Tiamat eq changes

Postby Jhorr » Tue Mar 02, 2004 12:12 am

From someone who doesn't own a Tiamat item, I think the recent downgrades are a little overboard. Tia items are supposed to be special, not on par with ET and Muspel items.

Sorry to post this here, the Object Forum was closed.

I don't own any, but I tend to agree. I can understand that there would be reasons to change them, but perhaps the points could have been allocated differently so that the items would still be hands down the best around - e.g. the staff could have lost DI but retained hps.

I'm going to reiterate here that I think putting such a racially slanted stat on a Tiamat item like infra seems to be a huge waste of points on such a high-tier item. There is one particular stat that ALL rogues seem to be in need of, and that's hitpoints, so downgrading the hps on one of the very few really nice rogue hps items in the game and leaving a stat that only the minority of rogue players needs is a waste on an item which should be the ultimate piece in a rogue's kit.

Racially biased stats should be placed in other zones, not in the one zone that should have the highest tier items in the game.

Well, slightly different to what Ashiwi said.

Sure have an item with infra, but make it an item that all humans/barbs would want to wear.

Or have an item that enhances rogue abilities, but have it enhance for all rogues.

Its a counterproductive move.. that is if the gods have any intention of retaining interest in the game. When you and all your alts are level 50, and you have been to every zone at least 10x, and your wearing top notch eq, the only part of the game that still means anything is the part that eludes you. The artifact or the tia item that you want so bad but know you probably will never get... but just might get... Rather than nerf the special items.. they need to give a few out once in a long while.. Enough of this uniformity sanitizing bullshit...

But hey, its only counterproductive if the gods are actually interested in retaining interest in the game... and not ooc. *whistle* :)

Are we ever going to get an official comment on this?
