EQPlayers is live finally

[CaiserSoze]

Well, EQPlayers is live now..but..for some reason... apparently Begging is officially a tradeskill.... /boggle.. have fun checkin it out, the site is a bit buggy though, probably way overloaded with hits...

www.eqplayers.com is the direct addy for the eqlive eqplayers site. =)

Just a heads up... your scores could possibly be off... a score may reflect yesterday's actual score, while on the same toon another score may be off by weeks. No doubt they'll work it out soon as their site depends on the data being accurate, not guesstimates.

Also, the site is down (404-type down). Try during off-peak hours if you can.

so far their trade skill system atm is screwed up. Its counting any trade skill as a trade skill for total meaning someone who doesn't have 300 in all main trade skills could out rank someone who has done them all : / seems little unfair hope they fix that.

Yeah apparently there is now a 2300 club, available to dark elven sk's somehow =) Trying to figure that out.

EDIT: Ahh, AT & Begging

2531 Total Tradeskilles on Vazaelle, go figure.

EDIT: Ahh, AT & Begging

AT?

I *really* hope this will only show the main tradeskills (maybe main + class tradeskills) at the end. Otherwise the value will be worth nothing. Roleplay-wise I refuse to beg anyone for anything, I chose to play a rogue for a reason after all.

I sent a mail to the Platform team about that average calculation yesterday and gave them the proper way to handle it

(I think AT = Alcohol Tolerance)

I know that they are including a few things they should not

[Xulan]

(I think AT = Alcohol Tolerance)

Yes sir =)


And for all, if you want to force an update, type:

/eqplayersupdate

once a day max, from what I have read.

I sat down with a calculator and it is calculating my total from the 7 basic skills (rather out of date! but maybe that is lucky because it gave me all odd numbers to check with) + research + begging. It's the only possible combination that yields my total from my skills. It definately isn't counting my Alcohol tolerance or fishing, but begging is for sure in there.

And despite having toggled everything to private on my account, when someone goes in and searches for specific skills I'm still popping up with my precise skill listed (yes I had a friend test this). I've read they're putting in a change for that, but in the meantime I guess that is one more reason I am actually pleased my skills are considerably out of date on the site.

There's been some outsourcing to PPI Inc. lately.

Nota Bene, this is only a joke. I myself am something of a code monkey, and this is a funny site.

Thanks a lot Ngreth.

Now something else but still related. Not sure if this would be more a bugfix or a feature. I do like the (eq2 style) skill bars a lot because they show your skill as well as your current cap for the skill. For obvious reasons the tradeskills are all set to the 300 cap atm. It would be really cool to have those at the real caps also, even though this woudl require some coding. So while you do not have all Tanaan AAs the tradeskills should show capped correctly also.

[Olidan]

Yeah I have like a bunhc of unfired idols equipped lol

[Bobaten]

For research (and I assume the other class based skills) anyone who is high enough level to start the skill, but hasn't yet done the initial training at a guildmaster, shows as having 254 skill.

Well... unfortunately... becuase of the why the system in eq works... it is not 100% feasible.

Say you buy the AA early, and none of your skills are even at 300. Which bar gets the 300 cap?

Sure the logic can say... "this is over 200, move the cap to 300" but it is just a guess.

And then there is the counter "new player" issue. They might think they could get NO skill over 200 because all the bars are at 200.

So there are some issues no matter which way it is done, and in this case, simplicity may rule the day.

As an update to a previous post, my total is showing 2300 as well, but my begging is not very high, so the only way I could reach 2300 as a Halfling is if it counted only my 7 main and the 200 in fishing. It may be grabbing the highest one or two skills outside the 7 main, or something else is wrong. Either way it's not an accurate total of what we call tradeskills
