Changelog 13/09/16

[Jaycub]

People wouldn't be so salty and toxic in arena if leveling didn't suck :^)

I have a feeling it's gonna be even worse now as the next best spot that I know of anyways is a crossfaction spot in BC with tons of squigs, on top of KSing you are gonna have gank sqauds and all the extra salt that comes with it.

Champ farming spots in BC and KV also gonna be oversaturated now as well.

A lot of people just want to get to T4, lower tiers can be fun (if populated which often times they arent) for someone coming back to the game on their first character. But I think for most vet players t1-3 is just some boring grind were they go through the motions to get to the "real" game.

Nice update!

T1 is great, T2 is iffy, T3 is PL time!

I always feel so giddy when I see a good dozen tickets I post getting fixed, thanks for the awesome job as usual devs <3

A vague ETA on when you'll be able to start scripting things?

[Jaycub]

feel free to stop rerolling and enjoy the characters you have at 40

and they are salty and toxic because they want everything for themselves and not to share.

It's not just me, we recently rolled destro and literally everyone needed to be PLed and this was staggered over weeks. Otherwise half of these guys wouldnt even bother to play becuase t2-3 is ghosttown when they play.

As for the sharing thing, why would anyone take a gigantic hit to their xp/h for some rands they don't even know? I know that sounds really edgy, but i'd rather be done pling someone in 2 hours instead of 4 or 5 even if it means being a douchebag in the arena on my magus so be it.


If we can catch someone at a good time we can usually get them to 32 in about 3 hours, now if they had to level normally we probably wouldn't see them in T4 where they could play with us in weeks. You can also get someone to 28 in 2 hours and just let them get full ruin and level 32 then carry them in scenarios, by the time they are 40 they have full merc/ruin both sc weps and almost RR 40.

We have to powerlevel because there is no one in lower tiers and there is no one in lower tiers because we powerlevel.

I would wait a bit to see how populated the tiers are after the change, if this paired with the rvr exp buff makes people go to orvr in lower tiers, its fantastic.

Even if that makes the people who want to only play t4 sadly i would much rather have a healty lower tiers than a way to get to 40 fast.

There are better places to farm xp I haven't used arena in a while.

There are better places to farm xp I haven't used arena in a while.

Then there's no issue as far as I can tell; lest you share the location of this majestic leveling spot to the rest of your guildies

[Jaycub]

I wasn't ranting about arena, rather that the toxic behavoir will just now move elsewhere to the next established PL spot, whether that be BC squigs, trolls, KV trolls, Reikland training grounds etc...

If that is something that legitimately concerns people than more changes along the lines of 3x XP for t2-3 quests need to happen. NA T4 around 10 central drops under 100 ppl and RvR just can't even function and in order to increase the population there people need to actually be able to level to t4 but when there is literally 15 people in t2/3 there is not much incentive for them to play. Triple xp questing and PvE is still a tiny fraction of the amount of XP you get pling which still takes quite a while and would constitute a major time investment for most casual or new players to the server, time spent doing unfun things that is.

So seing the NPC Close to the Sacellum dungon now have the quest and mobs removed for easier acess to the dungeons does that mean it's close??
