Characters can become even more Heroic!

Yay, spend money buying an expansion, then spend more just to play it the less grindy way. Booo!!!

im posting this just to even out the energy. im grateful for the ability to still play my favorite mmo of all time. thanks daybreak for keeping it alive

This is a whole other level of P2W.. Maybe if it was 1 per account, but its not - people can buy as many as they like to skip farming Fragments and to get more GM spells. Please reconsider this direction

I only got my Fragment of Time currency. Still missing the 359 Zimaran Ballad Currency.

make status heirloom -- so toons can share -- and we'll talk --
that having been said - will probably buy some, but not because I want to really, -- but because if I want ANY
of my 10 toons to be relevant in game -- I have to -- thank you for the need to pay to win

if you don't buy these kind of things, they won't sell it. This kind of monetization is put in the game because people buy it. Personally i don't care because i don't play this game competitively and i never use boosts. However what would be nice is if they added more progression avenues that aren't just timers. Mobile game mechanics bore me and that is my biggest gripe with the game right now. Would love it if they eased off on that and added more fun stuff to the store. Hell i would probably prefer a battlepass than some of this stuff.

I'll chime in with my thoughts, but I know my opinion doesn't have the weight of the EQ2 veterans here.

I don't think anyone would doubt that I love EQ, EQ2 and the entire franchise, but I actually see this as a very nice thing.

I'm an EQ player (mostly), but I've been wanting to play EQ2 more. It is a bit overwhelming, and a bit lonely in the lower levels. Even the TLEs aren't quite the same "Progress through all expansions" that EQ TLPs are (from the way I understand it?).

I played BoZ in Beta and REALLY enjoyed it, leaving me wanting more. But once Beta was over, I was back to a very uphill climb.

I can certainly understand the P2W sentiment. There is certainly an aspect of that here (not that you can "win" in EQ/EQ2). However, if Darkpaw keeps a steady stream of revenue coming (and let's face it, we NEED that for EQ2 especially to survive) and it gives me an incentive to play the game, as a player that wouldn't otherwise, then I think it's a good thing all around.

Fading

You just can't please everyone, only some people some of the times.

Which item's don't transfer?

I think this will help a lot of players who have struggled to keep up with only limited time to spare. DP has to balance enough content for people who play extensively with those who only have limited time to play each week (raises hand). I used to play all day long, but now I am lucky if I can squeeze in 2 hours a day--even on weekends.

So I gave up on keeping up and moved to KD for the most part. I still do the administrative tasks, for my characters on other servers, but I don't really have much time to adventure, craft, or decorate with them now. I would like, however, to do the trade skill lines, for RoR and the new expac. I wish they would offer a similar package for those of us who prefer trade skills and decorating to adventuring. Alternately, maybe DP could offer the house items, for past expansions, for sale on the Marketplace.

But, even if none of my suggestions are added to the game or marketplace, I still think this pack will help a lot of players, which, in turn, will help DarkPaw.

The problem is people are asking for a lot of stuff to be toned down. Too much status requirement. Too much chrono requirement. etc. etc. etc. Instead of responding or doing any of this, they come out with this pack that has most of the currency and status items needed. It's like their response was to say buy it instead of them fixing it. That's the major issue a lot of people have. Not everyone has a load of money to throw at this game. I have 9 characters, 7 of which are in this content. I don't want to pay $280 for these characters so I don't have to spend weeks and months grinding the status and tokens and so on.

Make the game fun, dangle the carrot correctly and people will be happy. Doing this pay to win stuff is just going to make more and more people unhappy. Unhappy players usually find another game that will make them happy.

EQ2 is already one of the most expensive western MMOs to play if you want to play the content when its fresh and just released.

I very much dislike this new p2w addition for a system no one liked during beta or since release.

It's nice for new items, but chrono zones are still heroic.

It is this that actually makes me like the game. It lets us play the way we want to play. If you want to go here, do it. If you don't, don't. You can still play the game and level up the way you want. The games does not force anyone to play any way.
I would still appreciate more treasure for non-raiding characters, but that is not going to stop me playing.
Have fun for those who will buy this. Have fun for those that will not.

I said if the status was heirloom we'd talk LOL --
ok, bought -- didn't realize the status bundle had FIVE pieces to it -- worth 25M a piece (total 125 M) --
and HEIRLOOM !!

Yea !!!! so ... I'm very happy -- call me apologetic -- still hate that status is now a new way of getting recipes for us
crafters -- and non raiding crafter at that -- but if Daybreak KEEPS this little buyable feature heirloom, it will help those of
us who have a heck of a time getting any status at all -- thank you ! keep it -- like it is ...
