Withrin event

[Friznit]

To GOA (aka Gimps on acid)

You realy are a bunch of idiots. Do you want new player to start playing this game? The Event (what a joke) at Caer Withrin has put atleast one new player off the game. I met him breifly @ the Retreat lifestone and he said won't be returning. I tried to convince him that the insta death there and 1fps lag was just an event put on by someone who don't think to well but he wasn't impressed.

Next time you do the "it's kill everyone and is only for lvl 50's" event don't put it in a starter location you muppets.

first peeps complain that GOA neeeeever does anything and the event neeeeeeever comes, Then when the event comes peeps starts to comlain that ooooh its so haaaard, ooooh its so laggy, oooooh i got a bad graphcard/comp so i cant handle the framerate. Well i think the events r exelent. Much funnier that it happends in our own backyard then far out in the frontier. It makes peeps think and organize patrols in the heat. They could maby have placed it at swanton keep but where would the intruders come from? an ufo landing in barfog? A landing party with geeshas is an exelent idea if you ask me=)

 

[thucram]

Yeah , now ppl started complaining aswell this ivent was a joke cozz its easy, check caer withrin now ;-D

 

[Vorcyn]

Sigh, one thing, its Caer Witrin, no h, the least you could do if your going to go on about it, is to spell it right.

Erm , if its 50 only, why are there so many Greycons for lvl 40 with the geershas aswell ? ;-D

I didn't realise a level 15-20 area was 'starter'

oh wait everything below 50 is 'starter' to some

think he means Adribalds Retreat

but its his own fault if he wanders all the way up to withrin

 

[Flimgoblin]

heh surprised he wasn't eaten by wolves on the way

 

[old.Second]

maby he was smart enought to follow road or maby he was running after the zerg and attacked an enraged geersha

 

[Glottis_Xanadu]

And besides, lowbies would not be killed, as the only reason the purple con mobs would even get to the lowbie zone is due to high lvl's bringing them back...
Although I find the timing a bid bad... we have to wait till tonight to clean it up.. we got pretty far, there are 2 purple con mobs, tough, in the keep. Killed one, but it respawned 30 minutes later.
Another little fault is some mobs are causing xp deaths to the players. This would not happen GOA said.
Check out the screens below

cooool

they've actually claimed the thing nice

 

[Sibanac]

Yeh i got 2 xp deaths there, complained on right-some-time-next-year, no reply yet ofcourse

edit : just got a response

from what they saying it seems only the main event mobs dot get you xp loss

 

[Treniel-]

theres 4 purple mobs 2 Ottars and 2 more that are 'spawning the mobs' we were doing quite well alot of mobs dead etc and 2 named then about 20 odd strangers (orange-red con) came and wasted us...the big big boss hakrashas or whatever hes called was with them to. Great fun though

 

[Friznit]

Hmmm

I like the event. I was there with my 43 Mincer but i think it's placing is dumb.

For the lvl50 only comment insert /sacasum for the hard of thinking.

Yes I know I can't spell and how very anal of you to point it out.

No retreat is not safe as higher level players are running there to escape dieing and leaving the mobs there.

GOA STILL havn't done many events. this is a step (an teeny one) in the right diection though.

That noob dieing happens all the time? killed by the same 4-5 purp con's to me (43) on the bridge to retreat? don't remeber that when I started.

So any comments that ain't flames or that all BW do now?

 

[Cowled]

ANOYING they run to cornwall, and kill us crafters!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

DIE GOA DIE!

 

[Aule Valar]

YEEP is my main comment, joined in one attack on the keep before i had to log, watched a nanemd stranger whipe out the entire attack force, laughing off all attacks as he did, was really rather hard, seemed to have a dot damage sheild too
overall a good event, and i like the way that the gesshas and stranges are only working together and showing their symbol once they make a major push

Typical Cowled to be concerned about the rest of Albion...

Hang on to the 20p you made with crafting.. do not invest in relic doors, etc...

Just for info, The strangers ARE running about nooby lev 1 starter areas. At 3am I saw some outside ardibards and earlier met a group of them in camp forest..


