Too slow

[Amuk]

I appreciated the server, and can't wait for live - and appreciate all Rogean and team has done for us.

But I don't see what basement dwelling career virgin will find levelling to 50 and gearing up a toon not unreasonable currently on beta. I have around 11 hrs played and I'm level 16 - I predict it'll take roughly 6 days played to get to 50, and then who knows how long to get resist gear/level JC/do planes to actually gear the toon up. If this beta was to test mid level pvp then great, but I just don't see myself investing that amount of time to test high level pvp on a toon that will be wiped.

I said this in OOC and a lot of people disagreed, I wish I had the time to just throw away 10 days played into a toon to make sure resists and abilities are working properly.

that sucks, i guess all of the personal invitations sent your way asking you to beta test the server were for naught =/

[Doors]

They want to test all levels.

So just don't beta test? The experience is modified to be ten times faster on beta so it's not like it's such a waste of time.. besides, how is this different from ANY OTHER RED SERVER on eqemu (in terms of inevitable wiping)?

If you want to test pvp with full resists and such, just wait until they allow character transfers. Plenty of people have high level toons from Blue99 with decent resist gear. If not, they can always group with my Bard and I can give them at least +83 to pretty much any resistance.

so really you would only be like level 5-8 right now. maybe less. once R99 goes live. the xp only gets shitter as you leve up too. but, your toons will not be deleted. this is a quality server and your investment will mean more to you. heh, if you make it past level 30. ;p

I don't mind the grind for the real server - just feel beta is too time consuming and slow, and not accomplishing what needs to be looked at - just imo.

Your the one developing this server so you know what needs to be looked at?

Pretty sure Rogean knows what he is doing.

Being as Rogean has been asking the pvp community so much feedback on things, I'm pretty sure no one really knows what their doing, hence why we're in a beta testing things out.

Amuk is 100% correct regarding beta, I wouldn't mind the grind on live, but the xp needs to be x50 not x10, so we can get 50 in a couple days and test out shit at high end when it matters.

You could argue for the concept of pvping throughout the teens/20s etc, but NO ONE and I mean no one with their right mind wants to spend a week or so getting 50 on beta.

Thx Rogean for the hard work, but I'll be sitting on the bench till Live. The only things that need to get fixed for pvp are hit boxes really.
