Ohhhh the true reason this post came about. Onyx is getting upset that factioned sides are going to have access to mythical weapons and slightly help to even the lopsided playfield, creating slightly less unfair fights (don't worry you still have access to both classes, we haven't taken away ALL of your easymode). Friggin insecure-about-your-own-skill-without-overwhelming-odds guild lol.

Oshef

Basically.

Ayuk

thats WHY they are crying they dont WANT the skilled players in faction who can own any of them in a 1v1 or 6v6 with a mythical it evens the battle field WAY to much for them

and its amazing not 2 days ago in one of the other threads they were claiming how Mythicals MADE little difference in a pvp fight and NOW its an issue..go figure..

It isn't going to affect us at all. We have no problem beating Kraken, and they have full Mythicals. So a small number scattered throughout the Freeport and Qeynos populations won't affect us in any way.

But to understand the issue, you first must consider (a) those willing and able to exile and back and pay Kraken to get their Mythicals and (b) those who those mythicals will be used against.

(a) is mostly hardcore gankers who either solo or PVP in groups of 2 to 6. These people usually only PVP based on extreme advantage. They will sit in immunity for one half hour after evaccing from a fight, until their evac is ready again. They almost never try and engage in a fair fight, but initiate PVP only when they have an extreme advantage, such as against solo players or groups they outnumber who are already fighting mobs. These people mostly camp sokokar posts waiting for greens and blues to fly in, or quest turn in NPCs so they can take money from greens and blues after they do quest turn ins. This is pretty much exclusively how these people PVP. >90% of them are rogues and preds, the PVP easymode classes. And Kraken is now making them more powerful.

(b) Those who these mythicals will mostly be used against are described above - the weak, the downtrodden, the lower level players trying to level. It is already miserable for soloers and small groupers trying to level on Nagafen, and Kraken is now making it even more difficult for them.

So I very much realize that Kraken equipping these people with mythicals isn't going to have much or even any affect on my gameplay. I play a defiler, and it would be pretty stupid for me to try and solo pvp much on my character anyway. My character is the opposite of a gank class - when I win in solo pvp, it's almost always in a 2 to 5 minute fight. Compare that to these gank classes who Kraken is equipping with mythicals, who usually win fights in a few seconds after getting the drop on someone who doesn't have tracking.

What I'm trying to point out is that Davram is not Robin Hood, and Kraken is not a band of Merry Men. They are lining their own pockets and fucking over all the lower level players on Nagafen in city factions.

You're a fucking idiot. My only consolation is that you are a low budget fucker who probably can't take Kraken up on their offer, so you won't get a mythical.

But mark my words, they will be used against you. And that gives me a feeling of joy. So fuck it, I hope Kraken does do this, because that will further ruin your gaming experience, and cause you to cry more, which will make me happy.

I no longer care what Kraken does or doesn't do. As Gaige pointed out, it really won't affect me anyway, except perhaps to drive additional people out of game who will no longer be able to compete against their opposing city.

i dont cry much while playing a video game, but listening to you QQ on this thread is pretty funny and any other thread regarding us selling mythicals.

I think you would be surprised at who's sent us PM's over the last week or two requesting a price check and estimated schedule on getting a mythical. It's not your stereotypical "gank classes".

You also grossly stereotype the attitude of the average PvPer, especially the more hardcore ones who go out there all the time in T8. Yes, there's a lot of lame shit going on across all tiers, but this is a fucking red server, if you don't think people are going to take every advantage to try to win, you are delusional. Be careful about making sweeping generalizations, they are usually wrong. For instance, I generalize Onyx as a bunch of sub-average intelligence, hive-mind, back-slapping, immature, forum-infesting idiots... but that only really applies to about 30% of you!

When did ethics become part of EQ2? There is nothing ethical about the game or its community. Its every man for himself, fuck the dude next to you and have a nice day.

If you even think the words ethics and EQ2 belong in the same sentence, you need to seriously put down your mouse, zip up your fly and go outside. I suggest taking a nap on the center line of your nearest highway.

You may want to check with them before you pay to see if they can still clear to your mob.
