Speaking as one, my complaint isn't the investment so much that mythicals by and large have effects that are how many abilities should have worked in the first place or had AA for. Bards, chanters and Inq's are the best immediate example and speaking as a necro, the biggest boost I get from the myth pet is that it's not paper. It's not just that the myths are powerful, it's that they feel like that's the way things should be all their own and I honestly can't say if that's an example of great item design or terrible class ability design though I lean to the latter.

when I first saw some of the effects on myths ... all I could do was laugh and think to myself ... whoever is making this shit has no fucking clue what they are doing.

I don't know why you guys are still talking about this. I solved it a few pages back.

1. the myth is now game defining
2. create artifact slot move myth to it via quest 2.0
3. balance myth effects for all classes by making it into a raidwide aa type buff.

This one item could also be used to balance raids once and for all forcing the most advantageous raid makeup to include all 24 classes.

mythicals should become a third charm slot with slightly reduced stats

I agree.

More slots is ridiculous at this point. Just remove every effect but the core weapon stats and turn those into passive and toggle effects for anyone who is flagged with quest completion. Just as you get passive and toggle effects for being flagged as a certain level or having made certain AA choices. Not hard at all.

If heroic gear were overpowered then I would be wearing it on my main. So you say "Najena Ring". Then I say, name me another. Silence. Who knew, the casual had the chance to preserve "property rights" for the pro too.

Gaige did not mention the even more overpowered raid gear youre prolly wearing on your main.

Illuminator · 11-20-2009, 06:47 PM

Wear your happy heroic set in a raid zone and tell me how overpowered it is. Hell I wouldn't be caught dead with that shit in a heroic zone.

Gaige · 11-20-2009, 07:46 PM

Yes, because everyone wears heroic gear in raid zones. Quit being a dumbass. TSO T2 shard gear is overpowered for heroic content, which rewards it.

Adornments.

Duvall · 11-20-2009, 10:06 PM

Right now the vast majority of players getting there mythical get it by paying money for a spot in the required raids. So, unless SOE likes this trend they need to do something about it or the situation will just get worse. Honestly a game where you have to pay just for a spot in a group is ridiculous.
