How can you possibly say its not half completed? Where's Shard of Hate, a raid instance promised BEFORE ROK launch? Where are our epics? Where are the avatars? FFS, where is proper itemization? Why are there pieces of loot dropping that are bruiser/monk only and contain +spell damage?

Saying ROK was "mostly polished" is like saying that the car you bought was "running great" even tho they forgot to install the stereo and AC. Sure, the car runs, but its missing some pretty important parts that really add to the value of a car.

want to see an example of an overbuffed mob? Ask any Lv.80 player on a PvP server about Charmed Mobs.
Ever see a non-Raid mob one-shot a player for 14,000 damage melee attack? Or how about a non-raid mob 3-shotting a player with their spell hitting for 4,000 each?

There are so many shithole problems with EQ2 right now there's days I just don't want to log in, and I'm sure there are a lot of other players that feel the same way. It could be a really great game, RoK could have been a really great expansion.. but all I have seen from the new people that have been brought in is shortcuts.
I use to design shit for an MMO, it took me a month alone to come up with a rough design for character skills & abilities. that's just the ground work, mostly conceptual with little testing. Talking about another month-2 at least of testing to make sure there's no large flaws such as game breakers. Not to mention the implementation into the actual game itself which was and still is live, that's another month of testing at least. And this is for a game that is not near as complex or graphic intensive as EQ2.
So them throwing together an expansion in about 10months reeks of shortcuts taken.. which aren't always bad. But from what I have seen in RoK, too many shortcuts were taken and too much of a rush was put on it to get it out by the holiday season.

Anyways, i've said my piece and will leave you all to it.

aduros

Btw love your condescending tone. You act like it was the players who broke arrows, and the devs are doing us a huge favor by fixing our mistake. Genius.

Yes, it's a trend. Soon SOE will "find itself apologizing for broken content." It's laughable. SOE is not responsible for the shit that comes out, don't like arrows, betray to assassin duh.

I speak for more than a few gamers in saying that the MMORPG industry is Square's birthright because of the bedrock foundation of their unparalleled RPG's for almost two decades. But they have to want it.

As for the guild per server that is heartily enjoying VP and if the eclipse is just right, clearing it, they're going extinct. Rating this and future expansions in terms of raiding is a waste of time. From this perch, in me apologizing for the back-and-forth flak and drama that can bruise people who try to seek the truth via this site, I can see that Fyreflyte deserves a shit ton of credit for restoring dignity to the non-raider, and making it possible to get out of that sad business altogether.
