Yep. Turns out that it's a big mistake to come to here looking to escape the rage-inducing idiocy of RL. Sadly, not only is rage-inducing idiocy not magically banished by our beloved elfsim, but our raging is often idiocy in the eyes of others.

c'est la vie

I'll probably quit once the penalty is removed. It fucking nauseates me to watch as the underdog classes I love get an influx by the same community-fucking, exp-maxing, WoW-mentality people who were complete assholes to the people who loved the classes in spite of their flaws.

I also find it sad that we had 7 years of people thinking the exp penalty mean the entire groups exp was cut by 40%, and now it's over and no fucking apology or shame. People would deny a level 25 paladin but take a level 28 wizard when the wizard gave an even bigger penalty.

Don't worry, exp penalty or not, we will still be undesirable to those min/maxers

I dont think there will be a massive influx of hybrids just because the penalty dissapears, after all we are still poor solo artists and therefore few will likely reach old age.

So the dudes that got their hybrids to 50+ during Kunark will still be able to feel very good about themselves, having being part of a misunderstood elite before it became mainstream.

Rangers aren't good solo artists *now*. That changes somewhat in Velious.

Panic animal is a game-changer.

And SKs and Paladins get some reasonable buffs as well.

I think the best point to be taken from this thread, and I believe it's a very legitimate one, is that on Live, it took them 1.5 years to realize how idiotic the exp penalty/2h/combat tables were. Kunark has been on P99 for 4 years now. I don't see the rationale on making people wait even longer for something that should have technically been changed a long time ago, at least according to the classic timeline.

I mean, I've barely been on p99, I can imagine the struggle for people who have been here longer.

Based on the twitch video from the GMs, they will be following the Velious updates as closely as they can. So in about 2 months the exp penalty will go away. Do I feel it is long overdue, yes. But the new zones, and better knowledge of the game, I feel I will be 65 in no time at all.

There is no level cap increase until PoP :/

Rangers get to fear kite animals, SK's can already fear kite anything that can be feared. So not a game changer, although a good improvement for rangers. I bet quite a few will be fear kiting Cougar Claw Earrings in EW.

Btw and off topic, I predict EW and GD will be dominated by charm kiting bards.

The combat table doesn't change for 10 months after release. That's very idiotic to make people wait for that.

Being able to very effectively solo now from level 22 onwards by targeting animals is a *huge* bonus. That was my point.

I'm well aware SKs can fear kite [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
