A big thanks for the holiday events

[TheBlob]

Hey! I don't know if this is the best place to post this but I wanted to thank the people in charge for the holiday event. It was so nice seeing people swarming otherwise abandoned zones and helping each other with the quests [You must be logged in to view images.

That is all.

Thank you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I wish it was the same on Green. On Green, I have been trying to bring a group of newbies through Sol A for the last week - with no success. Every 5 minutes, a new level 60 storms in and clears the zone. We have averaged 5 kills every 15 minutes. Of course, this causes them to log off and want to try again another time.

But any other time of day is the same. I'm hoping they still want to play on the server after the event is over, but I have a feeling they have had their fill with the end-game population here.

Wouldn't that be a violation of the PNP on the servers?

Why would you see that an event is happening that requires drops from a low level zone and then choose that zone to try to xp in during that event? It's like you're intentionally setting yourself up to be disappointed.

In my time, when a high level came through a place like blackburrow I stood in awe of their awesome armor and whatever their inspect window message might be, their cool surname, and their amazing looking weapons. Man what a treat to see a high rolling boss cruise through. The world was bigger then, though. The wiki less complete.

Yeah, what a jerk! This server is for no-lifes who want to scum quest rewards by repeating it on each of their 12 alts - not for casuals who want to have fun.

You tell em, Tethler!

I mean, I'm not sure what other people were doing but, my monk friend and I leveled to 35 there no problem during the event. From like, 29 to 35.

We just had piles of rotting corpses for the 60's to come take the items and leave, so they rarely actually took our mobs. We camped from the gateway into basically everything past it. Never really impacted us that much.

The more bodies we had the faster we could cycle 60's to get the fuck outta the zone and most people were pretty chill to just buff us and let us kill stuff and they'd loot and leave.

I tried to do this with my group of friends, but what kept happening was: new 60 would run into zone and run right past us and up ahead of us and start clearing. We'd send a tell and they'd apologize - but the mobs were dead and 16.5 mins til respawn. So we'd move and try a location a little further into zone. But then as we'd get set up, another 60 would run into zone, run right past us and start killing in front of us.

This kept happening, at all times we tried. We pled with literally dozens of players to leave some stuff up for us to kill - but they would all be done by the time we reached any agreements.

It was just a never-ending train of players coming in and doing this. 99% of them were unintentionally leapfrogging us to clear spawns. But because they'd be in and out of the zone in a few minutes, we could never actually reach any sort of agreement with any of the players on which camp we were claiming. Any time we tried, we encountered a new player who just got there and hadn't seen us claim the camp. And they'd run in front of us and clear respawns as they were happening.

One of my friends had their fill with p99 because of the event. He said that most people on the server below level 60 are really enjoyable to play with - but having a glimpse into the mindset of the average hardcore player made him want to disassociate himself from this server.

Maybe I can talk them into TLPs, or maybe they will come back to p99 in a few weeks. I hope

repeatable dragonwing mantles was def a mistake but i can't think of a single GM event in the history of the game that doesn't turn whatever zone it's being held in into a shitshow during it so the traffic in Sol A would still be an issue

i don't understand how someone could rage quit over it though, should of taken your grp 10 minutes to guilt trip every 60 coming into the zone into fully buffing your group and porting you guys to Gfay to go xp in Mistmoore or someshit.
