Malmo grps

[mastade]

sooo, how does it work these days?, i normally play hib/exc and i have heard that malmo is a bit like "the fins grp," with a list and all, but...

I need some details -

- I have heard that there is 2 grps running all day, one with a balanced high lvl grp and a 2nd grp with mixed lowbies, is this true? if so, what are the level range of the 2 grps?

- How do you get there lol?

- Is there any chance my lvl 40.5 healer can join these grps?

- For how long do ppl normally wait to get in the grp?

- At what time do these grps normally start?

Times

Before the "old" malmo stopped people used to exp in malmo from 7 or so untill 3 in the morning, all depending how many people that's up early/late etc.

 

[Cush]

It was untill patch 1.62.. It is no more

 

[mastade]

So you say they aren't there anymore?

 

[Sarnat]

Just were some groups there the other day. I havent been checking lately though. Was ~35 people in malmo.

And to answer your questions:

1) g1 is 45+ generally, g2 is 40+

2) trough the svartalf area E of the entrance. Get a map with directions drawn on it... plenty of them on the net

3) yes, even g1 if they are low on healers

4) anything from instant group to 8 hours, depending on time of the day and class. Healers have it a bit easier I think.

5) no idea now

This is how it was when I leveled my last char (1.60). Dunno if there are any steady groups nowadays.

That is pretty much right atm.. some ppl that are trying to start up the malmo engine again, only time will tell if they will succed

 

[Damon_D]

This is midgaar dude..we are nerfed every way Mythic found possible , possible the worst realm to xp in imho...

 

[pincer]

Was dead Saturday, Sunday and also tonight, hence suicided to try solo 46-50 :/

Shame, thought it was back up and running again.

 

[mastade]

Basically, when Mythic did the following (from 1.62 patch notes):

Epic Zones Revisited

In a continuing effort to revitalize under-utilized areas of the game, we have revisited the three zones that contain the original dragons. After evaluating all three, we are adding new AI for all the existing named mobs to increase the variety of encounters in the zone, and tweaking the Dartmoor and Sheeroe Hills zones so they will hopefully have as much appeal for players in those realms as Malmohus has for Midgard players. In order to do this, we have decreased the scout range of all scout mobs in each zone. This should allow players to navigate the zone easier and lower the chances of having mobs aggro from distances that are too far for players to deal with. We have also lowered the spawn times of some generators that were spawning faster than players were able to reliably deal with.

They fubarred Malmo so that it is now harder to get in and the main pull spot (the lair) now has a bunch more mobs within aggro range.

It's pretty inexplicable why they did this, but they did it.

 

[- Pathfinder -]

So Mids can't solo to lair anymore? QQ not like we've ever been able to do that ^^

 

[Virr]

I've been able to run from malmo entrance to lair solo the last few days.

And it works to exp in malmo, you just have to stand a bit closer to the lair then before to be safe.

Atleast it works, exped there 2 days last week.

 

[old.tuppe]

i run 2 time this weekend to lair solo, its dangerous like allways have been but whit care can do it.

there was friday nice bunch of peeps, but there never was that ammount what is needed for solid fills and xp.
saturday was 100 lvl 40-49 online, and only 20 in malmo.
some 49 was even spindel soloing huoh.

malmo is still xp spot, but look like, what heard, many give up after 1 wipeout!
many dont know route to lair, and give up.
malmo is hard sometimes but when have solid groups ->the win.

need just good base where fill peeps to open spots.

 

[Brunore]

the thing is with malmo, people got used to turning thier brain off and just pressing a key and let the xp roll in.

It got worse when pbaoe started to take over at lair, at least with MA pulling you had to think a little.

Now people are used to not thinking and when they have to they scream the place is too hard etc...

All people need to do is think about what they are doing.

 

[kloker]

Just ashame mythic added 90% resists to the mobs....
And some of them you can't even touch pb.

So thanks mythic for fucking up the one really good spot we hade at 40-50(DF not included since we dont have it at all times). Nowadays your more or less forced to use a BB to be able to lvl at all at a steady pace. Mythic should make it easier to solo, hence if it takes 10 times more time to lvl without a bb. They really screwed the solo pve imo.

kloker, Malmo works fine. Just as said, people can't be quite as lazy as they used to be. We proved this last week when we took some groups in and got down to figuring it all out. We had no shammies or area effect nukers. It was old school all the way bebeh

The only mobs with the 100% resist to various attacks are the named. This I do object to, because the items you get from the named beasties haven't been improved to reflect the effort of getting them.

Groups were pulling at the lair successfully last Thursday the whole day long without a single CFH. The thread with the details is lurking around somewhere if you want to hunt for it. (Its not without a certain irony I think that I was one of the few peeps that didn't actually level there at all last Thursday with my healer )

Its still an easy place to level once you get there. I simply choose not to generally go there as it brings out the worst in a lot of people and I prefer to chill out and actually do things that have an element of risk rather than camping somewhere for 10 levels.

What I did like about peeps believing that they couldn't hunt in Malmo, was that it was easier to convince people to hunt other places I quite enjoy, like Vanern and Raumarik and the peeps that went along with me on these little jaunts I think had a good time as well as getting some decent xp.

Regarding bots I completely disagree - you don't *need* a bot to level, it just means you can switch off your social skills and effectively play a single player game. A few Feds have bots but these always get dumped when a group is in the offing, or they get sometimes tagged on the back if we are short of peeps and going somewhere dangerous. Unless I'm playing my healer, I have never needed a group to level with any of my toons but its always much nicer to have a group and friends to hunt with.

My belief is that Mythic have made some of the beasties around the realms harder because player characters are that much tougher now since the original release of the game, with things like spellcrafting and realm abilities. I dont have a problem generally with this, but I do think that the consequent reward for hunting beasties that have had their difficulty upped should be increased also.

 

[old.tuppe]

today there is again xp going.
why i like to go malmo?
its only place where you meet realm mates and see how they handle pressure

been there when in one hour was 3 total wipeouts, even sometimes 0 ressers and we wander back from galpien.
but suddenly after 1 hours wipeouts? and some leaved because poor xp, we started chainpull mobs and xp was avesome + 0 wipe outs and rare deads.

need patience, be nice and learn how to communicate whit groupfriends.

 

[Suedish]

I'll be doing Malmo tonight aswell, gonna be fun

 

[kloker]

So basically what your saying Roo is that I can't lvl my sm, nor casters?

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Not at all. We just didn't have the luxury of nice nukes and regen last week. It still worked. It just would have been better with more casters around. Actually, there was a shortage of casters the whole day and even the bonedancers we had weren't quite high enough to tank the draks for us.

Take your toon to Malmo, if you can get in past the beasties, you'll level.

One thing to bear in mind is that once peeps are aware its working again you can sometimes spend a whole day on the list.
I personally prefer proper hunt groups generally. Each of my toons has done a few levels in Malmo, though only one or two each. My tolerance for the way people behave there is very low.

I thoroughly intend to go there at lvl47 or so because I've done main mez with my SM, I want to see what its like as a healer with a mez and tank group so I can compare. Might have to be in-guild for that as mostly Malmo is pbae these days

 

[jammin0o]

Are there steady groups going there now, all you need to do is actually get your char into xp zone?
if so i will just log my healer there and add myself to list
