I miss how in EQlive, it took some classes months to find thier epics.
The smart thing for them to do was to have not announced that the epics had gone live, and let the players find them on thier own without knowing they were in.
I'm also very disappointed in the graphics for the weapons themselves. Even without particle effects, the Coercer, Wizard, Assassin, and Bruiser epics are severe disappointments. You can barely see the Coercer or Assassin epics. How is a BONE an epic weapon for a wizard? it's a baby rattle, not a weapon of immense power!
On the other hand though, I'm very impressed by the Swashbuckler, Brigand, Monk, Warden, and Ranger epics. Very impressive.
