De Leveling...

[Dclanskie]

Greetings,
I would like to bring up an issue that i'm sure has already been talked about. I understand PvP Player versus Player, all fine and dandy. Twink a character some what so you're a more dangerous person to run into, again, that's all fine and dandy to. But lets be real here, to take say a ranger and level him to 60. Go through raids and the long brutal process of obtaining those awesome epics *Swiftwind and Earthcaller* i believe they're called. So now this ranger is just about done it all! feels great, strong and proud and more than equipped enough to give fellow 60s a great run for their money. NOPE! instead, lets throw all pride and honor out the effin window and go repeatedly die until he has reached the sweet 20s again. Then goes out and literally hunts down other level 20s to slaughter them. It's not PvP, that is straight up slaughter. The poor guy has a better chance of taking a hill giant by himself rather than fend off the epic geared ranger...

GMs, can nothing be done about this? It's an exploit, nothing short of cheating to go and ruin others gaming experience.

Just tonight i was on, grouped with my father (Cleric) my brother (mage) me being a druid. Exping having a great time when an epic geared ranger starts tearing me a new one. We all tried everything we could to take him down. After a while of trying we all ran out of mana and only got him to 80%. Had no choice but to zone and gate asap to get away from this guy who should be out partaking in lvl 60 pvp. Not out prancing around to purposely go grief other players.

[Drakaris]

Delevelling epiced and planar geared characters for pvp is considered griefing.

Pretty sure they used to eat bans.

[VictomEyez]

Exed is the only delvl ranger on the server

[Kergan]

Could be worse, back in the day you'd actually keep your skills at the same level when you deleveled. Good luck beating a level 20 epic fungus rogue when he has 200+ weapon skills and offense. :)

Hope this helps.

[Uuruk]

It's fine someone will log on his account and delete all his gear again.

[Tassador]

A de leveled epic ranger killed you once and you post a thread about it. Yeah rather have 60 pop then you crybaby pixel fucks holy shit.

[pgerman]

de leveling was even more over powered on live


You kept your attack and defense skills from the higher level. That was the way it was on live for a pretty long time.

So consider yourself lucky that's not the case here.

As far as an exploit goes. Nope.

[Tassador]

So a de leveled guy kills you once and you move two adjacent zones to level he becomes oor in like two days or less depending on your alotted play time.

Op is so basic it's not even funny.

[Tassador]

Omg not to get bent out of shape and on a tangent but this shitty thread took a turn for the worse when I read his dad and brother were in group. The whole fucking family seems basic, 1v1 checkers might be your thing.

[Seltius]

Good news is Earthcaller doesn't proc until what 50? I don't think it continues to proc once you delevel or you wouldn't have been zoning.

It does stink that this is possible but its part of the server hope they get bored and don't follow you. Stupid suggestion but its only way. That or level out of their range asap because they aren't going to level up just because you do. That is how and why they play the game and you just have to take the bad with the good sometimes.

One thing you will learn is don't let them know it bothers you if it does. Some people I have seen on this server get off on that and will actively look to grief you when they can because your response validates it for them. Trolls and Griefers live for what you did in the OP it validates them.

Anyway good luck if you ever get stuck somewhere and need help with a nasty cr let me know I cant buff or rez but that's something I can do.

[Agatha]

rangers literally suck, i think the only thing you can do is delevel them to 20, and even then take a fungi off of it and a non twink rogue can kill the ranger lol.

[Eslade]

welcome to red

[Casey VII]

welcome to the mind of a broken man called Exed

[Eslade]

if it wasn't exed it would be Max or some other psycho. this really isn't some new phenomenon.

[deathpanel]

welcome to the mind of a broken man called Exed

saw exed soloing smugglers in qeynos catacombs the other day.

Instead of spoiling empires plans, he is uncovering devious plots against Antonious Bayle.

Wont lie though this games about having fun, if exed is having fun continue on buddy,

[Strange]

i know of a ranger who is low level with epics,though he didnt delvl..he is leveling up to 50-60 id assume.

if you can start a took with epics..why not ?

[Strange]

toon*

[Genedin]

Vividly remember a gnome warrior that leveled to 50 or so then de-lvled to like 20 and would run around Gfay all day slaying everyone on rallos zek until he went /LD and I trained him into guards and looted his haste item.

WAAAA WAAAAAAAAAA

OR

Shits classic

This. Rangers so weak and epics aren't that amazing or hard to get. Literally the only reason most dps classes would have any trouble defeating him would be the Fungi.

