The three princes

[Ishbu]

<div>Would the developer of the three prince encounter on guardian's island in barren sky please come forward for a round of applause.  This has to be one, if not the most fun encounter I have partaken in in eq2.  It was unique, it was challenging, and it was fun progressing to the point where we finally beat this encounter.  I tip my hat to you.</div><div> </div><div>As for the loot....</div><div> </div><div><img src="http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/8917/loot3sv.jpg"></div><div> </div><div>Um....the scout weapon is cool but arent the stats kind of low?  I would hope that it gets a little bit of a stat/hp/power upgrade.  The mage weapon is kind of meh, especially considering anyone who beats this encounter will mow through the godking for the peacock weapons.</div><div> </div><div>Again though, this was a great encounter and I just wanted to extend my gratitude to whomever designed and to my guildmates for toughing it out after a few major bumps in the road that were by no means our fault <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div>

<div></div>Please take a look at the proc on the Nightfall dagger, I parsed myself with just auto attack for around 500 swings, and it never procced.  Best encounter I've seen in the game to date, I just feel the loot needs a little love, and uh, proc-debugging. :smileyhappy:

<div>Indeed, a good fight it was.</div>

I agree with my guildmates. Excellent encounter. Very fun, and challenging. This is one encounter that I could see us continuing to kill even after the level cap is raised (regardless of the loot) simply because it's fun. Very well done. Thanks to all for sticking it out last night, it was incredibly satisfying to down these guys after our earlier speed bumps.I also have to agree about the loot, though. The 1hd dagger could definatley use a bump, and I'd like to see the numbers on the dual wield get fiddled with. This is a scout only dagger that drops from a raid mob. I think it's safe to say that raiding scouts don't really want or need +defense or +parry. If you could roll those through your item number cruncher and add their vaules to the stats/hp/pow I think this would be a great weapon. Love the damage rating. (Also, check that the proc is actually working.)(I was also hoping for 3 Fabled items from this encounter, to correspond with the 3 named princes and difficulty, but I may just be greedy. (We did get 3 Fabled, but one was a master spell, so I didn't really count that.))Once again. Nice job. <span>:smileyhappy:</span><div></div>

The other day when our group was getting ready to head to Vaults, our Ranger was on the island doing something that upset those Princes... I was halfway across the zone on another island, and was one-shotted for 10k damage <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><div></div>

Yes, if you interrupt their meeting and stick around to wake them up, there's no running, no escape. They do have wings, so it's no surprise that they'll fly to other islands to kill you. <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><div></div>

It's not a quest. It's a contested raid in Barren Sky.<div></div>

<div></div><div>Hmm… that loot looks pretty bad, but who cares you WW1st it!  You all deserve a pat on your relic-farmed backs for the victory.  You had to fight the princes, lag, reset bugs and still persevered. </div><div> </div><div>Just goes to show what can be accomplished without needing to cry on the boards that an encounter is impossible.  Looks like it wasn't necessary to slander the reputation of your competition via elaborate posts with wild accusations… you can defeat them ingame!  I see now you have skill.  I commend you all on a worldwide 1st of some difficulty.  GRATS!</div><div> </div><div>Booshy</div>

[MystaSkrat]

<div></div>I'll actually post a parse later of auto attack with that Dirk of Nightfall, so you can see that it procs a grand total of 0%.  I love the damage rating on it, but for it being from one of the hardest T7 encounters in the game, it sure does lack on stats.  What's with the +parry and +defense, and please clue me in as to why it has +72 to certain resists.  Really seems like a randomly generated item to me LOL.  As far as the proc on it goes, if it did actually work, I think I'd still be slightly disappointed due to the fact that a lot of other weapons (from 1 or 2 tiers lower) have either a higher chance to proc, a higher damage on the proc, or both.  I really hope someone (dev) can look over these items and see that they aren't worthy of the encounter they come from, because we can sure see that, and we didn't design it.

[Kraks_Aforty]

Grats DissoAs for DMP, we're farming it now, but even now, we still hate that place.  It was just such a bad, bad idea.  It was like the alignment of all the bad stars occurred at once and voila, you get DMP.<div></div>
