Default ZAM dev chat

Thanks to EQ2 wire for posting some info about the ZAM dev chat (I am blocked at work from that site). I found this quite interesting:

Quote:
In response to a question about more PvP options on PVE servers and giving casual PvP battlegrounds, Brenlo replied with: I would look for a big announcement in the very near future.
Wow, that is quite exciting. I am not a PvPer because I played on a PvP server in EQ1 and I don't like the idea of minding my own business and getting ganked. I prefer PvP when it is consensual like the arena, but doesn't suck. I think this will add a whole new spin to the end game T9 and I hope that gear is kept COMPLETELY separate between PvE and PvP. I don't think raiders should be able to take a single piece of gear into a battleground. I'm a raider so this isn't coming from a non raider's perspective. I think that someone that has no interest in raiding should be able to do well for themselves in the PvP world.

Is this due to the Arena being so overwhelmingly popular!!!!

Or to compete with Aion....or EQ2's NGE!!!

I wouldn't mind playing around with it, but i'm not really interested in PvP in a fantasy MMO. If i want exciting balanced PvP, I'll play a FPS.

Fuck that nonsense about not using your raid gear. That's the point to take the toon you spent time gearing up into the battle ground.

3 things it needs

1. serverwide/server leaderboards
2. shard token rewards to earn
3. appearance slot items, xp potions, etc to spend the tokens on

please don't put actual gear with stats as rewards soe!

PvE gear and PvP gear are usually designed around separate actual purposes rather than separate ideologies. Unless you're the first player who goes into a raid zone loaded with snare procs and +5 subjugation on everything.

As with anything eq2 related Im not getting my hopes up. The majority of the community is still here because they arent interested in PvP. Id expect to see more pissing and moaning than rejoicing. Oh and inc welfare epics.... erm welfare fabled.

How do you define raid gear?

Najena's Ring is for all intents and purposes raid gear.
Bloodthirsty Choker is comparable to raid gear.

What about Ward of Elements T3 armor? Everyone has that. And you can't get back T2 without spending another 150 shards. So we should have to play naked?

A good point, CC procs like from justice cloak, the fear ear/wrist out of nizara, and various items with mit/resist rank way higher in a pvp setting then some of the best raid gear. On pvp servers right now crit and crit bonus mean almost nothing because everyone has 100% crit mit.
