The randomized loot tables on mischife are hands down the most fun I've had playing EQ since I discovered p99
The thing I like abut eq is memorising the patterns and using that to be better at it. It's kind of old school gaming style. Learn the pattern of the boss, while dying many times, to then figure out how to defeat him with your eyes closed.
EQ is like that only on a grander scale. I always thought it would be a dumb idea to mix things up by randomising loot because it would remove the patterns that made EQ cool, but in practice its not that way at all.
It creates this environment where im like, "what do tonight, oh i know, go to kerra to see what drops!" and its fun! "oh ill go to the shadowknight in befallen and see if he has any special loot!"
asking people "hey this dead imp corpse, drop anything cool!??"
it's like when I was a kid playing this game, and there was still mystery... but stil my patern recognition gives me advantage in at least just knowing WHERE the rare spawns are.
So its like, best of both worlds I discovered.
