NQ/HQ raid gear

[ESAR]

So I was just trying to think of a way to make raids more enjoyable for more casual players.

I thought, what if you had two sets of gear per raid something like a NQ and HQ.

-NQ would have a much higher droprate, not look as cool and lower stats (but similar stats)
-HQ would be like the darklight of gear.

This way, you could aim at the NQ set and get that in a fairly short time, while the HQ would be more of a long term goal.

Fights like this appeal to more then one category of player.

Casual (once a week aiming for the NQ)
Hardcore (going hard for the HQ)

Even if you could only dedicate a short time to the raid, there'd be a reward in it for you.
Content would reach more players.

Looking at darklight, the NQ could be the same gear without the red symbols and look less dangerous.

^^ what he said

[Sigmakan]

Isnt that what the green drops are?

[ESAR]

Kinda, they're more like the default drop. And they can be sold, so you never actually have to participate in the raid to obtain em.

Plus they don't really even share the same stat design as the darklight.

I mean like darklight with lower stats.

A reason for more casual players to even attempt the raid.

What's the point for me really now, I own all the stuff you can buy and I want darklight but know I can never invest that kinda time.
Something to get me in there, give me a reason to do the raid.

I'd imagine they couldn't add something like this in now, but maybe they could with future raids.

I like the idea.

Maybe something like.

Heavy Darklight Armor: Def 308 HP+160 Vit+20 Eva-20 Meva +10 Regen +5 Enmity +45

Heavy Example? Armor: Def 268 HP+120 Vit+15 Eva-15 Meva+ 5 Regen +2 Enmity +30

Could use a simpler Darklight design or the same and be a much more common loot.

this is what I meant exactly.

and yeah they're gonna have an easy and a hard mode. but really they need more of a way to please both casual and hardcore with the same content imo.

I'm not gonna only wanna play easy content just because I don't have time. I'll wanna play the hard mode too. i just think it be nice to have some rewards there for those that don't have stellar time such as myself.

I like the idea, but stat is way too close to each other, has to be somewhat worse so hard mdoe actually worth the effort.

There you go. Fixed^^
