Upcoming change to class epics

[Rararboker]

Problem with removing MQ it's that their are legitimate uses for it. None of the guild wizards at Phinny when he drops the staff? Np, MQ it to a guildy when he gets online.

They did it because Brad said in an interview on stream that they never intended for non-planar characters to have epics. They never went through with the change on Live but that's probably enough evidence for Rogean and Nilbog.

"Achieved." Buying your epic in EC is such an achievement.

This thread is still going?

You don't have to stray outside these forums to see that epics were able to be completed by level 1s on live.

The decision to change epics to level 46+ was made for a variety of reasons. Simply because something existed on live servers does not mean that it will be the case here if it conflicts with the vision of the server.

At the end of the day, you're playing for free on someone else's box.

The picture is helpful in some sense even if PoP+. People went and asked McQuaid if level 1s/sub-46 should be able to complete epics. He said it wasn't intended, but based on the picture/story that goes with it, even in PoP+ you could MQ/complete at least some epics on sub-46 characters. Unless something changed epics to the quests so they could be done at these levels during/after Luclin/PoP, then it was always in. That isn't to count out some new quest code messing up old world/kunark level checks at some point.

that would be my guess.

[pharmakos]

you farmed enough plat to buy an epic, but don't think you'll ever get to level 46 for a chance to use it?

So you cant hit anything with the cleric epic pre-46. Do the rest of the stats work? the +100 mana +25 wisdom etc?

Being a relatively new player to the server, seeing clerics in mistmoore with epic and green con shaman with epic was one of the most discouraging things I've run into on here. It's a joke.

As a player who has been here for a long time, it's great to see new players agreeing with the sentiment !
