A new VOIP system that will ensure more lag in game and make those who may still play on slow DSL or dial up not be able to play at all...Why do we need this when there are several VOIP systems already in use?

WOW a revamp of items from level 1-59...I personally know some people who actually are still prgressing through those levels....but MOST people are well beyond that now....The T8 itemization SUCKS...who about throwing a bone to the rare level 80 and revamp their gear too huh??

OMFG Guild halls are going in game....Only 4 years late, and only when there are so many other broken and incomplete portions of the game that they are too numerous to fix...so we have the devs waste their time (and OUR money) of guild halls...Something the game desperately needs....NOT...

What a crock of shit SOE.....Is it any wonder that your precious little game is quickly become devoid of a serious player base???

was not that sure about voicechat before, but tested it today and it works really great. servers for it are hosted by vivox so it doesn't affect connection to the game servers.

i did not notice any lag cause of it today, and people in my guild were constantly chatting, and having the chat directly integrated into game ui gives some advantages over the outside solutions too. sound quality was very good too,

the item revamp was needed cause the progression through all thiose old zones was no longer working. you could loot a legendary item in a old zone and it many cases it was worse than treasured items in newer zones (sometimes even lower level items were betetr than highers).

they also did some changes to t8 gear (some of the epics were changed, some shields wre changed too), but these changes need more handtuning, they did most of the low level item changes automated with a script which probably won't work that good with t8 equip.

From what I hear the vivox servers are being hosted THROUGH SOEs bandwidth...If that's not the case then I recant my statements about the lag. if they are using SOE bandwidth then they wil cause lag if and whn a lot of people use this feature...It probably won't happen since there are no longer huge numbers of people playing EQ2...

Why would they revamp tier 1-6 items? So who cares if there were items in those zones that were inferior? There are very few people playing in those tiers, and the vast majority are playing alts. They already know how to progress through those levels....They should have concentrated on T8 re itemization since most players have at least 1 character, many with multiple (I have 6)....The itemization in T8 is badly skewed...Mastercrafted should never be better than legendary and there should be a pronounced upgrade beween the 2, but there are legendary items that are not as good as MC and there are legenday items that are so close in stats to teh MC that there is virtually no difference...there needs to be a clear upgrade between the 2, like there is betwen legendary and fabled, and fabled and mythical...

if u cant deal with the fact that SOE is requesting money for subs go play ur avarage asian mmorpg , and never look back to the european market, or get a slight idea how the current core business works in these days, instead of only helping the higher lvls, SOE helps everyone

and so what if im a SOE fanboi, go suck on a lolypop little kiddie, these forums arent ment for crybabies

Well now lets look at what you have written here...

You obviously can't spell You're because all I see is  UR

Your post IS an opinion, It's YOUR opinion about my "worthless post"

You speak of the European market, even though Technically EQ2 is an Asian MMO since Sony is a Japanese company, in case you forgot..But since it's most of it is developed in the Good Ol U.S.of A we will call it American....

Since I own and operate my own AMERICAN I.T. Service business, I take issue with your statement about not knowing how businesses operate. In fact, the reason I can see through SOEs "marketing" is because I see my competitors use some of the same techniques themselves...like the old bait and switch...Where they make promises they have no intention of keeping, just to get the customers into their shop....Just like SOE has been doing with EQ2 since release..Tell me old wise one...Where are the 4-5 adventure packs and 2-3 expansions per year we were promised? Why are we currently level capped at 80 when SOE told us the level cap would be over 100 within 2 years of release? Tell me why free server transfers are not taking place...Shall I go on with the broken promises?

Yes, you are a fanboi, actually it's much worse than that...You are addicted to SOE, like a junkie becomes addicted to heroin or coke...You can't see anything wrong with SOE because without them your life (or lack there of) would be in shambles...

By the diction, punctuation and tone of your post it is you who should still be suckling your nurse maid...I probably have socks older than you....

Yes, I truly dislike SOE for what they have become. I have played their games for 10 years, I too was an SOE fanboi back in the day, but I have seen the light...as so many others have...and we have spoke with our wallets...finally cutting the cord, walking away from their rehashed, recycled, over used content...SOE was a god to me....but no longer...you can only lie to your customers for so long before they call bullshit....

Really, can we get ONE thread without flames or trolls anymore?

For someone who plays EQ2, this was an allright update. I don't use the VOIP b/c we are all use to Vent and it's setups, but I have yet to lag because of it. The 1-59 item update was late, but finally here. I wish I could see the armor on my two alts before and after though, see what exactly they did change.

I should also mention the 2nd part of the current World Event had me worried. Untill I found out the items to turn in stacked. :D Some nice house items this time too... and 2 more cool apperance items.

Overall it's a good update for anyone that plays, but, it's not gunna have any of the freebies re-subing now that thier time is up.

To answer your question...

When SOE keeps their word and gives us what they promised AND fixes the incomplete and broken content then maybe you can get a flameless, "trolless" post....But to put it bluntly, SOE is developing SHIT right now. Their canned content, and lack of any imaginitive thought has made the game boring, mundane and as easy as WoW ever was. I have spoken to people who play both....good friends whom I trust....The major difference with WoW is that the game actually still has a decent player population.

EQ2 is in decline...Slowly over time you will see fewer and fewer players giving it time of day, even when new expansion are released. SOE jumped the shark when they gave out free expansion to players who had shown no loyalty and ignored those who had been loyal players for a long time. My account is paid up until the end of this month. I have had fun playing SOE games in the past, but now it's time to cut the cord. AoC might have some issues, but at least they haven't bold face lied to me and broken promise after promise...

So it will be so long SOE very soon. Of course this won't end my flaming posts...My wife will still play EQ2 and I am sure I will be keeping up with their lies and broken promises through her...

LOL! what a sad little troll you are. Let me guess. You are a disgrunteled SWG-vet still sobbing about the NGE update and still bashing SOE wherever you can. Grow up! And move on!

Voice-chat can be DISSABLED! So there goes your assumption about slow connections being screwed up in smoke! Failed at trolling here! Try read before commenting!

EverQuest2 is one of those MMO's that actually HAS content that makes rolling ALT's actually FUN! So yes there are many players that still reroll new characters to explore different content and different classes. So YES a LOT of people are happy with the level1-59 item revamp!

The level80 Epic weapons have been updated with this update as well!

Guild Halls is a welcome addition a lot of guilds are still waiting for! Better 4 years late then never!

I can talk about another MMO. World of Warcraft. Now thats a pile of shit that has dumbed everything down, only added the EXACT same crap with TBC and will do so again with WOTLK expansion. Doesn't even have Housing at all! One of those features that mysteriously went of their radar.

At least SOE is doing a great job with EverQuest2! And the updates DO add something to the game every time. Cannot say that of many other MMO's, including WoW!

So go hide under your rock! You fail Epically with your sad trolling!

Cheers

its definitely different servers in a different datacenter : http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?&topic_id=421330#4697874

I agree that some legendary items in rok are not great, but there is also a lot good legendary around. Personally i am rather happy with that part of the itemisation, progression from group dropped over easy raids to hard raids is where the current itemisation is having more problems. The lvl 78 fabled class sets from t1/t2 raids are often really unwanted (i don't want to know how many of these allready got transmuted), while some items in group zones or some other items in t1 raidzones are far too good (and hard to replace even if you can clear vp).
