GOSH DARN THIS SH*T IS PISSING ME OFF

[Troxx]

Allow people to voluntarily take their real toons to beta server at current level without beta buff - and keep the xp and loot they earn by reverse copying that toon to live blue when velious does launch.

I'd go hunt/xp and assist on raids in a heartbeat. Still being new to p99 though, I have a lot of catching up to do still in kunark. The hours spent beta testing for me are better spent legitimately leveling and progressing.

Not all of us have mains at 60 - much less multiple level 60s with raid gear on them all.

I'm looking forward to velious. It was my favorite expansion.

Beyond that, come velious we will finally get the long overdue changes to hybrid xp penalties. Thankfully as a bard I'm needed for my role in the group - it just sucks to know I'm robbing everyone else. It's very easy to see the impact. In KC over the weekend we replaced a warrior and human monk with a sk troll and ranger. Our kill rate stayed consistent but the xp flow dropped like a rock.

I feel bad for rangers in particular. On more than one occasion from inside a group I watched the whole group veto inviting a lfg ranger for not wanting to absorb further penalties shared.

If velious is really around the corner they should just go ahead and change this prior to velious launch.

Seriously. If wager they'd get most of the server playing there bugs and all. The problem with beta for non-end game people who don't already have everything is that work done for beta time is otherwise lost. I bet you'd get tons of raiders opting to do this as well. Lots of velious raid stuff to play with for keeps and with the raid scene more spread out it would allow people to actually get to do some of the older content that is presently contested.

Even at 51 I'd take the copy over for keeps deal. I'd like to hunt in velks and I'm sure there'd be some pickup kael arena fun to be had.

Better yet, just launch velious live now and iron out the bugs as you find them with a live server. I'm positive the population here would be understanding that there are going to be big problems needing to be fixed.

[Aabdel]

only problem there Troxx is that if the bugs are significant enough that people are losing items/corpses/xp etc on a live server, the admins have even more on their plate trying to satisfy every person who is unhappy whilst trying to iron out the bugs.

do admins get dual wield?

Tiggles has virtually no real dkp in the velious beta. Ironic isn't even close to this level of mental handicap. When you say we, you actually mean they don't you?

I would play whatever is needed in SoV Beta alongside TMO or anyone who is activly raiding this (my guild raids there from time to time as well) if it helps push this along.

Is two boxing allowed on velious beta? I'm not a cool guy in a cool guild but I would be happy to see what kind of mischief I can cause. It's hard to do much as a solo warrior on an empty server.

I'm really glad the OP found jesus.

This brings up a good point. You guys remember that stress test Rogean did where like 7 of the big guilds on the server all got together and clusterfucked around all over ToV? That was actually a shitload of fun and I felt like everyone was getting along real nicely. I got to shoot the shit with a few dudes who I'd ordinarily be too busy trying to run past to get to a raid target to bother chit chatting, had some laughs, Phear was cracking me up in ooc, it was nice. It was good to have an excuse to put aside all of the bullshit and do the cooperative spirit thing for a while. Let's do that again sometime. Joint guild raid to see what kind of numbers it'll ultimately take to drop AoW, something.
