It could be because Europe has a lot more language barriers than America does making them learn more than just shoddy Engrish.  Or it could be that Americans are the stereotypical lazy bastards looking for an easy way out that everyone else in the world thinks we are.

Here you go.  This addon works great for blocking and reporting spammers.

Not really waiting, but as soon as they are released I will be rolling a Blackguard.

So there is no release date for the new(cut ) classes?

How about a release period, can we expect them before Xmas?

 

 Umm don't be silly, and just in case your serious the answer is no.

 

Oh, and you have proof of this?  For all we know they could release the new classes tomorrow.  Mark has said several times they would have the new classes in as soon as possible.  I hardly doubt they will wait until the expansion.  If anything they will wait until the subs drop off drastically to pull people back in.

"As soon as possible" is dev-speak for "we have no plans to add these classes in the immediate future, nor do we have any reasonable ETA."

I have been around long enough to know how soon® and asap® work.  However, I can guarantee you as soon as we see a sharp decline in numbers the missing classes will magically appear.

Stating that we wont see the new classes for another two years or until the next expansion is just being stupid.  If Mythic did that do you have any idea how many customers they would lose?

No, this is BS.

First I must ask you guys to remember how for months, and in total solidarity, you kept telling me to STFU about suggestion threads and discussions because you could just use the Herald?
 

Second, I point out that this is some random third party fansite. How is the average player going to know about the party at Bobs Garage, and participate in it? They won't, they're not supposed to, because this whole thing here revolves around deception.

Third, as an actual player of the game I shouldn't have to go to a third party website in order to contribute or read about something as serious as this. BTW, who is to say that those people are all WAR players, or unique players, hmm? Not a damn thing.

Ticked off again.

Yes, and the world is flat and Elvis Presley still lives.

As to the rest of your post.  I would much rather have the CSRs doing something other than babysitting a forum full of non-coherent babble.

If the game is a fresh install check to make sure that the patcher isn't running a second client in the background.  For some reason when I installed from the CDs the installer continued to run in the background and it wouldnt let the game launch.  If you know how to use the task manager you can end the process there, if not, simply reboot your computer.

Imo the shadow warrior and squig herder could do with a bit of a buff.

Witch elves/ Witch hunters are bordering overpowered if anything.

Healing is fine, at the higher levels there are many moves to reduce/ counter.

Pretty balanced in all, nothing glaringly overpowered/ underpowered. Now if they would only fix the Moral ability bug.

Witch Elves and Hunters are no different from Bright Wizards and Sorceresses.  They have a lot of power but they die at the drop of a hat.  If you're mad that the healers are being killed by them perhaps offer some more protection to those keeping you alive..

Yep that's exactly it. . .just like the 1.2billion people that smoke know its the best thing for them.

Just because you don't agree with him, it doesn't meen he knows nothing about it.

 

I for example, completly agree with his list.

 

Altough AoC.. not sure..

 

Thats because you don't know much about MMOs.

Ignorance is bliss... to some.

. . .and your the Steven Hawking of MMOs?  Great. . .

As I said before, just send in your feedback with the ingame option.  Arguing on this board of all things will accomplish nothing.

I guess I'm the only one who has heard of an alt or profit.  I don't care how much you cry - I'm rolling on your loot. 

Then remove the "need" command all together since it is no longer used.  The whole purpose of a need/greed/pass system is so that those that actually NEED the item can roll on it not because your GREEDY.

@Cway214

It happens on the RP servers as well.  Maybe not as frequently but it does happen.  I have this little notebook on the side of my desk that I write down all the names of people that do it and make sure they don't get in my groups anymore.

To all those that are responding to this thread, make sure you feedback your opinions.  We could get this changed yet.

Yep, several beta testers (myself included) warned Mythic about this becoming an issue but it fell on deaf ears.  It is not too late to make changes but seeing as how stubborn they were in beta about this I doubt anything will be changed.

A healer should heal because that is their Job in the team. They wouldn't have put that class in if it wasn't part of the over all strategy. Now some healers are just made to sit back and heal. Shamans if you throw in a bit of dps you can heal for more.

