I was seriously pissed that they nerfed the last part to include PHs. We camped graf for 6 hours the day before and I was on my way down to do it again when we got a random update off a gargoyle and saw that they had nerfed it. Oh well. Chalk one up to the squeemish.

If anyone thinks that this change is good for the game health you are seriously retarded. Giving the best item in the game for scouts and fighters from a quest that can be completed in a day completely screws up progression. You notice in tier 5 we didn't see this huge bitching about casuals not having the best loot, why is that? Because Sony started a trend with master day in tier 6 and the difficutly of the game has only gone downhill from there. Maybe with ROK they will get their heads out of their asses and actually add a sense of progression but I doubt it.

If you think this is about disco's wow you are even more retarded then I thought, this doesn't have anything to do with disco's it is about the games health. There needs to be a sense of progression you need to have to work to obtain the best items or whats the point of working harder towards a goal you will be under 5% better than the guy who plays 2 hours a week.

And just for the record my group got our discos mostly due to only letting vikompt say up for only the time it took to get to him from where we were camped.

These are the best items in the game? Seriously? Maybe I just haven't followed the item threads close enough but I could've sworn I saw more than one person say they should be better.

No, you know what you saw in T5? A massive combat and gameplay revamp. How many people can you remember that left for WoW right after T5 and didn't come back? T5 made raiders happy, and that was it.

If you really think a casual player will have this in a day or even a week you are absolutely crazy. I know a ton of casual players and most of them aren't even on Chapter 2 yet.

There is tricky balance to this which I don't think you guys are seeing. If you make it Claymore hard (and I'm talking pre-Tarinax nerfs), people get tired of it and quit. That's great for the people who complete it, but that means they've dumped development time into content a lot of the players won't care about or see. How many people are still doing the Peacock line? It ain't many.

No hardcore player wants to hear that, but it's a shift in the MMO market that is affecting every game.

Let's list the reasons why people aren't still doing the Peacock line, shall we?

I did the peacock quest on my alt. The reason why people don't still do it is because the weapons are weak compared to what you can get in the next tier.

Your statement/question is the same as "list the reasons why hardcore raiders aren't still doing DoF/KoS content, shall we?" It's because we've gotten everything out there worth a damn. There's not much worth anything more to invest the time.

Did he say all the items are the best in the game or just the scout and tank rewards? The others suck, true. But the saber (+7 to pierce, +5 dps, GDoH spread, proc) and gladius (spread, +5% block chance, proc) are badass and you will see everybody walking around with them in a week because the quests are just too goddamn easy and trivial.

Camping stuff in CMM while running around was fun...tedious but it gave you a sense that you were doing something that not everybody was up to; that in itself made the whole quest completion worth it. Any idiot can go and kill a few PHs every night, personally I wouldn't feel rewarded by doing so.

Furthermore, the fact that it was nerfed in two days is just amazing I mean...how many people bitched about the CMM step that they had such an urge to change the quest?

I did many of the peacock quests recently (in 2007) just for AA, but never got past Wrapping it all up. Nobody wants to farm eyes etc.

im not doing it b/c i already did...the only item that beat out the heal pris 2.0 is the staff off of growth and even for some classes it isnt optimal.
