Hey, everyone!
We've had a couple of really good feedback threads on loot in the past few months, a lot of you have brought strong ideas to the table that influenced both the direction of loot and the individual items.
With Myth Drannor having been out for a while and the followup Raid dropping very shortly, it's time to look toward what loot comes next. While we're not ready to talk about specifics, I did want to bring up a topic for discussion that will help us know what you want to see:
As of U69.3, what effects are you looking for that are hard to find in Quest Loot?
A few guidelines for discussion:
- We're talking about Quest Loot specifically here, not Raid Loot
- Some effects are intentionally uncommon on Quest Loot, as they're considered Raid-tier effects.
- We're giving some preference to effects that didn't appear in Myth Drannor and would synergize well with those items.
- Sun and Moon Augment Slots are likely going to continue to exist on new items!
- As a result, in the near term we're not likely to do new Set Bonuses, as Sun and Moon Augments fill that role on those items.
- We still do not intend to make combined Sun+Moon Augment Slots, or add Sun or Moon slots to item slots that didn't get that slot in Myth Drannor (no Moon Slots on Helms, Sun Slots on Boots, etc).
Effects that are find to find in quest loot:
1. Quality radiance.
2. Brazen Brilliance items not weapons.
3. New version of Madstone Rage.
4. Quality devotion.
5. Fredom of movement.
6. Cannith combat infusion.
7. Aritfact bonus: +3 to hit and Damage and +3 seeker to hit and damage like vulkor and ravens set.
8. Quality doubleshot.
9. Quality sheltering.
10. Eternal Holy Burst not in a weapon. ( Like echo of ravenkind and Titanias glory).
11. Imbue Infusion ( for the next 10 secs you have +3 Imbue dice to you dice pool).
12. Change crown of summer to a stackable form is useless for end game gear because we have augments that give more MP and RP.
13. Fix the exceptional bonus with insight bonus. If exceptional bonus is going to be insight for some gear remove the exceptional bonuses in gear and replace them with insight correct values to not bring useless bonuses and confusion. ( Example: Helm of the Warblade gives exceptional +5 to seeker and that was replaced years ago with insight so in do not stack. Also insight correct bonus for that items level is +6 not +5). That item is very rare to acquire, a lot of farming to get one, and is undervalue for the level and is useless to get for the effort to get it .
14. Seeker and Deception augments.
15. quality deadly.
16. Profane doublestrike/ Profane doubleshot.
17. Concordant opposition.
18. Legendary Elemental energy: +150 bonus to spellpoints or + X bonus to HP.
19. Range alacrity 20%.
20. Temperance of Arts item: +1 in universal spellpower for every arcane lore you posses.
@SteelStar Please do not put the drop rates like in MD anymore. You can leave them so you can remember the big failure. Those loot drop rates are no Fun only for you I guess. Make a evaluation of what is been implemented in the last year and if is not working. Not every change is good. Not many people live in the game 7 days at week / 24 hours a day or have all the time of the world for been running the same quest over and over for a desire item for weeks even months. That is boring and people will look to do other things and not play.
You are not attracting players to the game to spend more money in the game you are causing people to leave and spend less money in the game. Many people have to work (to pay for your VIP subscription), go to college, attend family, and real life issues. You know this is happening DO Not Ignore it.
Another issue is since you guys drops the requirements for augment items with reaper abilities, is very rare you get items with reaper abilities. We use to play R10 (the highest difficulty in the game), to have a chance to get named items, and have a chance to get a reaper bonus on the items. Now you can play R10 (the highest difficulty in the game) and you don't even get a named item and if you get one not even a bonus of +1 on them. Ofc R10 is not a warranty you are going to get a named item everyone understand that but now is less and less. And ofc not mentioning the lag making unplayable the game.
PSD: whenever you want many people have been asking for a
NEW QUIVER over and over
. Maybe we can open a poll about this to see if you agree finally after almost 10 years there no new quiver that real matter in the game are not only just a decorative piece for range characters. Thanks.
