Uhhh for maybe a month there were three (3, III, 1-2-3) illusionist masters on the broker on Blackburrow. The group conc buffs that nobody casts.

The good ol' Arms Race Versus The Devs argument. And then, the story goes, the amazing way of acquiring this "Master III" turns out to be... another random drop!

These drops are pathetic. Horrible itemization SOE. The only ones that approach looking decent i can immediatly think of other instance loot / quest gear that's better. People with very poor control over their brain's ability to use itself were on the job for this one. If you add the stats/health/resists on most of them it's worse than a lot of t7 legendary. Even the mit is shit on some of it.... 6 months after ROK is released Sony releases an instance that has WORSE gear than the rest of the whole fuckin expansion? Thank god Darkfall is coming out 2008, won't have to deal with the fuckin retards pulling the strings over at the SOE shortbus factory.

Yep, and that's the way it should be. In fact, you should almost NEVER see M1 books on the broker. They carry a Fabled tag, and upgrading your AD3 to a M1 is akin to upgrading your mastercrafted/legendary to raid gear. The M1 books should drop almost exclusively off nameds in raids zones, with a VERY low chance to get them from heroic content.

Unfortunately, itemization and progression is so dicked up that every casual player has a sense of entitlement and a whining attitude to back it up. The entire foundation of itemization relies on a "baseline" of gear that's available from a certain tier of content, which is then used to tackle the harder tiers of content. ROK and it's solo/casual friendly itemization completely blew this concept right the fuck out of the water, but it'd been backsliding for a long time...

...so whatever, enjoy your smartloot M1 4-boxed farmfests or whatever the fuck you retards plan to do with this zone.

The way it should be is to get rid of these clown-ass spell tiers and improve these fucked-up hit rates. Giving everyone their masters may sound shockingly liberal but it is the simple and immediate way of effectively doing both.

No, it's the faggot ass easy way out that will just throw every problem under the rug, and it won't fix a thing.

Instead SOE should just man up and admit they have a fucked up tier system, and revamp that.

Giving everyone masters solves nothing, and sounds shockingly retarded, but I expect you to respond to this with some lame ass off topic comment that you think will make you sound smart, but will only reaffirm how out of touch you are with eq2, and how closed minded you are in general about game mechanics.

wah i can't get all my masters wah I wanna quit the game wah SOE is pulling some wild shit they shouldn't get away with! (like me not getting my masters in a time table I see fit!) waah!!!

Seems like thats all thats been posted here last couple days.

Let me know when a end-game raid zone goes obsolete because they messed up where loot comes from.

Ajeco · 06-09-2008, 12:56 PM

Tiering spells into apps, ads and masters was poor design to begin with, imo.

You should use a little more humility while you wince, and you should instead expect the proverbial broomstick up the ass any time you come at me in hate. Connecting the dots and long-term planning are neither the forte of you nor of our 763pp plat split friends (who are obviously on the same mental page as everyone else in the game who can shake masters from the trees with 763pp plat splits).

Some day you will have the luxury of affording another RPG besides EQ2, and without assistance you will understand the stupidity of having over 30 different versions of every spell in the game, whose middle upgrades are found in rocks and whose supreme upgrades drop off of green chickens. But if even then it doesn't click, I'll be here to help, even if you are still just a retarded puckering asshole.

If you have it in your head to quit EQ2, please do so immediately. After all, dead bitches don't fill out feedback forms!

So wait, I'm saying revamp the whole system to make it better, and actually fix the problems, and your saying give everyone masters because that will somehow fix the previous 7 tiers of broken shit.

Yea, I'm sorry I ever doubted your stupidity. Never again, never again.

Continue on though, you completely avoided my point and started spewing off topic non sense, you always seem to deliver!

If it is so easy to declare your points being unaddressed then I'll easily say you aren't making any concrete points to address. You're nothing more than Dr. No at this point.
