Wanted to make sure everyone saw this. Please start a thread in your class sections and post suggestions about how this should be handled for your class.

Thank you

the proof is other games that are considered more hardcore and complex then eq2 such as vanguard and eq1,,,,,,there is no "button smashing" like there is in eq2

also, since when does spamming buttons every half a second mean more difficult game play? Common sense tells you otherwise.

making CA and Spells worth more by combining them, just makes it more meaningful and gives timing of CA's more important. CA will use more power and have longer timers,,,this opens up more strategy.

why people say less ca is dumbing down the game, they just have no clue, you still have the same abilities you just have to be more careful when and where to use em. EQ2 players been conditioned that whack a mole is hard----when all the facts point to the opposite is true

The reason Eq1 is more "hardcore" is simply that the game is harder, encounters are generally well thought out and dynamic. The way SOE has designed this game is that to get the most out of your character you have to intelligently spam. If the reduce that and dont balance it out with the other aspects of the game its gonna blow. Encounters are easy as fuck atm which is what we are all basing stuff off of, so unless SOE really increases the dynamic output of their encounters than spell consolidation would just make fighting easy encounters even easier. But dont worry, no matter how easy they make it you will still suck at your class and there is basically zero ways to consolidate the assassin class without losing something.

Icon5 Re: Spell consolidation

This is a game breaker for me. I am NOT a hardcore raider but if these changes go live then I will be leaving without a backwards glance.

I am NOT a moron and require a game to expect some thought in order to succeed. EVE ftw!

Haveing this implemented will make the game so every moron and his/her retarded sibling be able to have the same skill as everyone else IMO. If you cast a lot of debuffs/buffs you would no longer have to be aware of the ones you need cast at a certain time or encounter. You just hit one button and PAZAMM the debuffs/buffs you need are up. No skill or thaught involved. DPS classes will get hurt the most. If you consolidate CA's that means less to cast wich equals less DPS.
Just my 2cp to this stupid shit SOE does to make it easier fo idiots to play.
