It’s the Year of Darkpaw AMA time!

Can you make a new class, like (universal class) that can do everything, just like 1/3rd as strong as main classes?

edit # 1

we have bards and necros and beastlords.

i dont know how to delete this post.

But new class would actually be a hybrid off a hybrid, a bard. (obviously weaker songs). but can heal and cast spells and such

Will you guys ever heed the cries of the drakkin to expand our racial breath weapon to level appropriate instead of capping at 75? that aoe debuff, dot, and damage is handy. >.>

How do we get https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=3648 to spawn? What is the percentage for getting him to spawn. Can the spawn rate for Gnoll hunters in Qeynos Hills be increased.

So we have various ae's that are small to zone wide in raids ---- can we please make all damage done bye players to be zone wide so all parcer's can pick up all damage - no matter where we have to go or run too -- this I would think would be an easy fix as it already has a range on it just make it zone wide !

Can you please give a krono to the people, that make very good idea suggestions, that you like?

or a reward or /claim or something. We are all trying to make the game better

Question- Are we going to see less missions and Raids in coming expansions or was this year a one off with Laurion's Song?

( since my previous post apparently didn't match the question format and was deleted ... )

Q1: Are there any plans to make generic RAID banners to support pick up alliance raids ?

Q2: What is the best way to advocate for the creation or modifications of the current guild banner / portal to better support pick up / alliance raids?

1. Why does the Mount buff say Permanent? But is not. can we get them turned into an AA ability, or have them treated like mount speed where it keeps the highest one clicked? so you don’t gotta overwrite an old buff if you choose to ride an older Mount. Same goes with the familiar buff

2. Will we ever get new illusions that allows you to Mount, we spend all this money on new illusions an mounts
but we can’t use them together?

3. Can TLPs Get the same treatment with evolving items like live where opening raid/mission chests also gives experience?
A lot of people don’t have time to grind for a crazy amount of hours an on some nights only have time to raid or run a mission or two.
Think It would open up people willing to help run achievement missions instead of mindlessly grinding or 30+ hours
I mean with how short the time span is on TLPs it’s hard the achieve in a timely manner with the life span of the item only being around 5 months if you’re lucky for certain items. we already spent a ton of time doing the pre requirements to even get past lvl 1


4. Why are the raid type 19’ from TBL not lore equipped like the type 18’s, you spend so many hours farming them only having to delete one, or search through items an websites to find out if they are in the same lore group as one you looted weeks b4 and miss the roll. Why are we being punished when it could open up possibilities of swapping augs for certain situations or atleast put on a raid vender.

5. Why can’t we buy crystallize luck/perfect augment distillers with current/ up to -2 expansions old raid currency? Would open up more people wanting to do old raid content for achievements people have missed or for returning players. During a raid marathons most people only have time to stop at a raid vender on the way to other events and would like to ware their new armor with out having to wait for such items, bad enough you have to swap out up to 5 augs and ornaments for it and when you obtain the new item most of the time it sits in your bag until you can find time to do so.

6. Why does a player character with the ability to taunt “Ranger” get out tanked by a Pet/swarm pet outside of defensive abilities that we manually gotta push.. isn’t we half warrior? Why don’t our physical arrow attacks take endurance instead of mana? As a class that is already suffering from not having a mana return like most classes have or had or most the game. And why are does our fade take a huge chunk of that mana an is on a 10 min CD when most dps classes can drop agro multiple times throughout a fight for almost free. Our two disc need to be on different timers because as it stands the melee disc is rendered useless and pointless to even pick up much like most of our spells like the consumable arrow nukes and ho buff Why is a class with range in the name not the best range dps? Feels like we are lagging behind in the “balance”

6. Can we get a patch that doesn’t break everything?

7. Will Mayong Mistmoore ever return? And can we get an illusion of such Demi Gods?

Unlikely but I'll shoot my shot.

Q. Wondering if DPG wants volunteer developers to fix bugs, issues, help out with what they can.

I'm looking for something fun and passionate to work on. Glad to send my resume but summary is Ground Software Engineer in aerospace, ground to satellite communication (includes hardware interfaces and protocols) and mission ops applications (desktop and web apps).

When will you be able to fix the Mage's Host of Elements AA?

We really miss those little guys and the damage they do.

If, for some reason, you can't reinstate them as they were, can you give us back their dps in another way? We've put a lot of points into that AA line over the years and getting nothing from it.

Thank you.

Can we get a UI window to manage pet equipment slots? Why do we have to do it by command line? I love that, after 25 years, we finally have a way to see what our pets are wearing, but why can't it just be managed the same way as our own gear or the merc gear?

Weapon (Primary Secondary Ranged) Ornaments

Could we please get a Key ring for weapon ornaments or allow these to be put in the Hero's Forge key ring?

What is the reason for the knock back component in some spells? Can we get it removed?

Is it possible to increase the currency cap of 2 million platinum in the bazaar/barter?
If it is not possible, how about consideration of a currency higher than platinum?
Could new items be brought to the daybreak store, such as mounts, ornaments and familiars?

Regarding the current January Tower and the key quest ...

Was us having to re-do the key quest every time the plan? or an oops ?

Any thoughts to prohibit automated traders in bazaar?

Finding groups in EQ is almost impossible on a regular basis (boxing not helping). Any plans to adress this issue?

To the Darkpaw Developers:

More questions on Itemization:

EQ used to have very interesting items that did unique things. We're now in a mode where items are just generics templates that you just sorta churn out. I am not necessarily against standardization- however long term it stunts the uniqueness and growth of the game.

Example of unique items in the game that were really cool at one point that did different unique things

Scimitar of the Mistwalker (Had a wolf that spawned on the side of you that would attack for a couple of seconds, even though it got nerfed a lot)
Bladestorm, Katana of Steel (Had a Rain of swords proc on it)
Hierophant's Croook (Earthquake)
Short sword of Yekesha (Had the yekesha proc, I realize current weapon have dmg procs but this one was kinda of unique)
Fungi Covered Tunic (Had the regen on it)
Holgresh Elder Beads (Eye of Zoom on it)
The Butcherblock Hammer GM only event item but still cool (Proc'ed greater heal at the time which was really solid)

There are MANY, MANY other unique items, and far too much to list in this post.

But my question/point is- Can you or would you consider adding in special chase items in expansions? Something that we can really get excited for that have a special unique effect on them? If we are never getting class epic's again, would you be willing to consider putting back in special items?

Can we have loot filters added to fishing and Forage.

To add to this, if we can't have "loot filters" for forage and fishing, can we please have all forages and fishing item stackable! or at least the forages. Even better would be to have loot filters -and- stacking.

I loathe non-stacking non-lore forages that are utterly useless filling up my inventory, such as the Rile Sand Dollar, Cracked Horn, and all the rest of the useless items.
