NEW EXPANSION FOR EQ!

[danipunk]

Velious and kunark is a really shit!! Is the worst in the world.
Velious.. is... i cant say nothing. It's worst than pac-man!!!

Is Luclin and planes who brings everquest into a live "game", who evolutions, and not how this static games that you play for 3 months and after you uninstall they from your HDisk.
But if you cant see it.... its sad, and a pity.
No more. Bye

Did you even play EQ before any expansions came out? Probably not. Back then it rocked, now it's a piece of dung cash cow for sony and verant.

first time i played eq was eq+kunark pack in the same cd.

Ok here is a basic overview of the expansions.
Kunark: New large land mass, new race, new items, new level cap, original.

Velious: New snowy landscape, new quests, etc. Not too much but good for a small expansion.

Luclin: Bad concept, New models but alot of them are quite bad (All I have to say is Troll to get my point across.) New land mass (always nice) New race and overpowerful class (balance issues)

POP: New land masses, quests, level limits, and AA points. New AA points were nice but to make any of this a use you have to be level 50, no fun. At least velious you could go to at around 25.

if you dont like the expansions....i guess, you dont like actual EQ, and what are you doing in this web if you think this game is a shit?
I think you are a little stupid ,are u?

If you dislike the grand mass continents or the same things one and another, go out and look for a new game , this is my advice for you.

Enjoy the game!!

Ok /deep breath

Kunark is my favorite expansion in that is was extremely well thought out, very extensive, and gave more space to terribly confining smaller world of th original EQ. It also balanced classes out considerably. Monks, which were poorly balanced against other classes originally, were made far more powerful, and some of the Kunark spells were very original, yet not overpowerful. Ya also got a new race, and an increase in the level cap. In my opinion the zones were extremely well designed as well.

Velious was smaller, more elite, and concentrated more on the high-end game. Perhaps not the most noob-friendly stance Verant could have taken, but they added many more quests, and some pretty cool high-end content. The zone design for Sleepers (kill 4th warder, Sleeper wakes up, bye bye warders/primal) was terrible, yet intriguing.

Now, after Velious, EQ designers pretty much sell out in an effort to make all their lil Beta Testing friends (ie Afterlife) happy. In come 12765864 new weapons with monster ratios, and anything that has better than 12AC on it is NO DROP. Lots of content, and a few good ideas implemented poorly, but overall a mistake IMO.

PoP did a lil better by making some items dropable, like Windblade, but still basically following in the footsteps of Luclin.

I dont have LoY. I dont want LoY. I don't want to hear the words "Legacy" and "Ykesha" in the same sentence. Questable, no drop spells. Need i say more?

Now, all of u may think that just cuz an expansion gives ya gear like "Vanazir" or "Blade of War" or "Talisman of vah Kerrath" it kicks ass cuz now ya got 00b3r l33t l3wtz, but to me it's unappealing and makes the game boring.

Oh and btw Bazaar, SOME post-velious spells, SOME AA, PoK, and some of the smaller lil updates were pretty good, but that doesnt make the whole expansion good. And most of it was given to us thru patches anyway, not from the actual expansions.

I think LoY was a bad expansion.

I came in when it was just Original EQ and Kunark.... I liked it better... I liked PoP since the game is already unbalanced to all hell and I was 60 when it came out.... But remembering the good old days... which were far better, makes me judgemental on why anyone can say PoP or Luclin were great expansions.... Yea they were great for the overwhelming increasement in expansions.... yes they were great because they put in so much ubber junk for the raiders and players to make the game stay unbalanced instead of fixing past issues and economy issues.... Hell they were even great because they gave you more reasons to stay in the same zones and do the same repetive process of EXPing for AA instead of makeing a ALT or Twink ALT and trying the world of Norrath through a whole new view.... And finally they were great expansions because they gave SOE so much more money to make the game better, at the expense of the players of course.... But you get what you pay for, and to be honest, a full game with talent stays at around 50 bucks for a year or at best 2.... These start out at 20 - 30 bucks, but hell when you have 430,000 subscribed account, you could be a millionare by just makeing them 3 dollars a piece.... So when you think about saying how great these expansions are compared to what they ADDED too... Think upon these wonderful reasons to why they were so great, because we all know.... Your in their world now :twisted:

well said buddy...
i personally think the last expansions were rushed and just put out to make them a bunch of money. Sure the new graphics are nice and the new weapons, race, zones, and blah blah blah.... but the overall game of what it was in the beginning was much more well thought out through the first two expansions... the game has become one of twinks and money grubbers(Sony being one of them) the fun is lost through this shit! think about all the crappy expansions they are putting out in so little of time..... but on the otherhand all us dumbasses buy them so why not make crappy ass expansions.

[john_redman33]

I have to disagree that LoY was a bad expansion...sure it was rushed but in my opinion it was one of the more "useful"(I didn't say original or good, mind you) expansions. New LFG tool(I would never get a group in BoT/HoH if it wasn't for that thing), guild manager(having my own guild on EQlive, that is very helpful), and yeah I'm too self centered but I liked the dye too. Sure it wasn't a great expansion, and Kunark was definitely my favorite expansion(because it was first one I experienced), and it can't top Velious either.

Luclin was crap, always will be crap. I hated Luclin. The boss mobs were weak except for Ssra and slight few others. There were seldom few mobs a tank, shammy, high damage rogue, 4 clerics and a mage(before click stick nerf) couldn't take in luclin(a mage before click stick nerf summoning mod rods would basically triple 4 clerics mana pool, allowing a fight to last much longer. although now mages actually blast in raids, they were more effective summoning mod rods sad but true.).
What I'm saying is Luclin sucked, content wasn't original, was more sci-fi than rpg with the mobs(Zelniaks, Umbrous Toilers, Grieg mobs. Need I say more)

PoP AA was also useful to an extent, but almost nobody levels in old world zones anymore(i.e their patch to make it so you can get exp on lower lvl mobs at 60-65, so more would lvl in old world). This basically ruined it, and their sad attempt at making a storyline for PoP was lost in the masses of people competing for "uber lewts" in higher tier planes.

All in all I agree the real "feel" of EQ was definitely lost after Velious..and although the expansions after it weren't all that great, they still serve a purpose..for sony #1 purpose bringing new players to the game that want more advanced player content #2 to keep old players hooked with AA and new zones/features. It's all about the money

just my 2 plat there. I dont care if anyone flames me but I prob wont remember to check this thread again. spending too much time learning code and playing eqemu

i agree everything after velious was shyt

[x-scythe]

i think velious was the worst expansion...couldnt really do anything unles you were high level and had a good guild in most cases

[BLOOD_kane]

not true it had great content for 25+ which at that time was more than half of the level limit. I wish instead of luclin they added that 6th continent that they never will :(
