Worst ExpansionFollow

I know there was a poll a few months ago asking what the best expansion, but what, in everyone's opion is the worst expansion?

I would have to say that DoDH was the worst... I just don't like the content very much.

oh, I forgot to say mine. I have actually only encountered 4 expansions (3 really, b/c im counting PoK as PoP) Luclin, Kunark and Old World zones, but i would have to say GoD. I dont know of any features it added and i never hear of anyone talking about it, where as OoW+ people use zones or features and older expansions added better zones and features.

Aye GoD is the crapweasel in the bunch.

GoD isn't a problem of difficulty, it's a problem of perception.

Although ikkinz loot is kind of falling behind now with dodh cursor rewards, it's still pretty good, and for a lot of it, pretty easy.

for that matter, the ikkinz RAID lootdroppers are easy... anyone with a tank over 10 or 11k buffed, a solid group, and enough people afk to fill in the minimum requirements can do them.

luclin sucked.

shard camping.

sets a precedent of aliens instead of dragons/eqlike creatures.

first really bad tech problems with eq, ever.

dev1 - lets make raidfights harder! dev2 - okay! 50x hp! TAHDAH!

emp cockblocking.

worthless armor quests.

nerf nerf nerf, nerfity nerf nerf nerf

sets a precedent of blowable scripts.

ssra was originally completely unitemized because a dev thought guilds raided just for fun.

I'm actually enjoying God progression much more so than PoP progression. I'm starting to hate meldstone farming, tho.

Not sure which one was the worst. Probably Luclin. The armor quests sucked so badly, and the rollout was so buggy.

pfft, I'm almost always right! =p

or rather, I tend not to argue the point when I'm not positive I'm correct.

well, we already knew you were weird...

Bah Tacvi is still farged up sure really nice drops but for all the effort "trash mobs" from hell the payoff is fugly. Best part about GoD is the one zone people actually hunt in Natimbi for the 30-40 crowd. Progression missions no one messes with anymore as their is no point better gear had for way easier in lots of expansion. Zone names that are totally uncreative. Tipt is still done but only cause its required. Its pretty much whatever it takes to gear up thru Tunat and move on, rest of the content Epic raid here and there. LoY at least gave me bank space, from God I got....hmm pre OoW can only think of the ablity to solo in Vxed as an advantage and post less then that.

LoY I have 3 zones that get actual use by 4x the population of Natimbi the 1 zone people actual use, really how many people Experience thru GoD vs LoY of Dulak, Gunthak, NAdox. LoY also meshes with the fantasy world way better then the oops lets toss some stuff on mix of GoD. LoY I get Goonies revisted and to play with pirates, and I like all the pirate models cept the gnome (that one is buggy and never looks like it is attacking). The audience to be honest is 90-95% male and I love the eruidite, dark elf, hell even the female troll in Dulak.

So to sum it up high end your better off with other stuff besides GoD, and if you actually play to have fun or exp or are not uber your better off with LoY. No LoY has no high end content but it helps add to the immersiveness of the world and gave you bank slots. GoD gave you bugs up the wazoo, an end zone they didnt think out or even put in place and try and fix til like 8 months later and the ability to beat it like 7 months after it was released cause whoops Tunat was too hard and you needed the spells and levels of OoW to have a chance.

If we take it thru to today we still find people enjoying themselves in LoY thru alts or experience groups. GoD we find oh Mshas up, oh raid, oh epic help have to do something stupid in some stupid zone in GoD.

Not that I think OoW fits any better with the Lore and such of EQ but the content at least is 500% better.

It is great loot but really GoD is boiled down to Tacvi (well and the Mshas), at least with say PoP you cant say the only place worth a crap to play is Time.

tacvi and qvic are the gearing zones of god.. just like fire and time are the gearing zones of pop. I mean, how many raid guilds farmed gear anywhere besides fire/pop?

both expansions had lower end content too.. although, god's gear, great as it was for singlegroup stuff/effort at the time, was admittedly outpaced faster.

but - very few people group in PoP, outside of pretty much pofire, and povalor for the lower crowd. face it - when you create a group to xp in pop nowadays, you aren't going there for the exp or for the loot, but more the nostalgia/neatness factor. more people xp in pop than god - still - but, imo, that has a lot more to do with the initial impression of the expansion than the actual expansions themselves.
