EQ2interface

Posted by FelizB on Dec 14, 2011 in Everquest II, Guides | 0 comments

EQ2interface.com hosts UI mods, skins and addons. The site has been around since release and is a spinoff of EQinterface.com. It is the prime resource for mod & interface authors and the download and information hub for users.

The most prominent project is EQ2MAP, a full set of maps with user maintained waypoints exceeding the waypoints that come with the standard EQ interface by far. It comes with an automatic map updater. Expect a separate entry for EQ2MAP.

Among the fully featured UI’s, ProfitUI is used most frequently and well maintained. There are other UIs like Fetish, eXtreme and Drums.

UI compilations, which might not complete rebuilds of the existing UI, Skins, which just change looks and interface pieces like Autoattack timers are available as well.

SWTOR: New User Guide

Posted by FelizB on Dec 14, 2011 in Guides, Star Wars: The Old Republic | 0 comments

Star Wars: The Old Republic has a great new user guide up on their main website at http://www.swtor.com/info/newplayerguide. It’s a pretty good introduction how to get started with the game. It is certainly directed toward the newcomer into MMORPGs, but the information presented is compact and gives the experienced player a quick rundown of the games features, races and classes.  It also has some short chapters on the game’s more innovative features like companions, interaction with NPCs, flashpoint missions, crew skills and space combat.

EQ2Flames

Posted by FelizB on Dec 13, 2011 in Everquest II, Guides | 0 comments

Aaah, EQ2flames. Where the children run wild, but the adults usually win. It’s a very interesting site. A web forum which is not controlled by SOE and has a very liberal policy regarding its content. As the name says, flames are fine, but there are a couple of common sense rules to keep the children in check. And guess what, the site works.

Nonetheless, people vent, have to blow steam, but only the truly socially inepts expose themselves. What remains is usually decent material.

And to top it all off, they have great guides, mostly in their class section. We will be addressing those separately in stand alone posts. Other notable sections:

• An active guild recruitment and looking for guild section
• The flames core “Center Stage”  section
• Very active class sections
• Active server forum

EQ2i, The Everquest II Wiki

Posted by FelizB on Dec 13, 2011 in Everquest II, Guides | 0 comments

EQ2i is a major resource for every EQ2 player. Guides and articles span many subjects from achievements to zone descriptions. The information find in the articles is generally very good and accurate. The wiki is approaching 60,000 articles with daily additions and updates.

Of note are the quest guides which organized in timelines, a collection of quest sequences, usually describing a single zone, but also Heritage or Epic quest. Most often used is the Solo timeline, guiding through quests from level 1 to 90. Another significant timeline is the Dungeon timeline.

Additionally, there are zone, monster and class guides as well as tradeskill, spell and equipment guides.

The wiki is hosted by http://wikia.com, a host of so many game related wikis. Here’s the link to the EQ2i main page: http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/EverQuest_2_Wiki:Main_Page

Introduction to Builds

Posted by FelizB on Dec 11, 2011 in Fallen Earth, Guides | 0 comments

Fallen Earth is an MMORPG without classes. As such, it is completely left to the player how he wants to build his character. But so much freedom creates problems because there are so many choices and so many chances to create a mess. The Fallen Earth Dev Blog gives us some help how to approach the problem: Build Advice

Here are some important facts for characters in Fallen Earth. A character is primarily defined by his skills, with mutations being specialized skills. Character stats are almost exclusively used to modify the maximum values a skill can take, and therefore describing a characters theoretical limits. At certain skill levels, abilities open up for the character, like “Resuscitation 1” at skill level 39 in First Aid.

What play styles are there for a Fallen Earth character? Melee and Ranged Damage, Defense/Tank, Crafting, Command/Support, Healing, Crafting and Social. A pure mutant character might be theoretically possible, but it would be extremely difficult to level, and there are many issues to balance.

Here are some resources to work on your build:

Skills Database v1.9.2 & Character Builder v1.0 (Excel)

Sector 2 AP quest waypoints

Posted by FelizB on Dec 11, 2011 in Fallen Earth, Guides | 0 comments

This is a list of quest givers whose quest chains will result in 1 or 2 bonus AP, similar to the Sector 1 AP quest waypoints list.

This list originates from a post at GlobalTech Atlas, only slightly formatted to fit your screen. I have also started to verify the information therein. Please let me know if you find any problems with this list.

To use the list, open you characters .ini file at: {your install directory}SettingsUser(your-character-name}.ini. Highlight and copy this list and paste it at the end of the .ini file. Make sure you don’t have any other WAYPOINT entries in your .ini file. If you do, correct the number scheme accordingly. Once in game, you can open up your waypoints with Alt-P, highlight one of them and follow the yellow X.
