Friday ClusterF*ck

[philbertpk]

So, who is betting on every zone being packed to the brim and KS'ing being the norm? go.

Depends on the zone. If you just want exp, old world zones will probably be a better choice. Of course that leaves this whole random loot event... so maybe you are right :).

[Rogean]

The random loot will be server wide, including old zones.. so if you want to hunt in classic zones no need to worry.

[casdegere]

LOL, gotta love how people assume what will happen.

He's probably right though, many of the kunark zones will be clusterfucks.

[azeth]

LOIO is going to be out of control. Field of Bone possibly, same with City of Mist.

[Rogean]

I'm thinking more like.. Karnors will be a HUGE mess... probably the worst.

Sebilis won't be so bad right away until enough get their keys. Same with HS.

[azeth]

Ah yea Karnor's, clearly. hindsight is 20/20

[philbertpk]

yea. Karnors... going to be hell. Im planning on sticking to Old world zones for the event...I love Kunark, but ill leave it to the ones who want to flood over there and fight for mobs.. find me a nice quite light blue area and sit with some friends will be the best strat I think.

I see lots of arguing and fighting in Trakanon's Teeth over the key mobs. Karnors will be worse due to numbers but TT is gonna be bitch central.

[Wotsirb401]

Yeah Seb will be too high right away. Seb seems better @ 55+

[Bruno]

That was my prediction a few weeks ago. All of the high end guilds will be trying to lock it down. It's going to be quite a show.

[stonebeard22]

Please wait in this line for your drops for Seb key, current wait time is 9 hours. Wait someone let guildies bump in line, current wait time is 14 hours...

[Hobby]

There is not going to be alot of leniency or looking the other way come friday night..

You fuck up and try to ruin someone elses experience because you "HAZ TO GIT DAT MOB FIRSTEST", you'll be crying at the server select screen for a week.


I am expecting a number of idiots to be playing...it will be fun :D

The problem is that there aren't too many places like that at 50 or 51. Plenty of people will be staying in guk or solB, OOT and specs in ferrott and oasis too. With the firepot bind rush, many towns will have their guards camped since it will be absolute cake to get there from the fire pots. Kedge *should* be busy since it has the highest xp mod. A great deal of people will probably grind there instead of fighting the hoards in Kunark.

In short, I don't think there will be many "nice quiet light blue areas" to claim. It won't be as bad in the old world as it will be in kunark zones, but you still won't be able to avoid the rush.

I believe the best strat would actually be going the other way. Have a druid or mage DS PL a bunch of newbies in low level areas. Offer to pay them for loot rights. Then you sit back and wait. With a mage DS, a random newbie can kill random trash in only a few seconds. Even light blues at 50 take a min to kill, and then you run the risk of running out of them.

Hell, twink out a warrior in all the HP/AC stuff you can find, buff him up as much as you can, give him a DS and have him pull all of crushbone. He'll get xp from the DS kills. If he gets too much xp, just kill him a few times. Rinse and repeat until you have all the rare drops you want.

[stonebeard22]

Why do people keep posting all their good ideas? Are they saving the even better ones for themselves? =D

[philbertpk]

I thought bout making a twink and getting to lvl 10 to best hunt Light Blues. but tbh. Im not the type of person who is like, o shit if I dont get something to drop ill die, for me, ill be online playing, I hope I get something, but ill just be XP grouping as normal with a nice surprise (maybe)

Also, CB will be a packed slut of a zone.

[Rais]

Karnors will have 60+ people there, and there will still be trains.

With 60 people there won't be any mobs to train.

[mistersuits]

60 people, 50 of whom are CR'ing!

[falkun]

I feel sorry for the froglok forager and hunter. Having an average lifespan of 3.2seconds just isn't fun. Good news is that it'll be a while before I need my key and hopefully the spawn camping will have died down a bit by then.

[Rais]

You have more faith than I do. After joining the sever in June, and being in leveling zones till Oct time frame. I hope the "generation" of players during that time learned some!

It will be fun for sure tho. Looking forward to it!

[gprater]

until enough get their keys.



Ill bet the line waiting for those frogloks will be lengthy.

[Chicka]

Wow. Any one else hear there is a free beer at all bars scheduled for Friday night? I hear it's run by the Beer Council for World Peace Organization LTD. PLC.

Apparently it is for charity and it would be bad not to be at your local.
