It's time for velious

    With the advent of tower gear i feel that kunark is basically a wash outside of epics there is very little reason to raid right now. Either take tower gear out or give us velious please thanks.

    Seems reasonable

    Kunark was always a wash. There just is very little to raid for in classic and Kunark. Real raiding never started till Velious anyway. Tower gear doesn't change that.

    Got some bad news for ya. Tower gear is better than Velious raid gear too and we're just going to keep getting more and more of it.

    Yea no thanks. You already got to skip classic only. Not everyone pushing content as fast as possible so they can about needing new expansions earlier.

    Tower gear: It's the 25th anniversary year. Done and done.
    Velious: The unlock schedule is fixed.

    Right? I'm enjoying the journey. If you power through to the end and run out of content, well, that's a you issue.

    Yeah i understand the casual folks are enjoying the journey. The rest of us that are actively raiding for literally nothing outside of Crown of Rile, Robe of Azure sky, and maybe a few trak items. It's a wash.

    What else would you be raiding for? That is pretty much all there is to raid for in Kunark.

    But wait I thought tower items were fun and everyone loved them? You mean they mess up the game?
  11. Lejaun Augur

    Why do people even worry about those? Most of them reroll anyways.

    Step 1: OMG! When is the new TLP coming out? It should have this and this and this and this ruleset!!!!

    Step 2: Grind to 50 in classic before the first weekend is up.

    Step 3: I'm so bored. When is Kunark coming out?

    Step 4: Gring to 60 in Kunark before the first weekend is up.

    Step 5: I'm so bored! When is Velious coming out?

    Step 6: I'm so bored! When is Luclin coming out?

    Step 7: I'm so bored! When is PoP coming out?

    Step 8: OMG! When is the new TLP coming out? It should have this and this and this and this ruleset!!!!

    So tower changed nothing? Cause that's what your described.

    This is why you can't just make everything easier and easier infinitely. It's why the game originally had slower exp. It's like cool we beat the game, now there's nothing to do for 2 months. Personally I've already bought both my characters bis raid gear so I'm just farming krono now.

    Um, no? I'm saying there aren't many items that are actual upgrades with tower gear in the game. Yunnb's was an earring that was bis into Velious and is now going for close to minimum bids because it's going to be obsolete starting next week. Same for shroud of veeshan and numerous other items that go in the the tower slots. It's only going to get worse as more tower items come online.
  16. Twistingtime Augur


    And?
  17. Rothj Augur

    And he's saying the tower doesn't improve the game, it makes it worse. What are you saying "and" for? do you even play tlp or just post on the forums? People only defend the tower gear as far as it not really mattering, no one explains how this made the game better in any way.
  18. Appren Gnomercy

    Tower doesnt make the game worse for me at all. Pre-velious raiding is pretty "meh" anyway.

    Some people are annoyed that their typical 10-20 krono BiS item gets replaced with an item that every scrub can get, they'll get over it.../shrug

    Okay, so how did the tower improve the game for you as a level 55+ player?
  20. Appren Gnomercy

    I dont feel the need to start raiding content I really find less satisfying to raid, and fill slots with good cheap gear instead? I understand that some people get upset when items are too easy to attain, but meh, its just this one year with the anniversary, so I take my gear and enjoy it :)

    That being said, the gear balance is off, the 55 items should be a bit weaker in power (but not useless like the low level stuff)
