100th Patch, New Teirs, etc

Webscar · 05-30-2008, 12:04 PM

What do we know?

We know we will be getting new teirs of armor and weapons, but how will they become available?

Are they going to upgrade loot from all monsters, or just some? Are chests getting a bump?

Do we really have any info yet?

This is kind of a hmm post, I dunno if anything can actually be answered

We don't know anything yet.

Be surprised. I hope they keep it all a secret unless they need feedback on how some new concept will be received.

As long as full fellow quests aren't required to get the new tiers I'm happy. A quest the difficulty level of mukkir slayer will be fine.

They have said that the new loot will be available from quests.

I am hoping for at least some solo quests for [a chest key], some medium quests for [some chest keys] and some fellow quests for [more chest keys than medium].

I'm also hoping that some existing quests, like Lord and Lady Mhoire, have chest upgrades.

There maybe some non-content related stuff as well, like for example, a quest panel.

Hopefully (wishful thinking here), they fix the client. I quit the game in early 2003 and the client then was noticeably faster, this ToD client sucks. And I want the old character selection screen back!

Loot revamp, faction system, and level 8 spells, probably toss in a new island as well. Hopefully it lives up to the hype! And I hope the faction system doesn't flop!

They also commited to upgrading casinos!

- OK I lied but would be nice :-)

If these chests are strictly large group quests I'll fricken quit.

Some nights I only have an hour or two and no clue when I'll actually have a chance to jump on. If I have to find a group and coordinate each and every time to get stuff from new loot tier I'll be done with this game.

I recommended searching through Lupus Argenteus' posts here. He's posted some info about it and I believe he authored the announcement that Frelorn posted a few months back. That's essentially all of the info that's been given out.

I am hoping some of the new chest items can be found in soloable quests too.

It's very hard for me to committ to the epic quests. When I am off work during the day there is no one around to quest with and at night I never know when I can get on.

So if it will take an epic quest then I will probably end up dropping too. When it gets to the point that most of the content is out of my reach then it's time to do something else.

I think it would be a blunder of epic

proportions if they don't make the new loot soloable.

In all seriousness, does anyone actually think they would make something like this this totally group only? I mean they read the forums, they have seen how many of us get incredibly annoyed when they make even a couple too many things group only. For them to make something as huge as new loot not soloable would border on complete & total retardation. They would have to know they would lose a nice chuck of people if they did that.

They wouldn't really do that, would they??

They never said anything about groups but they did say you would not get them off of critters which you can grind. Which I think is a great idea.

If they aren't macroable yet soloable I would be SO impressed that that, heck I dunno what but I would be hella impressed.

What about all those chests in the new moarsman forts? If those forts are just for eggs, then it's a lot of effort for little gain.

Maybe we're already seeing the new chests but we just don't know it until the 100th patch turns on the new loot tables.

I'm pretty sure those may be the start of a new story line...why would the moarsman suddenly become so organized?

Many, if not most of the quests that provide keys for chests that might drop new loot will be solo quests. The new loot tier is not designed to be limited to group play.

YAY, let's hope for a good implementation. Not easy to get.
