On a random note, has anyone "beaten" GoD yet? I haven't played really since GoD came out and haven't followed it....

The very first thing wrong with the epic 1.5 and epic 2.0............
was calling them epic 1.5 and epic 2.0.
Not only does it bring to mind the concept of correcting and revising a system which was horribly implemented in the first place and caused a good portion of grief in EQ in general which to this day continues to cause problems, but it's not even close to being in the spirit of an RPG element.

Clearly he didn't know about half the f*****g epics that were harder than his. Offhand I can think of Warrior, Cleric, Mage and Shadow Knight that were all harder than the f*****g Druid epic even before the spawnable Faydedar was implemented.

see i like the fact that "most" people have a chance at getting the 1.5 one and the 2.0 one is only for the l33t players. gives something to everyone and so far the 1.5 ones dont seem to have a bunch of c**k blocks with everyone fighting over the same spawn , anyone running around a HUGE zone for weeks on end looking for fuckign quilmane, you don't need to beg 30+ people to do each step with you and the few times you do need help there is some loot for the helpers....
seems to me they did this rather well .

Druid epic 1.0 was tough. I think I needed a total of 7 people to help me. Of course, Fay and VS were harder in the past, but at least they didn't have to go get some ridiculous drop in Hateplane or Plane of Sky: Isle 14
And the rogue epic was even better!

Did you understand a single thing I said?
The ORIGINAL EPICS were the first of many horribly implemented ideas. Calling it an epic 2.0 only back images of that original chaos because the whole point of a later revision is that something's been improved.... oh f**k it.

So far it's been:
Forage in rathe mts.
kill some 2-4 hour repop goblins in LoIO
start some s****y goblin hide and seek event in FM (which you have to have 100 skill in goblin for and a goblin illusion thing.)
Kill some named ulthork that only spawns if you have the bag from the RM forage being handed in to some b***h in EK, then give what he drops to an OTHMIR in cobalt scar. Lets not forget that 98.7% of all druids are kos to othmir from quadding for 7 aa per day + 3 tailoring points!
Oh well. I guess it serves us right for being able to solo our first epic while training people and ninjaing loot. |
Faydedar camp 1.5 inc.. seriously we couldnt do our first epic solo no way... druid epic was prolly one of the hardest epics in the f****n game maybe even worse than cleric before they changed both of um. |
Druid epic is about as hard as falling off a log drunk.

No, GoD has not been finished yet. One half of the final zone is basically thought to be broken as the first mob of that wing is impossible, even at Lvl 70 they saying, the way it now stands. But they were too busy working on OOW to finish tuning GoD.
Its also been said and rumored that originally OOW and GoD were supposed to be one expansion, and when split OOW should have been the one released first, but that may just be rumor. GoD was meant to have a higher level cap and was tuned for either 67 or 70th level but they decided not to raise levels at last minute, but never retuned the content.
And the reason a lot of the epics are being finished faster this time, is because everyone has been cooperating on the class boards instead of trying to hoard info to be the first one finished. Most folks that found steps posted them to the boards, and even the different classes have been helping each other out.

No epics have been completed.
The sparkly items you're seeing now are the intermediate reward. They are Quarm quality items, and people have been able to farm those pretty easily for some time now. They're certainly not epic quality items, and I'm not sure why people would expect 1.5 to take an epic amount of time.

I hated the f***ing mage epic. Im glad that they eventually made it so the earth staff wasnt a 1 in a million drop, though.

well they solved the enchanter 1.5 now.. they need to rework the click effects.. chanters get a 1500 pt rune but considering it has a 10 min recast and staff of the four had an 800 pt rune and no recast its not to good imo

no but still it shows the effects are kinda lacking.. its not like they gave it to a warrior or anything chanters are the ones who get the rune line in the first place.

For a bard only weapon, the ratio seems lacking too!

Shrug. It's kinda nice, you can mod it with two augs as well which isn't bad. Clicky is kinda eh, but overall it's neat and the graphic looks nice.
Wonder what 2.0 is like.

Yeah lol I got so lucky on mage epic. Someone in guild had an earth staff they could mq with me.
I think it was something like less then 20 mage epics could be completed a year if inno had a good drop rate of staves and was killed everytime he spawned. That wasnt including server crashes and shit.
