A little premature for a full on flame about it, but I have to admit to some worry.

The first few days of LDON, new info was steadily coming available for what you could buy at adventure merchants and for how much. Suddenly, at a cost of 1492, I am not seeing any new info coming out. And guild members with 1500 AP in a given camp are not seeing any new stuff beyond their price range.

There may be a great divide here, where the next tier of loot suddenly is much more expensive. I really hope so.

On the one hand, you look at the LDON gear and think, yah the best stuff should be drops from hard dungeons and raids. But then, are we going to be farming up bazillions of AP and have nothing to spend them on but the gear we are currently aware of?

Sure we could all buy 20 40 mana augments, and it would cost a bundle...but still...we are less than a week into the expansion.

Have we already tapped out the vendors and discovered all they have to sell us? IF so, I would say it is a really sad situation. No expansion should be that revealed in such a short time.

I don't really mind if really great stuff is nutty expensive...but if the best AP buyable gear I can buy is what I see already, I am pretty disappointed.

Well they could always add more "stuff" at a later point, it would not be that hard. It would just take a patch.

...but they definitely shouldn't need to. Certainly shouldn't be wondering about it this soon...

I'm left wondering if they didn't expect people to have 1492+ pts already...

Sorta like PoTime wasn't finished until months after release...

Still a good expansion tho =D

As said in another thread...

Nope, I can't answer that. Some folks like to discover stuff on their own...

HEH! Funny replies. Anyway, I figure you give Trevize another day or two and he'll be able to answer this question for us.

Naw... I came here looking for info and posting what I knew. People decided to throw crap at me, so I'll just keep what I learn to myself. Go look at the safehouse or something. I'm sure it will get posted there. Druids grove isn't about sharing info anymore, instead we flame those trying to figire stuff out.

Later.

When has an expansion ever been <em>done</em> on release?

...there is a faction issue that no one has resolved yet. Maybe you can unlock more stuff at a certain faction level in a given camp. Or maybe completing a certain number of raids lets you get the next level...

Or maybe it is pure numbers like I hinted earlier. ie, you normally can see items that are about 300-400 higher in AP than you actually have. Perhaps the next item level after 1492 is oh 5,000, and no one is high enough to see the loot yet.

Time will tell. I hope there is more to it, because I looked back and see that the 40mana augment only works in 5 or so slots. The rest would have to be the 20hp/20mana ones.

Can't sneeze at an extra 600 or so mana I suppose, but still....

Or maybe some items have to be quested. There are a couple of NO DROP LORE rare items that dropped which nobody knows what they are for. I'm guessing Vengeance of Tunare is one such quest since so far no one has found the scroll on any adventure merchants.

It's just a couple of folks that seem to expell methane out their orifices around fire sources. Ignore 'em.

Sorry Trev, I read that whole thread and can not even udnerstand what sets some people off. People are jealous that you reached that level so fast and decided to flame you.

I maybe get an Adventure a day in on a good day and I have like 400pts, it is pretty easy to see how someone could pass 1492 or whatever the number was.
