[Pet Classes]

And, as I suggested, devise ways to improve pets that DO take time and effort.

Pet Classes

Multi-zoned questing for items and/or spells that improve individual casters. It would force people to focus on ONE character at a time, rather than just loading up 30 chars and going afk in t3/t4 during double loot. If you want the items to be scaling through tier, Halloween type spawns would be great. Collect an item from each spawn in each zone, combine to make an awesome item. The LDoN Mage robe is a good example of an item that provides a nice little burst of DPS, but requires you to pay attention to the timer and have it unbagged to use it. Maybe a 2 minute, pet only, holy knightstrike proc with 5 minute cool down? Extended LDoN buff? Things like that would certainly make me spend a little more time and pay a little more attention to my Mages.

The idea of making something harder to play, but better overall breaks up the traditional "You should be grouping X, Y, Y,Z,Z,Z" formula and gives people a real decision to make when forming their groups. This has been done pretty well recently with Wizards/Bards. Harder to obtain is one thing, but there's always going to be a handful of people who will do it relatively quickly and then put the character on auto-pilot from there on out. Harder to play is the limiting factor.

This is coming from someone who has 3 mages and a Zerker simply because I haven't felt like doing Augs yet. I know after a certain point this is not viable DPS and I'm already working on Monks, etc., but being able to have a viable mage or two after doing some aug-like questing would be pretty cool.

Good to hear you're safe boss, stay dry!

My warrior alone seems to have the power to completely crash the nexus and qrg when he hails the Universal Teleporter. His name is Ohno if the irony wasn't clear enough. I guess I will stop using him for a little while, but it doesn't seem to occur on my other older characters.

Gems are dropping at pretty much the old rate (before the change a few days ago) in LDoN.

Not looking for FS VI's by chance are ya?

I know there's some new stuff coming up from your work this past weekend, any chance that Zerkers are getting some love? Would probably be kind of selfish of me considering I'm probably the only person left playing one.

I think you two put more work into this game than the entire EQ Live Dev team has in the past two years. Great job guys.

If there's one thing to be thankful for on these boards, it's the hard work/time/money Hunter puts into this thing so that we may all have a little fun in our spare time. Thank you as always sir, and it's a pleasure playing!

I agreed with the counter-argument at first but since most people doing t2 already have 6 chars, it wouldn't necessarily give them a huge advantage. It'd just make inventories a little cleaner. Tikis are the limiting factor.

Not sure what kind of coding that'd take but that last idea is pretty cool. Sort of like a Shadow lottery.

WoW gold...blood diamond of the 21st century.

Works swimmingly nice for me as I blew about 40k+ on guild instances that poofed after one zone the other day. I have plat again!

Looks like thoes PEQ'ers got it fixed.
(Edit)
On further observation, its going up and down from the list like a pogo team in a rollercoaster at whore island.

Tell me more of this..."whore island".

Tacvi/Fire seem to have the most problems too, from my experience.

Good to know that it's not just me. Sky and HoH seemed to have more trouble than others; I pretty much gave up after losing a couple t3 mobs when my tank couldn't rezone.
