Freeport / Qeynos unbalanced armor quests?

[Deathspell]

Here's the deal, I made several Qeynos toons and done the armor quests coz they are good gear for no money and they give XP on the way. Despite all my toons, money and gear is in Qeynos, I decided to make a Freeport toon and do the armor quests for some decent gear and XP. I have normal good gear, upgraded all spells and my pet is Adept 3. AQ1 in Freeport for Necromancer: - 18 Fallen Disciples: lvl 18^ grouped heroics (do they even heal themselves?) - Lady Anyanka Polevshi, single mob, but a lvl 20^^^ named heroic AQ1 in Qeynos for Monk: - 20 Calthorsis Clerics: single mob, non heroic - 4 Sabertooth Elders: grouped with single arrow ups, but the elders are non-arrow, so you can kill those and run or die, but at least you got the update if you are solo. I mean, come on, compare the mobs, this absolutely unfair if you ask me. Not only the mob level is unfair, but imo, the mages AQ's harder harder to do for Very Light Armor. (Additonal, there's 3 times less people on Freeport side to find people to group with to get some help.) <div></div>

<P>nothing new <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>AQ is one of the worse unbalanced quests in EQ2 i think (for every armorclass)</P>

[Deathspell]

ah, ok, I thought it may have been changed since the revamp, etc... <div></div>

<DIV>No unbalanced since the first day of beta testing <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>there was a time (solo mob invasion) it was possible to nearly solo the Q-AQs <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

welcome to the fact that nobody at SOE cares about FP

[Kizef_warri]

Welcome to FP. Its the exact same way all the way to writs at 50. I had more cash as a level 10 fighter on the good side than I had at level 20 on my necro. <div></div>

<P>Hokay</P> <P>Yes AQ1 is a pain in the bum for us freeportians - especially as it can be soloed on the queynos side. And lets face it you need the quests in your early 20s otherwise the armour will be of little use to you. This means that oftern you are looking for a group with a healer. Then there's the quest locations.........</P> <P>OK so fair enough they put 2 and 3 into FG, and you have to go quite a ways down to get the watcher (it seems like a long way down when the mobs are even con heroics), but at least FG is quite a popular zone for us and there is usually a decent chance of finding a buddy or 2. Quest 4 is in Edgewater Drains. Do you even know where it is? Has anyone ever seen someone adventuring there???? I cheated at this step and sought the help of a 32 zerker, so we didnt die and had it all done in an hour, but I know that guildies have taken groups of 4 low to mid 20s (with healer) and still wiped a few times. This is the part of the quest series that needs changing. For gods sake put it in Nek or WC.</P> <P>But until they do - if anyone on Toxx is stuck on this quest send a /tell to Tokamak and well get you the update, one way or another.</P>

Everything is more difficult on the dark side <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.  It's what makes us better! <div></div>

[Deathspell]

I don't know if it compensates, but since revamp Stormhold has become a hell for AQ3. We were 3-4 to do our AQ's, but we had no healer. At level 23 we got hit by a brick wall in SH, we need several lvl 24^^^ mobs, [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot]? Now without a healer, you can get some serious levels to kill such mob. Fact is, you get your AQ6 by the time you are nearly 30, which is too late really. <div></div>

[Ernyssyen]

<P>in FP you cant even do AQ1 without a healer or 2 <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

Just console yourselves with the thought that *MAYBE* just maybe sometime soon....all of us Freeportians will get to go into qeynos and slaughter the annoying npcs and their pathetic guards *muahahahahahahahahaHAHAHA* <div></div>

[schrammy]

<P>yea i can't wait till we can get a 24person raid into Qeynos.</P> <P>That would be a MASSACRE </P> <P> </P> <P>LOL</P><p>Message Edited by Raijinn_Thunderguard on <span class=date_text>10-10-2005</span> <span class=time_text>01:55 PM</span>
