yaw cept kunark was actually chill n fun expac.

goog textures and lush environments, no gay wasteland to save developer time with poorly designed dungeons (massive shitholes with vaunted ceilings 100 feet high in every single meaningful zone so big you don't need any textures or have to design anything (TOV ITS JUST REALLY FUCKIN BIG MAN THERES DRAGONS HERE ITS SO FUCKING BIG WE DONT NEED ANY ART LOL!!!).

skyshrine design was ok in theory but mobs and itemization was shit. concept was shit. level range also shit. implementation shit. waste of a possible seb 2.0.

Kael drakkel, the one saving grace of Velious along with ring war and Dain.

Icewell, completely wasted concept. Unfinished design, unused, not itemized.

don't know what to tell you pal. kunark is a superior expac too much to list.

Interesting zones like PoG were flawed design. PoG should have been a sister zone to PoM, as in, not a huge green field pit of 10000 mobs. Again, lazy, slothful, shit design.

Yaw I agree.

I think it was the progress eq took and ran with for all the xpacs 2 come.

Even in luclin....vexthal?? Holy shit.

Ssra was awesome and well built/scripted and when you finally got to kill emp sraa it felt goooooooog.

But slapping 500k on raid mobs, making boring zones with 10,000 mobs and giving weapons 20% more dps seemed 2 ne the focus of eq after kunark.

If Kunark had variance maybe, one guild keeping it locked down for years without breaking a sweat back to back bosses one day was pretty lame, very limited content.

But as far as design I see what ur saying.

upper guk / lower guk - sol a / sol b

KC - Seb

Take Crystal Caverns. waste of zone due to no cool itemization. And before you say "its low lvl". Guk is low level, guk has meaningful items even in Velious. ghoulbane is cool and meaningful for a good quest and so are frog crown and FBSS and SSB. even yaks.

Why does Crystal Cavern have fuckall items after all that design of the zone?

Why not make Icewell a guk 2.0 itemization wise and expand the design? let people have some fun doing something besides farming gems. I guess those gear sets killed any creativity the devs had.

Kunark just feels more like a continuation of classic, very cohesive, immersive kick ass itemization and camps. etc.

Where is earring of essence in Velious? BoH? Where is all the cool stuff outside of raids and armor sets?
