Ok Im just going to apologize to Second Dawn, not for anything I posted/said because I still stand by it, but because that whole line of drama no longer interests me.

What enterains me now is the never ending story at eq2flames. Read all about at our homepage!

Beta players = lieing douchebags




Does anyone know what this is? Up until this morning I sure as fuck didnt. As it turns out this is something you just happen to pick up on the quest to receive Tunare's Diety cloak. Now considering this cloak/diety does all of jack shit for anyone other than a healer, most people have probly never done it, especially when you realize that Tunare is a GOOD ALIGNMENT ONLY god.

Ok, so now we all know what it is, but what the fuck does that matter? Well logic would indicate absolutely nothing as it is an item that good aligned characters can receive only right? Well that turns out to be wrong. Evidentally this item is supposed to be gotten from the area around Wuoshi in Emerald Halls, only AFTER you kill him. It is then a harvestable item that your raid force can pick up. That makes sense, you clear the zone, you get some item with some mystical useage right?

Oh no, here we are wrong again. To take this craziness one step further, I guess you can delete the tunare cloak quest after receiving this item and repeat it to your heart's content. But still, after being told this when I logged in this morning, I still had no fucking clue why that matters at all because its just some dumb leaf. Well as the story goes, this item is useable on Mayong Mistmoore in some fashion or another to prevent one of his AE's or something like that (i heard it prevents his de-level, but obviously having just been informed this is all second hand knowledge). WHAT THE FUCK! First off, how can something that incredibly important accidentally slip into a GOOD ALIGNMENT ONLY quest line? Secondly how the fuck would anyone ever know about that and then get multiple ones on alts and other characters to use it against Mayong?

Well only the developers can explain the first question and how much of a fuck up that is, but I can answer the second. During beta, a developer explained, in full detail to at the very least, members of NPU and Second Dawn exactly what Wolfsbane was, where it came from, and what it was used for. I was told this by a member of NPU because they figured if anyone would bitch about it, I would, and they were right. Obviously Second Dawn has killed Mayong, and last night they killed him again. Grats, I am sure its still a reasonably challenging encounter, but seriously, dont you ever fucking say beta knowledge doesnt help again. There are tons of guilds getting that guy to 50% and lower who have no clue about this wolfsbane crap I am sure and I bet they all can beat it now once they find out. I heard Second Dawn was zoning in other characters and alts with the wolfsbane last night to kill Mayong because they had planned ahead and gotten so much of it, talk about bullshit.

Like I said, grats on your kill, dont forget to give all credit to your firsthand beta knowledge that 95% of us out here had no fucking clue about. Lieing pieces of shit with their "beta doesnt give an advantage", my ass.

Lets talk for a minute about something that has come up quite a bit lately: Integrity.

Integrity is defined as follows:

Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.

Now lets talk about someone who has no integrity, Elleffgee. He lost it all the minute he allowed his friend to post X rated, obscene pictures that would not be allowed to be shown on HBO. When confronted about this, he resorted to banning all the members of Dissolution from his website because he has no integrity. To further tarnish his image, he went so far as to permantly ban me for calling him a pussy bitch who plays favorites (something he clearly did with this situation) and then, in an act of extreme cowardice he edited my post saying I am the pussy, while at the same time, as I mentioned making it so I may never post there again to reply. What a little girl.

Frankly, I dont care that I am banned from that site. If I wanted to post on a site where the moderators/admin ban people for speaking against them and play favorites, allowing their friends to do/say/post anything they want even when others are not allowed to do so, I would post on the offical SOE boards because at least those are official and not run by some unimportant nobody.

To you LFG, you had a chance for a real good site there, grats on ruining that. I may be the first person you banned because I spoke out against you, but others will have the same happen to them just as they did on the SOE boards. You have started your own decline with this issue proving your no better than SOE and far less important in the grand scheme of things. Enjoy the only friends you have left, your new friends in Vagabonds and that is only for the fact you are apping to them. Its a shame some of them can no longer understand right from wrong because of an application.

Love it or hate it, Dissolution brings the drama wich is what people love to read. Dissolution has now been banned by LFG from his site, and as you said yourself LFG, we were responsible for more people there than anyone else by a large margin. Your a fool and a hipocrit. I hope your lack of integrity, ethics, and morals keeps you warm at night, because the laughter I get at your expensive will tide me over for months.

Hold the phone, 1 month later....

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?
