Ok my guild farmed 1.81 scrolls. Read :]

[Lejemorder]

Hmm been playing on US servers a bit now. and checked multiple ME's.. but Lovestory 3o3 is still expensive.. and like GoV 8p?? think he/she keeps it in reserve tho.. as unactivated arti's are not much of use anymore =]

and i've also noticed they have uber emotes

/rofl /lookfar /doh /mememe (ie: Pick me! jump up and down with your hand in the air )


realy cool =]

and ofcourse allot more stuff we dont have

Horses look /wub.. dye'd arti's look wub.. Champion weapons look /wub (tho most use arti's there)..

crap loads of ppl with Elder title (4+ year old account)
and Frontier Champion (if i remember correctly) for being CL5

and ofc. a pack of Dragon Foe's (10x dragon slaying)


just that i SOOO hate playing without /level 20 but hey ;>

also a cool thing is that porting in and out of zones takes less then 3secs :O

dunno how its possible. but its allot faster than here

and ofc abit more of roleplay (npc tent camps in classic zone(s)

/point /rofl ftw =]


and on merlin theres rvr action like 24/7. lots of ppl online. (so its not realy a place to find 1vs1 )
nice ppl.. and for some reason the cliprange on US servers has increased?

cant believe i could see Dun Ailline Watchtower from DL @ Excalibur/Prydwen..

Oh well

/end of hugging US servers :>
---
last thing.. MXN ui has some bug @ US server (styles got reorganized. so couldnt drag them back to the quickbar after removing them)..
/appeal... 8GM's online. watching over pretty much all servers. and got helped in like 4mins.. something GoA hasn't realy heard of

its King's Champion for CL5 and the best scourge of realm, 25k kills from that realm

no it means MLs wont take Half as long because your not begging folk to pick up loot all the fecking time.

6 months it took us to equip our group thats 8 hours a week , you think 6 months is a good feature that is 1 character fully equiped and with at least 6 bubs into level 50 before they all hit lvl 10 ?

im sorry but i actually want to turn my heretic/valkyrie/vampire/warlock/healer/ + any other alt i choose to level rvr active within a month or two at the most.

Artifact farming and Scroll whoring made the game very ME me me me me orientated no longer we going to see the "i camped for cloudsong and it was bum rushed from underneath me" because now there is no reason why folks just cant join a group.

Seem to me some people are not actually thinking this through and are instead going "omg toa is too easy". Thats a good thing means more new players wont be put off by the common answer about toa "yeah it takes about 2 weeks to hit 50 but your going to be farming toa for months"

i dont think it will make things easier in rvr as they havnt touched that but at least folks will go "hey i can get into rvr a lot easier than before yay \o/. " guild groups that want to change their setup or even start a new guild group wont think "naww we got our rr10 mains i cant be bothered with toa!

anywho looking forward im sure goa have sent emisaries to mythic to abduct some of their programmers so they can 1.81 activated asap

:worthy: :worthy: :worthy:
People who are saying its to easy obviously love the PVE aspect of the game far to much.
You kill xxx mob 300 times and get jack all apart from a bit of cash, wow. No thankyou.

Me, I've activated and levelled over 40 arties now and its taken a HUGE time sink. This patch can't come quickly enough if you ask me.

 

[Joohl]

ok I admit it sounds like they gone to far on this patch.
We still need enc thou for every arti you need. But why all so upset about this scroll change when endgame still is RVR and not the farming part to get there.
For a mostly solo guy that pve 95% of the time, this due to the hard to get items, I think this patch will push more and more peps into the PvP/RvR. that cant be bad since thats the real challenge right. If you want to farm stuff and thats it, theres like a bilion of other games where you can do that.

the only real sad part is that some major farming raids that we got on mid|prydwen, like EC SJ BZ will proly die out and for those who got a good mod and still no artie will lose there mod, lots of work with no reward .


Ohh and bout this.....

This NEEDS to be changed. ML's are now going to take twice as long, because you will have to stop every 30 seconds to shift-D your inventories.

/lootlevel 31
have groups sort that out, so not realy a problem on ML steps
well might be problem on ML4.2, omg how many mobs we kill on that step

I am refering to the patch as a whole.

For me, they are taking away a lot of things. The joy of finally getting that scroll ive been searching for. The joy of getting my artifact collection finished. The joy of having that special artifact, which doesnt belong to every single other person who just hit 46. Imo they added ToA, and now they are semi removing it again. Earning cash 4tl.

That joy dissapeared for me after the 4th toon I TOA'd. Now its just a drag and I rather farm cash and buy all the damned scrolls since its less timeconsuming. Perhaps they make it too easy, but rather too easy than the idiotic way it is pre1.81, Ive grinded in DAoC for years now, I'm just tired of it.

Your artifact collection finished? If I wanted one Id have one ages ago mate, havent you finished yours already in the 2 years TOA have been out?

And atm, people starting MLing at lvl40 already, they have artis at lvl 45+ and xp them on the way to lvl50. Unless they are totally new to the game, but.. how many of those do you see these days?

I dont get this, why are some trying to make it look like TOA actually is hard or an achievement today? It has been out for 2 years, everything in TOA has been done 1000 times already and 1000 times ontop of that. Most players have at least one ML10 toon, most players have a geared toon unless they are really casual players. TOAgear+MLs is a standard today, its nothing unique or special in any way. Some items are still rare-ish like shawl and erinys charm but those items can be counted on 2 hands, and most are drops, not artis.

