Pistoleer Archive

I asked this in smuggler, but I'm a Pistoleer also. What are your thoughts about a epic quest for a skill or item for pistoleer?

I was thinking of a pistol power up of some kind.

Epic Quests is basically one of the things that ruined EQ's interest, I pray for this to NEVER being implemented.

Epic quests rocked in EQ. Usually the only ones complainign about Epics are the ones that can't do them...

and they kinda were MEANT not to be doable be EVERYONE

Epic quest ruined EQ? How?

Well if you feel that way, dont ever ware RIS armor then.

Epic quests ruined EQ because :

1 - some are much harder than others to get BUT their effect is inexistant
2 - if you don't have it, you can try to find a group in newbie zone
3 - this was the first step for "stuff before player". Since their introduction, EQ became a "who got the biggest one" contest, not "who is the best player" contest. Remember Best Of The Best contests : winners were ALWAYS the best struffed. Pathetic.

I play as a main a lvl 65 Necro but I also have lvl 65 War, Cleric, SK and Bard. All of them have their epic and let me tell you the Necro one is BY FAR the hardest to get (althought the SK one is a pain too, it is much easier).


Atm, SWG is still a "skilled players" game, I really pray for the stupid "stuff greedy" attitude to NEVER come here. It is the main reason I don't play EQ anymore.

I played EQ for 4 years, I think I am everything but a newbie. Epic Quests were a fair Idea (in fact, Epic Quests were introduced because of whiners about Fiery Avenger weapon, a Paladin only weapon). It gave a goal to every player but the real result was a lack of fun and a race for best items ever.

oh and btw, there is an epic quest : FSS

Hmmm....just sounds like a whine to me. You could apply the same to the game right now. Players that have access to better weapons and armor can do more than ones with out. It's almost an epic quest in SWG to find a good suppler of equipment...lol

BTW when I say epic. I mean a quest that you do as master of your class. I do not mean a quest for something that total uber and will unbalance the game totaly. But, with that said the item could be very useful and above normal.

To often we all use terms from other games to apply them to a new game and it can be very misleading.

/cough

i'm out of date who has a epic quest and what is RIS armor??

/cough

Oh ok Tyger.

And yes, my experience in EQ learned me the hard way how things can become so I think I didn't see the light. If it is something usefull but not uber, this could work.

Problem will be escalade, I'm pretty sure it will become more and more stuff oriented, which will for sure destroy something.

Btw, getting good stuff is still possible for everyone, money isn't the biggest problem in SWG. We also desperately need something to do beside PvP at higher lvl too, this could be one idea.
