I got to the end and wanted to say a few thoughts on this one. Story wise I like it. I like the random items. I like the gear you can get is pretty strong and is helpful for people that can not get better gear because of the mass of requirements to get better gear. It's quests follow the same plot holes that the game its self does like why do I need to hunt a new pick every time. We know we are attacking a huge ship why do we keep refusing to take bolts. Why do we not fix the hole in the gold room. but those I can pass easy.
What I think is a problem is getting the gear. Not only can the quest tell us we need to run a dungeon that can be locked to us (because gear score or what ever.) we have to do it in privet and we have to have ironman (one dies we lose) and minimum gear score (massive power drop) getting 1 scroll but you need around 10 to buy the set.
I thought of something else I should add that I think is a good point. AQI is a level 15 campaign made for new players with gear made for mid level 70s only really obtainable by a party of overpowered level 70s with end game gear. That does not make a lot of sense.
Me and my guild mates was talking and we got to ideas on this campaign. One thing we was all agreed on is the refining gem you get after the heart mission was disappointing. We had many ideas but the one most of us agreed on was rather then a refining stone make it a rank 1 enchantment. Rank 1 because it is a pretty strong one but it also fits because of how little the leader seems to care about your help. As for why an enchantment it just makes more sense because you are cutting it's power up and by cutting it so bad it is only worth points makes me rather have the option to go "It's odd that statue only had one eye. Guess only 1 stone this week ya ****." Most of the time I don't want to steal as the people all ways have a point why they are ripping me off (shadar does not trust us. Icewind has little. The well has to take it first. river district has to desover it first. ect) but the leader of AI just makes me want to floss his ribs with my great blade and just take stuff because his only reason seems to be "But I want it more and since I want it more I get it so give me it and take this lesser gift because me."
And as a side on the leaders I really only hate the one. Walnut I rarely talk with and she never screws us and Jim is at least funny so I can forgive it from him. but Omin just treats you like the useless throw away he can cheat and steal. I would be fully ok with how he acts and be far more ok with the campaign if not for how he treats us AND giving us no reason to want to help him. Helping him is like taking a boulder up a hill for him to give you an empty water bottle then say you have to fight a dragon in lava so you can earn the right to pay him to simi care about half filling it when he feels like it. Even the "good" armor at the end you have to go threw hell to get and he seems shocked and all most upset you want to turn in his I.O.Us as he is giving you "Armor we was just going to throw away." once again him telling the player you are not even worth his trash without going threw hell he signed you up for because he wants to show off.

It is nice to not have a play-and-forget campaign. While I dislike the basement and never want to go back, I do like that there is content for everyone in the game from level 15 to maxed-toons.
I do wish the content wasn't so boring. I'm not sure what makes it "boring", but I just don't want to do it. K-Team is pretty fun, as it does level out everyone in the dungeon. I've been so OP for so long, I kinda forgot how to "play" some content. Its nice to have that looming over me. The gear isn't worth it, and I run K-Team for fun.
K-team is at least fun and at times challenging.
Primal gear is easy to get and what I'm still running on some. Vistani gear is easy to get (not that I recommend it). Hunt gear is mostly easy to get.
The AI gear wasn't intended to be easy hence it being locked behind the "hardest" content. And it's quite honestly garbage compared to other pieces from Omu/Barovia hunts.
But if you really need to get AI gear then I suggest you take advantage of the easier dungeon versions. Tong was a pain. CR was a skip as far as I was concerned. Every other dungeon has been easy so far with the right setup.
If you look at the stat totals, and item level I'm sure the devs believe the gear is endgame gear. So again, it's not meant for fresh 70s to jump right into and get.
And you also missed my last point which was almost every single K dungeon is easily doable on non-BiS characters. It's not something that can't be done very easily. On XB1, we got valindra's this week and i've completed it on 6 characters already and 4 of those are scrubby alts that at best have Primal gear and maybe rank 7 enchants.
Would I ever attempt CR with those toons? Heck no. But there are many easy K dungeons to take advantage of.
Given the choice between gathering acorns or wasting time in the workshop -
workshop it is.
Maybe try a different group setup and you would be able to run it pretty much every week.
