100 Hours! Mayday! Would Brad McQuaid Approve this?

[Xyyth]

Group mob exp is imbalanced. Each level should have a lot of white and blue mobs to kill solo. It doesn’t. Leveling is unacceptably too slow.

Joppa explained all this in a stream yesterday.

I think Brad would be happy his game is moving forward and would be very pleased with all the success it's getting. It's doing well. No way around that. Making a new peak of players every hour today.

[Xyyth]

Maybe but he did a lot of the lore for EQ. This game needs a lot of content.

[Lord Bullingdon]

It's not full release and it has plenty of content. It just doesn't lay everything out for you. You have to go find it yourself. Thronefast alone is stacked with an obscene amount of things to do that I'm still wandering into new places there.

So you have gone from moaning about the slow levelling (which is purposely designed that way and why so many people love it), to then turning it to a whine about a lack of content in an EA game, behave now , don't like it don't play simples.

Heck, it isn't even slow leveling. Imagine how loud they would scream if they played many of the original MMOs, or had to deal with EQ's hell levels. I think they would pop their gord.

slow leveling is okay if the combat is fun. here the combat is not fun or rewarding. the only class that felt impactful was the wizard. everything else feels too similar to each other. its just not fun

"Impactful" is not a useful descriptor, it implies nothing. I played the Shaman and boy howdy, did everything feel hard hitting. Had a little nuke combo, but also a nice balancing act between mana and HP regen. Plus TWO ranged finishers. Is that "impactful?"

Please explain how they are all similar? What level did you play up on them?

I find not only are the classes varied in different abilities and focus, but at first I thought they were all "EQ" like classes, but once I started playing them up the levels I realized that some core aspects might be similar, but they play very differently .

I camped for over a day in Lower-Guk waiting for J-Boots to Spawn.,

If I remember right, J-Boots were in Najena at launch weren't they, then they made the quest line with the Ancient Cyclops for them.

Wasn't it the mask that dropped in Lower-guk off the assassin everyone wanted because of the dark Elf illusion, but then ended up changing it to rogue only I think?

been a while.

Lower guk was assassin spawn, dropped the DE mask, eventually nerfed in Kunark to be brd/rog only.

Najena was the original spawn to Jboots before AC.

He could be thinking of the Efreeti boots in solB...

I LOVED Old Sebilis! But then, I was an Enchie. The random pick up groups I had there were phenomenal. Mostly, there were also some spectacular car crashes. Those were the days....

I spent two weeks one night camping the damned Ancient cyclops, for my wife! I was a druid for pity sake, and had no use for the silly things.
