Next step towards rebounding the server.

Dear kind staff,

the changes made recently to xp rates and adding global ooc have brought back
some players including myself. I think the next step towards rebounding the population
and eliminating the 1 guild snooze fest is enabling some "hot zones" for the 1-45 crowd
to help them catch up faster and to funnel pvp down so it still occurs.

Any zones would be acceptable we all know the good ones and i trust the staff
to make the call on that but if you would like to see hotzones or like me as a person
please sign this petition thanks =D

great for a lot of reasons A+++

[Tombom]

thank you good pal, it is clear you care for your fellow players

[chuckina22]

As a fellow returning player, I stand alongside this idea. We could easily be seeing group vs group pvp for camp spots.

I'm 26 and I've yet to see any pvp on this pvp server asides from feeble attempts to gank by Soldier and his other pally twinks.

[heartbrand]

It's just so obv this needs to be done. I remember a month or two ago on my warrior when I was trying to level, we made a full group, had a hybrid or two, and went to guk. I was getting about one blue tick per 5-6 kills. After an hour I had gotten about two blue bubbles of exp. This was a non-hell level. God help people who want to sit through that.

[Tombom]

it pains my heart to see paladins picking on the young like that, they should be CCing geared bluetard baddies until they quit, not hurting young redlings.

Then you weren't pulling fast enough because my groups get way more exp than that even at level 60. Two blue bubbles is 8%. How can someone get only 8% exp in an hour unless they are the baddest of bads? The problem is you.

[Truth]

I'm inclined to acquiesce to your request. Potentia Dei fiat.

[taakyn]

Point on post. Upping xp rates would 100% boost population. Everyone knows it.... Make it happen lord Rogaine

eliminating the 1 guild snooze fest

Try making a second guild, which is alrdy done, FF and Holoscrubs merged

Edit: 8hrs in fear, draco still up, thanks for double belts

[Dacuk]

Hot zone is a great idea. definitely would support this.

It's the hybrid penalty, rain man.

People came to the PvP server to PvP, not get 60 on a PvE server.

[Hovis]

It's the hybrid penalty and overall terrible exp rates, rain man.

Merged? only 4 holo dumb enough to still waste time on this server...

[Tassador]

game has definately lost most of its mustard. i dont even nuke under cons anymore because what if they were to rage quit.
pvp is dangerous when pop is at 33heads. could you imagine if the lions started killing each other in 15mins the species would be extinct.

[Uthagain]

Lions do kill each other. So do black rhinos*, with the highest mortality rate of any animal. Even they don't give a fuck that they're going (went*) extinct. Why be a trendsetter?

[Tassador]

are white rhinos peaceful?

[SamwiseRed]

wasnt madude blood money? has anyone NOT been accepted into Nilly?

[Lazortag]

Even with the hybrid penalty you should not be getting only 8% of a level's worth of exp in an hour. Even a full group of troll SK's shouldn't be that slow. This would mean every level takes 12.5 hours, and getting to level 50 takes roughly 26 days, which we all know is untrue. Either red players don't know how to exp efficiently, or Heartbrand is purposely exaggerating how bad the problem is, or Heartbrand just doesn't know basic math.

Don't be a black rhino, hotzones will bring all sorts of savanah pals to the watering hole

[Tradesonred]

Yes hotzones is a good idea.

But who the fuck will want to go there and get pwned by twinked zergs and lose xp in pvp...

Not fresh noobs i can tell you that. Oh they will go there for sure at first, then get irritated and probably quit.

Just like raid zones, the biggest guild will dominate the best zones by sheer numbers

:cool:

Xp loss in pvp is the biggest problem for server, close second is the community

you raise an interesting point but really if newbs show up and make a few friends,
twinks won't stand a chance. Gotta have pals, gotta have balls, and most of all
you have to hate yourself just that little bit, to keep on grinding. This is the
greatest community in any mmo and any other answer is wrong.

we'd have to give props to sony i guess, but glad we are on the same page =D

[Seaweedpimp]

Im usually the one wanting nothing but a classic experience, but hotzones would be a great idea for the red server.

I know theres blue players who miss the hotzones from live, definately would add to the population, maybe even bring a few EZ players around for a while too.


I would like to see, with the current EXP rates, A few hotzones offering a 10 - 20% experience modifier. Would also like to see an EXTRA 5-10% PVP EXP death increase in these areas. ( Please fucking god dont change loot tables on the mobs inside hotzones )

Hmm... what else..

[Seaweedpimp]

Would it be a good idea to add a full pvp lvl range inside hotzones? Just a few?


I like this idea.

[Tombom]

honestly i think 10-20 is too low, 50 or up would make it worth it for travel and risk,

deffff do not touch loot or ANYTHING aside from the xp mod in said zones.

[Seaweedpimp]

Not so sure if id want it any higher than 25%.

50% is just too much.
