must admit that I havent experienced post 50 life as a ranja on p99 yet.

Arent most hybrids twinks anyways?

There must be very few who start on this server with such a tricky class option......

So 40+ arent many hydrids sololing?

tbh i hated bow kiting on live so i doubt its gonna be fun on p99!

daft enough to think i know how to exp at 40+ tho.....duo ftw.

There's an argument for them being good pullers versus bards and monks... and typically that's a hybrid slot anyway. Other than that, yep.

Rangers suffer the most sadly because you need to be very good at it to get regular groups. I met too many on blue who would afk a lot, dragged their feet if they had to pull, etc.

Sounds like you met some terrible players.

This is probably why you've met those terrible players.

But those few are the ones you want to group with, because they actually have to proves themselves instead of relying on their main.

I guess I'll take your word for it. People don't openly say "omg u suk hybrid, lol" - you just need to be more proactive in making your own groups.

Pre-Velious, try standing in KC LFG for a long time as a pally/SK/ranger...bards seemed to get groups more regularly. I don't see why that would be any different in mentality until the penalty is taken out, and by then there'll be 100s of people competing for that tank slot lol.

Honestly, I haven't heard much of this and all I play are the +40% classes on blue. That being said, I tend to run groups and I couldn't care less about xp penalties. The grind is what defines EQ. The more xp penalties, the more kills I get to achieve! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You get to have 40% more fun grinder per level!

Think of it as a bonus to Fun

I wish everyone thought the same... make sure you invite those struggling tanks when the hybrid penalty is removed, they'll all need groups.

For sure I'll invite them! Especially the fat ones, even though their racial penalties won't apply to the group anymore >. <

Any time I read a Swish post about Blue I immediately wonder, "how long has it been since Swish played Blue?" Because his experience is always the opposite of mine.

50 ogre sk here, never a problem finding a group, sometimes even get tells for groups in faraway lands. Never make my own group (unless you count my static buddies).

Play what you want.

People seem oblivious to the fact that everyone's waiting for the penalty to go away before they make their hybrids... what could possibly happen after that?

5 hybrids and a cleric in a group, that's what [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ... unless people are going to be picky, which is my point.

"Everyone"? Are we making the mistake of thinking that the forums represent all of p99 again?

I'm sure it'll be fine. If anything, people will be happy that more tanks are available.
