Vocal minority? I see like 15 people post this toxic shit all over the forum. That's not a minority, that's almost half the red player base.

Also, no item loot = not classic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Jokes about red's population are all well and good, but regardless, 15 really is a minority. Besides, half of the people trolling on the red forums don't even play on the server anymore.

Red's community is, overall, pretty good. Like I said, I used to be the biggest red hater around, but now I've been playing on red for months. You just have to try it with an open mind and not let other people ruin what you want to do on there. Ignore the trolls, be ready for a little bit of "grief" and know how to let it roll off your back, don't let exaggerations from haters sway you, etc.

Haynar: Mob runspeed revamp to be more accurate to classic. Speeds will also vary with changing HP more like classic was.

This seems to cause an issue while quadding in TD, if mobs get lower health than others their speed change makes the group begin to break up. Don't remember this being an issue on live, but I could be wrong.

If that's the case, not classic. I quadded a lot on live back then, and mobs always ran the same base speed if they were after a player, regardless of health.

Confirmed, I saw that quadding raptors, at low health the run-speed changed which broke apart the quad. This is definitely not classic as I experienced it. Same behavior happened in DL with drolvargs.

At least one of the centaurs (named one IIRC) in there has always been exceptionally fast. Was it that?

i can agree the new mob runspeed is much farther from classic than before this patch. take it from a kiting bard, we know our runspeeds down to the millimeter. these mobs are too fast. it seemed pretty dang close to classic before, but at the moment kiting is almost impossibru

I thought I remembered the devs saying there would also be a 100% static bonus exp for every level 1- 60 on red before the group bonus... but I don't see any mention of that in the notes. Did that bonus not get added in?

[Dirtynads]

Tried to Quad Spirocs in TD was a major fail...couple mobs resisted and all 4 broke up at diff speeds. I would agree that kiteing is almost impossible atm.

There is a 50% bonus before group bonus. Exp bonus is insane, do you really need more?
