So VoV, Venekor, Vaz'gok, Kra'thuk, Lord Nagalik, Sol Fist, Brix/Brax/Borx would share a timer and loot tables, with maybe a special loot per each mob( like Avators) on like a 9 day timer....

Could do the same thing with all contested and group them and scale thier loot based on respawn timers or difficulty.

What they should do is scale the avatars make them all pop at same time at first and then put them on random 7-11 day timers to make them actually contested.

and I see such stuff inc
because thzey dont know how to make stuff entertaining

Reactive fears, reactive stuns, mass dispels, random far ports, excessive health on trash, all of these belong in the Fucking Stupid category. The tedium ends up outweighing the fun and I pray for a revolt if some jackass starts tacking them onto any RoK mobs. Any at all. Even one.

Here let me bullet them to make it not clear, but Fucking clear.

NO:

Reactive fears
Reactive stuns
Mass dispels
Random far ports
Excessive health on trash

THESE ARE FORBIDDEN.

I love to talk about what Blizzard does better than EQ2.

So, here goes....annoyances instead of challenges would top the list!

Mez, Charm...Excessive Stuns, Stifles, Roots, Mezzes

Ya know, anytime you lose control of your character, the game ceases to be fun immediately.

i hope multiple avatars and such spawn at once

If I didn't raid, these wouldn't convince me to start.

How does blizzard do something better? All of those actually make the game fun, your inability to deal with them is not effect the rest of us. WoW is patheticly easy, sure some guilds find eq2 easy as well, but for most of us avatars are not easy kills.

I think it's very lazy and lame to just scale up the avatars for RoK. They had a year to bang out an expansion, but I have a feeling the questlines are still going to be lame, boring and easy where you have to collect a billion things around the world then just kill some boss mob after he's nerfed to get your fabled epic reward.

Everything worth a damn will be instanced, they'll ruin contested dungeons by giving 95% of the names crap loot tables, and probably make the trash as annoying as CMM.

Then come the contested mobs where instead of making them at the end of hard to reach contested zones to prevent 150 people sitting around the non aggro'd epic collecting data, they can actually make the whole thing a challenge from start to finish.

This game is getting more and more geared to casual players to try and steal members from the WoW crowd instead of making the game more challenging and fun to keep a core crew around for awhile.

I mean am I the only one who thinks LoN is a lame, pathetic attempt to just scrounge more money from it's player base and reward them with items that appear to be the prestigious items only obtained in the high level raid zones (the Mayong warg - I know it's not the same warg, but looks very similar). Maybe i'm being sensitive, but stuff like that is a slap in the face to those who try to compete in the semblance of a high level game they give us. And please don't get me started on all the numerous ways of getting easy xp.

Sorry for the rant, I know it's all over the place but it all stems from the lame attempt at giving us contested mobs in this game. And before anyone says 'well leave if you're not happy', I do plan on leaving if RoK is even half the joke EoF turned out to be with the SoD questline, nerfing Mayong, LoN rewards, entire throne room, etc.
