Red Server Changes

[woodlone]

I think I see first candidate for the bandidate.

Peace out Red99. Leveling up as a new player on the server when there isn't anyone your level to group with was worth it with an exp bonus. I see no point in trying to catch up. There is just not enough lower population to justify changing this now.

Here's the reaction from Red Dawn guild chat, home to a majority of newer players who are still leveling:

"This sucks I'm out"
"This is awful"
"Well I guess I'm quitting"

There could be a 10,000% exp bonus on this server but it's meaningless without players to group with. The dynamic of red means you're stuck to grouping with your own guild, which means there might be ONE cleric if you're lucky for your group, ONE enchanter, etc. Melees are going to get absolutely FUCKED by this. I just don't even x1000000000000000000000000

for reals, I have all the toons I want at 60 already.. pretty much doesnt even affect people like me and heartbrand but this is just bad news. I've noticed a lot of people quit over stuff in patches since that one time in classic they made mobs flee more. This removal of the XP is bad news [You must be logged in to view images.

Also I really hope this decision wasn't rushed in favor of discouraging those recently banned from rerolling. As this doesn't effect them nearly as much as the new player who sees 1 person while they are trying to level, who most of the time is a twinked alt who just wants you dead.

Confirmed.... people zone in, I ask if they wanna group, a wild twink appears, I get coined... they camp til someone of actual pvp compatibility shows up to contest, and then they run like women and plug.

It's a hard knock life for us.

I have a 22 rog who has been leveling with other melee's in glasscannon duo/trio's and an 8sk.... both will now be unplayable with no tanks or healers realistically... why solo grind for months when I could go to red server and hand in discord books with a guild of people and have a ball? lol

Came here with a half dozen friends, this will make our efforts far less feasible... I'm probably the only one sick enough to stick around for the torture, but eventually my wife agro will grow too high and I will get instagibbed from all the red raging.

I would like clarification of what criticism is unacceptable.

How are people discouraged from rerolling if the xp bonus is still in effect 1-50?

Lots of people don't want to grind up to 50 only to face no-exp bonus on a pvp server where you're going to get mauled by 60s.

Can't imagine eating exp loss as a level 52 from pvp on a regular basis.

This is like the blue server now with 150 people instead of 1000. Why would you nerf experience without adding in a group modifier to slightly compensate for the nerf?

Sigh, I guess I am not surprised. I'm glad I did all my leveling. I feel bad for Red Dawn.

Funny they make a change like this in the same post about how you can't complain about the state of the server. What a joke.
