Your opinion please.......

[szleynix]

hehe, CF is too full of ppl.

It means you nearly always end-up with a group of wide ranging lvls.

This is not a problem at all - so long as you have the right lvl ppl to hold the taunts.

Because CF is so full now, ppl expect that 4 fins also means 2 groups. But 4 fins with a group of 7 high lvls work perfectly, there last night.

We chose not to fill the last spot, coz we didn't want risk of pulling 4 fins. These fins are the hardest of the common XP spots in CF, we were consistantly getting 100m+ per pull each. The group stayed with the same dynamics (classes) for what must have been 9hrs - we didn't have a single death.

The very last group, was only a few of us and some others still in CF at 3am Moved to 3 fins on zonewall - 3Ws (47+), 2Bs(44+), NS(42), E(46). On first pull 50m+ for a solo fin. Need i say more?

When you have 2 groups, my XP would drop to 75m - so long as I was in the group with the uber chanter

If not - as is so often the case, coz you can't have 2 groups of various lvls at same spot - then my XP would drop even further to 45m per pull.

It always the Group Dynamics that matter most, if you don't have the right mix, you'll have problems. With the right mix, a high lvl group can easily take on a much lower lvl and have no XP loss at all.

Same true then for 2 groups, wrong dynamics, and 1 group will suffer - but plz remember if you can form a group of low-mid 40s on your own, then go and kil another fin spot or pooks. After the camp bonus goes, the only difference between 4 fins and 1-2fins or pook is risk!

Well, anywhere in the realm with bafing 60+ Mobs u can gain that exp and maybe some more. Try the guardians or the raven wraiths in Bog. But is it always easy to form a grp only consisted by lvl 46+ peeps? Are u having some serious downtime while waiting for another 6-7 people so u form a descent grp and go for the GREAT EXP? But while waiting for the UBER GROUP u think about joining some lower level grps so u gain ur exp while waiting and then what?

I ve been in Fins like a 46 lvl tank the last week and I love to be with lower level characters trying to form descent grps so everyone takes the exp he can have, never arguing but giving people to understand that we have to cordinate so we can have both fun and exp too. Exchanging enchanters/eldies, putting rangers leeching and everyone is cool and have fun. With level 40+ peeps exp is great for everyone..... 30M per fin x 3-4 fins = 90-120 M per pull. With 4 high level tanks at least u can be sure u won't die in any case.

CF is crowdy, you have to live with that, if we start putting stamps on ourselves and making seperation we will lose the game. We have to interact with everyone in the game so if u don't want to be in a difficult situation don't bother to join a grp. Go to Bog with some high level peeps and u will have the exp u want without being bothered to answer to everyone that asks to join ur grp. Camp there and keep the exp running with an uber grp without having to let down anyone.

I can't blame someone that wants the exp, also can't blame the lower lvl peeps that need to have some good exp too ( I know the feeling m8s I was lvl 43 for 3 weeks :-( ), but taking both druid and bard from the main grp to form ur own it is lame and more lame for the druid and the bard who accepted the offer. We all know that healer classes can be lower lvl in a grp but the next time i grp with u guys I will use my detaunt styles, believe me. CF is the poison for the Hibernia, is the only place in PvE that makes peeps argue, talking about exp places only, we have to change that and the best ones to do this are the higher levle peeps. Move ur fat asses on the Bog and let the lower ones try to pull a fin just for fun, then they will be back in bears and u will have made something for ur realm.

Back to my old slogan "I hate Fins"

aint this suppose to be in the albion forum?

 

[Mundokar]

Indeed sounds very much the same as Malmo. 2FG, FG1 47+, FG2 43+. The agro goes to group1. Group2 can leech away. Not brilliant xp in G2 but a steady flow of xp.

Some ppl seem to forget that a steady flow of xp is also very nice.

 

[Jonaldo]

Think I mentioned it earlier but in reply to Mundokar, I agree.. any xp is ok xp as long as it's going up and not down.

And remember! there's no xp like Guardians xp!

 

[old.Cher]

grrrrr still think the 16 person camping 3 finns is idiotic. watched it and partook of it sometimes. the exp is pretty bad and the downtime is worse. I'm trying to stay away from finns for this reason, but its hard to get make an exp group as a shade, since no one wants to risk there neck and exp to join u.

I hate finns more then anyone else. and i have only ever been in 5 finns groups.

think i should have listened to the guy who told me to leave cf as i was too low lvl to exp there....... and then took a similer lvl bard into his group later on that day..... thanks kostromale <or however its spelt>!!!

strange thing is he was in the next finn group i was in and seemed an okay guy and not some exp hungry twat.
see what CF does to people

off to cullen good luck all

I had much experience with that... either being in the group that got 8mil or the group that got 30mil.

But in the end, the xp really was better with 2 groups. it was fast nonstop killing... youd kill 20fins in same time as it took to kill 10 with 1 group. Yes maybe the xp was a bit better for one group, but it was still better than killing them with just 1 group.

The steady flow of xp is what great with 2 groups... dont be blinded by the possible high xp numbers pulling with 1 group.

Darkness falls legion/prince (mostly prince) is the best xp ever though, I made 2 levels on some 4 trips there... even in a bad group the xp bar was moving constantly, my first prince raid was like having sex, 6 bubles at lvl 46 in a hour or two. 6 bubles at fins took 10 hours something... I didnt even have to do much but follow the maingroup. I however feel sad for the little nightshades that never get into to the lvl50 groups the bastard high levels just dont want you in their fancy lvl50 groups... and then you get used as a scout in rvr with no rps either... hats off for the nighthshades, you all really should treat them a bit better, they are people with feelings to you know.

But still, prince raids is the true powerleveling, forget about fins, join the prince raids...

(ps. if doing fins with 2 groups turn off "important" messages in the info window and look at your xp bar every 15minutes, im sure it will be a lot more satisfying than arguing over stuff...)

hello
aye, the nostalgie of old times when ppl were gathering in Innis and leaving for these Bog , SH hunts
The only pb I see with Bog, it's filled with siabras, and, hehe, I really consider it a comfort having them netural factioned.
Their agro range is awasome and persistence in chasing a true virtue
Brrrr, I really hate this bugs

take care

S.

ps. let's bring old times back though? ppl come to Innis more often!!

 

[bone_idle]

Why do people want to be neutral to Siabras ?? ... Aint no Siabras in frontier so no aggro from them. Keel all monsters Siabras, banshees, Fins .... KILL 'EM ALL. I did and Bone is level 50 now .

The naked Hib

All the people who go straight from Corus to the forest and stay there till they ding 50... where do they get their armour and equipment from? I dont think I have got anything decent from regular CF camps. The only usable drops I can think of is cloth armour from the Formors and Grenchers, and the odd stout leather belt, but that isnt going to help much unless you smack the Fin round the head with it!

Cullen comes out on top again for the drops. Mage stuff from the archmagi, lvl 50 armour from the guardians, even the dulls drop blackscale. Gems from the BW's and harvesters of malign doom. Alright you can get better stuff in DF, but how often is that open long enough to get a group together for low 40's XP? And how often do Mids and Albs spoil the fun?

For the realm we should burn down the forest and dam the river! Get your wellies on and get back in the Bog!
