Can custom content Please correct epic rarity

[magnetaress]

Calling a mage without their epic a loser is like emasculating a man for not having a 10ft peener. when they already got 7ft

I love how whenever anyone says something reasonable here, like "some classes have massively harder epics which require belonging to the server's top raid guild ... and some can be bought for 20k in EC ... it might be better if they harder ones weren't quite so hard" ...

... and it somehow always gets attacked with a variation of "you're a crybaby, stop asking for handouts".

I take the wide stance of the easy epics should be rarer. There is nothing epic about my 52 monk in crystalline silk armor wielding celestial fists.

neither are absolutely neccissary to enjoy this game i feel real bad xude for anyone that 'needs' their epic, that is like, needing bixie parts man (btw i am farming them so i can sell them later or make bixie pies)

You've missed the point entirely. The point was never that epics were necessary: that's your straw man. As an aside though: c'mon. People like playing their characters and getting epics: it's a part of EQ, and it's insanely hard for certain classes. This isn't rocket science ... it's a game.

But the real point is, someone made a comment about the game ... and again, I think it's hard to argue it wasn't a completely rational and logical comment. And you attacked the person for a perceived moral failing (of wanting welfare pixels). It's not at all atypical here, but it just annoys me because attacking people personally, when they're trying to talk about the game, only lowers the level of dialogue for everyone. It's like we've gone back to elementary school where "your mom is fat" is a legitimate retort.

Xude. These are "Epics" not rusty short swords. I stand by Jimjam. There is nothing epic about:

1. Instancing them
2. Adding gnoll fang quests for them
3. Giving them to anyone who is willing to farm 30,000 light stones


--------------

The OP is crying salty tears about a GAME, just like u illustrated. Part of this game is there are some really cool, unique, and rare items.

There are not enough artifact rarity items, and arguably there should only be like 3 or 4 epics on any server, 1 should drop a year, that would make having an epic. REALLY cool and not just a tedious raid DKP meter progression [x]

-----------

[x] Never got an epic, didn't kill myself over never getting an epic, I got 99 better reasons to self harm

*************

What I really don't appreciate is people posting RnF threads into the general forums yelling at people 'because they dont have their epic yet' as if it is some how my fault.

I never gatekeeped an epic, and I am not a surgeon I can't magically cosmetically give someone their frakkin epic, its not my Innoruuk be damned fault and I don't want to be yelled at because they are 'rare'. My solution isn't to hand them out like candy and not rare anymore and make the game really dumb and like wow. Where every class has like a 5 second invis but its really fair because it's terrible, and for everyone, everyone can do it. !

-----------

The mentality of OP cheapens the preciousness of life. It is a grave sin, go read the bible about it. It is called Lust, Avarice, Jealously.

Do you even understand the concept of a "straw man"? It's when I make a valid argument, and you ... have nothing. So, since you can't argue with what I actually said, you pretend I said something else, something you can argue with.

No one said any of these things, so the fact that you need to "argue with yourself" to make it seem like your personal attacks were legit ... to me that just demonstrates have nothing to respond with to what people have actually written.

Just because u call it a straw man does not make it a strong man, my xude. Go polar bear form ur way into heaven full of mage epics on Takp, I think it is time for you to ascend, you obviously are a saint.

I'm not even going to argue your dumb straw man logic bullshit because it is a waste of time and does not affect me. You are mad clearly, so is OP. If my posts make you mad, seek truth.

Or /ignore me and descend into the depths of hell. there are leviathans waiting 4u there ) they hold the key to mage epics.

see ya lol

[magnetaress]

Anyway you and OP are arguing they 'shouldn't be rare or hard anymore'

This is not classic and not a good custom change.

There is no straw male in saying 'hey epics should stay rare' to that argument, and then illustrating 'here's why'.

get woke

[loramin]

Again, I made a legitimate comment "we don't need to attack each other personally when talking about a game" ... and you attack me personally rather than responding to the content of what I wrote.

Look, do you just not understand that you can say "I disagree, I think even in custom content the mage epic should stay incredibly rare and be impossible for non-AA Mages to ever get" ... without attacking anyone personally for disagreeing with you (and making up straw men about welfare pixels and the like)?

I notice a lot of rants and flames never end up in rants and flames, I wonder why this is????

Maybe people are afraid of RnF? Maybe they can not handle it? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

your threads and posts are mostly nonsensical and it's people like you that make me question every minute i put into this server

You mean like the "Overpopulation thread" the "Poll to Reopen Teal Thread" the Manastone Threads, the Guise threads?

There are a lot of cries for help on this forum, none of them are mine [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I made this thread to gather replies, so anyone may quote said replies, and said thread OP into those threads that seem out of place and they don't have to bother going around typing up walls of text to illustrate this.

I am having fun. Pretty happy!!!! God bless! ❤️ ♥️ 💗 💓 💕 💖 💛 💙 💜 💚

This is a 90s rp sim. Makes sense to rp a 90s simp.

I never attacked anyone I just said it was really retarded and offensive to make epics not epic lol. AKA as COMMON.

Tis the tragedy of the commons, welcume to humanity. Oh yeee hubris motherfrakkers
