At this point mayong is clearly the team rocket of everquest. No matter how much he gets whooped he keeps showing up again for more. Come up with a new villain. There are more discordian generals that we haven't seen yet. Where are they? what are they up to? nah, we just gotta keep beating down this lame vampire.
I'd rather deal with Mayong than time-travelling, interdimensional beings. Hopefully, after ToL2 we go back to Zeb and he sends us back in time to stop Mayong. It could utilize several expansion themes with just a small cluster of zones.
Honestly, I don't mind mayong showing up every once in awhile. Kind of wish to have more of a "Infinity Stones" series of expansions. Even have Mayong be the "Thanos" could have started with TBL or ToV/CoV with the spear that Vulak used to power the restless ice. Instead of the barbarian chick on the cover art for 'Claws of veeshen" who stood next to Zlandicar assuming that it was probably "Sullon Zek?" Instead, it could have been a cloaked figure that comes in at the end an steals the spear or something. but yeah.... Could be elemental stones or just ancient elemental weapons long forgotten... but at the end... it will mistmoore... who wields all the weapons and phase will switch like crazy make it another mearatas raid. Each phase will take something from the past raids. Example: the ice prisons from vulak raid and being restless ice, whenever someone dies an add spawns, during a spear phase or some crap.
Have we ever beaten "the Nameless"? The god that created all the other gods... And what about Rodcet Nife, anyone who flies a real UFO, deserves a good looting...
I'm ok with Mayong, as long as he's not encased in an ice expansion raid like Kael 4.0 or something. 3 Kael's were enough. (I actually liked Kael, I'm just including it as a stand in for ice expansion)
Don't listen to him, every expansion should have MM unless it involves OMM. How many decades must we wait before another GoD/OoW theme expansion.
Mayong is my favourite Villain of EQ, but there are a bunch of Gods & goddesses (& "Spirit") deities which have never been seen in game. Mayong "should" be a recurring villain in the EQ universe, he has become so much more than a mere Vampire after all. But I'd be happy seeing some of the more obscure members of the deity ranks, and seeing some of the zones on the EQ maps that are still to be realised in game as zones.
Based on what he said at the end of Basilica I think there is more to come. Then he never did explain, so I think there is more. Unless they just forgot that part
It's weird cause the expansion overview and that lists Mayong as the bad guy, but the text in game makes Mayong seem like probably actually the good guy this time
He just needs a good kicking again, regardless of him being good or bad I have a dislike for vilians who think they can win us all over by being good once! Unless we go full circle and it turns out Firona Vie is evil and we can kill her instead......I actually like that idea, lets kill FV and make Laynis queen.
