce cards - The following Geforce cards will not work with EverQuest II MX100/200/400/420/440/460. The game requires a video card that is Vertex and Pixel Shader capable, and these cards do not have those features.

Launchpad Crashes - Game will close between LaunchPad and entering into game if you do not have a supported card. There will be no error messages, so please make sure that you view our Supported Video Card page and have a supported card with EverQuest 2.
Texture tearing on 6xxx nVidia based cards – Due to improper drivers. Check the Supported Video Card page for the latest available supported driver.
Refresh rate problems - The game may list higher refresh rates than your video card/monitor will allow. This is due to having Plug and Play drivers for your monitor installed. You can resolve this by installing the proper drivers for your monitor through the device manager. For further instruction on this, please refer to your monitor manufacturer.
Color Depth - Having your desktop at one color depth and the game another will not allow the game to run. Both the desktop and the game must be set to 32bit. Critical Error EverQuest2 requires 32bit color depth. Please change the color the color depth in your display settings to 32bit. For further instruction on this, please refer to your monitor manufacturer.
Hanging while loading to character select - If your computer hangs or pauses while attempting to go to character select this could possibly be due that you have a software firewall and there is warning window from your firewall software waiting for an acceptance or denial. You can ALT + TAB out, to see if this has popped up, and then accept the game on your firewall.

I personally nominate Kinslayer ( weren't you the one that was leading the Dissidents Clan ? )

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but like rivas has stated the two games are hugely differant. I planned on working twards the assassin class,but I still havent made up my mind. What sucks about this is my luck I will choose a class that gets nerfed to nothing in future patches. Finally, most of my game playing with be along side my brother-in-law, and as to which server he plans on playing, I havent the slightest clue. I will though steer him twards what SG uses so that I can party up with ya guys once in a while!

Couple ???'s though. Im not totally sure about EQ2, but in SWG you had the ability to have two charactors on one account as long as they were on differant servers. Is this true for EQ2 also? Secondly has anyone heard about any PVP sections? Or can (Like SWG) evil charactors attack good charactors without battle consents (SWG you had to be Non-Overt, I think)? Because im definately using a Dark Elf chick as my main charactor. My beta char was hot! :2cool:

server -Crushbone,
check out the main SG gaming board ,thread "EVERQUEST 2 SERVER - Crushbone " and let me know what do you think

I think we will have ability 5 characters per account.
no PVP yet
btw Doesnt really matter who is gonna be leader,we just need someone with experience i hope we are gonna be powerful guild,and with great power comes great responsibility

ALso people will have to listen to you,you need some respect as a leader

Well we will see how it goes

Kyle · Post by **Kyle** » Mon Nov 08, 2004 6:39 pm

Or you could all merge into the EQ2 branch of my current guild, that's where I'll be once I do move over later on down the road.

Mytflyguy · Post by **Mytflyguy** » Mon Nov 08, 2004 6:55 pm

So:

Kin plans to be evil from Freeport
I will be Good from Qeynos ( Sony EQ Backwards )

Where will the rest of you start out ?

Can we have Good/Evil in the Same Guild ?

I'm assuming the guild house would have to be located outside the indivual cities...

I know there are betrayal quests , but I hear that they are incredibly hard and time consuming ....

I will be playing mainly evenings and all night Friday and most of the weekends ( assuming I like the game )

The server name really means nothing to me except I DON"T want an RP server and I'd like low latency hopefully.
