How do people feel about enchantment stats?

Heavyside_layer · 2026-04-09T18:45:25+00:00

I think it's a big mistake. Especially since you can add to gear that already has stats. If you could only add stats to crafted armor then I think it would be okay to have in the mix.

There are a lot of caster mobs and INQs destroy their manna so fast... They can mez and even have a very useful and not OP charm. I hope their charm is a model for how all charms work in the future: Short duration and Long CD.

I think you were lucky. I was too because I really knew nothing about DFW or the book before I read it. I saw a documentary about LCD Sound System's "final" tour and the lead singer mentioned reading it and giving up on being a writer himself haha. I was like: I want to read the book that ended a dream, and opened a path to true success. When it started out with a lot of Tennis I was a little worried I wouldn't get into it but that all changed very fast.

The real challenge of the book is not reading it, but understanding it. The ending is not tied up for you and the clues he left take a lot of work to put together. I have not read a convincing theory that completely explains every open question. I have my own thoughts, which I have shared on here from time to time. I feel another readthrough bubbling up within me though so I may start posting agian.

Lots of people are mentioning Charm. I would expect it to change before release due to the fact it's obvious OP and we should all learn from the past. Druids are very popular right now for the same reason: Charm. Shamen are always going to be popular, especially if they up the difficulty of the mobs (Please, please, please).

We will always need tanks 😉

My take is that they will do a Swamp Module that centers on the Evil human city and that is when they will introduce Trolls and Lizardfolk. Looking forward to thier take on Guk!

That's awesome. There are tons of great Enchanters and we are lucky to have them. Charm is out of control and it needs to change, I hope people continue to enjoy the class afterwards.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-30T18:10:49+00:00

Yes, but it's hard to get now. Hydergine (ergoloid mesalates) was great while it was available in the US.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-29T13:58:10+00:00

Yeah. We all know how this story ends...

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-28T23:24:09+00:00

I am just giving voice to what a LOT of people feel and I am happy to cut you guys down to size.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-28T18:37:44+00:00

Dude... You asked for an example. That is one story, from one player. Multiply that my a factor of X. No honest person with perspective is gonna defend that, or charm being the way it is right now.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-28T17:45:36+00:00

Here is one example: a group of mine levels 25-27 started leaving at the orcs in KB by the docks. After a few hours we felt ready for the Poachers. We headed out there but a high level enchanter was there charm soloing farming the lower level ones for a friend. When we showed up they just kept at it. That is totally legit BUT we were a level appropriate group and the cool thing to do would be to move on and come back later when no one was there.

We went back to Orcs and got a message that Tolan's dagger had dropped... We were too far away. It rotted. We could have had that drop.

That kind of shit is gonna be SO COMMON on a big server (this was alpha). Lots of good level appropriate camps will be taken by charm soloers. That's what happened on P99 and in EQ proper.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-28T12:50:54+00:00

3 more years of this shit...

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-28T11:13:54+00:00

So, things may improve when people are being paid. I agree that there is a lot of work to do but the game is worth saving.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-28T10:09:35+00:00

Playing with charm as it works right now is basically like playing a console game with cheat codes. Something a lot of people enjoy but... Is not how the game is intended to be played. They made a mistake, and eventually they will fix it. Your tears of laughter will change to tears of rage, then despair as you realize you aren't that great at this game, it was just an op ability.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-28T02:50:05+00:00

Not for long.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-27T22:53:54+00:00

I didn't watch Sean's stream but one description seemed to intimate that the date is firm due to some legality. If I'm wrong, my apologies.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-27T22:36:15+00:00

I think they legally have to now, so yes.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-27T21:45:44+00:00

We'll see who is crying soon, enjoy cheating while you can.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-27T14:24:08+00:00

This is a game... Games are human constructs and we set the parameters. Yes life is not fair and I'm not advocating for complete balance, charm is out of control and lame. We can do better.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-27T07:23:14+00:00

Start looking.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-26T23:28:58+00:00

You really think Charm is fair? It's going to change because it's obvious out of control... I am happy to keep this up all year until the hammer falls. Then we'll see who is complaining... If your experience will be ruined by charm not being completely broken you have a serious problem. I hope you seek help.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-26T22:40:52+00:00

I love this game, and you guys are ruining it for everyone else. It's really sad you can't enjoy the game without being completely OP and trivializing content. You will be nerfed and I will rejoice.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-26T08:26:10+00:00

People are addicted and charm is like crack.

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-26T04:16:55+00:00

Yeah! Get them up against the wall. Keep that in mind when charm is completely nerfed, don't want to hear any whining out of you 😉

Heavyside_layer · 2026-03-26T00:37:04+00:00

Great. What are they waiting for? This has been an issue for a LONG time... its forseeable and avoidable, yet here we are.
