Title: Why I love the official boards Post by: Murgos on December 04, 2004, 05:46:44 PM Quote Basically every single class is having the same feelings about their own class. This is a list of threads compiled on the Paladin forum (yes, the paladins are saying they are underpowered too...along with every other class in this game).

Title: Why I love the official boards Post by: Lanei on December 04, 2004, 09:21:55 PM So... Business as usual on the eq2 "its whineplay, only for a different game" forums.
Is anyone actually surprised by this? Title: Why I love the official boards Post by: Murgos on December 05, 2004, 08:48:02 AM Why user boards are better:

Title: Why I love the official boards Post by: schild on December 06, 2004, 09:47:51 AM At least nothing in EQ2 is soulbond. Fuck, I hate that mechanic.

Is that the one where it stays on you when you respawn after death? Cuz if it is, it'd be more accurate to say that EVERYTHING you are carrying in EQ is. The only reason to go back for your spirit shard at all is to recover your statloss and some xp debt. Title: Why I love the official boards Post by: schild on December 06, 2004, 10:42:31 AM No, it's when you pick something up and noone but yourself can use it. I.E. I'm out hunting and find this awesome sword of jackass slaying +1. I can't use it cuz I'm a finger wiggler. But my warrior friend isn't in my group so he can't loot the corpse. Since I have to pick it up I can't sell it at an auction or trade it to an enchanter to be disenchanted. It's just mine. My awesome useless sword. Meh.
Title: Why I love the official boards Post by: Soukyan on December 06, 2004, 10:44:37 AM I thought Soulbound only takes effect once you equip the item? But I never tried to trade a soulbound item that I haven't worn, so I could be wrong.
Title: Why I love the official boards Post by: murdoc on December 06, 2004, 11:08:20 AM Depends on the item. Some stuff is soulbound upon equip and some is soulbound as soon as you pick it up.
Title: Why I love the official boards Post by: Wukong on December 06, 2004, 11:10:43 AM Soulbound does refer to items that would respawn with you in orginal EQ. It was a mechanism generally only used for keys.
Schild you mean No-Drop. And there are plenty of such items in EQ2, tagged No-Trade. There are also Attunable items, which become No-Trade if you choose to equip them. Title: Why I love the official boards Post by: El Gallo on December 06, 2004, 12:13:08 PM They call it soulbound in WoW. Some things are "bind on equip" (like EQ2 attuneables) while others are "bind on acquare" (like EQ 1 NODROP items), but they all say "Soulbound" on them in WoW once you equip/pickup, which is I presume what he's complaining about.
In WoW, most of the useful things are bind on equip to cut down on mudflation. Drops from bosses in the instanced dungeons (and presumably raid drops) are bind on acquire to cut down on mudflation, to prevent excessive farming/twinking, and to keep the achievers happy. Since you typically have 5 people in an instance group, it's pretty rare that nobody wants a drop, unless you are farming the place for the nth time looking for a particular rare or semi-rare drop. Once in a while you'll get leather rot because there are no druids or rogues in your group. |
