Curse

I was thinking about how Dhuum has his Soul Reaper, that the Tyrian bosses who do NOT have green weapons already in areas where they are high enough level(READ: RoF Islands, Southern Shiverpeaks etc.) should get a new gold weapon like the one Dhuum has. They could get ones with their names on them etc. to revitalize some of those areas in the game. It would be fun to see 8 districts in the RoF Islands and fun to see Droknar's Forge be a happening spot again. It would also be great to see people who never bothered to bring their NF/Factions characters through the RoF Islands scramble to get there. I would love to see some of the great bosses in the Southern Shiverpeaks get unique weapons as well. Tie it in to a "Design-a-weapon Contest" or use ones that didn't win. You see a weapon like Dhuum's Soulreaper, and somehow, a "Flatbow" or "Cleaver" just doesn't cut it anymore. Heck, to be really cool, they could be uninscribable to keep that Tyrian charm!

Eh... No thank you.

We have enough greens and Prophecies isn't really meant to be a campaign based in having a green for every single boss who passes your way. That little "trait" is reserved for Faction, Nightfall and EotN.

They dont necessarily have to be green like he said. They can be just gold rarity.

Technically Dhuum's Soul Reaper is a green. It's just gold so that a player can mod it as they see fit.

My answer still remains the same as I said in post number #2. We do not need more greens.

We.
More updates to the greens gamewide would be an improvement. It seems the only greens worth getting take an hour in a dungeon to get the chance* of getting it dropped. If not then its back to the start or buying in town. Making those greens a little more unique then the average unique right? Maybe an update is in order to change the value of such dungeon drops also to be more then just a green, but rather inscribable like Dhuum's making them more versatile and more widely used. Because as we know most people use golds over greens anyways so they kinda arent being used by more then poor players and heroes.

The reason why Dummy's weapon make sense is because the idea is to get people to do an elite area at a time when a game is practically dead. They serve the same purpose as ZQuests - they gather a decent amount of folks in one location so that players can actually party and do certain content.
Adding new weapons to your everyday Joe-bosses would mean people would just farm that boss, without any special meaning to it. There is really no need to promote that at this time.

Too bad it just became more loot for Speed clearers to collect.

Ugh, please no, there's enough useless stat green items out there aready. As said before, Dhuum's might as well be green, it's just moddable.

Zahr Dalsk · Feb 17, 2010, 01:02 PM // 13:02

No. Rather, one could add gold drops to bosses in the Realm of Torment, an actual high-level series of areas.

The Ring of Fire and such is a cakewalk, doesn't make sense to consider that "high enough level." Besides which, prophecies has ugly visuals and isn't fun to play. Skip it.

Did anyone here actually read all of my post? I never said "Green" weapons. I said uninscribable golds LOL. I guess it's my bad, thinking that: A.) Trolls were literate, B.) That trolls indigenous to Tyria wouldn't have access to the internet. Again, my bad.

Why would anyone NOT want new weapons in a game they play!?! That boggles my mind. Why would anyone not want 4 districts again in Droknar's Forge?

chessyang · Feb 17, 2010, 05:23 PM // 17:23

@jazilla well if you just owned just Prophecies or Factions you wouldn't have access to inscription. YES I KNOW YOU can trade or buy them from other people. I think untill all normal areas can drop inscription in both Pro and Fac then it's likely it won't happen.

Don't forget UW / Fow can be accessed on all campains. so they should put some inscription weapon for FOW some day.

but I do agree adding a new or just "boss name goes here" sword or "boss name goes here " bow be pretty neat. Green or Gold. Don't care.

Glint's staff or Kanaxai's Axe (oh there is one already)

As I have said before - because we don't NEED 4 districts of Droks. You can EASILY do those areas with heroes or even hench.
What we need is a bunch of districts for The Deep, DoA, Slaver's, FoW, .... because those are the areas that new players or h/h players need or want a human party for.

/notsigned

Dhumm is a part of the underworld, an elite area. Outdated proph bosses should have outdated reskined greens, not fancy weapons.
