Just before launch I made a post about a few bothersome things we would face at launch. I just entered the T3 lands and figured I would review to see how things are going.
1) Gravitation to EvC – still an issue, as I found the T2 and T3 scenarios popping the most for me on my scenario nights (I fly around and queue all pairings)
2) Tanks have worked out as a problem as we discussed on the order side – the Order tanks aren’t as yummy as the Destro ones and they (again, in my experience and on my server) are typically outnumbered 2:1 tank wise with their counterparts. Good news is Mythic is going to pop those characters back in as soon as possible, as free content – no timeline, unfortunately.
3) Cross Pairing Scenario Queues – They are now in! I have been bugging them for the past 6 months in beta (as have others) and because of how quick they got this out, methinks they had the capability all along – and just wanted to see how things played out at release. Mythic I love you, at the bare minimum, for this alone.
4) Destro population imbalance – held true as well. No fix announced for this yet, but I am sure it is on the top of their minds as the whiney-whinertons are out in full force – as they should be. Everyone called this as would-be-happening and while I appreciate being cautious to see how it played out, let’s hope they already have a solution in the wings they are getting ready to launch it. Hopefully it is part [2] above, with the speed of part [3].
On a side note: this is the longest ‘between posts’ since I started the blog, and I apologize for that. I saw the good (bad?) end of a bottle of The Belvanie awaiting my red-eye flight home from a working weekend in Vancouver. Needless to say, two days later, I am still feeling the pain. I don’t recover quite as well as I used to. Once the cobwebs are all out and I am fully healed, I’ll be sure to grant more of my enlightened wisdom upon you all. [sarcasm alert]
On a second side note: Good to see OZ posting again at KTR. He may deny this to save face, but I became a guild member with Oz in EQ on the testserver in The Grove. He and his band of merry men/women showed me what a guild of like minded people can do to an online experience – turn a tag into a home. Sorry for the off topic pingback Oz, but I was wondering where you went. He covers a topic that as an older gamer I am faced with every day – time value. Go check it out. Just stay away from the scotch while you are reading it.
