whats end game content supposed to be?


In my honest opinion, they should just look back at what the endgame was before they launched the first expansion, probably around the time eChrono/eDQ came out and just attempt to recreate that. Holy shit was the game fun back then.

It wasn't about the number of quests as much as the number of raids with relevant endgame gear/stuff that you could sell for more than 1k plat. I just hate whenever they raise the level cap.

Hi Sev, why don't you ask this on mb?

Lol.
trust me if I was sev I would have kept that game at lvl 20 and none of this rubbish expansions would have come out.
yes I agree when the cap was 20 the end game content was epic. you had N/H/E and epic. if only I could go back to this again I would be sooooo happy. personally I don't understand why they cant make more mid game content and then epic it for later game. kills 2 birds with 1 stone. and get some more content out there. but then again im not sev....lol

Yeah, I love Forgotten Realms, but rarely run the quests. Making the place so hard to get to really backfires on them. I know they want to sell transports, but it devalues the quests they made there.

A lose-lose proposition, how Turdbin  Sad

Yeah, Hall of Heroes passport, biggest waste of TP in the ENTIRE game. 

Iconics can choose Eberron or the Realms at login, though, without buying the passport or being VIP.

I have no interest in Iconics, I'm not going VIP on all of my family accounts, and even if I liked the Eveningstar quests enough to want to go there often, I wouldn't reward their intentionally screwing over the populace to squeeze a buck out of them.

I'll happily pay for quality content, but I refuse to be held hostage  Angry

Well that is because Amrath is the floating town in the plane of Shavarath. The vale of twilight is in eberron and was invaded by forces from the plane of Shavarath. They claim to be adding new quests to the Plane of Shavarath pack with a new raid first, then they are going to add quests to the Vale of twilight pack, and an epic version of the shroud.
  

Fuck Off, That is all

Don't expect a freebie in either update. They went out of their way to stress that these were new packs, not add-ons.

Yup, seperate packs.  Unless VIP, you'll have to buy them.

Oh good, annother opportunity to vote with my wallet "Your current development 'vision' is out of touch, I won't pay you until you start doing quality work"

In the extremely unlikely event that it actually *is* good work, well, maybe I'll make my first purchase in a year and a half. But I'm not holding my breath!

new quests = new adventure pack... it was obvious as soon as they said that they weren't reusing the old quests.

If you have the Failoon expansion then it takes completing all of, what, 7 quests at level 16 to get a Key of Eveningstar.

Getting back is easy even without teleport; you just go to the Eveningstar Hall of Heroes (even as Premium) and exit to teleport to the cavern, right in frobt of the exit to your guild ship.

Yeah that was just a mistype. I knew it was going to be a new pack. I should have said they are adding a new pack to the plane of shavarath. I was just trying to clarify the differences between the areas.

I actually liked the Amrath/Invade-Shavarath-and-get-cool-rings-and-potions quest line; since Turbine has been beating the Xoriat Horse dead since release.

However, hardly anyone ever plays that shit...I think I've seen 1 or 2 TOD raids up on Khyber in the last year, and of course they never fill and never get far (YMMV, I'm not on all the time). I highly doubt unless this new Archon stuff gives loot that makes Epic Necro4/TF look like Waterworks loot (which it wont) that anyone will play it for more than just the novelty of doing so.

I'm sure they'll jack the Warlock up - I'll reiterate my past points: It'll be like DAOC's Warlock, super overpowered and then gets nerfed so it is like a 2006 Bard and you'll rather have your penis flensed by inbred and blind Japenese twins than to play one. I might try it, just for shits and gigs, but it'll be another Pale Master Effect and have 4/6 people in your PUG try to be WF Shirardi PM's.

Epic Vale SHOULD be good...I mean, the Vale and the Shroud are the GREATEST accomplishment Turbine had made, I'd expect them to put SOME effort into it...but, we've all seen the TOEE disaster.

I'm still feeling underwhelmed and uninspired. The 30 cap will be meh, I don't really TR to begin with.

How about just giving everyone Half-Dragon Neutral Evil Psions and calling it a day.  Cheesy

All I know it it better be as hard as when Elite Amrath was when it was first released. I don't care if only the best of the best can complete elite until the level cap goes up.

Good loot + nothing too gimmicky + hard = lasting till Epic Vale. It's what we endgamers need.

Yeah, it's too bad, it's some of my favourite content.  I've seen some 20-28 favour runs pop up lately, probably just to get yugo pots.  I've been running it lately to fill out the new monster manual, and reminded of just how much I like the quests, but the public area is absolutely deserted.  Anyone want to come pull levers for me in Genesis Point?

It is sad, back when the content first came out and there was a substantial community lots of people played it for Lore sake...it tied in the whole Shroud > Chrono/Devil Assault story arcs and personally I always loved extraplanar stuff, they could've done SO much more with it - so hopefully with Epic Amrath and focusing on the Archon side of stuff they actually do some good.
