  • keven2002 said: Cookie said: I don't think they are the same time to cast? I think EQ is at least 0.5 seconds longer to cast, which is an eternity in pvp. It is one of the longest casting spells. (I'd appreciate a fact check here, fo…

  • Mariah said: That's Enough! You have to admit, this is the funniest thread of the day.
  • sibble said: C I'm not making assumptions, I can clearly see you're suggesting something that would hurt the game more than help.  That lead me to believe that you are currently unaware, which you've admitted to. So at this point, …
  • sibble said: This is simple logic. You said you're out of touch with PVP meta, then suggest PVP changes.  Being out of touch with the PVP meta means you have no idea how those changes will affect players. Now you've changed your story to bei…
  • sibble said: Cookie said: Derail my thread, and I will derail you somewhere in the middle of the Pacific ocean. @ Mariah is this a joke? It's a joke, and a threat. Don't think you can come in all toxic and moron brained into …

  • Clearly you are out of touch with current pvm farming metas.
  • sibble said: Clearly you are out of touch with current meta PVP templates. Mages do not need a dismount spell. I maybe out of touch with current Metas. I had already mentioned the generic Bola approach where we lose our shield. Not grea…
  • Make EarthQuake useful - please make it dismount every player in range - clearly it logically would. I'd be happy if it also Dismounted myself and my own team equally. It is also the longest casting mage spell, too dangerous for a mage to use in an…
  • AtomicBetty said: no more dismounts are needed. Get rid of them, or do it properly. Don't just penalise the mages.
  • Extra concept. In the same way Warriors can use all the different weapons, and many overpowered specials, please create a method for Mages to access all spells, from all Mage schools Make a quest, or set a reward, for obtaining all Avatar Virtues…
  • If you want, this can be the new Additional 65th spell, you can add into my Mage Offensive properties spell book I am after.

  • CovenantX said: What do you think the devs' rationale was, when they made Parry count against Focus spec? Their rationale was, exactly the same as you, they misunderstood the problem. But, they proceeded anyway, because they wanted…

  • CovenantX said: Pure mages were all over the place when Parry was nerfed for mages the first time, wtf are you talking about lol This has not happened in the last 30 years. What dimension are you talking about? The Spidey Multiverse Cart…
  • you must be the only one who thought it became more fun. i think losing pure mages was bit of a killer blow to pvp tbh. except now that you can easily reach 100+ dex without giving up HP or enough mana to make the difference, As a warrior you can …
  • Nice post. I do not even remember the Meer Catacombs, as I never even visited Trammel in those days, sounds a cool place, yes, so many places they can re-open, and revamp, and fix, all good suggestions, great detail and eye for things you have.
  • Pawain said: Let vet rewards drop in IDOCs again. Statues are my favs. I actually think the whole IDOC system is questionable, so I understand them doing what they have done. I think right now, they have reached a certain point with IDOCS…
  • Ultimately, I agree with the opening post. I think Veteran rewards should be rethought, and rebalanced, and I have given suggestions. The issue for me is, that list is very bloated (I think I have proved that), and there are an insane amount of us…
  • And finally, we have a very eclectic mix of Miscellaneous.  The controversial one being Shard Shields. I believe they should exist as a reward, they are genuinely useful, players get great benefit from them. They should remain as a Vet reward, they…
  • House add-ons. Now this is where the Vet reward system absolutely slays. Very Vanity, Extremely useful, fantastic items in my opinion. Not over-powered, but can help for sure. This list in itself, makes the entire Vet reward system. In some ways, I'…
  • Dye Tubs. These are very cool, again, they satisfy the vanity, and useful concept. They could remain as Vet rewards, OR be brought into BoD rewards for crafting.
  • Ethereal mounts, do satisfy the vanity concept, and the useful concept. These should remain as Vet rewards.
