If Avatars are the same, would you still want to play EQ2 as a top-tier raider? - Page 6

No, it's a pretty equal balance, if epeen and gear is the only reason you raid then you've got way worse problems than bad encounter design

For example I raid, because I just like the process and I don't care that much about gear.

Someone should note all the uber retards who claim they will /quit when said avatars are basically the same encounters as before, because that is what is coming....like it or not. SoE going to claim they added 4 new Contested with the 3 new avatars and the APE. Also anyone saying that SoE stated raiding this expansion is about contested didn't actually read what SOE put out. They said in a nut shell that contested's are a pain in the ass to program and not an important factor being less than 1% of the players in game will actually kill one.

What would you say if they made totally new avatars. With brand new abilities. They will probably add new avatars for the New ones released. The encounters will be different and it will make it harder to tell which ones spawn/ getting the "special" items from each mob.

Hell personally . I would love if SoE upgraded The Three Princes from KoS. 2 expansions ago into a very hard encounter that just didn't involve rotating. But had respawning adds and that healed each time someone died. ( No more not caring if a tank went down. THIS WOULD OF COURSE be a mob in RoK that would be current with content. Fights like that that everyone hated because they were gimp could be made intricate and challenging. I'm sure SoE could find someone to come up with good Hard Scenarios for the new Avatars so I'm not too worried actually.

wishing all the good players to leave will still leave you looking like a 4 year old clicking the buttons, you should really shit your mouth if you're so bad in game that you can't make a post without people jumping on you for being so dumb.

Or prove us wrong and out parse a troubadour, either or.

First I thought that if the Avatars are not in game yet, that means someone is working on them and they will be cool new encounters, then I remembered the Giant in the Steppes back in T5, out of the game for months and wasn't changed much if at all, and it was only one mob.

Anyway, it's already worth quitting if the 11 Avatars are on the same respawn rotation IMO! xD

If they weren't redesigning the old avatars, then why did they take them down when RoK was released?

Hopefully because they originally planned on just bumping up the levels of the original avatars but then realized that this would indeed be a bad idea and that they don't have enough time to complete the new scripts so they decided to delay it.
