Velious launch GM Event

[patperson]

I wish I knew earlier that I could have slain orcs for event drops... By the time I figured out what was going on, I decided to skip the event and go to Crushbone to find a group or solo... By the time I got there it was filled up with high levels killing everything. Oh well!

You think the server is genuinely concerned with helping out the underdogs until a world event throws treats on the server grounds, then you see what kind of people really populate the server. Never have I seen so much KS'ing, camp steal, trains, and a blatant disregard for low-level zones in all of the MMO's I've played. This behavior made the event exclusive to only those 50+ or who can run fast enough to kill humanoid mobs faster than everyone else. It did nothing but isolate the population of newcomers and the veterans even more and it's pretty disheartening to see that.

I was in Gfay by the crushbone entrance, 12 pally and 11 cleric, everyone pretty much let us do our thing there. We each got about 20 or so turnins in an hour. One high level shaman even buffed me on his way by, so it wasn't all bad.

When does the snow go away? I need to be able to lay out on Kerra Isle for that tan and its just not going to happen with this weather.

I disagree. If you know how to use /assist, you could have easily got plenty of faction needed to 'send me to velious' when the event was over.

Just need to tag those mobs, or get on their agro list so when they die you get +faction message.

Event items had the chance of dropping from any race with a spoken language except dragons. That is Gnolls, Orcs, Faerie, Goblin, Froglok, Lizardman, Barbarian, Dark Elves, Dwarves, Erudites, Gnomes, Half Elves, Halflings, High Elves, Humans, Iksar, Ogres, Trolls, and Wood Elves.

Any.. of those npcs throughout the known world could drop a quest item. If you couldn't find any of those npcs to kill, I'm not sure what to say.

[kledar]

damn I left the faeries in Lfay alone thinking they weren't really humanoid, should've slaughter the little overgrown butterflies

[Daldaen]

Bah I was farming Pixies, how foolish of me!

I thought it was a fun event, but after 1 hour of trying to assist on tiny dwarves surrounded by 100 players (all frothing at the mouth) I hit FD for an hour.

It was funny though watching 20+ dwarves chain summon giants to their doom [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