[Bokke]

Exed is the only delvl ranger on the server

Fought a different one the other day in CoM. Surge or Sarge or something I dunno.

De-leveling with epics, or twinking in general, to grief on a low population server is pretty pathetic.

[Bokke]

Shits classic

On live it was maybe 1:100 twink to lowbie ratio.
Here its like 5:20 for a particular level bracket.

[Eslade]

On live it was maybe 1:100 twink to lowbie ratio.
Here its like 1:4 for a particular level bracket.

ftfy

[Seltius]

Also have to take into account server populations between live and here. Then there is server content to consider.

In the end you either adapt or quit because its not going to change. The whole server really isn't quite that bad you just get to know who to watch for and who to completely avoid. Start watching for YT and then you know that that are probably isn't safe.

[Swish]

Exed must be cashing in or something, I thought there was still good plat in selling peggy cloaks.

[Malevz]

Think I seen this mentioned but...

He's deleveled, so he won't be leveling anytime soon. Get a few levels and you never have to worry about him again. With the exp bonus you can easily outlevel fungi/epic twinks in a day. Not worth stressing over.

[Wrench]

ftfy

lmao

ratios, what do they mean?

[Strange]

hes not a delvl,nothing wrong with someone exping/pking while they level up just because they got epics/twinked when most of the server is alts or blues with gear from their plat transfers.

most of the CB/MM/CoM/KC/Seb/Guk twinks are from Azrael crew exploiting the fungi camp :p

[Dclanskie]

My deal is the basic fundamentals of the rules on P99. Yes it's a little bit of a rant but grieving on the server is not tolerated. So why do half the posts say "deal with it. welcome to Red"
I know wtf PvP is. Only ever play PvP. But for someone like me and MANY others like me who don't have epic toons with ample play time, due to life and its responsibilities, can't just pick up and move zones and get anything else done due to an exploiter. I am more than ready to accept a legit defeat. Twink is aggravating yes, however, for a lone RANGER... fungi or not should not be able to take on a cleric, druid and mage by himself within the same level range. I'll 1v1 checkers with him all day and night but given the "exploit" no matter my strategy he wins. Earned? YES! but deserved, NO!

I didn't curse him, nor did i spam him with whispers saying how effed up it was. I just said in /say "Really man?".

My only concern here is some kind of measure of respect and pride. Exploiting the system to gain a huge advantage for your own sadistic pleasure is beyond low.

[Tassador]

Your real problem is you should be playing on blue but due to over population you think you can come ruin our lands.

[Efwan]

most of the CB/MM/CoM/KC/Seb/Guk twinks are from Holo/Empire crew, heck they even have a twink alt guild

Ftfy

[Stasis01]

Red99 brings the best out in people.

[Sirban]

Ok, you have a druid and a mage. The only thing you had to do was cast a DS on everyone and the ranger would just die to DS lol no joke

[krssmth76]

In all reality...I imagine Exed is kicked back reading all this attention and loving it...if you don't like the idea of being slaughtered by a twink or anyone for that matter...go play on a blue "Care Bear" server...only the strong survive on Red...the weak just post here and whine all day.....

[krssmth76]

And in regard to this "Surge" imposter....I saw Exed run him out of Unrest several times the other day....lol

[Nirgon]

For sure it does.

have to be in real bad shape if noone here can make you feel better about yourself

<3 red

[Kergan]

Entire family of beta males griefed off the server by the worst PVP class in EQ, move to resolved.

[derpcake]

this makes me want to dlvl my mage so i can prove who the superior pvp class is in the 10-14 bracket

not rly tho

[derpcake]

lets pm sirken to ask for a lvl 10-14 BoTB

p sure he's cheering at the prospect as i type

[Bokke]

Twinking out an alt to kill people in cloth gear might be the most blue thing you can do on a red server.

obviously you haven't been shat on enough

let the rustle inspire you

[derpcake]

the bluest thing u can do here is bitch anon on the forum

[Bokke]

the bluest thing u can do here is bitch anon on the forum

I'm not anon. I'm also not bitching. Twinks have never been an issue for me personally.

I'd like to see more players on red so its not just the same bunch of sociopaths that it always has been. I think twinking and killing people on this server is silly when there's only one small group of players actually levelling up.

[Pitborn]

Welcome to Red.

[erog84]

Name of this ranger so I can send him a tell thanking him for his work in keeping this server red, and all the bluebies sent crying back to where they came from.

[krssmth76]

That would be "Exed" lol......