Nice to have an event but even at 31 I was being 1 hit by the mobs lol But then im a Sorceress. Truth is GoA really dont think of how these things effect lower levs, an example is Sprag den in hib, the major lev 20+ exp zone. It actually got to the stage in there that the high levs decided it made a great 40+ dungion so why kill the event mob

 

[Hit ^_^]

probeply old news but you aint suppose to exp die on these
event mobs.

sofar i think the event has been realy cool.
only thing that its a big sucky is that we now have a pvp server wich i spend most of my time on so ive missed some of the event.

ps:if you complain about Goa putting mobs at "low lvl" areas.
you sould have seen the end event in the beta.
they had put Loads of lvl20 and 25+ mobs all over albion.(and the other realms aswell i think) and last night they put a deamon lvl50ish deamon or something like it.(highest peeps was about 38-40)in cotswold.

I have already donated money for relic-doors, keep-doors, given donations to bazaar, trying to arrange christmas-craft + i got some of the cheapest prices in albion, when it comes to fletch!

Could you please leave me alone?
And no i don't have 20p, cos IF i had, i would stop making hinges out of 23904820934 helms, from DF, and wait for spellcraft.. but i DON'T!

 

[zlair]

Yea, fine event.... Hard but still cool!

lol, and cowled... the best msg i got was in alliance chat when ppl went like : 'LOL, they killed all crafters at CwS'

damn must have been sooo funny... sitting, lokking into wall when suddenly 20+ geeshas (or whatever) brakes down the walls

GOA nice event! Hard, but better than nothing!

PS. Some1 said this was an lvl50 event, some say it wasn't. I must agree that the event was mostly lvl50, cuz of many high mobs, but that's the way it has to be.... imagine an event for lvl 10-20.... 70+ lvl50 will come and ruin the fun, cuz they r bored, and later will say shit like : 'GOA too easy event, fookers' <sigh> Im happy to notice, that since we got no xp/gold/rp high as well as low lvl ppl joined in grps and co-operated! Was also a gr8 chance to advice newer ppl to the game, whom many never meet, cuz we have like 4 lvl 40+ chars on our account.

There are other places to xp you know

"We want events"

"We want events over there... not near me... please don't interrupt my game."

The realm-death thing makes it a bit less naff on the low levels - means they can actually join in without fear of losing all their xp that level.

 

[old.LandShark]

Lmao @ the guy who quit the game because he died at lvl1 to an event.
And as for the 1fps lag, why didn't you warn him that's what RvR in this game consists of? :>

 

[-Wedge-]

Well, no way that the Geersha where 'dragged' to Arb's Retreat... They came there all by their lonesome...

Most of the time though, if you didnt attack them, they didnt attack you either... (at/near the retreat)

Just a tip, dont AE root 20-40 of them... They tend to get angry and hunt you down...

One Eye'd (or what ever he's called) is freaking easy... We got him down to 50% with 6 people (without a cleric)... He hits pretty hard though (smacked a 50 paladin down in 4-5ish hits)...

Heard the other guy standing next to him (on the roof of Withrin) is harder... I was supprised the first time we had a 'major' event (at tepok) when so many people came... But when I logged on last nite, almost no one was there (well, just enough to fill 1 or 2 group)....

None of the mobs that killed me btw, gave XP loss... At least not the times that I actually looked at my death message, the event mobs are just like 'realm guards'... Cant have the same effect within a minute, die fighting your realm, bla bla bla...

From last Friday's mini-news -


Events and experience loss

We just want to clear some points about the news done some week ago :
Overall, when a situation is REALLY dangerous (like the last Geersha attacks), you will not lose any experience and will not gain any either. For smaller encounters (new spawns, smaller events, etc..) you may gain and lose experience as usual when dealing with monsters.
However, keep in mind that sometimes, these two kind of monsters can be mixed and that, while your friend just next to you did not lose experience when 100 geershas trampled him, you may lose some when they trampled you, simply because in these 100 geershas, some were regular monsters. There is no guarantee one way or the other.


Personally I think that's a silly way to handle it, lower level folks are still worried by the risk of a major xp loss (and for those who can't play often, losing a chunk of the xp when you are in the high 40s levels is a serious pain!), but at least they told us....

they weren't giving xp death last night - methinks they fixed them

make the event a whole lot better if you know you can fight without losing lots of xp (unless you get chased into a pack of moor wolves or something at low level)
