If you could "fix" any one thing in EQ what wouldFollow

Feel your class is gimped some, maybe an item you think would be kool, or how about a quest?

If you could change or add any one thing to EQ what would it be?


Personally me as a wizard....I'd either change the mobs resists at the high end or make it easier to land spells(like make lure completely irresistable and make draughts something like -300 and make the high end main nukes -150). Why you ask?? well I've been reading on graffe and seeing it in game...Rogues make wizards not as useful these days...Now on graffe they want nerfs on rogues or better items and spell for us......the simple thing is this lower resists.

Oh and if that weren't possible to do I'd just get rid of frogs >_>

That's not a bad one at all =) infact you could take it to all lvls(I'd love a revamped VT!!!) and maybe add some more named mobs and quests to the lower lvling zones so you can grind and get stuff in the process(that is useable =) )

I have way too much fun playing the game to worry about "fixing"
it.

It's a game...play it.

It isn't a broken down old car, that you need to budget your paycheck to repair...

or a fixer-upper house that we need to buy a gallon of paint at a time to repaint...

It is a game, it is a blast to play, enjoy it ...really....

Sony seems to have the mindset of: If it ain't broke, fix it till it is.

Someone hide this thread before one of SOE's techs sees it.

Personally I think they need to quit ******** with the classes and work on everything else they seem to be neglecting.

If you are upset because your war cant solo higher lvl's then role a class that can. Every class has it's strong and weak points. Thats the reason you have the option of picking what you want to be.

I second this. Seems EQ, is incompatible with more and more of the common programs that run on lots of PC's. Other games, even though higher quality graphics and higher memory usage run MUCH more smoothly than EQ. It's getting frustrating.

i would make it load faster, zoning faster and closing the program faster. this was the single thing that i liked better about WoW. It is probably impossible to redo that sort of thing at this point.

I would love it if they would instance a crap load more zones. Make it to where a group of 6 lvl50s can raid Vex Thal. Or make it to where a group of 4 lvl40s can take on Naggy. Or on the flip side, make it to where an instanced Naggy is comperable to the lvl of peeps in the group. I know there are tons of issues to think about when doing this, but I personally will probably never get to do dragon raids, and the biggest boss mob I've taken down is Drusella Sathir in HS with a friend. I would love to see some of the zones that will always be out of my reach.

You have no idea how much easier it is to do a CR now then it was even 2 years ago my friend. I'm not trying to flame you, I'm just stating that they are continually making it easier (I actually LOVE the guild lobby corpse summoners).



This is in the game, and has been since... forever as far as I know. Some time ago (a year maybe?) they changed it so that you have a ramping effect on HP regen while sitting down. The longer you sit, the more you regen per tick. I actually thought it was the other way around for EQII: sitting and standing has no effect on hp/mana regen, only the food/drink you select?

The one thing I would change... allow mana regen spells to have an effect on bards. I'm not talking the full effect. I'm just saying a partial. I understand why there's a mana regen limitation on bards. Swarm kiting could get out of hand if say KEI had it's full effect on us. It wouldn't be the end of the world to give us a partial mana regen effect though, say a 20% effect for instance. 2-3 mana per tick at level 46+ isn't super unbalancing as far as swarm kiting goes, but it can have a huge effect on getting enough mana back for a fade after you die. I know there are plenty of bard haters out there though and it seems SOE lost the original notes on "coding the bard", so this change will probably never happen.

I think that would only work if they made a long lockout timer on it. The Msha's get farmed hard and having a few guilds competing for them is an artificial way of slowing down the progression. Sucks I know, but when my guild first got there, we were 1 of 2 guilds there and we were hittin them hard (well, they were, I'm a slacker and tend not to get on until late). If you make it instanced with the lockout being the same as the current repop, an entire guild could be outfitted in Qvic gear in a week (give or take). In the end though, I guess I don't really care if it's instanced or not, so just ignore that bit if you want.

You're right. Its not a priority. I have RL stuff to take care of.. but this post is opinions of things we can fix. Its just something I'd wish for.

Granted, its not exactly on topic of "fixing" stuff, cause its not really broke. My apologies for getting off topic. Its just a wish.

I would close whatever bug/exploit/loophole it is that is allowing common players to afford 4,000,000pp worth of armor at level 45. Upper end armor has become insanely expensive as of late and yet somehow it is still selling. It used to be you could get a few top end pieces of gear for 150K Now I would not be able to top out one slot with tradeable gear for that. Where is all of this PP coming from?

I would start with flagging any account of a low level toon that makes more than one transaction for more than 100k PP in a day for review. Im sure many of them are legit but many of them must be plat sellers. It doesn't have to be visible to the player at all. Just something that the GM's glance over at the end of the day to look for trends. (I.E. a lvl 1 toon repeatadly logs in and hands over 100k trades to completely different accounts several times a day then quickly logs off for weeks on end).

Rogues always were intended to have more sustained DPS than wizards, wizards make up for it in utility (snare, root, port, etc) and burst damage . Wizards are intended to have 90% rogue sustained DPS IIRC. If you want to see a class that is alarmingly gaining DPS in the high end game, check out monks.

Now that being said I have heard of a bug lately that is allowing Rogues to Crit constantly, I do not know the details but that is a bug and not a class balancing issue.

Put the vendor GUIs back to the way they used to be.

It's annoying enough to have that butt-ugly line output vendor GUI. That's just an aestetics thing. I can deal with that. But then they changed the behavior so that the "common" items that any given vendor sells were at the bottom of the list instead of the top (making me have to scroll the the bottom to buy the food/drink that used to be right there at the top for example).

Then they had to ***** it up again. I noticed about a week or so ago, they change them so that all items are listed alphabetically on every vendor. Holy Crap! What the hell were they thinking!?

Make the stuff that the vendor sells natively (ie: always has) apear at the top of the list of items on that vendor. Have all other items on that vendor (stuff players have sold to them) appear at the bottom in alphabetical order. Point is that when I go to a vendor to buy specific stuff that I know that vendor has (foor/water at one, potions at another, maybe specific tradeskill stuff at another), it would be *really* nice if the same items were in the same spot every time. It used to be that way before SoE screwed with the GUIs.
