EverQuest II Producer’s Letter July 2023

I still go there on Live. Some of us are not in a race to the end.

I love that there is a still a lot of effort going in to building the game. I just hope that there has been some meetings where the devs and the business people took an honest look at this current xpac, the complaints and the sometimes complete lack of fun in the zones and the content and made a decision to listen to the players. The gear progression was completely broken. Stop looking for "clever" ways to make things interesting that really just make people grind into a rage. VoV was pretty good.. I know a lot of people that liked it. It's almost like you took everything you did well, that made it fun and decided to throw it out and tick everyone off. Stop making gear that gives us a stat we require but also takes a stat away that you know we want. The whole concept around CBOC this xpac was stupid. I really could go on and on.. and I would if I thought that it mattered, but it's clear from how many people have rage quit this xpac with little or no change that it doesn't really matter.

Like I said, I love that a lot of effort is going into content, but content for the sake of content without a cohesive strategy and progression is not worth it. Figure out how to bring people back.

Bring back heritage quest for gear or craft, make them Seasonal if you want to space them out .
Open areas like varsoon , runny.In short, do what has worked before.

A variant of my suggestion is that it's either whichever new faction will be in the expansion, or an existing one has something new it's arsenal and decided they're ready to go abroad.

the one thing I am thinking would be a good idea is mobs that show up later in expansion should get their lore and legends expanded so such a mob does not go gray if they are still around 20 levels later.

I know it came down to a lack of manpower to program it, but the lack of a Shissar L&L during the two expansions where they were the absolute big bad monsters was a total missed opportunity.

So now make all servers pvp!

I wish they'd quit wasting what little time/resources they have left on PvP. Hasn't it been proven countless times that it's a failed endeavor in this game?

Open Beta for Shattered Overture will begin on September 5 August 29, 2023.
Shattered Overture not Shattered Lands.

old man Silver is missing from Kaylong planes.
I put this into the right place.

With the month of August half over, does this mean all of this will be the end of September since no Beta or Testing has started? I like to see a producer's letter but I would like it more if it was a monthly thing instead of whatever cycle it is now. I have watched for an August producer's letter for a few weeks now. I am beginning to think there will not be one.

Where is it?

So far we've only seen minimal item updates, which should be usable for a maximum of about 10 weeks and crap.

We're *three* days into the game update.

Maybe let people try to finish the content before you complain the carry over item doesn't exist?

<3 amen

Better planning in the future please.

Its as expected. Very few people even care about H3 and people login to do weeklies only with a complete gear reset coming in 3 months.

As you can see, things are always deleted because it is not appropriate to prevent discussions.

That's okay, but it also prevents people from objectively expressing their opinions.

Of course, translation errors do happen, especially when it comes to sensitive topics.

But that's really not intentional, we've known the developers long enough to know that this wasn't or isn't meant negatively against them.20 years is a damn long time... why does this have to be destroyed now with too harsh and devastating evaluations of the postings?
