I've been a reader of this forum for a while now (while in Italy for school, forums are all I have since my apartment seems incapable of getting internet of my own) and while I have enjoyed a lot of the discussions, I have one question. Many people have asked for a second abj. set to surpass that of the 3 kings (and sky but mainly the 3 kings).
The question that's been circulating in my mind is what exactly would this upgraded abjs be like? I mean, honestly, how much stronger would people want "Koeing +1" (and I dont mean Kaiser ) and "Adamant +1" etc. to be?
They are already (arguable I guess) the most powerful armor sets in the game, but the question becomes, if they have been available for over two years, why hasn't there been an upgrade?
I guess the question I have to that is the same question many people have about raising the level cap: wouldn't that make so much of the game too easy? I mean, the original endgame (the birds and Serket and the Beastmen Kings) are already a joke, but endgame intended for level 60s should be a joke for 75s, yet Sky (for example) is still aimed at 75s, though perhaps not with the 200+ merits many people now have.
And I also understand the concept of a MMO endgame should be constantly increasing in difficulty, and said difficulty should increase in greater rewards. Please don't consider this question a defense of what CoP endgame has become (I find its execution as troubling as everyone else's) but I do find the concept to be a good one, ie CoP focused on all the other complimentary slots outside the 5 main body armor ones. They just aren't as good as they should be.
So, people have been suggesting things for the expansion (I liked that thread a lot when it doesn't derail into drama, despite the fun in that) and I just wonder how much of an upgrade for level 75 armor are people looking for? (Just looking at the body pieces for example.) If Koeing is +20 Vit and 60 HP and Adamant is +10 STR and DEX and +15 attack and acc, what do people expect from "Abj II" that wouldn't be considered "breaking the game" @ 75? That is the heart of my question. ^^
Anyway, you guys have been keeping my interest alive even if I can't play on my own, and oh yes. I <3 Xavier! Every time he posts he makes me smile!
