I blame Fugi!!!  It's always his fault!!!   Where are my free stuffz? Fugi? ...

Lol  Love it Hate ... you da man!

OMG ... no you didn't!!!!!  

Hope this is the thread I need to post.  But I just logged my raid in to do the dailies, however when I clicked yes it did not zone me and the raid into zone.  So I redid the prompts and it sent me in but not the raid.  Also, I and the raid did not get a quest in the Journal. 

I really like some of the ideas bouncing around.  When we have these discussions it really boils down to play time.  EZ has always been x time = x rewards.  What we always see is that people who can only play 4 to 6 hours a day versus those playing 16 or more a day.

In 2013 when I returned, I did at first feel sort of overwhelmed at the projected hours needed to be fully equipped. However, 10 months later I had 17 toons t10 flagged with all the goodies to go with it.  Now, as some read that statement they will say no way in hell, others will say yea it can be done.  I played 6 days a week and 14+ hours a day.  So keep that in mind guys because we all don't have the same play hours per day. Also, no mmo that I know of has ever said, lets make this easier for those that cant play a lot of hours.  Anyway, just wanted you all to remember that its all time versus rewards.

With that said I do agree with Blurr, Chunka and Fugitive.  Cant wait for t10 thou 
Off to finish my last 4 uw's in my main group 

Unable loot tofs 7 ess from tess on any of my toons .. acts like a lore item but no message... also locks the corpse to the toon had to log that toon off the release corpse then tried another .. rinse repeat til corpse poofed ... I am using the Rof client also.

Fugi said, he has berries in the back of his van ... Just go get them..

I have made 3 expeditions today and still have not seen one Werewolf in any of them.... Cleared them all 3 times and nothing.



Btw, still a lot of fun!!  Thanks Akka, Hate, Love

My whole raid went in before reboot... YAY!!!

Well, I noticed yesterday helping some peeps with MoW that he is yellow to me at 78...  Hate might need to look at him.

What is the uproar for an EQ/EZ PVP zone?  EQ PVP never worked, so EZ PVP will never work....  I love the fact that Hunter added this zone which really can never be balanced....  I read this and remember Hunter's stories about grieving players in other games and wonder if OT isn't his way to chuckle at us all.............

Well, I will start with a big Thanks to Akka, Hate and everyone else behind the scenes for picking up the torch that fell with the loss of Hunter.  Again, Thanks to you all!!

I have to agree that a streamline approach for new players would benefit the server.  I just returned from a 2 month vacation from my EZ job...   I think that an approach that allows for quick 1 to 2 hour runs that reap nice rewards for progression would help new players and maybe help older players with new avenues for ingredients needed for upgrades.  Something like using the dungeon crawls from LDON, Depths, Lavastorm, and so forth... But use them as tier base .. Qvic = Ldon and those points used to buy essences, sls's, and so forth.. Wouldn't something like this help new players obtain the ingredients faster which would assist them with finishing the tier progression for armor and epic's?  And allow higher tier players to farm ingredients for all tiers in another way and get AA's to boot?   Also, using those systems allow for more extended zones (I used EZ) while allowing everyone to gain from farming if only for a few hours a day.  Also, make the crystals like in lavastorm the same across the tiers and tradable so there can be additional game currency.  I.e. buy a uc1, HR XX
 
So just an idea but still agree that some type of change is needed to attract new players and give something to old players.

I always have a few that seem to delay behind the others and those that seem to be delayed are always my monk, rogue and ranger and always them. 
I also have 2 or 3 that will crash to log in if my raid is wiped all at once, like a bad pull .  Would be nice to know if there is an issue with a fix.

Well, I don't know how many times I have started a post then deleted it.  However, I guess I will throw my 2cents out there.

First, I would like to give a quick rundown of my time back on EZ.  Just about 10 months ago I returned and I will admit I returned for the UW.  You know its the Holy Shit of an item and I wanted one.  However, when I returned I had 6 toons that were t2/t3 geared.

Now, I have 13 toons all t9 flagged with RoA's 300 to 400, SoA-L, ALL strike augs are 10's, all uc2 working on 3's and a UW X.  Before anyone says how the hell did I do that... Well, I didn't pay to win that's for sure.  I have dedicated 12+ hours per day almost 7 days a week to get there.  So with this inevitable topic I have done some major soul searching and reading of this thread and here is where I stand at this time....

I agree with Denzig, just stop the UW altogether, dumb down the hps starting a rank 6 250k and add 250k per rank there after ... UWXI = 1.5mil.  Leave damage and proc alone.  Not saying the quest should be removed but leave it there, no more ranks, no UA's, nothing just end it.  This makes me think of the band aid we all dreaded to removed when we were kids ... 1... 2.. OUCH!!!! but has to be done.

Personally, I liked that Hate said something about a "True Epic Weapon", which I hope it means a stand alone system that can be done at any tier , use any tier and strikes augs but have more of everything else on it than it's tier skin.  This seems more viable route to go and have a bigger return to the server longevity and health while giving us a really nice upgrade that will not break the game.

I have agreed with a lot of the posts here, but I do feel we are spending to much time on something that has broken our game. And if we all can accept that it has broken the game and no matter what idea's we have for it ... it still breaks the game.  Maybe, then we can look at another route for those ubber weapons we want.  Also, Hate could call them Ultimate Weapon 2.0!!!! might ease the pain )

Anyways, Just my 2 cants again, be safe everyone and see you all in game...

Fuzy
