Still no Epic Reaper XP update

[slarden]

But surely 1 to 10 takes a lot less time than 20 to 30?

And wouldnt the comparison be 1 to 20 vs 15 to 30?

my original plan was to run just 1 to 20 for racial life and reaper xp since I don't need epic life's but the reaper xp 20-30 is too good to pass up. I just won't get enough rxp 1 to 20 so I don't want to lose those first time bonuses from 30 life's. Plus you run out of tokens of 12 quick otherwise.

1 to 10 has different challenges almost nobody wants to run at level or above r1 during heroic leveling.

Higher skulls are completed easily for ranged and casters, most ppl don't run over r2 because they play melees.

I don't know I see a lot of warlock's in those 2 level over r1 pugs. The only pugs I've seen at my level range running at level heroic above r3 was a tempest spine r4 I joined with my level 8. There were quite a few deaths but capped players are running legendary tempest spine r10 on sarlona.

[slarden]

Most players doing r3+ are warlocks, arts or artlocks.

Besides the tempest spine I mentioned I have seen nobody else besides me posting r3+ at level in the past two weeks at my level range. The most warlocks I had in my group is 2. I do think warlock is op at heroics but there are other builds doing well in reaper at heroic levels but those builds require an experienced pilot.

Yes, running reaper XP at cap is like...

...DPSing with a radiant servant.
...self healing in reaper with a rogue.
...DPSing with a melee bear druid.

Running anything epic is pretty pointless nowadays unless you want ePLs. That is why in my server there tends to be a proportion over 5:1 for heroic to epic LFMs.

Everyone agrees that there are massive disincentives to staying at cap in the current meta. So cap oriented players can:

- suck it and racial TR like everyone else
- play solo at cap (solo reaper at cap...rolf), on occasion find a group (it is hard)
- not play and fall behind massively in the reaper XP grind, and hence not be competitive for Ravenloft.

I think it is funny (in a bitter way) that when I had a thread stating that falling behind in the reaper AP grind + racial grind would result in missing out on very important bonuses I was told that you don't need many reaper APs to remain competitive. Brought to you by the same people who are posting around saying how much power you get with reaper APs.

The regular players in my guild are >1 million reaper XP. We have some people done with their racial TRs (30), and plenty approaching it, even people with alts.

I think it is ridiculous to claim that this is long term. Long term my backside! This is just creating a gulf between serial TRs and people who, for whatever reason (time, dislike heroics) will not jump on that hamster wheel.

Great way to prepare the new end game.

Do not expect an answer. This has been going on for months, at this point does it even matter anymore?

Every time Rys and I played in these two days there were max 2-4 Epic LFMs at all the times, but more commonly 1 or 2. Heroic has always had 10+ LFM.

I do not expect an answer for anything at this point, but the thread is here for the community as well. As it was seen in multiple threads already in the previous months, pretty much everyone agrees with the OP (with the obvious few people who disagree for whatever reason). It was stated by Severlin as well that RXP in Epic and Legendary is awful, but then nothing is done, as usual.

Do we have to...

Wait for Ravenloft™ ?

The funniest part is that everyone in the forum agrees that it needs an update, even people who often disagrees with each other. Heck, even SSG knows since Severlin has said it about 3 times in the past, but yet nothing is done.

Don't worry guys, we only have to wait 8-9 months before the actual change (from January to October).

Wait for Ravenloft™

Agreed. Epic reaper exp needs change, and badly. It is way too low and I never ever seen reaper epic contents ever on lfm... because no one will waste time with such a little pay out.
