Yep, we killed drussk the other day and raid started to move to next mob and someone said...."anybody going to open the chest?"

it is pretty sad when the loot is so bad you forget to open the chest.

BTW grats to NPU for the kill. If I was in that raid and saw that garbage loot after all the work you put in I probally would have quit the game.

No no.
You get your whole raid mythicals, beat Trak.

THEN

Everyone Betrays, and you try again.

THEN
rinse and repeat.
DUH
:P

I hear if you beat trak with 6 different characters on the same account you get a new intro movie.

95% of VP mobs are loot pinatas too, you hit them gently and they pop a chest. (well, ok, more like 60% of mobs now! :P)

Not saying that justifies it, but one would expect for being the boss of the expansion, with REQUIRED epic weapons per design and all, it would be itemized slightly better than a 4 mannable mob.

This seriously is not suppose to be taken a wrong way, but i've been out of the dev rumor loop purposely for awhile.

Did they just fix trak the same day he was killed or something?

Was just curious if all a sudden people are going to go in there, 20 guilds kill trak and no one goes in again.....again.

He wasn't killed the same day but when LU 43 went in they did change him. The 4% chance to do a 2% heal on a successful spell on Trakanon was removed. Obviously it was a stealth nerf that only people going into his lair that day would know or guilds who had inside info. I am not pointing any fingers cause we all know NPU has a coder in guild, but the encounter is still hard. I don't know what else was changed about him but that buff stood out.

In any case I am just glad to know his loot is so super awesome that everyone is gonna wanna spend weeks trying to beat him. /sarcasm.

the only good part about this expansion was the inital day of the patch when I logged in - enjoyed exploring the new zones...beat almost all the new content overland and had a blast with 4 of my guildies / friends in RL.

Since then it has been one giant cluster of a dissapointment. Nothing has worked correctly - no upgrades are legit...half of my fury gear is still cloth I think (I honestly dont even bother to check anymore since it doesnt matter). The epics get cockblocked by dev's for anyone but a slim minority of elite raid guilds...and the fights are barely even fun.

I had a lot of fun the first time through all the new stuff up through phara - but honestly I have zero motivation outside mythicals to go back and do it again. And it isnt a loot problem - its just a fun problem.

Part of what made the last expansion great was the usefulness of gear upgrades from EH etc. You could see a drastic improvement in what you could solo / duo when you got them. This expansion I am pretty sure I can still only solo the stuff I could the day it was released...and can only duo the same stuff I could the day it was released save a few mobs. And even those are a complete waste of time to bother with.

Zero heroic content - broken raid content - broken game. Devs you shoud just ignore VP - leave it as is...the mythical zone...and make an entirely new raid zone ... THEN maybe - just maybe that will salvage this PoS expansion. I will say it again - scrap redoing items - and redoing the encounters - leave that broken shit the way it is - move on and make something actually fun.

OK so i'm curious if NPU have a coder or a developer from SOE in their ranks, which is supposedly common knowledge and gives them blah blah advantage, why doesnt SOE do anything about this shit?

I mean if you have a actual developer killing mobs with NPU and they themselves can see exactly how crappy itemisation is, why does nothing change?

Fomka · 03-08-2008, 10:22 PM

because itemization is alright in their mind, and raid progression too.
