All I hear is whine whine whine. Would that it were wine wine wine, but then this would be a forum about eating frogs and snails instead of eq2.

My concern is, will hate transfers be lost in the revamp do-over, and are paladins going to be made single-target defensive tanks?

Don't worry, they will keep it all secret.
The SoE Secret Service and without critic, communication and testing,
it will get fucked up.

And before revamping, they should fix all those not working skills and those obsolete skills, those that nearly all mobs are immun to.

But...
that would be logic, that would be buisness like the rest of all companies do. So, no chance

Fan Faire is just full of the most deluded sycophant players around. I was cringing watching the video of the dev showing off the shaders update. I swear I thought at one point some of the people in the audience were going to run up and blow the guy.

As we all know by now, once SOE decides to do something they will do it. It happens all the time, they ask the playerbase opinion on shit, the playerbase responds, and they make the changes anyway a few months later.

Woo hoo.....output from the graphics department. No content, no mobs. Who cares the zones LOOK "awwww some".

Who'd be a Fan Faire Fan Boi? Someone who gets a free pass to the Beta in order to shout "woo hoo....awwww.....some" at every opportunity. That's who.

The attraction of SOE was 24 classes with varying degrees of competance within specific circumstances being complementary to one another. Why do all healers have to be equally viable within specific tight criteria? Why do all fighters have to be able to generate the same degree of hate in the same zone? Why am I even bothering writing this? The whiners have got their way and the lazy devs have finally given up trying to appear to earn their salaries.

I fear that the next expansion may well see me giving up on the franchise.

My thinking on priests now is that there should only be one priest class. I think the gods should be given a complete overhaul. Let a priest be defined by his god, not by his class.

The fundamental mechanics of fighters should not be fucked with, except for brawlers who should be deleted from the game. But SOE is determined to put an end to EQ2.

Actually, some of the most vocal people at FanFaire were the people who want to see things changed the right way, not the easy way.

Don't assume that everyone there was a SOE fanboi.

That's an interesting thought, but it might just end up being the same as it is now, with druids+Tunare, clerics+health, and shaman+Berto or whatever. Anyway, I doubt they'll ever reduce or increase the number of classes.

No, i believe the changes are for casual fighters in PUGs with raid players. As it is now, a casual tank with no mythical and just instanced gear stands almost no chance in tanking a mythical raid dpser.

But then again, i have no idea what you mean by 'DD'.
