Who the hell designed the cacti for EQOA? When have you ever encountered a cactus that you could literally walk on the spines? I would rather be run through by a sword than take one of those in the chest.
Even better, these spines were glitched to where if you stood in the right spot, you could hit a creature while it could not hit you back. There were other places where similar glitches allowed players to single-handedly take down boss mobs.
South of Freeport there was a lake with a ton of undead roaming around the area. Two level 28 mummies spawned on either side of a stone. You could pull them separately, run to the cactus, get into it’s spine and kill it all without taking a single hit of damage.
It was much slower than leveling with a group but there was a satisfaction in finding a way around the game.
PS. You have no idea how long I looked for a screenshot of an F’n cactus from EQOA. So this is right outside of Freeport and is much more entertaining than a photo. Plus, at the end you see a cactus…
