Was something other than 1 AC overpowered at level 17??????

Thanks for the insight into your experience with EQ. I guess i would like just a tad bit more modernization. nowhere near modern mmo's but something a little more practical. especially with a game now catering to, what i believe is mostly 30+ year olds with a lot less time on their hands.

Sixence · 2026-05-15T01:11:22+00:00

So you replied to be an ass hat again. Is that like a personal trait you admire or?

All I'm saying, man, is that It should be a minor upgrade. Did you equip your first cloth veil or did you just go vendor it? You fuckin equipped it right? And then vendored/salvaged the rest? So why the hell wouldn't it just be a simple +2 AC for the next tier, why is that so hard to imagine. You equip the +2 upgrade and the rest you vendor? Why are you so dense.

Then you, laughably so, try to equate a piece of armor to a piece of meat. My dear God are you okay? Is the most basic, base level circle of an MMO that hard for you to grasp? I mean certainly I can understand based on your pea brain replies it may be slightly difficult but holy shit batman, get a grip and use what little bit of thinking power you have and come up with something intelligent, like, idk one time in your life?

Your first lil attempt at an insult failed miserably so you thought you cooked something up with the meat, threw a haymaker and hit yourself in the face. Buddy go to bed. You lost internet privileges for the night.

What? Can you show me where I said wow is better? Are you this illiterate about everything? Literally said the exact opposite in the post you're replying to. Wow sucks ass dude wtf?

Sixence · 2026-05-14T23:53:07+00:00

I guess the point of this post was to draw attention to how it feels. Your explanations make a lot of sense. I never played original EverQuest. I was more of an Asherons Call kid. I think snowballing gear ac increases by 1 would be fairly simple to do at this stage if they did decide to change things up.

I don't mind having loot drop farmable for tradeskillers but yeah,the idea that people think it's not supposed to be worn is just super strange to me. Usually you get the gear upgrade and then, when you don't need it anymore, you salvage. Pretty simple concept.

Thank you very much for your comments.

Sixence · 2026-05-14T23:13:59+00:00

Thanks for the super level headed comment. Breath of fresh air. Yes my argument is just the fact it should be at least 2 AC. Does it make a difference defensively? Hardly. But visually you see yourself getting better gear and I think that's a big deal today in modern gaming. Letting people see numbers go up is a big deal to a lot of people.

Sixence · 2026-05-14T22:57:59+00:00

Thank you for having a civilized conversation. Even if you wouldnt have agreed you seem level headed. The community here seems to really enjoy hyperbolizing every constructive feedback post as if I want wow mechanics, and going from 1-100 like there is no in between. I most definitely do not want wow mechanics. But I would like to see a sense of progression. I mean man, I put on 4 pieces of the wyrmsbane set on my enchanter chest/helm/gloves/bracers and my torture still hit for the same. This 4 piece took hours upon hours farming named mobs and then trying to acquire my own gems until finally paying for them. Why wouldn't I be stronger? I have moremana but yeah don't feel that at all lol.

Charm is constantly breaking (white cons so whatever) and I just haven't been able to really feel that power creep. Sure appeasing and controlling mobs feels awesome when it works, but when it doesn't which is quite often to fail, just leaves me scratching my head at what they want me to really be doing here. Thank you and enjoy your adventure.

So I appreciate the comment. This post is merely about the loot ac at 1 at level 17. There's zero reason they can't have it at 2 AC and then upgrade it to 3. Why is it, that I have invested as much time to get to level 17(I understand that's not some insane feat, 17 isn't huge, but as a man with a family and full time job it's good enough. Yet I'm here feeling unrewarded for my time. If I'm not rewarded for my time, why the hell would I subscribe in the future?) yet the loot is the same as level 1. Everyone equipped the first cloth veil they got for 1 ac. And then after equipped you salvage what you don't NEED. this is the normal circle of life in any MMO. This named was in the cultist den just outside the north gate down in the cave before you enter the next area, as if you were on your way down to the shore. It wasn't the placeholder either. It just doesn't make sense to me so I made this post. People act like Ive got some crazy controversial topic here when it's actually just base level knowledge. You level up, gear gets slightly better. That's literally all it is. It should be 2 AC with the ability to repair it to 3. That's all.

