Are you happy with your Epic?

Vainamoinen · 02-15-2008, 12:54 PM

This poll is simply to gather numbers and see what the community, as a whole, thinks of their epics (both versions).

I don't want this to de-rail into a "which class has the best epic" or "what things need to be changed about our epic" sort of discussion/argument. I think that if we can just get some pure numbers together, it will be quite clear to the developers behind these weapons that they have missed the mark.

I've made it multiple choice so that both versions can be considered.

Please vote only once for EACH version.

I am content with both of the epics. Yes, it could be better, but I will take it as is.

stop spamming

Vainamoinen · 02-15-2008, 01:35 PM

I'm looking for feedback from each of the classes... dumping a poll like this into one of the general forums isn't gonna produce any meaningful numbers. If you have 24 alts, I apologize for the spam.

edit: thanks for fixing the poll options.

Based on the feedback I've gotten based on my earlier post, I think I've pretty much nailed the feeling of virtually 100% of the high end raiding brigand community.

My original commentary on the mythical epic, with suggestions for change can be found here:

Thanks, Yob. Really what I'm looking for is just some numbers to prove that it isn't a vocal minority of the community that is unhappy with these rewards. Of course, the poll requires a shitload of votes to make it effective, but I think that some decent numbers to back up the complaints and suggestions will help push things through. Its a simple enough concept, I'm just hoping people will take their time to vote and produce some meaningful stats.

Also, I'd like to see the fabled versions touched on as well... I think it has to remain a community effort and every facet of players should be addressed.

I think one of the problems you'll have with a poll like this, and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way or anything, but a significant % of the users here won't even ever obtain this item, and have trouble accurately rating it due to prospective. Let's not kid ourselves, this item is targetted at the high end raid community. To anyone else, any of these mythical items look amazing, and we look like a bunch of whiners, but to people that really understand the mechanics involved in the high end game, its painfully obvious how poorly this item really stacks up. Case in point, I spend around 40% of the raid above 400 haste with this item. So while 40 haste might look great to some, those of us that are already geared out see precisely 0 benefit from the 40 haste (haste caps out at 200, and really stops becoming useful base 140ish), and realisticly, we're the group that the item is targetted towards.

I really hope people are able to step outside their element when rating these items, and rate them based on their target audience.

It goes both ways too, I think I've personally been a little hard on the heroic version, and realistically, based on the work involved to acquire the item, it's really not that bad. It stacks up pretty well against some of the better dropped weapons currently in game.
