If what I am reading in this thread is true, I'm very disappointed in verant. I was excited at the prospect of rogue being desireable in a group. Apparently, sony has given casters the ability to open locks and sense/disarm traps. These three skills are something the rogue class was promised at the inception of Everquest. As my fellow rogues know that didn't come to fruition. The skills are basically unused. Until LDON that is. Now I am reading that once again rogues are getting the shaft. Sad really. I pulled my rogue out of retirement and starting working on my skills in preparation for LDON. I've always had problems finding a group with my rogue, and it looks to remain that way.
Now all the people who say stop whining. I ask you this- How would you feel if they handed a class defining ability to a large number of classes in the game. Ok give all melee/hybrids track. Rangers would be up in arms. Give all int casters clarity and mezzes. Give all casters CH. Watch how different it'll be for clerics who are looking for groups. Suddenly you don't have anything to offer that someone else doesn't.
Let's face if hide/sneak isn't something that is going to get you a group. And while backstab definately helps generate alot of DPS, it seems people forgo rogues for another tank who can take hits in case of problems.
Lost Dungeons of Norrath NDA Lifted
Here's the post from the official site:
"As of September 4th, the Non-Disclosure Agreement for the Lost Dungeons of Norrath Beta is no longer in effect, except that a beta participant's confidentiality obligation shall continue with respect to information concerning the beta program and all feedback and comments (whether from the participant, any other participant or from SOE employees)."
So I'll open this thread up for the LDoN beta participants to give their impressions of the expansion and also answer any questions the rest may have. Please post away.
