<p>From my Guildsite:</p><p><i>"Here is the location for the IIRC chat the other nite. </i><a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/wiki/Dev_Chat_Feb_28_2008" target="_blank">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/wiki/Dev_...hat_Feb_28_2008</a><i>Lazaretto asks: Regarding VP - Is Druushk working as intended and did you mean to put the hardest mobs in the zone on the first floor? Many people consider the Druushk fight in its current form to be almost impossible without exploited mythical weapons.What are your plans for this encounter specifically and for later encounters in the zone. Many raiders are frustrated with what they consider broken raid design Lyndro: Druusk is a little harder than he was intended, and the fight has some "unfun" elements ffffffffffffffor sure (*cough*). That being said, it was intentional that Druushk and Nexona serve as gatekeepers for the epics. We've got some balance changes coming to Druushk that should make the fight a little more accessible. </i></p><p><i>Maverick: The paladin forums are awash with complaints about the 'perceived' design flaws in the paladin epic, and the disparity between it and the other fighter epics. The response to this has been locking of topic that are critical in nature. Do the devs ever plan to actually address this concern held by many of the class? Lyndro: We are looking at all of the epics as a whole. We don't plan on doing spot checks (Aside from bug fixes) with hotfixes or the regular game updates. In an upcoming update we plan on evaluating all the epics (Feedback and all) and making changes to them all at once. Some may change, some may not, some may get better, some may not. We don't have an ETA now, but EQ II is a live game and epics are high profile. We want to do them justice.</i></p><p><i>Runaf: Are there any scheduled changes planned for the swashbuckler VP armor set bonuses and epic effects, and if so is there any sort of timeline scheduled? Archonix: We're currently the set bonus changes for all of the Kunark raid armor sets (Swashbucklers VP set included). No details as of yet, but I'm hoping they'll be out on the test server sooner rather then later."</i></p><p>This helps answer many of our points, however I will judge them by what they do, not what they say... </p>
