As with all quest rewards, even epic ones, there's a time and a place where each is upgraded. Unless you're a priest... in which case, Prismatic 2.0 and claymore = awesome for you, grats.

Instead, I'll hang on to my *LEGENDARY* gear that I got from killing Godking... for power regen to never be used except in drastic need.

What needs to happen more than anything, is have it be something that *all* classes will use, hold on to, and never replace. Rediculous that only certain classes benefit from their epic quest lines for more than... oh I dunno, 3 weeks?? If they're hardcore raiders.

Fair and balanced my ass on the quest rewards...

Don't give us more weapons, or if you do, make it hit like a truck with very little stats and effects. I don't wanna dodge AEs randomly but hit like a wet noodle. Decrease combat arts of named encounters by 10 or 5%... that's like decreasing ice nova by 5% it's still gunna hurt. Hell, if the melee weapons proc'd a group heal relatively often, I'd prolly still use it.

My true rant comes to play with the fact that hardcore raiding priests who get the claymore never have to look for an upgrade, cause even if you find one, it's going to be marginal at best... Yet scouts only have to wait til Grinning Dirk drops or Dirk of Negativity to find a reward that is about 9,000x beter than the claymore. Tanks are kinda self explanitory, either you took the tower shield or you had better be a zerker/crusader. Mages get a pretty good item from their reward too.

All in all, it's a great quest to grind AA and level xp off of, but for the reward of getting access to a (at the time) FUCKING HARD zone, especially while competiting over contested mobs for the x2 access mobs in Ascent for the items. Killing 4 dragons, then *finally* getting in. The rewarding items were hardly irreplacable. Same could be said of the godking weapons. Again, unless you're a priest... fucking healers...

so so tired of weapons that suck from these long long long quest lines.

LOVED the first prismatic. You had to run through zones getting click ables that few knew about and raid a few raid zones and beat Darathar and it was over. Hated Peacock where you did pointless quests like go click a pot run somewhere click another pot or the classic get 8 runes and put it in this thing that popped an NPC that gave you a quest......

The worst had to be claymore(getting worse over time??) the only real reason i think any mage in fact did the quest was for Fitzpizzles Misty protector which got nurfed to hell at release of EoF. This series what FULL of pointless quests in retarded zones you had to kill stuff to get around. Countless heroic named camps. (which i mostly got a group to get to the spawn location and they gave up and i soloed the named) Once it took me 2 months to decide that there was one part of that whole series that was worth getting i finally got to the raid part of the quest and finished it within a week. If you are making weapons(end tier weapons) for raiders or highly equipped players make them useful** yes I have decided SoE putting an AoE immunity on a weapon makes it possible to say they are designed for raiders** that they should be insanely good, in fact better then all other weapons of that tier for that class, and shouldn't be hard to get because you have to spend 20 hours in each zone finishing 12 heroic quests. Raid weapon = you get from beating raid content on a raid story line.

Sure throw in some gimp language quest or w/e. But if the new quest line has like 40 quest in Kaladim or 10 quest in Castle Mistmore etc etc and i find out it has some decreases threat position by 1 on horrible proc chance THEN to find out it doesn't even work. I don't see myself ever doing another quest line

They did go back and make things like the Claymore shield better or w/e.
And they did go back and make it where people had a choice wither they wanted a 1 hander , 2 hander, shield or w/e. But its the quest and the accomplishment that is half of enjoying this part of each tiers content. Second part comes from using the item and enjoying the fruits of hard work that cant be replaced by 2hrs a week in some raid zone that drops item that are better then what you spent countless hours trying to achieve.

Everyone learns from mistakes. hey ya , never brag in DoF that you pwn at dpsing <<personal favorite>>

really hope quest dev's have one of these

SoE's learn from mistakes list

-Lets make the quests hard to find and spread about 10-14 out through every zone in the expansion.
-Lets make the raiding part of the series short.
-Lets make 30 or more quests in the series.
-Lets make items they will replace if they are good raiders, they should replace them anyways.
-Lets make the quests heroic so everyone can do it so its considered common and we will give it crappy itemization.

let me be among those to offer up a big "fuck you" to the developers for all of us who didn't care to do the peacock series, or leveled an alt to take the place of our original main and skipped it, and just happen to live in freeport.

fuck you.
