BOYCOTT VP `08

if the latter part of your statement is true, then i foresee a mass exodus from eq2, as soon as the next batch of changes hit v peak.
I mean what the fuck are they thinking ? people are already shit bored going into farm v peak, orange mobs = scouts and tanks /yawnfest soon to be everyone /yawnfest with the proposed nerf to casters dps on orange cons.
95% of the loot from the zone is already transmuted, So i have a good idea !!!. ill make all the mobs harder / broken scripted, and wont change any of the shit loot in the zone, so the people who have access really really don't want to go in there as there is no fucking point to it.
when will SoE learn ?.
and if this is just Snark churning the mill, then im sure ill regret posting what i did ! lol.

I personally don't like it but it certainly gives a nod to those VP guilds that don't build their raids around DPS but build them around survivability.

it isn't at the point where it's a survivability fight when you can totally do it with 6-7 healers tops and half the dps still just stands around, it's not even like they're preparing for something, just... waiting...

I like the changes to VP as far as making it harder. Druushk is a bit retarded and making folks click a statue an entire fight is the main reason, I would not say unkillable thou. As far as the difficulty of the first floor, I think it is a great adjustment. Half the guilds that are in VP and clearing things should not be. SOE should raise the rest of the mobs in VP to this difficulty and make things interesting. Take away all clickies during fights thou so certain classes do not just get screwed into boredom.

Agree, but without revamped loot tables it just becomes pointless hard work. I love a challenge as much as anyone, but I need more than 'because it's there' as a reason to slog my guts out for several hours a night (when I'm already knackered from working all day) to learn how to kill extremely tough mobs. The mythicals make it worth it the first time - the second time it's just a pita.

I'm all for making the mobs harder, but the timing was wrong. Epics, the difficulty increase (of the entire zone, not pieces at a time), and the loot revamp all needed to happen at the same time. Not in bits and pieces.

I am not saying Druushk is to hard. I am saying the encounter is fucking borked and not working as intented making it nearly impossible to beat since Wednsday unless you get really really lucky or have some mythicals as was stated...If it was I would have never made this thread...I am not one to ever bitch about instanced mobs being to hard if they are working as intended...Fix the adds and the forced in combat shit and i'll stfu..Thats all i want

Especially whenever the order that they are going about doing the changes is... Make mobs harder ---> Upgrade the loot that is sub-par to a lot of tier 7 loot.

Also,

ENCOUNTERS THAT MAKE YOU HAVE 2+ PEOPLE SPAM CLICKING STATUES IS FUCKING RETARDED AND NOT FUN AT ALL FOR THOSE PEOPLE. LEARN TO MAKE ENCOUNTERS INTERESTING A DIFFERENT WAY OTHER THAN HAVING PEOPLE SPAM THE 'F' KEY.
