congratulations
just wanted to stop and say
thanks for ruining ROOTS, one of the most interesting and unique zones in our world.
I haven't gotten a roots invite since the eq change, I've heard about it being done like all of 2x since the recent nerf, and I only got like 3 or 4 invites in the year after the !mage nerf.

Lemme guess, no one wanted to do Roots because there is only 1 thing there, it sucks compared to numerous other pieces, you need a big group for 1 suckass fight, and everyone stands around for a half hour waiting?
So, a unique zone in the game is essentially out of play because no one will go do it for the effort to rewards ratio.
Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe it gets done all the time and people don't like Kiryan so the lie about it.

nothing new prompted this post, just bringing an old subject up again.
roots should get more exposure. its very unique and has always had subtle difficulty. the zone has basically been wasted for the last 2 years.
Give it a rare load or do something so that more people will experience it.

I've heard of the idea of making EM elf only, if roots gets an upgrade as a result of it that may be good, if it doesnt and roots gets done even less, thats a bad thing.
Just do something, its classic and its unique.

i say upgrade the zone instd of downgrading the belt. i was away for like 8 months and just recently found it was downgraded. i understand why it was cuz it's pretty easy zone for such an awesome belt. put more colossal in it and that should solve the problem. or give the spirit a insta death proc. have her turn into a goodie dragon and can continue to summon roots. upgrade the zone and make the belts what they use to be.

i don't know sok, the belt was a very skewed piece of eq and put all other belts to shame minus hit/dam eq if your a ranger or a rogue.
I don't think we can have it go back to its old stats, but the reward for this zone needs to increase somehow so it gets back to being visited at least 1x every two weeks.

If it's a fun zone, why don't you do it just for the fun of it?
Cuz it's not a fun zone for anyone but warriors and maybe a rogue now and again. :P

Cofen led a 5-man roots last night, just for "fun". He was able to solo clear the roots in 1 pop. The final 2 fights were easy. For as easy as the zone is, the belt is STILL a little overpowered.
I gotta tell you, I was bored to tears. Now, granted, it doesnt have to be done like that, but when you can do the whole zone in 25 minutes, what's the point of making it take longer? All that does is make 2-3 people really busy, and the rest of the group bored to tears instead of 1 person really busy with the rest of the group bored to tears.

I really like the way it is... if you know what your doing, no one afks, and you keep tight / on the ball, it is super fast and you get a rewards that I see a LOT of people using. If you mess it up it gets painful and difficult to CR, which makes it even more exciting!
While you do have some downtime at the start, it isn't long, and you know pretty much what is going on and how long you have, so you have a bit of banter about the progress and make jokes, and reminisce about whatever roots spank you were involved in or are about to be involved in. It isn't painful like playing the waiting game as a warrior waiting for a mage and a rogue to CR you for an hour of ambiguosly set time in many other zones.
I did hold 2 hearstones before the downgrade I must confess! (good spellsave and moves and were the right colour).
I do think a rare in the zone wouldn't hurt. Kinda like I have mentioned lots of times, maybe a 10% load of the regular item that is a bit boosted.. Would help older zones like CC, SG, roots, etc etc be done more often compared to the newer zones that have top end items because of their rarity. Even if a zone is boring and hard, there is something about having the top item in a slot that is very appealing to many, and having more than a handful of these items from even the most difficult zone can be a problem in terms of making the most of the 35000+ rooms we have. Roots belts currently however, I think fits into this category not too badly.
...PS 3 sleeps until I'm doing USA zone! :P *TOUCH*
