So while not technically spot on with the date, it was a month ago that EoF was launched. Thats not really all that long of a time period, given that we can expect to be dealing with this same content for another 6-7 months at least. So lets see, where am I?
- I am done grinding AA's.
- I have done EVERY non green quest I could possibly find. (Yes, I even did Cloak of Flames despite being a mage)
- I maxed out my transmuting skill.
- I created a Fae alt.
- I did the new, low level herritage/signature quests even.
My question is, wtf am I supposed to be doing in my spare time in game? Its pretty ridiculous that in one month's time I am done with everything but the raid content. The only real reason 95% of the raid content hasnt been beaten is because it is horrible broken to the point of impossible just like the Matron was for months. Emerald Halls still seems possible, Pumpkin Headed Horseman, and even Mayong Mistmoore* are all I see that can possibly be killed without being changed. There is no fucking way in hell anyone is ever going to kill an Avatar unless SOE makes changes.
And speaking of changes, SOE, did you not learn from the matron encounter? Yes, a hard, challenging encounter is a lot more fun than an easy, walk in the park one. However, we, the playerbase, do NOT enjoy having the content be impossible and slowly tweaked down to where it is just barely doable. We've been there before, its not all that fun. It is much more enjoyable to have this content possible from the get go. Granted we should need to gear up, except all gear I am seeing is lack luster at best. Newsflash, 500hp doesnt really change a whole lot when mitigation is completely meaningless. Yes, I saw Gallenite's response about how useless mitigation is and he completely missed the entire point. The point wasnt that cloth is as good as mitigation so fix that, it was the mitigation curve diminishes so MUCH, so EARLY that anyone who can outfit themselves in full relic need not worry about mitigation anymore because 500 more will add 1-2% difference, aka nothing that will ever make a difference at all.
The mitigation curve needs to be fixed, period. It is completely broken. No tank in relic gear from an old expansion should tank as well as a tank decked out in brand new EoF set gear, but they do. In fact, if tanks are smart and change their thinking a bit, a lot of the old KoS gear is better than the set gear because 50 more hp doesnt matter all that much at all, especially when mobs like the avatars are hitting for 10,000.
Now for the asterik:
* - Mayong is only possible if you fix that mother fucking bug where the entire raid completely freezes up for several seconds every time a mob delevles someone. How did this miss beta testing? Every single fucking time in that zone, one of the vampires delevels your tank, everyone freezes up for 5 seconds. Its not enough that Mistmoore Castle is so poorly designed with so many pixels that it lags seriously bad on even the top end computers when there are 24 people in the zone, but that bug on top of things is just plain ridiculous.
Fix the raid content already. Fix the curve so plate tanks can actually increase their tanking ability. Put in the epic questline that should have been in since release because those of us who actually play your fucking game instead of log in for 5 minuts a week are out of content to do when not raiding already. For the price increase in this expansion I would expect more than a month's worth of content.
Oh and btw, how about you quit showing favortism by resetting certain guild's lockouts for bugs that many others have experienced mmm k?
