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?

Avatars are not IMPOSSIBLE we have managed to make 2 of the 3-4 that have spawned for us very stable fights. Getting one to 61% on 3rd try. And another to 52%. I think Disso is just not capable of adapting quick enough to this expansion and cant handle the thought of some random guild being better than them. Too many ego's there and its just making people irritated.
regardless of dissolution's success, and what % you say your guild got a mob down to...the fact is SOE devs are brainless fucks who could give a rats ass about completing anything on time, or the way it should be. WoW has encounters that make eq2 look like a pile of dog shit. All an eq2 dev has to do is play WoW, and learn. WoW releases an instance, at launch, and thats IT. Minor re-working if ANY..and the fights are tough as hell....yet doable, and there is progression between fights. In this day and age...eq2's combat mechanics and lack of encounter progression is unacceptable. Maybe if this game was out when Ultima Online was, you would accept it and be awed. But now?? I really do not understand why people play eq2 anymore.
An anonymous guy claims to have stabilized a fight yet cant even get it half way dead, and insults disso? Lol.
Your not even half way, your not even close. I have no idea who you are or what guild your in, but if you were one of the few guilds who were among the first handful killing the matron you would know that from 25-0% was as hard or harder as 100-25%. You havent even begun the fight against an avatar.
Hell before the matron was made kilable both us and second dawn I know of, possibly more were getting the matron to aroudn 50%, but we couldnt kill it. It took that extra change because it was impossible.
Lol and what grounds do you have to stand on that we cant adapt to change? Lets see, we formed 1 month before DoF, world firsted some stuff in DoF, KoS came out and we world firsted some stuff there, TFD came out and granted we didnt world first anything there but we were among the first guilds to beat the content still. We have killed everything in EoF that anyone has killed (except random names that have not spawned for us) and have killed more than many. So do you have any facts to back up your claim at all?
Anyways, back to the Avatars, if they are not impossible why is it you cant get it to 50% even? If you come forward with who you are i will bet my account vs yours that the avatars are at the very least tweaked before anyone kills one without exploiting. If I am right, you quit, if your right, Ill quit.
