Why our group left red.

It seems like some people get their greatest joy from being able to get people to ragequit, but its probably not good for the population overall or for the non-hardcore.

First of all, you're right. Players with this griefer attitude are detrimental to the server's population. However, there are ways around them; and with your group's composition, you might even be able to fight back.

We made strong efforts to bring groups to upper guk, runnyeye, HHK, and splitpaw. A couple times we were successful, but most of the time it was impossible to get anyone away from Faydwer.

I would forsake the isle of Faydwer entirely. Tis a silly place.

That group composition should be able to exp anywhere else. If you can get 1-2 more, like a tougher tank or a cleric or shaman, you'll be golden.

I know you like to be social - trust me, there will be new people to play with on Antonica from time to time. I just had a pickup group in South Karana.

We were a group of enchanter/monk/druid/necro.

This group, if played right, should be able to fend off a twink. Some tips:

If all four of you pumice at once, the twink will lose 8 buffs. (These twinks always have a full line of buffs to make them nearly invincible; dispelling them en masse will cut them down to size.) You guys did carry pumice, right?

With the enchanter's Tash, you should be able to land spells on them. If you can use Snare, Darkness, Root, Mez, or Disempower/Cripple line, the twink will be severely hobbled.

The necromancer's Heart Flutter like of spells is Disease-based, and no one stacks disease resistance; and that spell will stack with the enchanter's disempower line, further encumbering the enemy.

Necro lifetap and leech spells are unresistible. Twinks are unlikely to have high enough fire resist to stop druid nukes or the Necromancer's fire-based DoTs, but if they do, you can even use the necro's Scent line of spells to debuff all resists except magic.

With these debuffs, plus necro and druid DoTs, and the monk's melee attacks and perhaps a necro pet, you might be able to scare off the twink - or even YT them.

Try it if you guys come back.

I rolled on this server 5 months ago for the first time as a rogue. I got to 60
by myself, no fungi, no epic till 54. Ya i died to twink pvpers a handfull of times on the way to 60, but now im basically bis, all in 5 months, with the help of a strong raiding guild.

Anyone can play on this server. Expect to die in pvp a bit, ignore the fucks that have been playing on this server for 4 years and hate their life cause they repeatedly fail at the high end comtent.

Everything you guys say ITT is stupid as shit. Please reroll with no gear, come back in a week and apologize to OP.

[Mr Popo]

And I understand that qtip means well, but he is still wrong.

Just did. I'm 35 now. Died twice to twinks, my group turned around and killed them once. We didn't have twinks in our group at the time either. We were just ready, on our guard, and coordinated. The two deaths, I told the twinks good fight and they left me alone after that and I outleveled them in a couple of hours and was oor. With the xp bonus it's not hard to do.

I can echo what others have said. It can be trying at times being a lone player, but you have a group of people, which opens up your options.

The best advice I can give you is to start up a static group. You already have 4 people, so throw up a post looking for 2 more that want to play on your set days in your level range. You might have trouble finding 2 people at your current level, especially for specific classes, but give it a try. There are a lot of people who making alts and having a steady group is very attractive, especially for people who play classes that don't solo well (warrior/cleric).

Even starting over at level 1 with a group of 6 regular players and a well balanced group is a viable option. You can go anywhere you want and have entire zones to yourself if you don't want to deal with the twinks. Or you can go to popular grouping places and stand your ground against the twinks. Especially if the group all remains the same level.


Use your existing characters to farm up some money for the new group if you need.

[Genedin]

Common misconception, at low lvls an enchanter tash WILL NOT provide enough negative MR for roots, snare, etc to land on any quality twink, so that theory does not work.

However, if these guys did indeed all carry a pumice stone and cast it at the same time, and they had druid sow, they should pretty much never die against a single twink.

Also like everyone else said, you already have a group, just go exp in obscure areas, I don't even level my own twinks in mistmoore because even though I won't get wrecked I also won't be able to exp.

[Pikrib]

My advice is to level while Empire is raiding. You won't get attacked by any twinks.

[Mr Popo]

Yeah guys, let's tell a group of 4 total noobs to buy pumice stones instead of, you know, spells, tell them they need to be more coordinated, and act like it is real advice.
