Project 1999 - Do not allow gnoll fangs to drop if killed by a level 18 and above

Do not allow gnoll fangs to drop if killed by a level 18 and above

Can we just have this silliness stopped? Why cant a level 7 go into Black burrow and have a good time, expecting to have a few mobs to kill? Instead we have to contend with level 18 plus peeps wiping the zone in search of the gnoll fang. Or higher level folks grouping with their buddies and wiping the zone, letting the lower level person loot.

This isn't Live where people don't care about the community any longer. Making people log because there is nothing to kill can't be described as community friendly behavior.

Just nerf the damn things so that they don't drop if a level 19 or higher was on the hate list at the time of death.. or to be a bit more friendly, dont let it drop if the level 19 made the kill.

if (mob is blue) && (Character.Level > 18) then
Fang.DropChance = 15
Else
Fang.DropChance = 0
End if

Every day I am in BB its the same crap, and its tiresome

If its been said before, sorry. I am just aggravated by it.

Yeah I know I can fight somewhere else. Yeah I know I can log on a different guy. but the point is, why should I have to? If there are 7 people in the entire zone, there should be mobs to kill, I would hope.

Not classic - thank you, come again.

They nerfed the bard mail quest (used to be able to get a full level at L1, and with more cash).

They nerfed the scorpion pincer quest a couple of days after Kunark launched. I'm not convinced it was ever that broken during Kunark but I can't find prof :(

Why not nerf the BB fang quest? Give the zone back to the lowbies.

Just increase spawn rate to 30 seconds on all gnolls. Then everyone can play in the zone.

Taking away the exp is one thing but people should always be able to get the faction hits from the turn ins

-shrug-

I'd be ok if they nerfed all those high XP hand-ins. Belts, shoulderpads, gnollfangs, lightstones, etc. Maybe only allow a character to do a quest/hand-in once. Get rid of all the MQ sellers.

Sure it's neat to get a full level by handing in 4-5 items to an NPC, but I'd be happier if it was set up to give you a piece of useful gear, or some good money.

But that's not classic. :D

Want faction hits? Heal a lowbie. Kill a gnoll that is past 50% if the player killing it does not have a DS. kill the level 13+ mobs in there that will give you exp.
I am saying take away the farming of gnoll teeth.. If mobs do not yield exp, do not let them drop.

Its crap to deal with level 22 douches farmin gnoll teeth.. yes level 22

This is an amazing XP quest for level 5 up to level 12 or so.

its good till lvl 12
i started getting a little under a blue at 12
but if u have someone go into BB and slay those
dirty gnolls and you loot fangs, you can get from
level 1 to 12 in no time(just take an empty bag
need like 7-12 stacks,but they drop like flys(1 ever kill or 2))

Quote:

at level 8, for every 4 fangs i turned in, i gained a full yellow xp bubble! i am going to gather as many as possible to see what the xp is like at level 9.

Quote:

i hardly get any exp from this quest at level 9. to be honest i didnt get any noticable exp at level 6

Great for raising faction and selling stouts, but noticed almost no exp from this quest at level 6. :)

Sounds like level 12-20 getting good exp is a bug.

Trivial loot code sucks.
