    After the most recent double XP weekend this video rings sooo true. Buddy and I started new characters on Ragefire about 2 months ago and we put the progression grind on hold for the weekend to crank out some AA's.. EVERY decent camp in EOK had MQ bots clearing everything. We made over 2k AA's which is pretty good for just a weekend, its just frustrating knowing someone running a program did 3x times that amount while doing nothing and taking away camps from actual people playing.

    I love RG, ive played EQ since 99, Tanarus before that.. Quit a few times over the years, quit the last time around 2015 and just came back last year. Discovered RG and got sucked in, all my friends quit and can be hard to find groups so RG fixed that for me... Pumps in allot of money into EQ as well trying to keep multiple accounts gold. I dont see RG as cheating, i see it as a wonderful tool for enthusiasts. We are older now, most of us dont have the time we did as kids, and again i dont see how it effects a guy states away camping his item while i do my own thing in a quiet zone. MQ for sure supports cheats, warping, slay mobs, bypass flags... RG doesnt allow that stuff.

      Exactly, it's a tool to just make EQ fun to play your box group with. It's just a game, people get all worked up about it lol. I don't have much time and I certainly am not going to alt tab and act like a crazy monkey, trying to box a group of toons, that isn't fun. I haven't played in several months, but when I play again, I will certainly use RG. I wouldn't play without it now, it's soooo much more fun. I'm not bothering anyone or farming anything, just enjoying my alts in a group for exp.

      @Tokindisflower 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's funny how auto follow was made so a certain developer who also played, using MQ, didn't want to be noticed as easily, so he appealed down the line for it to be created out of group.

  • @henrywes2628
    @henrywes2628 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I find it useful, played this game 20 years ago, older now, friends from the past dont play, hard to find a group, I work a very odd schedule so being able to jump on for a couple hours and play my toon without spamming 5 hours that I dont have is nice. My mains are played without any help (Ranger and Bard) I see the tank and healer as a better merc, I think the problem arises when its abused. If I pull up in firefall to camp some birds for 2 hours thats all I am camping, it doesn't make your group super human, and its not as good as real players by far, atleast not the way I run it, if you get in a bad pull situation it quickly falls apart and you die because its not able to discern the situation and respond like a real player would popping necessary CD's, Roots, etc. Yes its leads to alot more deaths, but would rather die and be playing than sitting in PoK looking for group that will not come in my available play time. Also its not allowed on the TLP's nor does it work on them from my understanding so that is a non issue. Oh play a solo/moloable toon! Why? I don't want to play a necro or mage or shadowknight, I came back to play a Ranger like I did when this game first came out and for the next 6 years after. My hope is that when I hit max level that it will be easier to find a group and I don't have to play and pay for 4 gold accounts, I can just use 1, maybe 2. But if it were not for MQ I probably wouldn't be playing the game as mentioned before due to real life reasons of time availability and schedule where very few people are on when I am able to play. And I use a very vanilla version of it, so there is not warping or crazy crap like that, I set up a camp pull to camp with my bard, hit auto attack and melody key, jump over to ranger to start damage rotation or whatever I need to do. Rinse repeat.

    • @vanman2099

      Those are a lot of good reasons how it can be helpful, MQ does work on the TLPs, but I think these games are alive still because so many people box and play a lot of characters which is why I don't think they can really ever ban it without changing the game a lot.

      @@vanman2099 I think they could make the merc tank a little tankier after 100, right now I think a shaman pet is about as strong as the merc is after 100. That would go a long way. If I played a SK with healer merc, and a beastlord with rogue merc it would be equivalent to what I can do with my current set up running mq shaman and warrior, with my ranger and bard. The tank merc is just so bad. That is why a lot of people I know have a pocket SK.

