Re: new stuff

There sure is a lot of exclamations and anger around here. There are already enough onerous issues between "Raid" and "Group" Mages, and that is in the SoE ether and is before we started sniping at each other. Hearing "I'm gonna quit if it doesn't get better," ad infini...

Re: Who is this troll on eqlive ?

Yeah there is the possibility that he's not "real". The character he points out in the post is in a bona fide guild (Resolution) on my server. Apparently, anyway. If this is his "brother" posting he's not going to be happy. On a completely different subject, since I'm typing, RS ...

Re: Who is this troll on eqlive ?

He is a burnout. Players forget that what is "easy" for them comes with intimate familiarity of class, and that what has become rote and routine for them really is not straightforward. The idea of the Mage pet being some separate "entity" has existed from the start; Verant was le...

Re: Well, no Yitamin, so EOLS up for grabs.

This is being handed off. She's asked for anonymity (I don't blame her.)

Yeah Voro's right - I always come back. When I can.

See you around.

Re: new stuff

There is communication. There is negotiation. You just cannot do it out in plain sight.

Yes, Tulisin is retarded.

Re: new stuff

And I'm on board with Sued. Like last year, we should ask for the moon. Let the devs water the stuff down, worry about class balance, and what class we are infringing on. Just ask for the smurf ability and let the Devs sort it out. It's better to start out OP and get watered down because the revers...

Re: Well, no Yitamin, so EOLS up for grabs.

It is free btw. Mage privilege. I have a few people interested. I'll random 1-X and give it to that guy/gal.

Well, no Yitamin, so EOLS up for grabs.

Well, I have been semi-waiting-around for Yitamin to show up since I promised him my EOLS in olden times, but he's not been anywhere to be seen, and as far as I have been able to discover, has not been in anyone's sights for quite some time. Holler if you want the EOLS. In-game email's fine. I'm Ter...

Re: new stuff

The idea that "you give up X if you get Y" which seems to happen both in the developers' work and (oddly) in the Mage collective consciousness, and we could find ourselves in the soup again. I asbolutely do not buy the idea that "Mage pets will be fine - they will continue to boost th...

Re: 86+ pets very underwhelming...

Placing a sizable DPS boost from the focuses on a single pet, fire's, from each successive focus will not break the group game and would help the mages that raid. The pet is a wizzie - make it act like one, unable to tank worth a smurf but providing a semi-decent nuke ability of its own OR pray tel...
