Alternate Advancement: Good or Bad?

[Hiragawa]

AA's were good up to a point. The first few Expansions that added them, added some very nice things but they weren't going crazy. But after awhile it got out of control and they started adding aa's that were just... yeah.

The only form I would like AAs to be is, as someone posted earlier in this thread, if they were specifically designed for p99 and would offer customization. No EQ AAs please.

[Malrubius]

We all know that they will never be on this server. Nor should they. /thread

Not a bad idea, particularly if everyone had the same ones..

Stats, Resistances, Run Speed, Critical Rating - etc.

It would 'even' the playing field and make them pretty non-critical for grouping/raids.

No doubt, Talu. I think it's fair to say the devs shouldn't announce anything until the situation arises. As you said, it'll do no benefit.

It's still fun to brainstorm a bit, though. Maybe give them some ideas.

Rollback is a decent idea. Would just suck to come into the server close to the rollback :P

If rollback is a possibility, I would like to know up front before I invest my time any further in my characters. I mean, investing my time in a bunch of digital trinkets on a Emu server is foolish enough, but investing my time in the same knowing for a fact that they day will come where it's wiped clean... I could be spending this time getting laid. Or perhaps something slightly more realistic. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yup, i definitely wouldnt be a happy camper to be rolled back in 2 years... or so.

[Branaddar]

Yeah the only way I could see them not bleeding a lot of players is if there's an added bonus to the rollback somehow. Like you keep all your gear/skills or something. I dunno :P

It's part of the reason I just can't get into EQLive anymore. Knowing that even when I hit the next level cap, there's still 1000+ more AA I need to earn in order to be on par with the people that didn't quit playing.

My problem is that I found that as soon as I reached the level cap and got near the number of AA's I needed, they raised the cap again. It was a viscious cycle. IDK, maybe I'm in a minority, but I actually liked Luclin. *ducks*

[matahari]

I don't like aa's. That is my opinion.

Plus they came out with luclin obviously.