    I was under the impression that they made it not run or work on TLP servers. is that not the case? I bought 18 computers that i havent even learned to fully use yet. my bards are just melody casting with autofollow and boardcast key to turn attack on. Made social macros for my healers to run a healing chain for 4 casts at the start of my pulls (4 healers so goes for a minute or so for all 4 to run thru them) allowing me to slow and tash and malo manually. all DPS is set with boardcast key to hit assist social macro. I enjoy the game enough with my set up that i dont see the point in cheating. I probably have bought some items from people cheating or atleast the Krono for sure.

      from what I've read its not too different from log parsing for DPS programs. TLP or not. they seem to run from reading the /log file and triggering on log entries. /tell heal me for example. So, if a DPS program can trigger and tell you to move... it could in theory also tell a healer to pre-cast.

    MQ2 was good then they got $$$ in their eyes. It helped when you couldn't find a spawn that was either underground or wandered off and got stuck in the geometry. normally you'd petition and 2-3 day you'd get a canned response of how they are sorry and they cant do or tell you anything and to use the in game /report. and the autoforaging was the bomb. hitting the keys every 1-2 minutes got tedious.

      Hell, back in the day (2006-2008), I ran 3-4 characters on a single computer. It was an ASUS motherboard with dual 1Ghz P3s, 4GB RAM, Windows XP Pro, and...stuff. I forget the rest. Definitely wasn't cutting edge, even for then, and I wasn't running any kind of automation; just the manual ALT-TAB between all 4.
      It'd sometimes get janky in the newer (Darkhollow and especially PoR+) zones, but all I did was turn off all the glitz on the 3 subordinate toons and make them look up all the time. Ah, glorious memories. 🥲
      Edit: Forgot to say what I played. Enchanter, Cleric, Shaman, Druid. Enchanter was my main and I was (and still am) a total buff whore for my silly pet; don't ask me why, I don't understand it either, but there it is. So all 4 required intensive hands-on oversight to work well together. I was in a rather high-end raiding Guild, had CoA and DPoB gear plus TSS raid items here and there. Dropped out in 2008, but they're all active again now, just gotta reorient myself and find out what I want from where. Was one of the best raid 2-boxers around with my Enchanter/Cleric, but the Shaman was becoming my main on raids simply because Enchanter usefulness fell off a cliff after 70.

    I knew nothing about MacroQuest/Redguides for a long time, but I played on several TLP servers over the past years, typically until PoP unlocks and I quit with everyone else. I was always envious and never understood how people got so far ahead and were able to do what they did. I always felt lagging behind and unable to keep up. The massive amount of AOE groups wore down on me. I often would get discouraged and log off. However, I was eventually introduced to MacroQuest by a friend and I started using it on a private EQ server that allows and encourages its use (Retributioneq). After a long learning process, I learned how to use the program, albeit limited due to my limited understanding of it. but after 4 or 5 months I started to understand it, learning its functions, how characters behave, the ini files, etc. Then it dawned on me; the people who get so far ahead on the TLP servers are using these programs. The odd behaviors I witnessed over the years, the way they function/behave, it all makes sense. To say it's used by players on TLP servers is a massive understatement. The top players/guilds/etc on any TLP server is completely flooded with players who use these programs. I have no actual numbers, but I would bet money a good 3/4ths of the top end population use them. I enjoy its use on the private Retribution server where it is allowed, but I hope everyone on live gets banned forever.

      Yeah seriously its every game, and has been this way since I started playing diablo 1 in the 90s. I've seen bots, hexed items, warping, summoning and pretty much everything else you can think of in hacks from 'layovers' with extra information to the ability to freeze effect temporary buffs. If someone can imagine it, then someone has probably already thought of it before you and started doing it. You have to roll with the punches in life though. In general even on classic servers that don't have it, you see people abusing mage pets etc or anything else they can in order to get ahead as well. Even without hacks, people will exploit everything under they possibly can to get around limitations the devs have put in place. Sometimes these exploits become standardized other times those methods get identified and "nerfed". Cheating or not, unless you are willing to exploit and undermine others you will never be able to be part of the cutting edge in any game.
