I know thats why I am voicing the complaints of many who wants to create Hybrid but either feel very unfair of their penalty or gets hated on and be ignored to join group due to their penalties.

Address this issue dev pls.

Nah I think we're totally mature enough to handle it among the player base.

Hybrid gets no love from group due to Experience penalty is real ISSUE. I thought dev is encourage grouping.

I’ve got good news and bad news.

The bad news: the goal of Project 1999 is not to create a good game. The goal is to recreate Everquest as it was from 1999-2001.

The good news: if you keep playing, keep seeking groups, and keep forming groups, you will reach max level and have a lot of fun along the way.

Dude mages only get pets up to level 20 then its summoning bags only. Think about that.

Hard to imagine what original eq devs were thinking when they were designing the hybrid classes. Even with zero class penalty they arent great and penalizing people for grouping with you is madness.

on red i've leveled like 3 hybrids with no groups because of population

just poopsock highkeep and you can solo on any of the 3 pretty well while you wait for groups

From what I recall, I brought this up during beta that the penalties should be removed. Casters already have a distinct advantage at start up, being able to go from 1-50 naked, while the melee have to gear up.

Response I got was "stfu, shit's classic".

Well I guess no tanks is classic too, eh?

Casters need to buy spells.. its the equiv of your gear up.

But yes, casters have a slight advantage at first.
