nah I guess many of us feel the same way raygan. In fact I would say that you need full UA to enter T11. With GSS dropping more frequently in VP this should not be the problem as of many players have already some full UA toons.
But yeah in T11 there should be a replacement armor for UA so we get a) better gear for our toons and b) a new color armor that doesnt look like crap
In my opinion the most important topic when talking / discussing / planning T11 should be the balancing or fixing of some classes and items.
It is the old discussion about Guardian Charm, ID, UC when it comes to items and it is the same old discussion about almost all classes xcept warrior when it comes to classes.
It seems like VP will make healing classes more important again which is great and will be a new way of playing on EZ for me and many of us I believe.
But I did not read a word about those caster classes like mage, wizard, (necro), ench ... so this will be a challenge for draca to make them relevant I guess.
Someone (it was Roslo IIRC) told me that wizard nuke dmg is broken on high level because of EQ mechanics. I dont know if that is correct but this would lead into a problem of course if true.
While making more classes relevant again, one should not require many classes at the same time to survive or to play efficiently. It would suck if you would have to box with 6+ chars all the time and have them all do something in a fight in order to keep them alive. Yes fights should be challenging and not be on autopilot or tank and spank but for me it should not be like on Live servers or in old real EQ.
Which leads me to ZPs ... Yes ZPs should not be the standard but I think at a certain point you should always be able to use ZPs to fight and kill more efficiently and therefor farm better and faster. Of course it would need you to equip the best stuff and complete the relevant quests for your char, but once you're done you should really be able to use ZPs (and dont go LD).
Personally I still like T10 the most of all "standard" zones because of ZPs. But to use ZPs I had to farm groups of mobs, farm camps of mobs and get better and better gear first. If there would not be a ZP in T10 (or in HoS) I believe many of us would not play anymore.
