I can understand why a minimum requirement in UA is required.  I think it's to save you from embarrassment in the next level/tier lol.  Say the requirement was removed and you only have T10 gear/armor, you will not progress very far in the next zone Sleepers or VP due to lack of gear and/or DPS (especially VP)

I have 9 decently equipped toons (war, pally, cleric, bard, enchanter, zerker, ranger, monk, necro) and I think I will need to make an additional 3 toons minimum (thinking 2 rogues and an extra pally) just to, possibly, have enough DPS to progress further.  Damn, Enslaved dragon soul with random unresistable/uncurable debuffs.  Once it procs, i'll be lucky if I still survive the encounter.  What more as I progress thru VP where mobs are getting considerably tougher, when I'm not even halfway thru the zone (/cough Draca).

You can see it as a bottleneck, sure, but even if it were removed, you won't get very far.  I mean, at least you get to see a new zone  

Exactly! If you worked UCv4 on only dps...and have UCv3 on healers...you are going to have to go back and farm the UCv4's for the healers....at this point weapon dps means nothing because you are hitting for 60-90 but taking 500k+ and the mobs arer quadding on you...so you are talking HUGE hp swings...you will be spamming your clerics heal...of course I still watch tv and just turn my head and spam click "4" key to heal.....

I have 2 toons one on green and one on blue...bnnoth Paladins...both named Orthanos hehehe one is 32 the other is 37.....I never xp'd in Unrest but that's where i live for the most part...have had a blast.

Have been spending the last 2 months playing on P99. I forgot how hard the game was when I first started a long time ago. Also what it was like to depend on others in the random group....EZ would never work that way but it is fun to kick it old school. I havent logged into EZ to see how the newest changes are asd I am kinda digging P99 atm but best of luck to you guys and we will see ya when we see ya!

Shylos Bolt of Doom IV Enchanter 3 2 Lightning...this is not an Enchanter spell but a Mage line of spells

Lingering Sloth can be used, in t10. Not useful prior to T10 but I used that and druid regen buff before evry.single.pull.in .orc.camp....only way to survive back in the day before the zone was nerfed and became easy (and yes this was before UA existed)

Just because there wasn't a place to mention this in the survey...I think that lowering weapon attk and hitpoints (weapons and gear) and lowering player/NPC hitpoints and damage would be highly useful on both a developer and player standpoint. We have got to be getting close to hitting a wall if we keep going on the route we are going.

Shaman (Grudge)

Shaman have buffs and let us not forget the wonderful wonderful spell Lingering Sloth

Why does no one bring up beastlords...they are very under represented lol.  Lots of classes are screwy (most caster/hybrid classes) pets are horrible as they require too much work to be viable....and buffs on some hybrid classes (pally not having a brells line or the beastlord Ascent Essence line are a complete loss or a complete bomb) rogues (even if they didnt have a dps advantage) are worth having for SoS and a group/raid summon clickie...by far my choice for easily gettiung to Aby in ST (can't get past him though as he sees through SoS)...each class , if not strong in dps, should have something seperate but equal that brings them to the table.

Man looks like two old timers got early rerlease!

I think having UA armor for YEARS, was reward in of itself for grinding for UA armor. I'm not sure why anyone wants to keep it going in any way.

Definitely. People have been able to do things otherwise impossible.

Don't know you can point at UA for that....more like the broken Guardian's Charm. It has been brought up in the past that player HP and DPS is too high and causes issues.....you mix all that with Guardian's Charm and people exploiting the Ultimate Augment that let's non tanks tank....you have a recipe for disaster....

Another option would be to create a quest attainable after t11 gear is readily available that rewards an ultimate weapon/charm augment completed by turning in the full UA set.

That's not a bad idea, make it so that in T11 you can turn in UA to an NPC for a ultimate augment to go into your UW...UA to UW aug maybe include a slight side quest as well to tie it all together.... Great idea, Dok.

"....this will render the Ultimate Armor obsolete."

I would hope that it wouldn't be COMPLETELY useless...I don't care if it ius a few hundred hitpoints m,ore than standard fare T11 armor...I would hope the effort put in top get the UA would at least be paid forward on the next tier....that's just my opinion though.

7. GSS
I have read through prior forum posts about how others have discussed the rarity of GSS and inquired as to whether the drop rate can be altered. I can appreciate but certainly cant fully comprehend as I am not a developer myself the frustration from the developer end about wanting an item that is ultra rare to obtain and trying to balance the time investment v. reward in a player base that invests A LOT of time into the game. I think given that there is now new content being developed that will require characters to have at least 3 GSS armor slots the server is maybe in a different place than it was a few years ago. UA armor will be UA by name but now part of the typical gear progression requirement. I would recommend the drop rate be re evaluated or there be made additional routes to obtain the GSS or the zone in requirements for these upcoming zones be adjusted.
-Consider making GSS no drop and allowing them to be obtained by killing 1000 plagueborn after players have already completed the 1000 plague born kill quest. If GSS remained droppable and they could be obtained from a quest, then players would make sure they're doing the quest on all 24 toons to quickly flag specific characters. Maybe this is okay but I think it might make the grind a little too easy and expedite the process faster than should be allowed in my opinion.

The whole point behind GSS, was to add an additional time sink into T10 while new content was being developed...I klnow because I came up with the idea with that sole purpose....new content just never came around.  GSS is not necessary for T10.  I know because I was playing T10 before UA came out...YEARS before it came out. T10 is far easier today than it was when it first came out. You have no spawning trains anymore that would wipe your entire raid at whim. GSS was supposed to be rare.  Heck it took me YEARS to get all 3 of my groups fully UA'd....nothing worth anything comes easy or over night....nothing is saying that UA will continue past T10.

Trying to navigate tubes with a crap ton of alts would make this zone a HUGE headache. (ssrz Temple)

Draca going to get bombarded with "I meant to loot it on XYZ toon but accidentally looted it on ZYX toon who already had the chest".....