If someone needs the AI gear they have to go threw the hardest most brutal dungeons with the meanest settings souly relying on the fact the team can carry them or be all ready so over powered the gear is trival for a chance at 1 scroll and you need 16 to get the full set. This is ignoring the massive flaw that at any point a dungeon you can't do because gear is too low, not unlocked, ect is put in for that week ultimately saying "Can't do it? Oh well screw off then." to the player.
Let me put it this way there is a quest that is going out every week. This quest gives everyone 2000 zen every time it is done. I can get into everything easy but you maybe can do 2-3 of them thus you lose your chance that week at getting zen putting you back and when you bring this up I come in and go "Well it is easy you just need the right team and you can do it." completely ignoring you every time you say some missions are locked to you and you get screwed over from it because you don't have the zen to get better to get there but then I just say "Well it is hard for the fresh meat out the gate at 70." ignoring how strong you are. Now in less you have a response to this clear massive unignorable bolder of a problem we can't even began to find out how to work in away to make this set up work. And if so please stop committing the same comment over and over ignoring what people say.
Little effort, all reward is what it sounds like you want. You keep whining about your gear. I have similar gear on my toons and it's not an issue. So that leaves what? Skill level? Just keep whining that it's hard instead of finding a good solution like a better group comp.
Maybe Cryptic will institute a "hand out system" where you can stand in line and just ask for gear without doing anything.
Oh and if you're using specific pieces from Barovia/Chult you ALREADY most likely have what is best for your class instead of the trash sets from AI. But if you're chasing item level over good pieces that's all you. Enjoy the fails.
1. I don't want it easier I want everyone to have a fair shot not get left out in the cold because they can't run that week.
2. I don't want hand outs I want to work for it but I also want the reward to fit the task. To get that gear is the hardest in the game so it should be the best in slot for everyone and any class.
3. if you disagree with it tell me your counter points to it don't just fly past it. If you can't counter it then just say you can't don't show me you can't.
4. I don't have best in slot for my class just very great gear from those places.
5. I am trying to find a better solution moron. I post these to give the devs ideas to help and this is after I talk with most people in my guild and alliance about their ideas. I liked some of these things I brought up till the end game people that can do it easy told me how BS this was. I am trying to open an idea on these things and going "But mu campaign" Does not help.
6. yes you did miss it and from your logic you are 100% fine with neverwinter HAMSTER you out of zen.
2) Okay so what do you prefer? They keep the difficulty where it's at and make the gear a clear cut BiS option for classes? Well, then you still won't be completing it. Make it easier and keep the gear the trash it currently is? Then why run it for the gear?
3) Arguing against your viewpoint doesn't require a counterpoint. It's plainly obvious I have ZERO issue with k dungeons only being accessible to endgame players or those with sufficient skill to complete it. Your points all fold into 1...make it easy enough for everyone.
4) So why not spend your time getting BiS gear from those areas instead of chasing the higher item level gear that's worse for pretty much all classes? That would seem the more logical course.
5) You're trying to find a solution you like not a better one. You can sling insults all you want. That doesn't change a thing. You see, I use my arguments to prove a point. No need to call you moron. Everyone else will come to that conclusion on their own.
6) No ones HAMSTERING me out of zen because I'm not having issues completing anything. Where does zen even come into the equation? Yet another baseless claim.
If you were to look at my history you would see that I have always been a proponent of making normal and epic versions of all dungeons so that lower geared players could learn the ropes of harder content.
But K dungeons are FOR end game players specifically. You just want to complain that you can't get it done. And that's fine. GIve out your solutions. I've got a good solution. Spend some time running hunts in Chult/Barovia and get actual BiS gear. Then go run K dungeons.
But no you want to run in there with garbage gear and then complain it's hard. And unlike when you said you wouldn't respond any further, I'll mean it. I'm done with you. Kind of like the k dungeon runs you can't complete, I see no point.
You know what you are doing me a favor not wanting to talk to me anymore. Clearly you skip over everything I say with the magic of "nu uh" so it will be more helpful without that.
all new content should be like this. it worked very well in the past. underdark and stk should be considered hte last shining examples of this. it WORKED.
Sorry I know too far but when you got someone too good to thank you for your work actually working takes all the credit then thinks you only deserve trash for helping I tend to burn with rage.
