U78 Preview 2: 20th Anniversary Raider's Rewards

[waxinglyrical]

Grade F, must try harder. Many mistakes were made on the first iteration, so it comes as quite a surprise to see such an abomination has been degraded further, despite helpful guidance proffered and ignored. This is not the way to treat valued customers, it is akin to throwing a few crumbs to the rats. This game will not get the key to the door, as a 21st birthday looks increasingly unlikely.

 

[Shear-buckler]

You need to make it one per account/server so you can add some actually useful items. Or just make two boxes, this crappy one for each character and a good one that is 1 per account.

Ok this is a bad joke. Incredible.

 

[G.W.]

iirc wasn't Doctor Lifestone's Hunting Horn on the list? I see it's now gone. A lot of players would have liked that.

I was going to take that - summoning dinosaurs could be cool.

 

[CEastwood]

20th Anniversary starts on 1st April?

 

[Ventrul]

This is a bad joke, right?

 

[Lordpiglet]

so the newest item, is 4 years old, from a pack that came out on the 16th anniversary

 

[Kraav]

As someone that doesn't raid I was looking forward to Constellation, Cursed Blade, at least for the ability to glamor it for transmog purposes. That greatsword model is one, if not the best in game. Sad day indeed.

 

[Kaish'Talan]

I think it is a nice list with a lot of choices.
But I don't understand the 200,000 xp. Seriously... To be worth something, it should be a 1,000,000 xp.
And even that would not be incredible, but at least its would be more xp then what you will get for running a single quest on Legendary.

 

[droid327]

Welp, at least SoS is there now?

But yeah, this is basically a list of "items that have been made obsolete by Dino/Chill crafting since the last Raiders box"

 

[Gemini-Dragon]

After the first list was published without all the details many people anticipated turning a bunch of items into augments. I know someone who preemptively made 30 characters just to snag 10 augment sets. The first list you made, created an expectation that I don’t think you can ever fill. People will complain regardless with what you add to the raiders box because nothing can really compare with saving tens of hours trying to farm for these raid augments. I still think a “Raider’s Augment Box” would be a good idea. Just give out one or two per account. This would ease a lot of the tension around here.

 

[drjoans]

yep eternal flask of death ward... thats exactly what I want for my 20th anniversary. cool talk

 

[Kritikal]

LOL
LMAO
ROFLMAO

I think it is par for the course with SSG.

Oh well...

That's half a life for a 1st life char

I dont think they want it to be an Otto's Box Lite

Why not? Is it not the 20th anniversary? Can we not get something great?

 

[canicus]

If we are only going to get 1 item per toon, and the item will be BTC, Why not just give us modern raid loot? I don't see that stopping anyone from raiding.

If the thought is that this is some "walk down memory lane" where people can get that piece of raid loot that they never got 15 years ago, I don't think very many people want that. (And I'm the guy that likes the symphony of the fey loot) If the list isn't going to include anything anyone would actually want, why bother?

Maybe if you told us what you are trying to accomplish with this giveaway, we could give you better feedback. I though everyone was pretty clear on the last list that we didn't want useless stuff. Not sure why you added a lot of useless stuff.

 

[Shmuel]

I hope everyone here realizes that no suggestions you make at this point have any chance of happening. What was just posted, ill bet my life savings, is exactly what we will get. With the "Gift" tag making it impossible even to upgrade the heroic items to epic or legendary. They never wanted it to be a useful or valuable gift. If they did it wouldn't have ever been 200000 xp.

Cool, yeah, neat. Can we make augments with the items or not? Just increase the exp amount so players have something semi-useful to take, thanks bud.

*edit* 19 Pages of discontent, a discord server that likely should’ve been nuked the other day, and countless other complaints. Yet somehow, you guys have made it worse than before. Does this bus even have a driver?? I feel like we’re in a free fall.