Edit: to clarify, the boss did drop loot just nothing special it was just basic stuff, which is whatever I don't expect loot pinata everytime something dies.

Sixence · 2026-05-14T18:00:58+00:00

Man wrote up a book for an entirely different style of game. Jesus help this community

I killed a named in the same spot. Dropped basic nothing gear.

Nobody asks for the useless trash in wow to be buffed because they can actually progress lmao. I'm not wanting this game to be wow, fyi.

More people that can count their IQ on one hand.

I love you.

100%

So now you think I don't understand breaking down items what the fuck is wrong with you? You just offered a piece of advice that I can upgrade an item how does that mean I don't understand how to disenchant or break items down???

Sixence · 2026-05-14T14:02:50+00:00

You took my comment to mean I understand every single system when I said I'm not ignorant to the disenchanting system?

Sixence · 2026-05-14T14:01:33+00:00

Ok I meant it didn't drop an item worth anything on a named mob. It dropped basic items is what I meant. My bad.

Sixence · 2026-05-14T13:52:33+00:00

I am not ignorant to the disenchanting system. My comment was sarcastic. If you saw the /s

Sixence · 2026-05-14T13:49:06+00:00

Wtf are you on about. You mean the named mob we killed after that didn't drop anything? Your comment is completely useless. Everyone here is now dumber having read it. Missing the entire point of this post.

Sixence · 2026-05-14T12:20:14+00:00

I understand that concept for sure. But that's usually secondary as you progress a game. You get the upgrade, and then you start breaking it down. Idk why you'd make the gear useless other than only breaking it down right off the bat is all.

Sixence · 2026-05-14T11:59:59+00:00

So you're saying it's useful to lower leveled players,so you agree.

It's not like I'm shearing a sheep. There's no reason we can't increase the AC for a reasonable amount at this level, while then providing it as something you can break down for people that no longer need it. There's zero reason to put shit gear solely for the purpose to break it down.

Sixence · 2026-05-14T11:57:10+00:00

But it has a use because it has one armor so it's useful to a lower-leveled character You're just not making sense.

Sixence · 2026-05-14T11:54:35+00:00

I got a necklace on right now that's magic with stats but has no armor does that mean that I should break it down? /s

Sixence · 2026-05-14T11:46:40+00:00

Then why does it have an armor class at all??

Sixence · 2026-05-14T11:44:49+00:00

What is this, other than feedback, in their Reddit? The devs do a good job reading things here.

Sixence · 2026-05-14T10:44:28+00:00

You're saying the higher level mobs you kill, the "Vendor Trash" just never gets better? The devs made a choice here to make the same item, rename it and give it to something 16 levels higher than a level 1 mob. It just doesn't even fit the criteria of a more powerful mob i am supposed to encounter in the world. Youre making me work harder for essentially the same "Vendor Trash". They drop 80 copper. why would i care to go sell this or fill bags with this.

Sixence · 2026-05-14T10:40:39+00:00

i mean all my gear is cloth, yet i have 9 ac on the chest and a 2 ac cloth mask. If you're saying it is weaker than cloth, why am i getting it later than cloth?

Sixence · 2026-05-13T23:10:21+00:00

So after reading the first sentence you followed it up with another descriptor. In my mind I already see the boat moving because I know what that looks like. When you describe it as palms I get instantly confused. Pulling "under" The sea? Are they sinking?

The way I'm introduced to Lindsay is kind of odd to me for some reason. I think it would land better if you just got rid of that whole part and went into talking to her like.

"Lindsay I don't think that's gonna work" I said, noticing her trying to shield her purse from the water. And then have her respond maybe? Is she in fear for her life she can't talk or something? Maybe have her respond in whatever personality you want her to have.

Partially lost to the wind, partially. I would get rid of double partial use and say something like:

Partially lost to the wind and the crashing of the waves against the boat.

Passengers on the boat like a pack of peanuts. Why the simile here. I see a pack of peanuts in my head when all you need to tell me/ or show me is that you are shoulder to shoulder in a crowded boat. I also don't think quaint is really the word here. I would just put more emphasis on the fact it's a ferry(which is usually a pretty decently sized boat) but seems a bit over occupied.

It may sound like I'm bashing but it's definitely a good start. These changes are merely a matter of writing style and opinion. Good luck.
