True. But I think the commonality of some of the items is similar. Only one really good item loads in SPoB at a time. . . Maybe I should change that statment. Only one really good item SHOULD load in SPoB at one time. Heart items should stay realtively the same. . .but the strength of the lower leve...

Pheten, you can say that of many zones. . . For example: Jot Invasion: Best hat/hats for warrior. Best belt for many warriors/paladins / Twilight Thats 3-4 topshelf warrior items (or were/will be when things are balanced) Seelie: One of the best belts in the game, two of the best cloaks in game for ...

Well, I can't comment on all the other class items but lets look at the warrior items. I honestly don't think that every warrior item is 'best for each respective slot in game'. That is really relative. Earring: +2 +2 prot gas Evaluation: Damn good earring. Perfect for warriors, some rangers, many r...

Waelos

This may sound a bit self serving. . . but you really should leave the warrior items alone. Why? Well, really there are only ever 3 warrior/warrior types that go to the zone. It is so caster dependent that more casters win the heart, thus making warrior items more rare. Then again, I guess casters c...

Get 'em Both!

What I've found with the X-box is that it has more 2 player co-op games than does the PS2. Seems like the PS2 was made for folks who have no friends or who just like to beat on them (or get beat on). I do like the titles that PS2 has.

Hope this helps

Move Stormlord to random load in Jot.

I think Jot needs another neat-0 rare to find and that'll allow for more beefy stats =)

Sad that there is such knee jerk reations. I think it has been stated several times that everything is being looked at on a case by case basis, and things that are out of whack will be fixed. Sad to see someone quit over one item that may or may not be 'permawhacked'. Take some time off, then come b...

My only point is, there are tons of items as 'rare' as the Scorp earring is. I think the stats were perfect before at 3 / 1. Not sure why people all of a sudden are pushing for 3 / 3 sense life proc kill (an exaggeration, I realize). But really, lets push for balance. 3/1 scorpion earring, with slow...

Waelos

Depends on what the 6 items are ;)

Waelos

All I am saying is that if something is soloable, even if by a few people, then the quest is not as hard as others. Also, using "lots of people try the quest at the same time, therefore its harder" is flawed. Should we upgrade Jot/Musp? Well, everyone rushes to get up there. . . hrmm, makes it harde...

Waelos

Agreed. But how much? As demonstrated there are items of similar rarity that have similar stats. Why it was ever changed from 3 1 I'll never know.

Does anyone who reads this thread think that 3/1 isn't an acceptable compromise?

Waelos

The cloak now has more hps than most of the 'uber' caster eq. Although I don't see why the change was from a tank item to a pure caster item, i do believe it is still a top teir item.

Waelos

Uh... sorry to say, this quest is not hard. It wasn't even all that hard when I was the first person to ever complete the quest. Hell, you can SOLO the WHOLE quest. What makes it a pain is the rarity of the mobs involved. If you are going to give stats based on rarity, then items like the Netheril b...

Waelos

Maybe SPoB can retain its stats if we come up with a bigger risk. .. What if we simply allowed characters to enter SpOB with their equipment. .. but it shifts into 'Ghostly' Eq that has 1/4 or less of the stats they currently have? Or maybe no stats at all. That way you have the risk of other zones ...

Waelos

not sure I see any additional maxcon eq except girdle from Scorps. . .I miss something? =)

Waelos

What is your Dex? High dex counters fumbles. . . also, since you wield 2 weapons, you'll fumble 2X as much ;)

Waelos

Urm. . . Rangers/ Dires get the sense life spell. . . At least rangers do =)

Perm sneak would be too strong imho...

Giving dires the scent ability would be cool I think...

Otherwise I think they need more combat abilities and for melee to be balanced =)

Solo'd king?

Waelos

*laugh* that was alot of fun =) I think the razor should be kinda better than it is. . . maybe 2dam 5hps ac 5? Might be a good compromise =)

Waelos

Heya! The general consensus was that these changes would do something to assist melee classes in getting a 'leg-up'. From what I've seen of alot of weapons is that they got little to no love. . . Why aren't more 1h weapons +4 +4? or +5 +5? And why oh why are most 2h weapons not at least 8/8? Heck, 1...

Yes, this has already been discussed. . . and I still come to the same conclusion. The people who want a Pwipe can really form their own club and pretend like there was a Pwipe.

and float/nodrop? or just magic? THanks for your support! =)

Waelos

Oh yeah. . I've got 100 +3 arrows and over 50 +4 arrows. . . never even bothered ID'ing them until now. Maybe I am an anomolie but my melee far outpaces archery, perhaps it is even against warrior mobs with shields. As bad as melee is atm, I think archery needs some serious lovin'! Maybe we need to ...

Hello! I was wondering if this object should also have magic and !drop or float. Considering how difficult it is to obtain, ponding it would be a shame. . .and if it is a blade of light it should be semi-magical at least =) You feel informed: Object 'light blade', Item type: WEAPON Item can be worn ...

I can't remember what I was straight up from changes. . .but now that I've moved some eq around (actually 2 or three items). I'm now at 31 48, -95 AC without spells, 554 hps (loss of about 30), -3para, -2petri, -10 breath, -10 spell. Most of the eq I wear can transfer to my warrior. . . so Im guessi...

I'm fine. . . there wasn't an option for 'I've improved, keep making things better' though ;) As far as newbies getting the shaft. . . I don't think so. I just think that there are about 70% of the items left out there that people have not ID'd yet. A TON of mid-low level items are really quite spif...

I think what Kosaj is trying to say is that why give tanking abilities to a class that can't rescue well enough to put them into play during a zone group. I can see the logic.

Waelos

Hrmm. . . not sure I think AC is a problem either. . . I shifted 1 or two items around and I have -92 without spells. . .and could get -100 if I swapped out one item. I think its just a matter of shifting some gear around =)

I think I did mention something about creating a 'club', didn't I? that means taking friends that feel the same way you do and pretending there was a wipe.

EQ changes for sure. When they DO come in, everyone is going to be sitting around and ID'ing piles of stuff for two weeks anyway.

Seriously. There are a number of threads detailing the benefits around here somewhere. . . and I can not think of a single drawback. (No, casters won't be any less 'usefull' than they are now. Y'all know that.

While I think we all know differently, Sav. . . it was stated that the eq from the 'new zones' (Seelie, SpoB, PI, etc) were already 'balaced' and would not be changing along with the rest of the gear.

Ashod, I really like the idea. . . and I think that it could work. Oteb - I think that this needs to be balanced for game play, not necessarily for 'reality' sake.
