NO for all of that, ToT done recently, Invasions done recently. EJ should have NO privileges and NO to champ tampering. With this Dev team they will most likely break something.
So more new content please, and I vote for revamp of all Artifacts. Make them relevant again, most are junk compared to legendary armour now.
See I agree with Jack once. New stuff is better than stuff I already have.
Revamp arties and suits hunters garb and such.
Running old content again (especially on limited weekends per month or every couple months) is a good idea. Increasing the supply helps keep the cost of items and the barrier of entry for new players and returners low. They have to think about appealing to player groups beyond us die-hard veterans.
Ideally, of course, they could do both. Run old events every so often and also create new ones regularly to keep people subscribed and engaged. Plenty of other MMOs have adopted this strategy, even quasi free to play ones like Star Trek Online.
Nowhere did I say do this instead of new content 🙂
Nor did I suggest more privileges for EJ accounts -- see "non-EJ", perhaps the double negative is hard to read...
I'll add some others:
4. Block EJ accounts from being in FEL champ spawn areas. Even block being EJ in FEL dungeons is fine.
5. Add Fey Slayer enchantress cameo drop to the shadowguard mix.
6. Add lesser slayer enchantress cameo drops -- OR -- a new lesser slayer talisman similar to enchantress cameo. New event drop?
7. Not sure it makes sense to roto-till the existing artifacts. Devs seem to be doing a good job adding new artifacts in the events. Hooks shield and Yukio earring seems like they came based on direct player feedback. A few good artifacts being introduced seems better than a cross the board revamp.
8. Bring back the >10 mod legendary artifacts, and call them "Mythical artifacts", very low chance to drop instead of a standard legendary.
Also, Pawain, to expound on the bane potion item a bit more. It may make more sense to suggest some specific new full spec weapon artifact(s) with bane, rather than a generic potion. That's much less permutations to test... The "Focus" virtuebane "potion" has some unwanted and probably non-intentional side effects when applied to some modern weapons. I can imagine same possibly happening with a bane potion as well.
Bane is pretty basic.
Bane: This on hit property will only trigger when targets health is below 50%. As the targets health decreases the chance for the property to fire will increase along with the damage. Bane will damage the target with 30% of the targets max hit points in physical damage.
I use them to kill the Crazed mage, it does not always hit, it does a little more damage.
You want to bring back invasions to get more bane items but you do not want it in potion form. Please explain why you don't want a bane Composite bow but you want other types.
I have asked for specific properties on a Composite bow here more than once. I'd settle for bane or some other property we could add to any weapon.
Pawain, go ahead and suggest a composite bow with bane and certain properties. I asked for the same - search my posts. About my first post on this forum likely pointed that out -- one where you called me popps I think. Closest you can get at the moment is the bane soul glaive. If you can find one. Not that other new/returning players will easily or cheaply get a hold of one...
"Bane" when used in the right circumstances does a lot more than a "little" extra damage.
"Focus" also sounds simple, yet it has issues.
Seth, the spellbook phase of invasions was only part of it. It was tamer city after the initial phase. Sure did beat grinding away at crazed mages or unbound EV's !!
For some, the invasions were about the experience, not necessarily the items! I don't need any items myself, but others may appreciate the items. The experience is another matter though -- it was fun times.
All of us would be able to find a soul glave with bane on it if it were in a potion. I have a lot of bane bows and gave the 100% damage ones to a guy who turned them into mage bows.
They were so impressive that he put Weaving back on his template. But any thing new would work for me.
If you need to train pets on Generals, you just do not know what mobs to use for pets. If you want to do something while training pets, use Dread Pirates. You get Beacons after a few.
Looks like you really like the invasions. But, it will just end up like it always does, and your posts do not show that you like the mechanics of them.
One of my archers that I use for Orc crew has a repond slayer one. He just shoots so it works fine.
I have a few Virtue bane crystals, I have used them on TC. But have not found a good encounter where it gives a good enough damage benefit. They cycle back to low damage too quickly.
