Default Re: Minutes from Dev Chat?

I am pleasantly surprised with the weapon smith changes. It's nice to see they compete with Legendary Weapons, but don't compromise the Fabled.

Now, if they fix the Coercer charm spell......but that might be asking for too much.

Kind of disappointed avatar loot isn't being looked into. There's a solid 10+ items in the loot table that are fucking terrible.

The only people who post on the Sony forums anymore are people who will lap up any shit that Sony puts in front of them. Fantastic.

It's been said before, but they need to clone Domino.

And can I ask does it REALLY take that long to go through a bunch of XML files and fix the item progression? Could the Timorous Deep stuff be nerfed a bit? Yes. Should it be nerfed all the way back to be in line with the anemic gear in old world content? No.

who the fuck cares about the gear from TD, any non noob outgrows the stuff in less than a week and it helps you level up quicker which was the main point. fucking whiners...

Because like earlier posters said, if they change all the other T1 through T5 gear in all the other zones to be comparible in stats and quality to the TD stuff, the T5 stuff will rival T7 and possibly T8 gear.

Using TD gear as the starting point, upping stats every tier for fluid progression, I can see how easily that T5 quested stuff WILL be just too leet.

Then they'd have to revamp ALL gear in the game and heck they haven't even got a good portion of the current stuff right, so whats the new stuff going to be like? Of course, revamping all gear, will result in combat and skills/spells changes to keep the game from turning into easy mode....

Just seems like a lot of freakin work to me...time better spent improving on other aspects of the game. However, there probably is a crop of interns that they need to find something for them to do other then fetch coffee...so who knows....

The next part needing attention is right after the new players leave TD or DWood, the level 20ish-30ish gap until RoV. They should work from the lowest undergeared tier up, if fresh blood is the goal.

Somewhere along the way I would make the Godking eye nameds something like 15-30 min respawns if not already. I see absolutely nobody redoing that questline otherwise, the way many redid the prismatics for a long time. And that's a shame for how cool the rewards are in their forgotten tier.

So wait...they are looking at ways of improving the item progression yet they aren't looking at any Avatar loot at all... sweet.

As a long time reader, but-no-poster, it hurts my brain, but i gotta say ilu is right /dies.
I'm an alt-o-holic myself with only a measely 67 wizard as top so far, and TD is just rediculous compared to ANY zone in-game. You wear that shit 10 levels after it's grey just because it's freaking fab, besides the mitigation-range. Makes questing in old zones feel like a waste of time except for the AA. You may disagree, but that's my stance as a WoW-evakuee /flameon
