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.]

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Nope, but I know a lot of people who said they were waiting (not on the forum).

Uh-huh. Nonetheless, the opportunity to be in newbie groups with bard/sk/paladin/ranger/cleric/<any other> doesn't sound bad to me.

All Hybrid classes suck on average. Plain and Simple. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I know I will take a blast of shit for that statement. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

People are more than happy to have 2 Iksar Monks in a group with a 44% XP penalty, but God help you if a Pally, Ranger, Sk wants to join. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But a Pally, Ranger, Sk DOES suck unto they got AA's later in the game, and they will still suck in Velious because they will NEVER get AA's to help them out..

They are the "Red Headed Stepchild" of EQ, and will always be on here. Not going to change any time soon.
