The Peacock Club

Arkenor · 09-10-2011, 12:29 PM

The Peacock Club is an extremely lore-rich, and for its level, very important quest series. I'm playing through it now. Firstly, it does not appear that any of the rewards were brought up to date, but I'm rather more concerned about the final quest "Wrapping It All Up", where it looks like most of the lovely interesting proccing weapons have not only not been brought up to the right power level, but most seem to have been removed altogether, just leaving a couple of swords, and nothing for non-sword using characters. Previously there was a choice of 8 different weapons, all unique looking, with unique procs, with decent choices for any class. These were, at the time, some of the best weapons in the game, and they should still be, at their intended level.

These were classy unique looking gear, and it would be very nice if they were still available (that is, the original items updated by hand (and keeping their procs, improving them where appropriate!!), rather than being replaced by more script generated stuff).

*Edit* Some stuff regarding Godking Anuk removed, pending research.

*Edit* Turns out all the final rewards are still there, according to a chap further down the thread. Though they have not been updated.

i was trying to do this quest also for the very very cool looking sword but the quest wouldnt let me in the house when i got to that point. also complete agree please stop taking cool loking weapon out of the game

SisterTheresa · 09-10-2011, 02:11 PM

I'm actually working on this quest now on live, though I haven't gotten too far (have to find those wierd obelisk/totem things)

It is a shame things were taken out though and I do agree the items need to be brought up to the right level stats wise.

Hm ...

They didn't update the prismatic weapons I dont think either so I'm not holding my breath.

Illmarr · 09-10-2011, 05:35 PM

But we have no idea if it was a conscious decision not to update that loot, or a loot table that fell through the cracks.

I just finished this on Live. I received the proper reward choices for a Mage and Priest class. The entire series of questline rewards were not adjusted during these recent changes

So all 8 rewards are still there then, albeit not updated. Oh, does it only show you the rewards for your archetype now? Maybe that's what caused that confusion.

Still, they could do with being upgraded, if at all possible, along with the forementioned prismatics.

A lot of stuff fell through the cracks. What I noticed were mainly rare fabled drops from mobs in lower level instances... yet things like the fabled chain from contested venekor were updated.

If you want a real good laugh, my weaponsmith still has his wyrmsteel recipes, despite the fact that "Strange black ore" never drops anymore. Even better, just going by the recipe listings, they look like they would make weapons with current stats, roughly on par with ebon weapons. Or otherwise, best I can tell Prismatic 1.0 and 2.0/Peacock club wasn't touched, but weapons that haven't been able to be made for years (like probably around GU24), and that are hardly needed now to kill Darathar even if one does kill him when he still cons did get updates.

Hey Troub,

If I start doing that prismatic garbage on my SK you get to come solo the mobs for me because I can't at 51. K?

And yeah you linked me one of the wyrmsteel weapons. I thought it was amusing.

Now THAT's funny

I really wonder how their script works... And it's not like it would take more than a couple hours to update the "Old Epic" timelines final rewards by hand.

BTW the EoF "Soulfire" questline rewards weren't upgraded either (at least for the Legendary weapon you get before killing Mayong)

ObsidianNightmare · 09-25-2011, 05:04 PM

The rewards for Prismatic, Peacock Club, Claymore, Soulfire all still have not been adjusted. That stats are terrible in comparison to what they represented for their associated expansion.

great there goes my chance at a slashing weapon for my druids again since all they want to do is cookie cutter archetypes I want my druid's slashing weapons back.

Silverzx · 09-30-2011, 03:45 AM

add mythical and epic weapons to the list of weapons that need an update. Remove 2.5 and 3 second delays at the least

Gladiolus · 09-30-2011, 07:00 AM

The intresting storyline drew us to this questline but in the end we didn't care about the lore, all it was about was the frustration of having to do everything six times because there were no group updates. Because of that, there's no way I'll even consider doing this questline again.
