Are your Epics quest step requirements stupid ? - Page 7

Epic quest should be just that, epic...and not epic in the "epic mob raiding" way. They be extremely long. Certain parts should be extremely hard. Other parts should be time consuming. And other parts should be extremely rare.

Epics in EQ1 took people months and months to complete so stfu and stop bitching about something that frankly, isnt a big deal.

I don't know, people will probably know from spoiler sites, same way they found out about Berik. Would be nice though if they added some "flavor" text to the examine windows to indicate something to the effect of "This item might be of great use to a high level XXX." That might at least get people asking about it so they could decide whether they want to hang onto it or not.

If the updates only occur if the item is looted, then I do agree it is a completely stupid design, and I have no clue how it works now so I really can't say. I was just saying it "may" be a good idea.

Edit: Used "idea" too many fucking times..lol

It updates by having all 4 robes (HQ one and the 3 grey-fucking-farm ones) in your inventory and then going to talk to an NPC who then takes the robes.

If it was a kill-the-mob to get the update, tahts fine, i wouldn't mind killing greys for that.

If it was a grey HQ, thats fine. You can still do those no problem.

But having to camp contested mobs, which will now be plat seller heaven for a rare legendary drop from long respawn mobs is FUCKING RETARDED.

you fucking idiot didnt get in ur brain that shit i have to farm now is bloody tradable so you have 200 retards sitting there atm waitin for the spawns to make the fast cash that would be a whole different story if 10 brigands only would sit there because they want their update

killing shit for hours to get an update or camping a named for a body drop auto update is one thing dealing with greedy retards and retarted chinese plat farmers another

or do you think ppl will leave it alone
id like to know if any other class has the same issue at some point of their quest progression i highly doubt it

perhaps one place where nagafen has an advantage... we just kill the bots who try to farm our shit! =)

i would tend to agree with you, but it looks like that isnt even the case. the coercer epic (non raid portion) was completed within 10 hours of the patch going live. whee. oh, and it appears as if the heroic versions are going to be on par with or slightly exceed VP quality loot. from heroic content... sigh...

and on the "epic in scale" note... i do think that these quests should have stressed every aspect of your character. crafting (L80 recipes, no specific tradeskill class requirement), harvesting, problem solving skills (contained within unique solo instanced content..), ability to solo tough mobs, ability to kill tough heroic mobs, etc.

I'll tell you after ours is found.

your a fucking moron. People are always going to do what they can to make extra money, Farming instances every day for masters is the same concept, Just be happy that while you can't camp this fuck 24/7 someone probably will be so they will start poping up on the broker. Stop crying that you will need to deal with a little competition and can't hide in an instance all by yourself

aye. i've kept my 2nd account logged into the brigand channel (i'm on nagafen, no access to WW channels) and between the constant scroll there and the HUGE amount of info coming through here it's really been interesting to see the whole community come together. people were even offering help in "other" classes WW channels.

btw, LFG, i meant to ask you this last night in game, but how much bandwidth have we sucked down on here in the last 24 hrs? =) we completely shattered the RoK release day Max Users Online #'s here, and it's held pretty constant since. ~3k users (still more than RoK release day) online at 6am EST this morning, hah.
