ForeverFun said: Re: Merlin, Mod count is not a good metric. Getting to 120 resist, whether running protection or not, is one factor. The LRC property is going to be a NOP for most mages already using the cuffs. That's fair - however - th…

FC1 was too powerful to add to the item, but seems like the trend is to making nearly all items OP versus historical items. The theory I heard behind this is that it would "open up more jewels to be used". The drop price of the sash with FC1 shou…

Should there be garg versions of the luck boots? Are the Eldritch Vambraces and Veilkeeper's branch usable by Gargs?

I would think just a couple stat points would be suffice - 2 dex, 2 HP, 1 HPR, 1 SR - something along those lines.

+1 on loot revamp needed to existing content. Peerless bosses, mini spawns in Stygian Abyss, artifacts from champ spawns, etc. More or less the loot tables of all historical content has been blown out by the dynamic events of the past few years. …

Immediate takeaways on update #2: Crafting requirement changes look good - specifically dropping more of the materials in the chests and satchels. Not sure what was the thinking behind making the Eldritch Vambraces even more powerful because it r…

Overall, excited for the publish. Mostly good feedback here. Rewards list is good. I think most of the items are well balanced - only item I believe is maybe a touch OP are the Eldritch Vambraces. But they should otherwise be okay if getting th…

FC1 on the new sash would be too powerful. I would either leave as is - or adjust to add something a bit more minor, such as a few points of casting focus or mana regen. If price is left as is, maybe slight decrease to price - 35-40 drops instea…

Tested briefly.. it makes dismounting in PVP more important than it already is. However, it does seem to prevent fair amount of deaths. With more and more gear becoming overpowered to max out nearly all mods, a new ability that makes it even more …

Onixia said: When was the last time you did dread horn, Lady Mel, Medusa, etc. Most of the loot you receive from the current old bosses and dungeons just don't appeal to many people in the game. Thats why most of these areas are completely …

For production shards, we have Mythic Tokens for a reason. If you want to advance quickly, that's the course you have to follow. I've reached a point where I use one for nearly every new character, then will do a combination of training and pinks …

No more re runs of old event drops, please. Very few people will be happy with that. Do something instead where the name could have some variation... like each participation drop might have a virtue or anti-virtue named in the title. For actual rew…

Sharing some information on what I have seen… Starting with last week around January 14, different shards were noticeably being taken down and then most coming back online within 15 to 20 minutes. In one of the public Discord servers, someone was…

Sampires should be left alone. It is (arguably) the most popular melee template and thousands of account holders have one. While they certainly have some powerful advantages, there is plenty of content where they are at a disadvantage. The deve…

The lag on Atlantic Tram is worse during high activity periods, but is playable when the shard is a little more quiet. I've ultimately decided to move about 90% of my focus on the Fel side where there have been no lag issues and I've found the spaw…

I had a few successful runs today (40+ drops with potion) in Moonglow and Britain. And another awful (less than 20 drops) run in Skara. I didn't have any lag issues, even at prime time. This is shaping up mostly to be a city issue. Brit, Trinsic, …

Kyronix said: Which town were you battling in? Also to note the spawn scales with the number of players present. I concur with everything Keven has said. The spawn is dreadfully inadequate on Atlantic. I did two potion runs today, o…

+1 I loved that the drops were not shard bound for the pirate event. Did my farming on ATL, transferred drops to other shards to get rewards there. Allowed me to have some more viable characters on other shards so I can expand the horizon of group…
