Subject: Re: Rez changed


I really believe Verant is making things harder for the players cause a lot
of ppl hit Lvl 50 to fast and were killing things they shouldn't be killing
this soon in the game (Lady Vox). I remember reading once on EQVault that
Brad didn't seem to happy with the power gamers. Can't remember all he said
but I know he didn't see why anyone would want to play EQ like that, said
how if he did he'd get bored of it fast, also talked about ppl hitting Lvl
50 in just a few months when it should've taken them at least a year. Cause
if you notice what are they changing all the time? High lvl spells, high
lvl zones and it's not for the better but to make it harder on the players
so they can't get lvls as fast as they once did.
Just like that rumor that they might be making it to where if you heal
someone it might not even work. If they do that then whats the point in
being a Cleric if we can't heal a party member thats in trouble?
If Verant thinks the game is so unbalanced now, then why did they release it
this way? Why not have waited a few extra months and fix the classes? I
think they did believe it was well balanced but when players start whinning
that their class isn't as good as the next then instade of making them a bit
better, that other class gets punished for it and get their spells weakened,
or where they may or may not work on another player.
Well thats enough outta me for now.
