New Trademarks for EQ and EQ2... - Page 8

They still have the LDoN option - all instances tailored to small group, full group and raid - easy, hard, impossible.

With all the camp factions built in to get game adornments vs crafted adorns, socketed armors, etc.

And who says that the AA trees have to be character trees? could be group and raid trees that earn points when you are the group/raid leader.

They have a huge resource for timesinks, all tried and true from EQLive...

I can't wait to see the loot he drops.

Imo they need to add a general AA tree. There should be one line that increases health, power, spell damage, melee damage, run speed, avoidance, etc. And maybe a racial AA tree also that way people could individualize their chars even more. Something similar to EQOA maybe.

Shadow of Oddysey ....

After RoK who wants to place bets it will just be one solo instance, gigantic maze that you have to play for 4 weeks solo just to get to next lvl cap?

Sounds like another exclusive for the WinWin Situation?

I like the generalist AA tree idea.

I'd be more willing to bet that they'll over-correct the opposite direction of RoK and make it 95% heroic shared dungeons/overland heroic mobs with few quests for them combined with 1 short, low level solo instance that has a 5 day lockout timer on success.

There is no happy medium with SOE...

For storyline just say that the shadow infusion process basically reversed their natural tendencies. Finally put some of those old world factions on my persona screen to use again.

That wuld be cool for sure. It wouldnt even be heard to implement. Now all the halflings in Rivervale have Vision of Fury eye particle effects, and will activly stealth up and hunt you and shit.

Now good old Gaurd XXX, who protected you as a n00b, riding his fiery steed in Freeport has some serious anger control issues, Vision of Fury eyes, and a raid wide DoT that eats softies.

What if you could battle your way into Gorowyn, climb to the top, flip the switch of "o shit!" and outside on the beach the dragon/kraken of the deep rose up to drop a salty smacketh down on your raid?

Lucan D'Lere is really a shadow man, and if you get deep enough into NFP you could zone into that giant floating shard/castle thing and tell him you dont wanna eat cake, you want a good old fashioned loaf of bread? (Viva la resistance!)
-------------------------------

Shit like this would be easy to implement, all the mobs, design, textures, graphics, everythign is already there. You just gotta toggle on some darkness, add a little spooky music, and BAM! instant mirror world.

Let the devs focus on writing cool encounters and cool scripts, bang out some unique heroic content that actually means something, and stop this travel from zone x to zone x to some unrelated dungoun with no story bullshit.

That would be cool imo.
-----------------------------

Of course what well get is what was stated above, welcome to the giant isle of lag, where you can circle jerk your way around the lag maze, until you eventually get to fight Lord Lag himself, for an awesome set of gear that looks like t5 Mastercrafted in a new color set, and ever so slightly improves your power regen, cause the whole world is at the crit cap nowadays.

But I can dream cant I?
