Eq is awesome.... faction game sucks.

Factioning in Velious blows. Will give me reason to play my main... But with the number of people at 60 with max exp, being in-group is pretty useless unless there's a bard or for group buffs. Beyond that, I expect to be out of group a lot to let lower levels get exp.

I can't wait for the complaining posts from rival guilds when there are people tagging their raid mobs for faction hits.

But adding all that raid content will be nice to keep people busy, especially since they aren't 1 minute fights against 32k HP mobs. Especially those that force trash clears. I'm sure people will try to Bladestopper and counter-train shit around though... Oh the petitions it will create.

dwarf faction will be easy rest ehhh.

Agreed for the most part, but I hope it does come for those that enjoy it.

Velks, ToFS, and Ring War-- only fun I ever had in Velious.

Oh don't get me wrong. There is some neat stuff in the expansion. I think it is more fun at like level 30 to 40 than 60 will be. Some really nice quests and gear in it. So it will not be boring, but it is a hard expansion to deal with gear wise and faction wise. Not many classes are going to solo a lot of mobs that's for sure.

Nobody is going to argue about it coming out trust me, including me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The zones will be so overcrowded that guilds will just team up for 24/7 Kael armor/faction grinds. Nobody will care if you snag a faction hit. What matter is the kill/loot.

Look at the velious beta list of things to be completed: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=157067

- Kael, Skyshrine and Thurgadin armor quests all need to be completed (only a couple of classes are done for each)
- Temple of Veeshan quests
- Baking and tailoring

Between the armor quests and ToV quests, there isn't much that is soloable. Most need a group or raid. Without serious dedication by multiple guilds on blue 99, I don't see this stuff getting done any time soon.

It is confusing to me why more people don't log into the beta server, especially when you can play on blue at the same time if you want to. Everyone wants velious but not many seem willing to help test, everyone just thinks somebody else will do it. I think they might need to actually turn off blue for a few weeks just to drive people onto the beta server.

The people who are going to benefit the most from SoV being released are these top tier guilds too. With the lack of soloable content left to do on the beta server, I think some kind of server-wide movement to finish the raid content needs to be done. I have no idea what would spur this movement though. Putting all raid mobs on FFA until the QA is done?
