You guys totally missed the loss of about 40 damage on the high end of the weapon as well.

i agree about the anaphylaxis.. shit was way too easy to get for the strength of that weapon. i went back to bisected saber as soon as i saw the updated weapon. petitioned for my adornment back too, and i better fucking get it.

and i will jump on the blue shiny bandwagon with another hearty WHAT THE FUCK to sony. i spent a lot of time and plat collecting all the rare shinies, got my goggles a few days ago, and spent a shitload of time farming blue shinies in sebilis because i heard there was a decent helm. i complete the collection for the scout helm, it's pretty nice (and for the time/money required to get it not out of line), and BAM, 3 days later it's nerfed to shit. they halved the proc rate AND the proc strength. plate one was nerfed completely to shit. mage one nerfed heavily as well. i think the healer one always kind of sucked (no one asked for that when i linked it in the trading channel), but whatever.

why even have rare, normally invisible shinies spawn next to L84/85^^^ mobs if the collection rewards are going to be dicked over anytime someone complains about them. i'm soooooo fucking sorry not everyone has the time or platinum to get the goggles and get a group together to go camp hard dungeons for shinies. don't bitch about it and ruin that shit for the few that do.

To be fair Firamas, that helm was overpowered for the ease of obtaining as well. Any brawler could go get you a set in a couple of hours. You turn it in and had one of the best DPS helms in game, if not the best for a scout. I never even had to go look for shinies; I bought them off a friend and voila! I really can't blame them for nerfing it, having seen so many of the fabled helms so far. Only 1 has even come close to being able to compare to that one.

What ticks me off about the whole thing is SoE gave no warning for the nerf in the Reet collection. Ive seen posts made about up coming nerfs to Anapylaxis and the treasured gear with procs but nowhere could i find a post about the Reet collection. WAY TO DROP THE BALL SoE! I guess ill learn to try and not get upgrades for at least 3 months after the next expansion comes out. Fuckin fuckwads!

If there's ample time to do so, and the change may impact your decisions about acquiring certain loot, I try my best to get the message out. In this case, there was a large imbalance that was brought to my attention right as a hotfix was about to go out. I decided to fix it now rather than next week (by which point even more people would have acquired the item and been upset that it was changed).

That's what you have a test server for, AND! You could have at least put it on test and tested it before changing it. That would have solved giving noticed as people can read test notes and know there's a potential change coming. I liked that chain helm, and I didn't think it was THAT overpowered. If anything, I would have left it as is and made the blue shinies no drop.

The Anaphylaxis nerfs weren't that bad, and I saw them coming a mile away tbh. Even though they shouldn't have gone in game the way they were, the nerfs were needed I guess for the ease with which the items were acquired and I still <3 fyreflyte.

I don't see how that would have helped "warn" anyone. If you acquired the items before the announcement, they'd still be getting changed. The only difference would be that more people who don't read Test notes would have picked the items up, then been potentially disappointed when the effects were altered.

I know myself and others appriciate the time you take to post in this forum about item changes and other issues on eq2. Its a big help to those who browse eq2.flames and not the uptight regular eq2 forums.
Although i do appriciate your efforts im still pissed. Can you please tell us why u rushed to make changes to the Reet Knight collection other than the issue of having even more people upset if you waited another week? Why did this item go live at launch? What difference was this item really making in an overall raid or group enviroment? not much IMO! Sure my parse was higher (its supposed to be with having gained 10 more levels) with this item but my auto-attack was still 45-50% of overall damage output. Which isnt a big difference from EoF!

I have to say I was dissapointed the helm was nerfed - Anaphylaxis definately needed it, but the helm.. I mean despite how easy it was for a Brawler to get, just how much it was nerfed is horrible. Honestly a personal suggestion would be to return the proc rate to what it was before and leave the effect halved. The tank helm as well just half what the effect was and keep the proc rate the same.

For a blue shiney collection that seems like a pretty good solution. I understand if it's too late to change it back, but please do consider. It was overpowered, than completely overnerfed.
