Question, week of May 29th.

[Nolrog]

What to do after Master Artisan and level 7 trophies? Is there any plans for a Trader Epic 1.0?

Trader Epic 1.0: Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl.

Trader Epic 2.0: Aid Grimmel Earring.

[KyrosKrane]

Eh, Aid Grimel is more in line with 1.5 in terms of power, though the raids required are more akin to a 2.0. That still leaves room for us to grow into a new uber-quest one day. =)

I ask about one frequently. Every few Dev HoC chats, I'll bring that one out again, and ask.

[Aleksandros]

I've just come up with the perfect particle effect for it (possibly for the level 7 trophies, retrofitted ). Coins, similar to the Earthen Strength aura mages get for our pets, flowing from the trophy/Tradeskill Epic to the ground where they disappear - neat, and so incredibly relevant...

[Qaladar Bragollach]

Even better... a small blackhole-like void shoud follow you around and the coins should flow into that.

Each week, we're able to submit a question that the developers are trying to answer in a timely fashion. Kind of an alternative to the top 10, for now.

For this week, what question would you like me to submit? I'll take the best one, and hope His Ogreness (no peeking) will supply us an answer, that I'll post on this thread.

So, what question would you like me to ask this week??

Which question(s) won this competition, and when will we get the answers?

There were quite a few valuable questions submitted, even after ignoring the ones about DoN drop rates, and we would be interested in seeing some of the answers to those non-DoN-drop-rate questions.

Thanks.

[Telorea]

Any news on this yet?

The only question that received any response was one that we already knew the answer to.

Are we getting anything on the other questions - or were we just getting excited over nothing?

Thanks,

Thread Necromancy = BAD

The "gameplay boards" were killed.

The "Top Ten" died a fairly lingering and painful death.

Let's allow "Question of the Week" to die quickly and with less agony.

Verant/SOE have never really been all that forthcoming in their talk with broader segments of the playerbase. Ubers and "Community Coorespondents" who have the means of attracting a large amount of player interest, and the means to travel to meet with SOE reps, get face time and real action. The best most of us can achieve is getting the influential players attention and having them walk the ideas over.

Short form: Nolrog and Ngreth hear us. They then speak for us. Thus endith the lesson.

(Both the Enchanter and Cleric communities have SERIOUS blood-feuds over who is the "class rep" and I'm more than grateful we don't have that problem here, so far as I know.)

What if you have 11 issues? Or only 7?

What if the Question this week becomes "why didn't you answer us last week?"

And again.... Thread Necromancy = BAD !!

[Ngreth Thergn]

And while I totally do not blame Nolrog for this.

the basic text of questions have been...

when will X happen?

And I just cannot answer when. Every time I try, something keeps me from keeping my date. So I will not answer a when question with anything more than "I don't know" and that is not a satisfactory answer, but it is what I have.

Is that great? No. But it is what it is.

Are you aware that X is an issue, and do you plan on looking into it? Now that I can answer. (Though really guys... 95% of the time I am aware of it... though I may not have answered if I plan to do something about it, nor what my plans may be, so it could still be a valid question.)

[Telorea]

Okies, great. So does that mean that you are looking into whether the newer sets of crafted armour (that have a reduced number of items that can be made) will be expanded to bring them into line with all the older crafted armour sets - to include the slots that were mysteriously dropped such as: Shield, Neck, Visor, Belt and Back items?

Thanks.

No, I have no plans to add them at this time.
(shield was not that common before, though the others were)
