It was the opposite of a rage quit. It was a disheartened quit.

People will say this place is casual friendly, and then tell everyone new to shoehorn themselves into the same 4 zones.

"Sol A is off limits, go to Mistmoore instead"

"Want to explore this wonderful game and all of its offerings? Nah, min-max and just jump on the exp superhighway to 60 and warmbody raids for loot you'll never need because you don't actually do anything in game except for collect DKP"

etc, etc.

honestly, yes?

"and people suggest shoehorning into the same 4 zones"

well the servers are pretty dead pop wise and the popular spots are popular for a reason, to find other people to grp with quickly when you login

but if you've already formed a group, during a event that's gonna cause issues for a grind session in whatever zone, maybe take advantage of

and go explore this wonderful game? and all of its offerings? Nah, let's forum post about it.


like i 100% blame the chaperone of that group and new player for having a bad experience, not the lvl 60s doing the xmas event

On Green, I have been trying to bring a group of newbies through Sol A for the last week - with no success. Every 5 minutes, a new level 60 storms in
this dude.

didn't see it was Green not Blue until just now so pop argument applies less i guess, but the main point still stands

Why would you see that an event is happening that requires drops from a low level zone and then choose that zone to try to xp in during that event? It's like you're intentionally setting yourself up to be disappointed.
While I do sympathize with your situation, I tend to agree with this.

I mean again, personally, I was also on green. My friend and I duo'd from like 27 to 35 or something in Sol A during the event during primetime with no issue.

Honestly if anything it was probably more likely us that was holding the zone down and taking the mobs, most of the higher levels that came through got their skins/plants from us.

I haven't said thanks already to everyone involved in producing the event it was wild from my perspective. I know one of the lucky title winners too and he got the coolest one imo.

Thank you guides!

Ecko was a bit rough on the delivery, but this is an OPEN WORLD game and there are a large number of exp spots for any given level range. Sol A is indeed an awesome zone, but like with any other camp, the moment you get blocked, you need to reroute or you're stuck waiting.

Sol A is right next to a druid ring, I think re-mobilizing would have taken less time and frustration for you and your crew. Hosting a crew is HARD work, I always have a plan B (and often a C) when coordinating my crews.

If you can convince your friends to try again, I strongly suggest you read this little gem:

https://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide

That is not the same 4 zones we all know, it is a massive listing of everything from solo camps to group camps.

Want a bit more plat? Try this magic link:
