Just plain nuts

[Extunarian]

For the record, I won't be playing here much. Might make an iksar, so hopefully I can play in some of the Kunark zones with a crowd the way it used to be.

BUT IKSARS HAVE TEH XP PENALTY!!!!11


These questions would best be posed to the original developers of EQ. Try here:

Yes.

Your point is?

I also don't think a 20% penalty is warranted for regen. Or a 5% penalty for being able to slam without a shield.

But the game has been like that from the beginning.

If you took the penalties away I don't think it would make much difference.

On the other emu servers where you level so fast you don't notice penalties, you don't seem to see that many trolls.

Or maybe it is because racial regen isn't noticeable on those servers anyway with all the ch emblems.

Whatever.

So why are you complaining then? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


Sounds to me like someone is playing a hybrid and can't level fast enough. QQ GG.
If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen! ...or just roll with the times and play a halfling warrior [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd never play a non-caster on this server. On this one I would only play:

Druid
Shaman
Mage
Necro

Clerics can solo, although it is painful and you have to pick your spots. Too much other heartache associated with them though. I could write you a very lengthy post about this one.

Wizards are a pita for a long time to level. Much easier with the 4 classes mentioned above. They definitely are worth it past 50, but I don't care to invest the time to level one here.

Only melee class I'd consider is monk. Actually I'd play one of those before a cleric or wizard. FD is a great utility. Let's you run around a lot of places.

Never got the hang of enchanters really. Too much stress for me in a group. I just didn't like it.

You didn't actually answer my question. You even said penalties don't make much difference, so why are you posting? Especially since you aren't even playing on here which is implied by your above post.

R&F here we commmmmmmmmmme

Ok. I take it this was your question?

"So why are you complaining then?

Because I choose too.

Because I think this whole xp premise thing is flawed and unintelligent, I choose to criticize it.

Now I'll spell out why I would never play a non-caster here.

I do not like to be a level 45 warrior (or maybe a 45 cleric), who can't just decide to run to City of Mist on a whim. I mean I didn't play my alt necro up high enough to be able to afford cobalt legs (think that was the one with invis), and I haven't camped the ancient cyclops (cause I hate long ass camps) to get my jboots (didn't make it to Najena in time, guessing that is over now).

Insert Paladin where it says warrior in this one.

Or take a cleric. Great in groups. Got to spend a small fortune on cloudys and bloodstones, though. Interesting about that, you know clerics usually get the shaft in pickup groups on loot because you are on your ass the whole time? I mean the melees usually loot as soon as something is killed, and you have to stay on your ass to get enough mana to lay out just one more heal...

Unless you have a good group leader or knowledgeable considerate group members it is frustrating to play a cleric.

Not all classes in this game are created equal from a fun standpoint.

If you can't bind yourself and gate and not waste a ton of time, if you can't travel easily, you can't explore (still a lot in the game I haven't seen even in kunark/velious era), you can't do quests without help, or solo a griffin or a sand giant because you feel like it at level 50...

Then I don't want it.
