Not many ppl will get 50 quick soon.....

[old.mattshanes]

Well autos are not in the next patch i am afraid.

Oh and by the way legion is harder

 

[old.Gombur Glodson]

Better hurry up and lvl then

 

[SFXman]

Hmm, interesting... I haven't been to the pygmy's since the patch where they got bombardiers and such but aren't they a lot harder to power-level from these days?
I remember when I levelled from like 31-35 in a day from those... np at all.

No autos, hmph... yeah well... one monsters group bonus not there, well then again. You do mean that sort-of auto... right...

 

[krait]

I sympathise with any scouts who have to xp still......with the fast healing of mobs there will be no more kiting kills (I spent half my time running away while soloing )
Oh well,scouts could try grouping to get xp.

 

[ivan_tribbiani]

OMG when is the patch due in ? Hope it aint till October cause if it is im buggerred. Im still 39 and wont be able to play before october .... AAAAAAHHHHHHH !!!!! It will take meh bloody ages to level.

 

[old.mattshanes]

Very very soon maybe the start of next week.I been right all the times so far on patch releases so take my word for it

 

[Ozwaldo]

Maybe the Frenzied Feeders in Llyn Barfog could be a good alternative for xping. Ive heard somewhere in some patch notes these are to become more plentiful and more aggressive. There is a few camps of these so camp bonus could be constant, the drops from these are pretty good along with the frogs near by and the hill top scenary overlooking the barfog lake is fantastic

End of autoing will harm the 30's-40's more than anyone, no more normal gobbos so fast. The only worthwhile auto post 40 is trees, can just exp in DF or do tanglers. I suspect 1.50 = powerlevelling time.

 

[rhin]

what are autos?

 

[old.Gombur Glodson]

if you kill pull a group of goblins you kill all the goblin except one who you only get down to minimum health. Then you stun it, back off a bit and the goblin runs back to the camp spot and now the goblins come down automaticly (hence the word auto) and you dont have to pull.

Tanglers is going to mean small groups and there aren;t enough spots for that.
DF is ok, but it's a lot riskier than tree autos.

 

[DocWolfe]

stonelord autos = fun

 

[Yussef]

Would be very interesting to auto two opposing factions of mobs

Imagine 3 mobs coming from 2 directions charge at you but suddenly stop and attack each other, 1 aoe, voila, mega exp muahahahaha

Here's a more "amusing" definition of Auto.

You send forth your scout or armsman to attract the attention of a small horde of pygmy goblins.

Goblin A gets struck by a bolt... "WTF?!? Oi! Someone just shot me! GANK HIM!!!"
Goblin B, C and D are bored and figure, "Hey, what the hell, I want some RP."

Goblin A dies shortly after arriving while B, C, and D have to watch while mezzed "^%)**&$$£%^)£(%£" Fekking MEZZED AGAIN!!!! FFS!!!!"

Goblin C gets shot by the scout and runs off with B and D shouting "Get the mezzer!!!! Gank the healer!!!"

Goblin C dies and morale is now low with B and D.

Mezz ends and B&D decide to gang up on the mezzer, but alas, B is mezzed again "Ahh FFS! Chain mezz!! NERF SORCS!!!" and watches sadly as D dies valiantly. B then gets assaulted and watches as he prowess drives off the horde leaving him in a close battle with one attacker, then suddenly "WTF!?!? CHAIN-STUN!! NERF CLERICS!!!" "Just wait till I get my buddies you mofo's!!"

Pygmy B then turns and scampers back to the spawn area where the tail continues,

"Guys! Guys! ALBS!!!!"
"How many?"
"Fekking lots!!"
"Send a scout"
...
...
scout doesn't return.
"Ok, send some more."
B- "Plz guys, heal plz!"
B- "plz, someone help me!!!!"
B- "FFS, why is there never a healer around when you need one?"
"Anyone got buffs for Pygmy H?"
B- "Have at 'em lads!"
"Um, the last 8 haven't returned..."
B- "Don't worry, we'll get them yet!"
"FFS, we're not helping you anymore, SPY!!!"
B- "Fine, I'll take care of this myself."

B returns screaming battlecries 'n all and dies.

Hahaha, nice one, except mostly minstrels do all the CC (mez/stun) for autos due to the lack of sorcs in albion (and when they are around they're off soloing tangler pulls and the like).

WTF? Where did you see a minstrel doing CC? And is it still there? I wanna take a screeny. Geez, a minstrel that doesn't have a drum glued to their hand...now that's something I'd like to see.

[Danya]

I am that minstrel. Fear me, for I CC!

Having said that I have seen minstrels sat powersonging while they use a wizard to root as "CC".

Root is not CC damnit!

Or ... Minstrel / Theurg combo for really effective CC.

Theurg AoE roots and Minstrel goes round mezzing the little blighters.

Linnet and I have done this on many, many mobs.

That said, Linnet is such a damn good CC minstrel that I usualy just sit on arse watching <grin>

[old.Jadow]

Brannor, you're an arrogant prick who generally annoys me and sticks his nose in things which don't concern him...

But that was funny.

Well done. I'm guessing it was someone elses work?

Look at the time you posted that? I don't read the BW forums at night unless the servers are down, and I don't have other games to play. Also, it's morning now, so I don't have time to deal with a snivelling git who rates himself according to how well he can stab one person amongst all his friends.
