The problem with it is that it's random and uncommon.

99% of Lootgen items are pure vendor trash.  That's okay because we pick up hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of lootgen items, so that 1% turns out to be a decent amount of quality lootgen items/weapons over time.

How many challenge items will you get up in a week?  How many raid items will you get in a week.  As a hint, it's less than hundreds and hundreds.


Randomness in named items with a way to keep pulling the roulette wheel on a specific aspect of that item is somewhat annoying (current Dragontouched armor).  Randomness in items where every aspect of the item gets rerolled and you have no way to "keep" a desirable aspect of that item is just full of fail.

Oh come on now, they've clearly taken that into consideration:

I wish the turbine staff and everyone else I have wronged would do that.  After they jump we can all see how much I actually care.

Maybe, but then they better massively increase drops rates for stuff like this.  And from what I read, it's still atleast a couple hours farming for the random challenge shit.

I really don´t see the problem.

You shouldn´t make so specialized and limited characters. If you make a splash Druid / Sorc / Cleric you will have a lot more chances to get loot you could use.
Also, you could roleplay more and just imagine you get the desired item.
So, it is your fault Gawna. L2P.

I have this horrible idea that it's still BTC like all raid loot. Cue lots of drama over horsetrading and so on. BTA, or even better, BTC on equip like they seem to be making half the stuff anyway.

I'm just depressed that they think this is a good idea. I can't even muster up the hate energy to say "WTF are you people thinking of" in a polite way on the other forums ATM, it's so miserable.

I mean, Epoch, your problem is clear: you were raised in a developed country.
Ferrnando Paiz...Ferrnando Paiz... does the name sound German? WASP? Russian? Japanese? Chinese?
Look, in Spain... Mr. Divar. President of the Supreme Court. So he was spending lots of public money in luxury hotels with his boyfriend:

After a lot of presure, he had to resign.
So, we have a new President. Just look at the new guy:

Imagine this guy would be running Turbine.

you just really had to hit that nail right on the head didn't ya.

We are in an abusive relationship, but we just can't leave. "He didn't mean it. He didn't mean to hit me he just gets frustrated sometimes. I still love him!"

I didn't preorder, because the epic destinies rubbed me the wrong way. I've been in games where you can buy serious character power upgrades in the store, it never ever ends well.

Maybe I'll buy stuff with points in August, but for now I'm content to wait and see how things shake out.

Mostly right except it's now 50% off the NPC's health and 50% based on Optional completion.  The NPC is much more hardy than Coyle but must be lead through a maze.  After running an Arti for 2 days and watching my dog just freeze up and stop doing anything in dungeons I can't wait to see what fun this NPC is and get my +6 True Law Byshek Greataxe of Superior Shattermantle and Enfeebling.

I want to have hope for the game, still.  I'm not as jaded as some of you folks.  But, I also haven't been on the receiving end of disappointment from Turbine as long as many of you have.

I want to give Flimsy a break.  But, at the same time, they previewed this stuff to us in the 11th hour.  Now they don't have time to tweak the design to make the raid palatable?  Well, that sucks.  Cause they could have prevented this with some better planning and scheduling.  Flimsy, I think, is suffering heavily from "your baby is ugly" syndrome, and he doesn't have the time to get his baby to the plastic surgery clinic.

As for Feather, he seems to have let all of his Dev-hood go to his head.  A small degree if ego is a good thing.  But, I think he's come unhinged on a power trip.  The part that worries me most is how his Spell Power baby is going to crush Cannith Crafting.  And he doesn't even care, because he "doesn't do Cannith Crafting."  Collaboration is important.  I very well can't go and shut down all SSL transaction on my network because I don't care about them and don't take ant part in processing them.  You have got to work with your team if you want to guarantee a good product.
