Is it me or the developers of EQ2 are total retards? I cannot begin to even start.


But here's one:

In T5, there was some serious balancing issues between classes... a Inquisitor was no where a match for a Templar... what the fuck? How about Wardens and Furies... wow talk about disadvantage... 3 Furies couldn't even replace 1 Warden in healing power and buffs.

Also, the wonderful idea of a random item generator in T5... /boggle... every fucking item was nearly the same.

The idea of two brawlers? two bards? two enchanters? Pretty much the idea of 2 of most of the classes was pretty damn stupid already.

So fuck the developers of EQ2 for being soo retarded. Think of more unique stuff for the game rather than 1 idea and repeat.

The problem is that I find Vanguard unplayable right now, so there's nowhere to run to. Only way to stay entertained and not grow too bitter is just to sit back and accept all of it. Don't fight the lack of progression, swim in it. Don't attack exploits, just participate in them like everyone else does. Don't report or track or document chinese plat pharmers, just pretend all servers are Station Exchange. Don't complain that masters drop like pez, just pretend that getting masters is like getting your par-for-the-course 350/350 casting skill.

And don't acknowledge that a team of developers is fucking up under poor guidance, just pretend that one superb developer wrote the entire game and fights to keep up.

Just turn to the dark side like Cornwallis in The Patriot... when he was made a fool of, he gave the one dude enough authority to burn down a church full of people.

HA HA fuck you, Roger. And don't vote for Obama.

No I can't think of a single one I would call a "retard." What the hell? T5? How old is this thread? It's time to let go.

Wow...unique stuff. They haven't heard THAT suggestion before. Notice how DoF instances drop maybe 3 pieces of loot and EoF T6 drops 6+? You think maybe they listened?

Granted I'll place blame where it belongs. For instance I'm not happy with the lag issues right now, but itemization? If you can't see an improvement with EoF I don't know what to say.

Maybe his guild is clearing T5 stuff at the moment. His gripe would be valid then.

His post is in past tense though. If he were in T5, maybe it would be. I'm sure you and I both could probably give insight into the healer comments.

I don't understand why ever dev is a retard though.

Savanja

Uhh. Are you talking about things that have already been altered and/or fixed?

Of the devs I have known and spoke with, none seem retarded to me. I think that they sometimes have ideas that don't pan out like they hope, but hey, we all do.

Gori

The developers of EQ2 are "Retards" because their vision of the game blows in the wind. Adding the other fuck ups on top of that, bad itemization, poor attempts at balance, deception that borders upon outright lying, etc... is just icing on the cake.

MysidiaDrakkenbane

I wouldn't say the developers are retarded so much as the marketers who market the product are always rushing the developers to finish early and what we get is a rushed product that met deadlines that shouldn't have been placed.

I think people need to pay attention to what guilds people are in and the date the thread was posted before flipping out.

If I understand right Xelus is pissed at EQ2 just in general due to the fact that the devolpers can't fucking balance a check book much less 24 god damn classes. He was stating an example of how T5 was messed up. T5 raids were great, T5 balancing was the most horrible shit in the world. They are still trying to recover from that. The Devs prolly have most of their hands tied but there is also a lack of conceptulization as well that seems to follow their games. I can name 10 blaring things right now off the top of my head of stuff they stole because they couldn't think of a solution themselves.

The first answer to any question posed by a dev ends with the same answer, "How Do we balance rangers so they provide some utility?" "Hey I got it lets nerf all the other scouts so rangers don't feel left out!" "BRILLIANT!" or how bout this one "Hey guys its been discovered that tanks can tank BETTER in cloth than in plate because we can't code combat changes for shit, what do we do?" "Hey lets make it so that everyone gets nerfed across the board on their avoidance just so no one gets any wise ideas!" "BRILLIANT!"

Nerf Bats are not Toys!

Another thing that bothers the hell out of myself is turning all outside zones into solo candy land. Trying to find 1 tripple up is all but impossible much less group in an outside zone at all. Where the hell are all these god damn soloers at that need all of the old outside zones to be candy land? Thats the one thing I hate about WoW is every area is a solo land place. Fuck put some god damn triple ups in with the mix and make things interesting. If a soloer can't kill X mob cause Mr.Triple up there is too close maybe just fucking maybe that god damn whiney soloer needs to go kill something else before petitioning over and over that the whole god damn fucking zone be nerfed. I miss the danger Nek Forest had, I loved it, it gave you a real sense of accomplishment for just being able to explore the place. Say what you will but the more they "evolve" the game the more dilluded it gets! If you can't keep at least one god damn thing static thats working CORRECTLY whats the point of investing more money in a "solution" if it ain't fucking broke!

Stop fixing working shit focus on the broken shit, knock it out then have fun with the game. Hell I would even suggest actually PLAYING THE GOD DAMN GAME YOU FUCKING YOU WORK ON! I know its frustrating but for gods sake listen to the min maxers from time to time, we are min maxers because we know EQ2 backwards and forwards and know how to get the most out of the gear we have. Hold a Raiders Dev Chat sometime, NO FUCKING CASUALS, just a raider dev chat and see what the hell progression ideas these guys can give you. They aren't gonna give ya dumb ass ideas cause they want this game to be a challenge for them. They want the game to suceed so that their char is seen more often and peopel OOOHH and AHHH at them. No people in game means no one is impressed, raiders need to impress. So instead of pretending you understand the end game that you work on instead why not have the dev's send TELLs to raiders across the board. Ask them questions about their class, get personl and down to earth with us. Pretending your something special in your god damn high tower does not gleen respect.

Thank you and sorry I went off on a rant. Didn't plan to hehe.

Oh I see...

So we should continue to bitch about LU13 cause that hasn't been done enough. Gotcha.

You complain about solo play but have you looked at WoW's numbers recently? I'm sorry, but if you hate all forms of solo play, you're in the minority. SOE went and FINALLY bent to what the market is asking for. That doesn't make them retarded. Everyone I've talked to that has played the game since quitting around LU13 says the game is so much better than it was. I've not heard one person go "Yeah this game sucks even more."

You don't think the Devs play the crap out of this game? How many have you met? You ever talk to any? Just because stuff happens that may not be right, doesn't mean they don't understand the game.

The min/maxers are a minority. Sorry to say it. They are a small portion of a big picture. Their concerns are JUST as important as anyone elses but thats it...JUST as important, not more.

I really have tried hard to come around to the raiders viewpoint but elitist attitudes ragging on peoples playstyles remind me why I hated them for so long.

Now I just hate exploiters.
