lol im not even saying it like that. Im just saying that everything falls back on these forums to most over-used word. "Classic."

XP penalties are CLASSIC no arguement there.

Having them for 4 years is not Classic.

Just sayin

Your "just sayin" is as cliche as Swish's baby goat headbutt classic gif.

Recreating "the classic experience" is impossible. That's why the staff aren't really trying to do that. They are giving us the classic mechanics and telling us to go to town (which was actually a pretty big part of the classic experience by itself).

If staff changed a classic mechanic to try to simulate an accurate timeline or to account for today's players every time someone like you wanted them to, p99 would suck.

I personally don't play a hybrid (other than bard, which I don't care about just a fun class).

This isn't a personal request.....and Im not asking them to change everything, everytime someone whines. Im just saying I do see a huge problem with the current grouping system when hybrids are involved, and a serious lack of hybrids due to the current xp set up.

I don't care IF they change it. Just saying it doesn't make alot of sense to me.

Just utilizing the forums to chat about stuff man. Not expecting them to come to my house and take notes on how I want the server ran.

What line are you speaking of?

prolly the one he snorted [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The bright side is, I can get most ranger-only gear for pretty cheap right now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] apart from some very rare raid stuff anyway.
And even though there are few rangers around to buy my trueshot longbows, there are even less fletchers around (often usually rangers) so can still get a good price on those TS bows once they realize they cant find anyone else selling them. And still, ranger tracking is golden, beats my drui tracking by far, which makes for easy money collecting hides, even leveling tailoring. And with less rangers in the game, means less competition in outdoor zones.

So I have no BIG complaints, but still the result is far from classic even if the code is technically accurate. However, mostly the down side is I see no reason to roll any other hybrid on this server. Oh well, at least ranger is one of my fav classes so soloing is perfectly fine for me.

I don't know if I see a lack of hybrids on the server. I definitely see plenty of Iksar and Ogre sk's.

The xp penalty is by far the least annoying part of playing hybrid. As a ranger, Of all the things I'd want to see changed, it doesnt even make the list.

you guys keep saying there are a "serious lack of hybrids" - do you have any numbers to back this up? try doing some /who all count queries at different times of day. i personally haven't noticed a noticeable difference in the amount of hybrid vs purebred toons.

i HAVE noticed that hybrid toons tend to be more twinked, but that makes sense, and isn't necessarily unclassic

There are more SK's in the game compared to ranger and pally, but only a 2% dif. Still, hybrid is pretty much devastated on this server, between 4%-6% of pop. I played on tunare from launch, it was a running joke how many hybrids were in the game. They were everywhere. Tunare had a crazy amount of elf rangers for sure, since it was the tunare server and all. Classic.

keep in mind this probably shows all of the random level 1 characters people have on their accounts, including EC mules, lore corpses, etc.

edit: whoops no it's by level
