All to save the Gish


Notes1
On the progression
2-2-2-2-1-1-1 and 2-222-111 and 7 and 33, and 11
Raids at 31/32/33 make 35 top. Natural is to conform to +3 or level.
So a 33 running 35 is only +2
The intro middle and end is a harmonic octave
Natural to raise max level to 33.
The true legendary levels.

Notes2
I prefer no Poe.

Notes3
Thunder and lightning were used in this creation.

Hi Welcome

[Hobgoblin]

Hi Welcome

so its ok for devs to use a banned phrase, but not players?

[waryJerry]

What's with all the Doctor Johnson, Lynnabel? You're not admitting to an English lit degree I hope?

[Steve_Howe]

so its ok for devs to use a banned phrase, but not players?

The phrase itself is not banned. It depends how it's used.

[Uska]

Meh

One for sure not is lvl 33

[Vish]

Hi Welcome

It also conforms to the Gaussian curve, or standard normal distribution.

And thank you, I think...

Hi Welcome

Lynnabel, I know you’ve been with us long enough to appreciate the following:

You just went full Plume de Soleil! You never go full Plume de Soleil!

dumb stuff

so dumb. how was this even worth the seemingly extensive length of time to post.

'Oly cripes! Get over yourself and your highly subjective opinions.

Imagination much?

<3 the idea OP!!!

cant bro, im already at the top, after getting over everyone else.

his plot or whatever i didnt read, its besides the point. theres no way theyre releasing that much content, and a new race, and a new class. and sentient weapons and lvl 30 dont make sense at this point. why would you do sentient weapons to just replace lgs? maybe when they need a new cash cow, but this soon? and lvl 33...just so many reasons... id just leave if they actually did that. worst idea by far right there. like honestly, its scary.

[Coyopa]

Hi Welcome

The important question is: Will you draw an infraction for this?

[LightBear]

I speak gibberish quite well tho I have no clue what those notes are about.

[Ghwyn]

Great idea OP. I would love to see that made.

[kmoustakas]

Can we fix legendary greensteel bugs first? Or is are we supposed to totally forget about it and play with the new toys?

[Vish]

That quote is not in this post (dumb stuff)... Are you putting words in my mouth?
Or at the least taking things out of context?
Not appreciated. Please don't do this again.

There is an octave and a curve fitted to this progression.
The notes were intended as mystical, my take on the insight of the numbers.

This is my way of saying what I think a legendary arc would look like: gith, Tiamat, dispater, and travel to the astral planes. And the Hells.

A little story.
Back when I was younger and running a campaign in the forgotten realms, I had my players encounter the gith. I believe it was a module from a dungeon magazine, but I heavily modified it.
It was as epic as they could be, and they loved it. They were not high level (that campaign got up to 12th? Level), and it presented challenges to them they had never encountered.
What I recall is that the gith were worthy opponents, set in an exotic location, with wondrous treasures. They completed the quest and had stories to tell.
How often do you get to travel the astral planes?

So when this news broke, I did my research (it's all in the wiki) and looked at what I thought would present the greatest challenge. This conclusion brings in a new race, new class, and introduces something over the top for those level 33 challenges: sentient weapons.
Seems the general consensus is that LGS is a fail. I know I don't grind for it, rather loathe it actually.
So yes, new shinies are in order. A carrot on steroids perhaps. Something to keep us at cap.

Now, I think what I offered may be beyond the teams ability to produce. But I put together in a cohesive mix, trying to offer the best of what I heard might be on the table.

This is what I would die to play for at endgame.

The phrase itself is not banned. It depends how it's used.

This is the context in which it was banned. Simply click the "report" button and move on.
