Expansion 6 : Drinal or Odus? - Page 31

a similar problem exists for conjurors. Our mythical gives us a new pet, so will that pet level with us passed 80? If not, then how would it compare to the T9 mage pet? A simple solution for us would to simply make the mythical weapon buff the current pet based on which pet you are using instead of it being a separate pet.

I think if they want to do a 2.0 version of the mythical, it needs to be completely separate.

Sorry as others have stated it cant be separate unless their is a very long tedious quest to have somebody catch up.

When epic 2.0 came out in eqlive I remember many upon many people complaining they didnt have 1.0 so they couldnt get 2.0. Remember eq1 had cockblocks and farmers that controlled certain mob spawns to make a dam buck (cough POF mob for shaman cough).

So a non 1.0 quester had a chance but had to do a LONG tedious quest to catch up. They didnt get 1.0 but it flagged them as having it to progress.

Should our epic scale up? Yes till they figure out what to do. I hope so since they plan to scale VP to levels. I hate for a new troub maestro or aria spell to come out and my myth be worthless.

Do I think somebody who didnt do 1.0 have a right to 2.0? no!

Yes if they they did a long ass hard pre quest. Not some lame ass go kill 20 rhinos here and their shit.

Tedium in EQ2? Surely you jest, good sir.

QUESTGIVER: hay, go run for 15 minutes and give Ratz this item
RATZ: hay, thx, go give my report to QUESTGIVER
QUESTGIVER: Thanks! Tell Ratz that I love him
Ratz: awww, how cute, hey, there's a panda problem here, gather 15 panda paws, but they must be pristine

(every 13th panda drops 1 claw, 4 group members need claws)

FUCK

With the spell rename changes, they might be trying to have the effects still take. Stupid, but just a thought.

Deson · 06-01-2009, 03:30 PM

Not that stupid. They already stated that macros with just the spell main name will pick the highest level spell in the line.

I'd be more interested in going back through normal EQ history that even pre-dated EQ1. There's a pretty full history with lots of stuff to possibly explore.

I liked Takish'Hiz stuff in the LDoN expansion, but that's just a small example... There's plenty of stuff from the Combine era as well that could be worth discovering.

I still like the water/underwater expansion idea, since the cataclysms most of Norrath is covered with water anyway... makes for good (re)discovery possibilities.

OK, go back to Mythical discussion.

I agree. The lore of the Norrath game setting is rich and developed. There is plenty to build on. besides, lets face it. Most attempts at new lore have sucked balls. Thank you Vhalen, you incompetent, revisionist fucktard. At least your gone so we don't have to suffer through any more of your masturbatory storylines.