 

I was in a scenario last night and got dropped down to 2 hp, I ran back to 2 healers that didn't heal me. So i started jumping to try and get their attention, still nothing. So I asked in chat still nothing. I was sitting at 2 hp for over a minute until I finally got a heal. I was still trying to harass the destructions  healers so they couldn't heal their teamates.  I also saw this WP hiding in a corner AFK that just pisses me off. If they would actually play they would get more XP.  I can easy get 10k xp per scenario if we win.

Report them, there is an option in the CSR tab for XP/Renown farming.

I imagine it was because they wanted to present another step in the Everquest storyline. If they would have altered the original Everquest storyline to accomodate the new story then there would be a lot of upset people still wanting to progress through the original story. I see no problem with Everquest II. Many people like it. If you like the original Everquest then stick with that. If you have a station pass then you are able to enjoy both at will.

I agree with advancing the lore, however, what they did to EQ2 really doesn't make it feel like EQ anymore.  Don't get me wrong I played EQ2 for quiet some time, its just not what it could have been.

The good thing about being a healer is also the worst part.  Players lives are in your hands, if they piss you off don' heal them.  They roll need on items they shouldn't, let them die.  No protection, when they wonder off to be superman let them die.  When they start cursing at you, let them die and then explain why they died.

Its good that they got rid of that program but 6 million dollars thats just crazy.  Its not like the program really hurt blizzard in any way. It hurt the player base that where the real damage was done.   So will Blizz reward the players that didn't use it---------- im thinking no. 

 

People need to get back to the days when they understood when they should be duely rewarded, and when they shouldn't.

You shouldn't be rewarded for something you should be doing in the first place.

In fact, this reminds me of Chris Rock and his joke about guys who make a big deal about taking care of their kids, and expect all sorts of respect for doing so.  They make a big deal about it because clearly it's not a common thing in his racial demographic - hence the joke.  His contention is this - "IDIOT!  You're SUPPOSED to take care of your kids!"

Just because someone cheated, and you didn't, doesn't mean you get a cookie.  It means you get to keep your account and continue playing.

There is a difference between expecting rewards and wishful thinking.  This is a wishful thinking situation.  You could hope for a little something but everyone knows nothing will come of it.  All it will do is line the pockets of CEOs and the players will have to deal with getting content every two years.

Haha, like they reward their players by doing anything with all of their big moneys.  A company like Blizzard has to have so much income, quit being greedy and give your playerbase a little something.

Personally, they should have never made EQ2 instead they should have made a massive engine upgrade for EQ1.  There would be no games out there to compete with content plus it would have up to date graphics.

 

you mean like EVE.

yeah that would have been nice.

Exactly!  I never did understand the whole "sequel" thing.  If you have a hit game already why push it out by releasing a newer and more generic version of your already established game.

You get the same amount of Rp / XP for healing as you do damage there is no difference.   Healers should heal and do damage to maximize their points.  My friend rarely bothers with attacking anyone unless they attack him (or he's playing a healer that's heals are based off his attacks)  and he's leveled way faster than I ever could.  Why people bother playing a healer and not healing is beyond me if you don't want to damn heal don't play a healer...this is why pugs lose because healers won't heal, they won't rez its a nightmare really.

 

O I love healing, but I also like to see my renown rank rising, and when I heal, I get almost only the half of the renown when I dps (kinda crazy). + Skilled on dmg I can do quests in the breaks between two scenarios (since all quests are solo quests, I cant kill mobs by healing them)

What toon are you playing?  If your ONLY healing yea you'll get half and if your ONLY DPSIng your completely worthless to your team you get way more Renown for actually WINNING the Scenario and its impossible to Win Without Healers. 
 

My friend plays a Shaman and exclusively heals while doing DPS on the side he tends to max his Renown several times faster than I can.   If your playing a DoK it explains it since they're DPS first Healer Second (worthless clothie peices of shit in my opinion but whatever).

People only worried about themselves are the reason WAR Scenarios suck to participate in with a Pug.

Bingo!  You just described 70% of the people playing the game.

That's why you should, I don't know, talk to the people that are good, and possibly group up with them.  One solid group of people can make all the difference.

Ok Shay, your WB tonight.
