Game Mechanics: Mellee miss rate seems excessively high.

[Morndenkainen]

Well, if thats the case I definatley dont see myself sticking around terribly long. A level 12 warrior getting beaten by a light blue because he cant hit it is complete crap, and being forced to play certian classes just to survive isnt my idea of a good time. Its actually rather pathetic, I think there's been a net LOSS of xp today due to the number of times a FAR lower level mob has just utterly wiped the floor with me through no fault of my own that I can see... Never did anything stupid, and it was pretty much 1v1 fights that killed me... Hell, even greens still managed to do a significant amount of damage... 25-40% hps... And my AC is 252... Fighting with a warrior appears to be a joke. Maybe its time to go play an uber class... Caster with a pet that has insane regen and doesnt miss, here I come.

Lol. I've got an almost full set of bronze / FS gear on and got roflstomped by a blue basilisk in BB. But wait, I managed to take him down to 88%!

I really don't remember easily killing blues as a warrior back on live. But really, stop QQing. Melee was REALLY fucked when the server opened and a lot of us played warriors just fine. The Dev's devoted a lot of time getting melee as close to right as they could, and its far and above better than when the server opened.


The joke doesn't appear to be fighting with a warrior, the joke appears to be trying to solo with a warrior at level 12. User error.

Its not user error. a level 12 warrior shouldnt have any difficulty kicking the crap out of a level 5 mob.. It shouldnt take a L12 warrior at full health down to 75% health just to finish it off.. It was NOT like that in Live. I know, because I played EQ when it was first released, and only played until the first expansion was released. I had no problems killing stuff in live, and used to camp the elite ledge at level 13 while dual weilding giant snake fangs. I dont see that happening or being possible here.

The real problem is that you've been playing for so long and have gotten so tied up in the game, that you cant see things from the prespective of anyone who's beneath your almighty omnipotence. = other than your own...

Aside from the fact I have been leveling up a bard the last few weeks and have not noticed any unusual melee miss ratios.

I definitely recall playing a warrior 10 years ago and even when fighting lower con mobs having horrible unlucky miss rates that caused many deaths.

I'm well aware of how to group and would be doing so if they were readily available. Being "forced" to group because of a severely crippled melee system however seems wrong. It's no wonder there's so many druids running around here - lol.

Are you seriously going to pretend it is hard to get groups right now especially lower than level 25? I have been leveling up a bard over the last month and had ZERO problems getting groups even at 2AM or 10AM MST.

"Severely crippled" melee problem is a gross exaggeration.

If you don't want to be "forced" to group there are plenty of single players games out there for you. I am sure the dev's are pretty tired of seeing people come on here and bitch how about how their level 8 character lost to a blue so the game must be broken.

LOL yep guess it was. Point still stands. I also notice you edited out the QQ fest that was your initial post. Not to mention, my first post was in response to one one of your other posts in this thread that was another 'imma quit' qq fest.
