You're an idiot. There aren't 24 slots in a x4 raid so you can take one of every class. Then you're gonna leave groups without proper utility. Offtank with no dirge, no coercer, and/or no swash/assassin? Yeah right.

Anyways, I'd love to see one of these "LDoN" type expansions (Never played EQ1...), with multiple new zones added to existing conten.

New instances, new contested dungeons (SoS is a legend, bring back something fresh but just as good), and some new raid zones. And maybe a couple of nice, lengthy questlines, one geared towards non-raiders/casual raiders, and one for more hardcore raiders. If they do an expansion like this, we don't really need a new epic, so maybe we could get an offhand/symbol/shield type epic reward or something?

I'd like to see a level cap increase and a new continent just to get the fuck out of RoK, but there's tons of potential for an existing-content expansion pack, I think it could be pretty awesome.

thanks for explaining to every one why classes should be consolidated

AA's in EQ1 gave a reason to exp farm contested zones. You could literally spend a day grinding out experience (in any given zone) and benefit from 3-5 aa's. It made the dungeon crawls so much more liveable.

Its rarely that I see an upgrade come from a contested dungeon crawl, and instances seem to payout better with the loot.

Personally, I think the best contested or instanced loot that could be gained right now would be new adornment drops. It would definately pull me out of the strictly raiding routine.

Also, a full blown combat experience ONLY AA system. Toss some innate runspeed, flurry, increased skills, %hp gains, innate mitigation, whatever... just something out there to be gained other than wooden chest drops waiting to be transmuted.

Then toss in some long questlines that are zone specific, and with rewards that are truly awesome to give reason to keep people pushing through those quests.

Finally, make them hard enough that not everyone is going to succeed in their first runs through it. Make some of it x2 content, and throw some strong x4 contested named inside. And fix the loot.. sick of spending hours in a crawl to find a few wooden chests with loot that might as well not exist.

I'd like to see more AA's, maybe put in an archetype tree...ports, sow, FD, and evac for all mages pls.

I agree with a post that someone had mentioned about bringing back long and rewarding questlines like the Claymore, Prismatic series etc...

I also agree with expanding / upgrading current content. There are lots too build on. DOF for instance, what has the God King been up too lately? Whats Nagafen's thoughts on the Ring of Scales and Trakanon's activities? No more level increases.. well for now anyways.

Ive never played EQ1 or any other MMO for that matter. Ive always played game consoles. When I was introduced too EQ2 I was and still amazed with the graphics, lore, quests, and communities. ROK had the lore and graphics etc.. but the quests are far too short as stated already.

I would like to see more content with grp'd encounters, mobs like the Ludmilla encounter in PR are awesome.
Fix drop rates.. I know that they said they have but Im not seeing it. Im tired of doin COA runs and having all of the named drop wood.
Im tired of defeating fairly difficult encounters ie: The Sisters in Maidens dropping wood.
Im tired of Masters that seem more plentiful on some servers than others. ie: Necro tank pet will go easily for 300p on one server becasue it is so rare, but on another it can go for 50p because it drops like mad.

But enough .. Back to Crafting!

Oh, I would like to see them add new recipes for Tinkerers IE: Things that can be found useful for toons that arent actually Tinkerers.

im just wondering, whatever happened to Adventure Packs?! since Ilse of Marra, there hasn't been any misc. fun with 7$ adventure packs :P . BOOOOO!

The Preview descrption to the living legend and gu47 (right, 47, not 46) hint to some Shadowmen stuff for the next expansion.

And classes that don't have any business in a raid are optimal game design.

It never ceases to amaze me how much people will bitch about everything....

I want to see something like new adornment drops that have been mentioned, and more contested dungeons. Also a new epic offhand would be nice (cant top Fang of Ichor). Also more x2 mobs in the world, they are fun stuff.

To those of you who want class consolidation, fuck off, I dont wanna be a Predator, I wanna keep stabbing shit as a Assassin, sounds much better to me!

I would also love to see more tinkering recipes, broker or bank bot perhaps.....

About the lag.... I personally dont have that much of an issue with it (besides the occasional horrible lag in VP. At avatars you are gonna catch more lag due to the fact that more people are gonna be there, really dont see how they could fix that cause its just alot of information being passed to everyone in the zone, I may be wrong though, its happened once before.
