    It hasn't been very consistent though. TDS to TBM was a pretty small increase and RoS to TBL was a little too much. Or yeah maybe they just add a couple more augs.

    We need more mudflation, not less.

    Let’s be honest, we all like more stats. Some of you just enjoy pain and slow EQ. ;)
  4. Sheex Goodnight, Springton. There will be no encores.

    You monster, how could you?!

    I did that by choosing the stats for this expansion last expansion (I did not make any actual items, simply chose stats)
    Meh. I generate stats, then "Hand Tweak" heroics, hand add AC (the tool I uses doesn't handle AC), Hand edit augments (yeah, tool doesn't do them either), hand edit weapon damage, hand add spells.
    Then a few tweaks here and there.
    Now things like the 4 evolving items... that *is* almost all "hand edited"

    Because you called me a monster and hurt me in the feels, I am going to Thanos snap the belts and make them 15% next expansion!

    And if Sancus doesn't like this post, then I will make it 10%!

    Let me guess the order of time spent creating each new expansion's items, please correct me if I'm wrong:

    stats < item graphics < names <<<< figuring out why the damn item focus/procs aren't working <<<<<<< writing genius lore text that makes multi-level references that only you and a select group of people get

    The darned spells are a PITA... and we do names at the same time we do the obscure lore :)

    any chance the enhancement augs can not be so ABSURDLY rare? not asking them to drop like candy for God's sake

    The RNG is the RNG but I probably have have 8 toons with just about every slot 18 their class could want, not that they all can use them yet. Plus given away probably 150+ to guildmates or general. Much of this occurred well before he increased the drop rate a few months ago. And have yet to see an enhancement drop.

    I know he already said no to putting them on a vendor but really should be a quest that if you turn in 20 or even 40 slot 18's you then get to pick one of your choice.

    I feel...uncomfortable with just how much Ngreth has “handled” my gear. o_O

    That would be nice. Still have never seen an Enhancement version drop. Seen everything else multiple times over.

    How many expansions have Sharpshooting IX showed up on gear without an upgrade? The Eighteenth expansion? How many years ago ? Level 95?

    Then don't do it. Add more content, fix bugs that are all over the game and deal with other long neglected issues rather than waste all your time giving us old spells with new names and a stat boost. I'm so sick of you guys thinking levels = content and then doing a lousy job of it.
  17. Brohg Augur

    levels are content. They're the most content. Levels open up existing and fully developed challenges to the masses.

    So items should be the stub names we see on beta with no icons (Currently the default Icon I use is a question mark... cloth cap lead to a small amount of confusion) or graphical appearance other than a bag? Examples of the stub names:
    tank mask //RT1 agidex
    all mask //RT1 strsta
    all mask //RT1 intwis
    all neck //RT1 AC
    all neck //RT1 agidex
    all neck //RT1 strsta
    all shoulders //RT1 agidex
    all shoulders //RT1 strsta
    all shoulders //RT1 AC
    all shoulders //RT1 intwis
