Mythicals the tier 9 tangent

gungo — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:26:08 GMT

I know their are people that want their mythicals to be usable in tier 9 or like forever. My question is do people really understand what a pain in the ass it will be?

I understand why people want thier mythical to be required for the next 4 years. I just dont agree i rather have a new epic quest that replaces the mythical and be done with them. Just like the prismatic < prismatic 2.0 < soulfire < claymore < mythical. I dont think people understand how absolutely annoying it will be to redo old content over and over and over for at minimum the next 4 years.

Imho if people absolutely want to have the myth quest involved in tier 9, they should require the FABLED or MYTHICAL version to start the tier 9 epic quest. This way whomever needs thier tier 8 myth can solo or dou the fabled version and i wouldn't be bothered with doing VP for 4 years. Heck reuse the myth graphic for the t9 epic.

How many of you played eq1 and remember doing the epics, that shit was required for like 4 years and was hell on earth doing over and over and over. ESPECIALLY the cleric mythical. That shit wasnt replaced until like 5 expansions later (GOD expansion). Mark my words redoing mythicals will be complained about every time you recruit a person by nearly everyone in your guild.

EDIT: The reason i say 4 years because that is the what it will take to get to level 100 and for most classes to take whatever minimum amount of players is required to pass any DPS or script issues that automatically wipe them. Until that time it will be absolute hell.

Looking for armor with certain apperance.

I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a set of armor that players can get that matches the armor Verdek Al'rin is wearing in Gorowyn. He's the guy you sell scrolls to for status in the scouts guild area.

I think I've seen the chest piece he has on, but I dunno about the rest of the set. Just wondering if anyone knew.

Kukri's with Particle Effects?

Rakasan — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:20:05 GMT

Are there any kukri's in game with "glowy" effects?

I use 2 plain ol' ones in the appearance slots for my Dirge as part of his persona but really hope one day he can "step up" to something a bit more flashy....

Would you like to see Nunchucks in EQ2?

Crabbok — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:34:29 GMT

We haven't seen any new weapon wield styles, but we are getting new dance animations. I'm surious if you guys think it would be worth it to do the animations to allow Nunchucks in EQ2.

I do realize they coudl slack and make nunchucks work with existing animations, but I'm talking about actually doing new combat animations. This coudl allow for a whole new slew of weapons. Nunchucks, Swordchucks, the triple staff thing... Maybe even new particle effects weapons for mages.

I personally have been trying to get nunchucks added to the game for awhile, but the real hangup is that it would take the animators time to do the work. So My question for all of you is, if they did make new combat animations to support new weapons, like Nunchucks.. is that something you would like to see someday?

PRIMARY slot similar to Brace of Corporeal Darklight or The Arm of Erollisi?

I was just wondering if there are any sparkly orb items that look similar to Brace of Corporeal Darklight or The Arm of Erollisi that could go into the primary slot?

Thanks!

WTF? No loot?

idolatro — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:15:04 GMT

How is it that an Epic mob doesn't drop ANY loot? Not even a recipe scroll? I was in the Temple of Scale last night with my level 60 Dirge accompanied by a level 80 Shadowknight and 80 Warden. The Epics were not named...merely Temple Guardians (67^^^ Epic x2). They were dark orange...would that make any difference or does anyone know if they are set as no loot? We were there in an attempt to level my Dirge faster by fighting orange mobs...but the XP was nothing special (with 9% from being mentored and 50% from vitality) as the Epic only gave 1% XP. It just seemed that neither of them even dropped a small chest let alone anything better.

Coif of Tolled Bells

Omence — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:47:45 GMT

The activated effect on this item seems to be either broken or just crap... Being that I am on a pvp server the effect works differently in pvp combat. Where it reads When target uses a combat art this spell will cast Rampage on target of combat art.
-Inflicts 1155 disease damage on target
-Heals caster for 924

From how that reads its the same as cursed coif where it procs off every combat art.
On a pvp server there is a check box for PvP and once clicked it reads that it only procs off 20% on a successful combat art.

The problem is I have tested this numerous times in PVE and its still only 20% on a successful combat art... which is crap. For example
last night in Miraguls the first two trash mobs I parsed 17k with rampage activated... Rampage proced 3 times and only landed twice doing 59 dps... I casted 35 successfull combat arts.

So my question is: is this Item working as intended or is it broken for pvp servers? I would like some feedback from people on pve.

1 hand weapons with Flames on it

Anyone know of any 1 handers paladin usable with flames on it? I know of the soulfire weapons but that's all I could find.
