I am still down with trying to improve the raid scene. Step by step, if necessary.

Here is the progression of ideas. It started with forum posts, on to internal discussion, then to the Raid Changes thread. Although not yet implemented, this is basically the concept of what will occur. Internally, we haven't changed our mind on this and haven't said anything different.

Thread is still open for discussion.

I would love to see some of these changes implemented even if its just a temp testin week/2 week period to see how it goes. We can theorycraft all we want but we will never know until we see it live and in action.

Hear, hear!

Looking forward to this.

Epics should be attainable by people, as they are a main goal of classic everquest. Right now drops from innoruuck such as mage hate staff and slimebloods for necros are not and i think that this should be fixed in whichever manner you guys find fitting

THIS. and dont forget VS part of druid epic, why non TMO/BDA or anyother NON POOPSOCKERS cant attain it? tell me. this sucks

VS part is not the hard part, the fay pod is, at least until they patch it. go check out the research on the druid epic that was done for the pod drop rate thread. one guy talks about spending 400 hours to get his druid epic (pre velious). glad i finally got mine, but just saying, it wasn't easy on live and it isn't easy here.

Both are tough, but I feel VS is harder given that it's socked through most of the window.

On this server, I would say this. I know a dozen+ druids who are done with the entire epic outside the VS drop, including the Pod of Water. Not to say VS has a worse drop rate or anything, but for the mere fact that VS is killed practically instantly on pop.

Druid epic sucks anyway! <Angry druid in denial about VS epic part>

Epics are supposed to be rare. It gets easier in Velious, but it still requires a lot of luck and hours of dedication.

there are way more epics here than I remember seeing during live.

epics are not meant to be common, easily acquired items...thats why they are called epics

There is no "main goal of classic everquest", while most of the people on this server are min/maxers and want their epics, the majority of the population back in the day did not try so hard to get their epics, and undoubtedly if they had to get their epic piece they wanted off a raid mob, they would have to be in a raid guild or join/start pickup raids to get it, why should this be any different just because you don't want to join a guild that can aquire the pieces?
