It is, kind of. But the times you can use it to gain an advantage are pretty limited. In reality it's really a convenience thing. Mostly when recovering from a wipe, when my looter needs to visit the parcel guy, etc.
Really it's nice for people that have friends in a fellowship that don't have a lot of play time. They can jump on and be able to play together quickly. Anything that allows people to enjoy the game with what time they have is good for EQ. There are lots of times I don't even log on because I won't be able to get -anything- accomplished in the time period I have to play.
Seriously doing 20 unity missions with no named popping is ridiculous when others are getting augs in 4 missions - the randomness makes the anniversary a joke - spent 4 days now and nadda. So sick of this
good for you - I think its ridiculous that I did 20 today and not one aug, and you got 4 in 6 - thats just bs - what the f are the devs thinking for an anniversary task - pissing ppl off???
It's RNG, stop getting angry at developers who made the drop rate for the two augs a 50/50 chance. You're unlucky. Get over it.
