Fest...

Ok---

I have played the new content.....and I have some comments and grades:

1. A+ for the artwork....nuff said. Just wish you fellas woulda added a level 1 spell (undersun) so we could ALL see the wonderful art w/o compromising our combat ability.

2. One new raid?!?!?!? and limited content...really?!!?!? D- When the game was first released there were 2 raids (I think) but lots of content (relatively speaking). I figured for the money we were getting more is all.

3. Completion times for new quests B+ Since most of the quests can be done quickly if you want or take your time and do optionals. I like this format so that zergers can zerg and roleplayers can play.

4. Commidations, New Raid Gear, Drop Rates---F The drop rates are abysmal and I might add that since there is absolutely NOTHING in this raid for healers, AND commodations are BTC (u gotta be f-in kiddin meh) getting someone to heal the raid is problematic at best. Additionally, the fact that there is NO Khopesh is a slap in the face to my khopesh using toons. And the weapons (for melee) seem at best a slight step up from greensteel (although I can't confirm this because I can'y pull a single weapon). I expected better from my level 25 gear, than a slight step up from level 12 gear. It looks like LOB weapons may end up better than what is dropping outta this raid.

5. Bugs F There are more spots and ways to bug the new content than I intend to go into in this post, but I expected better testing (although I'm not sure why).

6. Destiny's A This is a pleminary grade...I do feel that as I play through these that this grade will come down somewhat as it looks like the destiny's are mearly a way to "catch" players up to the the power of toons that have put in the time TR-ing and have pushed their toons to a noticable power creep. I also think that the destiny's have a limited scope. ie: If u r not a monk u can't realy utilize the flowers tree, also if u r not a FvS u can't make use of EA...ect... I have however had alot of fun advancing through the ED's.

Finally I have a few suggestions for fixes that may help/add some drama for ppl to coment on:

1. Make the drow equipment upgradeable to utilize the conflux (that way my khop users have a chance for nice gear also). For that matter make ALL of the new sets upgradeable with raid commodations (that will give healers a reason to run the raid).

2. Make all raid equipment BTA rather than BTC--again for the particapation quotient.

3. Have a teleport to me button for Anna. That way she stops getting stuck so easily.

4. Increase drop rates for commodations (at least).

5. Add to the destiny's to make them more universal. I'm not sure how to accoplish this but maybe a melee tree for the EA. And maybe some monk abilities for non monks...ect...

1) My healers have a reason to run the raid, exp and fun and camraderie with the other players.

2) Just no. If they do it for one, it will go crazy for all wanting all raid gear bta, and then it will go crazier from there. Adjust the drop rates for the raid loot, work on the raid itself since it's kinda just bizarre, but no bta.

3) Good idea, I think Anna is a drunk and doesn't know which way is up.

4) Drop rates are fine, it doesn't take me more than a week to farm out a full set for any particular toon. And the trade in makes it even easier to use useless comms for ones you need. Not everything should be obtainable immediately.

5) That is what twists are for. And it should be limited to a few non-destiny perks. The whole point of different classes is to be able to do different things from everyone else, if we start pushing the abilities around any more than they are classes will become pointless. Pick a couple great abilities from the other destinies to use, great, but beyond that is a bad idea.

I agree 100% with the above reply.

1. Nice to have friends that r healers I guess. For the rest of us....it's wait for an hour or more to fill citw which isn't cool. So respond again after ur healer friends r not on and u can get NO ONE to heal the raid since all gear/commodation r BTC.

Also u didn't adress the issue of the ugradeable weapons/gear for evrything droping outta the new areas. U have no comment?

2 & 4. And as I have said in the past, do it for ALL raids...what would it hurt really? And I doubt u farmed out an ESOS in a week. I also contend that should u be a dual hammer user, u don't have 2 upgraded hammers from citw (provide screenie for proof). And moreover, since I have several completions across multiple toons...enough to know that the drop rates r just bad. And let me clairify, I was primarily speaking about commodations from the raid (Heroic Commodations), not the quests, drop rates for those r just fine. Reguardless, all should be BTA. There is some other loots u could also put in here as well (house c stuff).

5. Again, the twists themselves r limited. And again let me clairify, I was speaking in leveling up the destiny in order to gain fate points. In many of the destiny's it was basically a waste of my time. I ground out the xp to cap said destiny and moved on (so I unlock/upgrade my twist) . So what could have been fun and maybe even a great time turned into grinding xp (again). I was expecting so much more.

1. A huge post just to draw attention around the "me me me" suggestion at #1.

2. I cannot ever agree to this. It is BTC for a reason. We don't want to see just Warforged Palemasters farming all the equipment for alts, and never really running the content with the alts.

3. Anna's AI can use a lot of work, but teleport to me button doesn't seem to be the right fix.

4. Heroic Commendations could use some help... maybe guaranteed one to show up every 10th completion reward list.

5. The destinies are pretty universal. If you are currently using a capped Shadowdancer, you get evasion.

Lets see:

1. What would u have me post, about what U want?!?! And yeah, it's about me, AND every other Khopesh user that plays the game. I guess I could resort to the THF ESOS that every other cookie cutter is using and has the ingreds for. that way we could completely eliminate TWF, and all those collision calculations that cause lag.

2. I don't see a better suggestion here either. I'm open to them....and this seems like a large post for a "me me me" for what U want. And if u have an issue WF pale masters, take it up with them. You could start crying for the nerf hammer, that seems to be the standard response in these forums. Again, if u have nothing better to do than wait to fill the raid, more power to u. I'd rather play the game. And let me attempt to be clear here, again, I'm not suggesting that the items/weapons be BTA, I'm suggesting that universal ingreds...such as binding shards (from lob), commodations, ect. be BTA.

3. The "teleport" suggestion is an obvious work arround. If u think the devs that STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE LADDER BUG can fix the ai, u give them more credit than I do.

4. Ahhh, finally something we can agree on.

5. The destiny's are NOT universal...I have played them ALL to cap. Just because u can suggest 1 outta 10 that gives something (evasion) for ppl who don't already have it (say a level 20 fighter) who would have to endure the rest of the shadowdancer tree (which is essentually useless) to get that evasion is just dumb. Maybe that tree could offer assination for that fighter with a dc based on his primary ability score, then u may have something. I would like to add here that u've given maybe the best example as well...now tell me, what does the EA tree give for that same fighter? As it stands, I stand by my assesment.

If you have a suggestion, like I said I'm open to them...
