EQ2: an angry inquisitor rants

July 10th, 2008

Ok, now I see why this game is falling apart. Read the following common story:

An evening playing EQ2:

“I logged in and of course nobody is looking for group, as always, despite being a healer. Fine, I go to loping plain to finish some quests, since they give really a good boost to XP. I travel there…. travel… run by horse, that’s 24% running speed bonus! …still quite slow… running… I am almost there! ah but must climb that loooooooong wall in butcherblock mountains, great, another 5min gone… running… now take the griffon… running… zoning… now running again to avoid the monsters to reach the zone - but wait, someone is calling for an healer to do Karnor Castle! that would be great XP and loot, so I ask to join. They accept! but… now must travel back! ;_; well ok, I can make it, Call of the Overlord to teleport back to Freeport, then I take the boat to Kylong Plains and I arrive there, great, only another 15 min wasted, not bad.

I zone in, and an idiot puller make me die twice in a row. He can’t make it, really. Keeps pulling 2 monsters at once, and I can’t heal him fast enough since they hit him for 2k at once…! I go out deciding to quit, but they convince me to wait, they want to do an instance in Loping Plain. Great! just where I was only 15 min ago…! :(

The druid creates the portal and I click to enter but… great, I didn’t harvest the special bush to be able to travel there!! that’s where I decide to say goodbye, and log. I downloaded Istaria, I’m going to try that, since I am really fed up with EQ2 and its insane wasting times. Sony should realize that not everyone has the time and patience to waste 15-20 min EVERYTIME they want to group or do anything!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
