Alot of great feedback.  What Gnomin said is correct regarding balancing.  I also agree with what Pubis is saying about a fixed raid size.  We choose to overcome the challenge by zerging with more characters, hence the increase in more toons to box, and usage of server resources to support said characters.

Maybe a limit of characters for the new zone, say 30 max but scales down to amount in raid of up to one group of 6.  Difficulty would scale up or down according to group size.  I know that could inconvenience the players with more than 30+ but it would also be easier to balance imho. 

I would love to see an increase in dps for other classes such as rangers, zerker, monks, pets of pet classes.  Is it possible to add to mobs some kind of piercing immunity, not full immunity maybe partial?  It would lower rogues dps somewhat and would need other dps classes to make a well rounded group.  Would also prevent the all rogue group compositions lol.

I vote "No" to bane weapons.

Nice! Looking forward to this. Thank you!

Awesome!  Thank you!  Merry Christmas!!

Congrats, Sarthin!  Thank you, guys, for your service and dedication to the server.

Thanks for all that you do for the server, Draca.  Will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Happy Halloween!  PC crapped out on me.  In the midst of getting it sorted out but count me in for Sunday!

Thanks, Draca! And thank you for everyone's input!

Halloween is coming soon and I know this was discussed before but the request was denied due to similarity in damage output or close capability/stats.

With UWs reaching 12.5 at the current state of the server, I was wondering what everyone else's thoughts are on changing the Lore group for Halloween weapons from Ultimate to just Halloween or something similar.  UW12.5 is a level higher than Halloween weapons and once Tier 11 is out, UW13 will outlcass it even more.

The quested Halloween items are difficult and time consuming to obtain and to delete them to get an UW is heartbreaking.  Brunaa's neckguard does not need to be deleted to get Darkstone neck.

/petition change Halloween weapons Lore group ....... please

I agree.  Early on those items are valuable and should feel like a reward for finishing the quest.  I don't think changing those quested items with augment slots would be game breaking.

I vote for yes for mana necklace use for caster classes.  Even if you all/all it, why would a melee wear it lol 

Would love to do it sometime this weekend.  I'm thinking maybe Sunday or Monday if possible

Since our numbers on the server are variable and people on at different times, is it possible to make an Essence Trader?  Maybe even having a conversion of 5:1 or 4:1.  Example 5 Sunderock essences for 1 D minor etc.

Something to think about?

Eager to see this.  Thanks for all your hard work, Draca.   

Thanks for looking into these, Draca!

Server up!