If I put on rosetinted glasses and try to describe TOA in a romantic way then sure, TOA is a very hard challenge and you need to fight very hard to stand as a conquerer in the end with abilitys as a reward but.. the gray dull truth is that its a massive grind and nothing more than that, Mythic is speeding things up abit which is all good imo since alot of people simply found the grinding too much to cope with, those players might even return in 1.81 and ask yourself, what is better, to keep on grinding and pretend its something hard and challenging you are doing or if old players that hate the amount of PVE involved in TOA return to the game and liven up the servers alittle. I know which I find to be a better.

 

[Shike]

I think its a just reward when you finally get your first char to ml10, fully toaed and sced etc

Now its a piece of piss, taking away all the sense of achivement

I spent hours getting the little bits and pieces that make up my template and spent a good amount of money on it, now some guy who has just left his paladin/icer fop bot in PoC/AC can go and get every artifact he desires without no timing

Shit really.

Ok, hold a sec here.

Are you calling gettin a toon to ml10, with TOA an achievement? I know for sure that every single joe in a proper serious RVRgrp has done this, many of them have done it twice, if not three times, and some even more.

If you have half a brain you should by now have completed at least one toon and gotten it into RvR (if RVR is what you enjoy), if you wanted to you would have 2 toons RVRready without problems. If you really needed to you would have 3 toons ready, if you are a PvElover you would have 4 toons.. etc etc etc..

Something that has been out 2 years, explored inside and out, minmaxed to hell and back, are you seriosly trying to tell me that it is an achievement?

You say: I have spent 1000 hours on gettin my toon rdy for RVR, why is Daddy Mo here coming in as a new player and spend 100 hours and get the same goodies as I do.

I call your arguement one thing and that is selfish.

If you was thinking alittle wider, outside your little box you would realise that a new player in DAoC today has a HELL to get anywhere, he dont have anyone to lvl with, he dont have anyone to farm stuff with, he dont have cash to buy his armor, he dont have cash to buy his SC, etc.. Its hell to come into the game today since the game has evolved, making his life alittle easier so he doesnt get bored at ml2 with ml3, ls3, tarta3 missing is a good thing. But, ofc, it was hard for you so he doesnt deserve to get into the game on same condition as you. Right?

/bg lootlevel 40 perhaps ?

/rofl

 

[Himse]

its just <3!

 

[Falukropp]

Hrm, seems like the big problem post 1.81 will be to get the encounter instead :>

I mean, if you rolled a new toon now, and wanted to use erinys charm on it, then you still have to gather the needed zerg just to get the encounter. Gonna be hard since almost every caster already got the enc from the public mod raids, and the ones who haven't won the charm yet can just go collect one now. So now you have to get together a zerg that's in for it just to help you.

Loot needs to be picked up during ML's. Not only do you often need some of it for the following steps, but there's also static rare drops that people want.
There's a very big difference between farming for 10 hours and not getting your scroll drop, and getting 20 of them by killing 10 mobs. My point is that if scrolls are THAT easy to get, simply remove them from the game completely.

Your answer was simply not to pick up loot, if they have made it so picking up loot is now something no-one wants to do, why bother making the mob drop it in the first place?

 

[Awarkle]

Are you one of those who leave the game when it starts getting challenging?

No i was enjoying starwars galaxies it had depth it had reason to be played it was reasonably fun. The NGE (not good enough) expansion ruined basically everything that made SWG unique. Why pay money to play swg when you can play battlefront 2 for free.

And nope i dont leave a game i like a challenge and i think my guild can attest to that doing all our artifacts without the use of a ml9 pet. Also we farmed all our own drops / artis / items (morai farming for over 10 weeks ) so no i dont leave a game when it gets challenging, i leave a game when it becomes pointless to play due to bugs/crashes/random server down time/the deleting of the class i was actually playing/the reason to actually craft (no degredation and drops being better than crafted)

anywho i like the look of this patch it will mean i can get classes that probbly would never actually get a group in a standard bot + ml9 pet farming group aka my valkyrie actually equiped. Either way i would rather people picked up loot on ml raids and generally my rules are that whoever killed the mob gets the scroll but named loot goes to me.

 

[wittor]

Hmm been playing on US servers a bit now. and checked multiple ME's.. but Lovestory 3o3 is still expensive.. and like GoV 8p?? think he/she keeps it in reserve tho.. as unactivated arti's are not much of use anymore =]

Yes atm its still pretty high on ME's. But remember the patch is just live , so i'll give it a week or 2 and the price will be low ( some scrolls dropped in price today ) since then there are more scrolls farmed etc

 

[SoulFly]

The game gets suckier after every patch.

 

[Elkie]

Never regreted moving to usa now its just fantastic chim get ready for us to beat u for rp's per week

My question wasn't pointed at SWG, I've never played it. It was pointed at this:

at the moment i would say that rvr favours the rr10 groups far more than a solo rr1 peeps. Which is sort of fair but if that rr1 peep can never actually kill anyone then they will get pretty bored and leave.

That's why I asked: "Are you one of those who leave the game when it starts getting challenging?", and it wasn't only pointed at you, Awarkle, it was also pointed at you, who read this. I'm not expecting you to answer it to me, just think about it.
