Feldon Reversing yesterday’s odd changes to the Zek and Drunder Breastplates, here Today’s Update Notes for September 28, 2011:
ITEMS
- Temple of Rallos Zek non-challenge BP mitigation values should be fixed.
- Temple of Rallos Zek non-challenge BP crit mit should be at 34%.
- Talisman of the Ethernauts should work for real this time.
- Fixed crit mit values on Elements of War caster legs and forearms.
- Fixed the stats on the Feinting Dagger of the Cunning Gambit and Feinting Blade of the Cunning Gambit.
I lol’d. Atleast they’re fixing it relatively quickly.
Yea but what about the other values that made the zek bp less quality thanthe spire bp. I wonder about that.
Yeah, is a non sense… If all the “unyielding” set armor pieces have lower stats than “prodigious” set, why the “unyielding” chest is superior at “prodigious” one now?
For the record best I can recall is all of the update notes have said X SHOULD be/work etc. and they continue the pattern here.
It is almost as if someone is changing a value on an item and saying “badda-boom badda-bing that oughta do it” and leaving it at that.
The Talisman of the Ethernauts shows this clearly there is no GD way that was checked the first time they claimed it was fixed. Of course the first three items here are up for grabs they may work or they may not but at least SOE says ‘should’.
i cant understand why they nerfed non raid bp from KD3, i mean dov Heroic gear is mostly the biggest crap ive ever seen, non drunder gear i mean. Self SF T2-T3 raidgear has more crit mitigation then rygor shard set now. The only better thing on rygor are green stats, but after that, old SF gear is better… SoEs Itemization is really out of any logic.
Looks like green stats are still out of whack, with Spires bp having more than Zek. Utter fail.
Yes the spires bp is better only on green stats, the zep b p is miss depending on class 1-4 points of stamina. However the blue stats are better. Makes no sense. I guess the devs have so many armor pieces floating around they can’t keep up with it.
Yes I just verified it, my prior comment was wrong. The Zek bp is +110 to sta, and whatever your class attribute is. The spires bp is +111 to sta and whatever your class attribute is.
Now the blue stats are just a tad bit better but not much.
Oh and sorry for my miss-spellin on the previous message.
“Fixed crit mit values on Elements of War caster legs and forearms.”
Nice fix, I now have no pants 🙁
really it’s like 6 months later and now you wonna mess with my zek BP’S crit mitigation . your really just out there now soe . wth is your problem you can’t set even a peace of armor and be at peace with it anymore . never in the 6 years i’ve played have i ever seen so many nerf’s and general we’ll change your gear anytime we please and don’t care if toke you a long time to get it . it’s like a pack of kids playing with the controls not the rpg pro’s i always believed were running eq2 . if a new rpg comes along that doesn’t get boring in 2 weeks with new content added all the time your days are numbered soe . i for one would gladly replace the game at this point if i ever do find one . just keep messing with my gear and someone else will be getting my money thats for sure .
The only thing they never break is to not turn off double xp after the weekend end….
You can also by god be assured that there will never be a SC exploit where you get an item and are not charged for it.
patch was 1go too, what was it for ?
@Lempo while that is hilarious, sadly it is also the truth. you will either never see a SC exploit, or they will bring down servers mid day to fix it.
They have been slow to turn off double xp they have also allowed you to double the bonus station cash from the wal-mart cards (and even triple) it when it was never intended to include that.
The difference is that I think the backlash from that would be bigger so it became a feature. Unless they finally changed it.
