hybrid penalty is in place for a reason
dont fuck wit it imo
(ps im a hybrid)

There was never a reason for it, it was one of the badly thought out idea's by Sony like Manaburn, Lifeburn, and T-staff.

Verant tried to stick to a lot of D&D idea's when they made this game and took the dual/class lvl penalty idea AD&D forged without realizing it had no place in a live game environment.

Hybrid's already suffer the weakness of not being able to gate, bind, or solo. And being much more gear reliant than caster's. You don't need to add insult to injury by slapping on an insane exp hit on top it.

I'm guessing your already 60 and you don't want more of you's around to roll against. I just can't see any other reason why you'd suggest such an illogical thing.

None of his SKs are lvl 60, and removing hybrid penalty is dumb.

Why? lol see this is trolling folks saying something is dumb without ever stating why it's dumb lol.

I play a Bard so I don't care either way it doesn't really effect or hinder my lvling in the least. But I think it would be fair for Hybrid's to be treated as melee's and not as some special class that gets no advantage whatsoever to make up for a huge exp penalty.

When's the last time you saw a 60 ranger, that's WHY!

I use common sense and argue with reason, my points consist of more than "that's stupid"

LALS

yup i picked slowest leveling class/race combination for handsomeness only

c*nfirmed

Obviously my statement was too basic for the logic impaired, so I will amend it in an effort to be more concise.

There is no advantage a Hybrid has in a pve role that cannot be fulfilled by a pure melee or caster class. Leaving no reason to warrant such an extreme penalty to lvling.

I do realize it is unfair to the player's that have taken the time to struggle through it as it currently exists, and think they should be given something to compensate for the time spent.

i like you but not sure if you are serious or dum about this. a hybrid can fill mulitiple roles, for instance all the hybrids can pull a hell of alot better than a warrior. another example is that all the hybrids can hold agro better than a warrior as well assuming the warrior isnt twinked out the ass with haste/proc weapons but even then its sketchy.

i can understand a hybrid penalty in place for soloing. however having the penalty affect group xp is pretty stupid.

Of course he doesn't want more "hims" around. Part of the reward for that insane grind is the lower competition for lewts, and why would someone who literally has a 40% exp penalty (at LEAST) want someone else rolling up EZ mode afterward?

There really is no point discussing it though.. it ain't gonna happen till velious, and that's classic. Better to talk about group exp bonus, which ends up helping hybrids as well as everyone else.

funny how every thread ends up sounding the same

and with the same staff response

time to wake up guys.

Let me get this straight. You:

1. Play box, level multiple toons 50+
2. Burn out, sell account. Talk shit about our box.
3. Roll toon on E-Z server, burn out, continue shit talking of our box.
4. Re-roll new toon on our box, but still continue Shitty McShitterson 'this box blows' posts.

I am so fucking confused right now.

Heres an event that would be probably easy to code, simple, does not need any GM involvement and would bottleneck some noobs around a specific zone, because as much as i think end game events are cool, some events for fresh fishes to get them hooked on the server would be cool too.

"The derv merchant caravans"

Some level 18-20ish mobs spawn during 1 or 2 hours in south RO, announced on Server wide yellow text.

Groups of 3 patrolling across Sro desert, with 2 mercs (sweet xp for the level range) escorting an easy target (the merchant) who drops a really interesting amount of plat for a person that a level 18 is his main. You could insert a nice weapon for that level range in there as a rare drop in the merc table loot.

The beauty of events like this, is that once the initial work is done, im guessing the only thing you have to do is switch the event on. I would be glad to devote some time to working on suggesting a list of events like this if there is some interest on the dev side to make this kind of fun, organic pvp magnet event a regular occurence on the server. Id even put in work to actually design the event myself, if there is no actual coding involved.

Since the xp loss in pvp is gone, people can just have fun pvping over event mobs, ganking each other for the coins, etc... I would use as ive suggested before the halloween event of 2001 as a blueprint to build other events here.

I can imagine some higher level asshole going over there to KS/grief, making people like saidin and samwise and me come out of the woodwork to go gank the griefers, more fun pvp. Thats where the fun of having pvp alts shine, to have these characters to fuck around. Like a level 16 necro, 24 sham, 12 wiz, etc who are just left at their levels cuz its now fun (no xp loss) to pvp with them.

Im sure theres other people on the server who would have great ideas for this sort of thing if we can just get some kind of mutual respect between devs and players going again.

Darkenbane was the most hated guild of all time on Rallos but since only Sullon had a leaderboard to show where everyone stood, I didn't feel the need to mention our accolades on Rallos.

You guys always reminded me of the the 80s Decepticons, only you're leaders catch phrase wasn't "Retreat" but something more amusing and less honest.
