constructive criticism
 

historically the server has plummeted population wise every single time the experience rate has been reduced in any form

here's my suggestion: don't do the thing that rapes server population

History has shown that exp drop = population drop.

Ban colgate for the gratuitous use of the R word imo

Maybe i can forum PVP instead of leveling alts

Constructive criticism = thread full of it locked. So yeah.

it;s OK if you aren't actually constructive. if you just say "we shouldnt have exp nerfed" then that's fine by GMs because you aint backing it up.

if you point to historical examples, quote server staff disagreeing with other staff, or post actual chat logs of ppl who considered coming back to play because of a recent resurgence in pop, but then decided R99 is doomed because they heard staff make decisions like nerfing exp 1 week later...........

that is when you get your post deleted for "shit talking"

Pudge, this is pretty much why your post was deleted:

The white space didn't help either.

The Red Server changes thread was locked because there was nothing constructive coming from it, we are aware that a number of people in the forum community do not like this change, we knew this before implementing it, and do not need to hear more about how you do not like it.

I have already stated that we intend to look at XP on red and provide further changes to the way XP works, but the high global modifier is gone and will not be coming back, so talking more about it is pointless.

Have faith. We're not actively trying to destroy your box, pals :)

yeah i dont agree with the xp nerf, not unless the group bonus xp gets bumped drastically

to expect the lower levels to thrive just cause everyone is gonna be stuck in the low levels isn't a good fix, its just gonna result in every lowbie quitting.

keep the slow xp but promote group xp very big, that will force people to find eachother and group rather than solo

i'm guessing this is the idea and the group xp part just didnt make it with the patch

I don't understand why the emphasis appears to be on nerfs. Pet agro is broken, so let's focus on making sit agro a thing. Red's pulse can barely be measured, so let's take out one of the biggest draws but also not put in a mitigator like was mentioned. Yeah, classic EQ was basically Verant nerfbatting everything, but I don't know why that particular experience appears to be front and center on P99's agenda.

because there was nothing constructive coming from it

because there was nothing constructive coming from it

Im sorry Deru, im really trying hard not to rip into you, but you gotta re-read yourself before you push that submit reply button

The problem, once again, is that youre taking something from blue, and blindly applying it to red, which is a completely different animal than the blue server.

Keep saying moar you dont need our feedback

Seriously, you guys obviously do

You also posted "lolz, imagined QQ" and then a couple hours later "Major xp nerf"

Credibility took a hit there. Sure you say youre not trying to kill the box, but it sure looks like it
