Teek and Anniversary Tower - a Lose/Lose?

Bros I cant wait till next month when we get the next tower floor and an all/all 41% haste belt!

Stop! You're going to make them clutch their pearls even harder!

It's just dumb and removing more fun from the newer TLP's.

Leave the quests for those who enjoy doing quests, let people buy all the gear, keep their tokens, etc...

But make all the gear unusable till LDoN.

i see nothing wrong with having the 25th anniversary, server wide event, available on the 25th anniversary server. its a one off, fun, celebration of eq.

I am guessing all the people crying bout "but mah classic" are playing on Tormax, cause complaining about something like this where you can get loot normally locked behind keyed zones, on mobs outside of the keyed zone, is pretty laughable.

Eq players man. I am surprised the devs havent deleted the game out of frustration at this point~

edit: double post!

Lol the stats aren't insane for level 55?? And you want to call me clueless. By all means lost all the items with 125hps that aren't from raids in Kunark.. I will do one better you can pick raid items. By the time people start seeing upgrades, gu as what.. the level cap goes up by 5 and at 65 there will be another set to replace it that will be just as OP.

You're right, it should actually be even better for the 25th anniversary! I think players should be able to /claim a full set of 140hp gear for the fun celebration! That way nobody will have to worry about loot, and everything on every rare and raid mob can just be destroyed... wait why even raid?

I'm not sure the people who play the "just don't wear it if you don't like it" game understand that a big part of this game is economy. If everyone already has a freebie 10x better version of the items you go after to trade/sell - whats the point of even getting them? Every piece of super easy to get gear thats much better then everything else, devalues everything else in game of that slot.

I also see nothing wrong with the Tower quest implementation. If others have these, get yours. Anyone can do the quest, no raid guild required. Have some fun. Worry. less

So I see 2 things here.
1. People saying it's too easy
2. People saying krono farmers gonna farm it and sell it.

It's really gotta be one or the other. If it's really easy people are going to figure it out and do it.

Also while it might not be "classic" it's kinda cool to have new things to do

Just don't do it if you don't want to. No one is forcing anyone to run a quest or do something they don't want to do.

I typed /claim and did not see tower loot on the list. should I petition?

I'd been very excited for Teek and had been streaming it.

I'm not some p99er either. I've played agnar mangler phinny ragefire>lockjaw. I was fully geared on Agnar. I still have 100 krono or so.

The tower situation is silly. Y'all removed spirtuality potions because they were out of era. You reverted Runnyeye because the level 30 zone was dropping gear equivilant to group content in the high 40s.

There is a better sword in solb off a soloable giant at 50 than the runnyeye sword that got removed because it effected itemization. It was literally in era group level gear that was a bit too easy to get.

You removed focus effects which were a fun mix up to itemization.

But you're leaving in level one grindable 100 hp 100 mana 10 to all stat regen gear and 1k plat an hour questing.

I was totally deflated seeing "Cumbersomely Named Shawl of Everything You Do Is Pointless 3kr" being shouted out.

The plat inflation is insane. No one is doing Ice giants in Kunark. They're just, there. Wild.

I lost all interest in playing and just stopped. A real bummer. Thank god I didn't buy the bag.

Instructions unclear, stopped playing EQ entirely

The next set is 65. And the tower will disappear at the end of POP. The next set of gear will take you into OoW maybe an extra expansion or 2 further. So bad cally you get better then raid gear in all non visible slots for the first year of the server lol...

Why are people acting like Teek is supposed to provide the normal EQ experience? Ffs it's literally random loot free trade with personas... Wtf are we even talking about here? Some delusional stuff from what I see.

And you know this how, exactly? Devs are not announcing in advance what is behind each month's tower door.

As I understand it, the gist of your complaint is that players are able to obtain and equip raid-class gear without raiding. Let's see... on Mischief, during Kunark, players were able to obtain and equip raid-class gear without raiding. The free flow of gear was exactly what made the ruleset so popular. Now you don't like that? You're very very much in the minority, I think.

Because I use my brain.... 12 months of items 12 non visible slots...

No, what seems to be going way over your head isn't "Kunark era raid gear going to non raiders...drrr." is PoP level raid gear on Kunark era characters, then OoW Raid gear on PoP era characters. Which makes more then half of all drops (all drops group and raid) totally worthless. If you don't understand that then I doubt you will understand the ramifications of what that is going to do to the economy.

Everyone is moaning about out of era gear, but the real issue is that people are farming 10k plat/hour from the rewards which is destroying the economy.

Krono farmers are vacuuming up the Krono and probably making more income than a DPG developer at this rate.

How this doesn't necessitate an emergency patch is beyond me.

Welcome to how live raiders feel when it rains necks and cloaks for days!
