Are you done being retarded? Are you?!
Ok, so since the SOE boards are the only boards worth a damn, ive been reading them a bit more lately. Granted I cant post there, but oh well. Anyways, recently SOE made a change to the loot in Inner Sanctum wich amounts to a big "Fuck You" to the high end raiding scene and basically telling us to go fuck ourselves if we want progression and play World of Warcraft.
The first thread on the issue was locked, although I cant really tell why, but a second one soon popped up. You can read them for yourselves but I just wanted to point out one particular post on the third page

Listen to reality, this is how gear goes from EoF. it goes from instanced set gear, to contested gear, there IS NO GOD [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] MIDDLE GROUND. currently a mob that our guild prolly could 2 grp, drops the same as a lvl 75X4 with 3X4 adds also lvl 75. Inner Sanctum was meant to be HARDER THEN EH... EH WAS MEANT TO BE CLEARED FIRST... this has been prevented due to two reasons... 1 SoE has totally effed up and made Inner Sanctum about the quality of labs.... yes a pickupraid can clear it, and yes a pickupraid CAN kill tarinax, cos in SoE's wisdom they made the drontal do about 50% of a lvl 69 legendary geared mystics HP.
anyways back on topic, 2nd reason, is because EH woulda been cleared weeks ago, but HEY there is 15 seconds of u stand there and get beat down by a mob, because SoE designed the zone / charm/ something wrong to cause enormous insane amounts of lag...
are you guys done being retarted? are you? if you still think that the entire GAME should be as well equouued as dusso . sd . NPU untill contesteed die, please refrain from ever posting again, and go stand in the corner.
Thanks!"
Ok granted, there are a lot of spelling mistakes and whatnot, but this post is hilarious. It sounds like something I would have posted and wish I could. I dont know who shameful11 is, but I am glad there are still people out there calling out the retards and just telling them exactly what they are.
I could read that post over and over for hours, and I just might.

Seriously though did you really expect anything else from Sony?
EQ2 is so serious flawed in so many aspects - loot, progression, crafting, farming etc...
But the most serious flaw has to be the idiotic skill/stat/mitigation curves. With the new reclining resistance / mitigation curve, any value above 6K is useless (and values from 4-6K are not really that useful either). Stat bonuses are not linear, but increase in steps. Base effect of all this is of course that relic armor is just as good the new set armor. It is incredible that they haven't learned that you can not balance a game with logarithmic curvatures - you need LINEARITY to do proper balancing. Great news though (for EQ2 at least) Vanguard doesn't use linear calculations so it will eventually suffer from much the same issue (either over powered players or impossible mobs).
Of course the genious of the EQ2 development group is displayed perfectly in the Mayong encounter. They probably said to themselves; "Let's make an AOE that de-levels everyone - that would be really cool". So they made the de-level AOE and tested it with 1-2 developer toons and it worked. In that process they 'forgot' that a raid consists of (usually) 20+ people, so when Lagyong fires his AOE, the server grinds to a halt while it calculates the new stats/mitigation/resistances/attack/skills for each player.
While on halt the rest of the encounter is still played out but queued up for final delivery (ie. the mobs can still use auto-attack since those are time based and can be calculated backwards in time). End result - a wiped raid. I guess no-one told the developers that they should probably pre-calculate the debuff while the raid is bored killing 3M health mobs. Seeing same issues on encounters in EH - well done!
I love when anonymous people want me to quit.
