Finding a group can be a pain at times (it's part of the game), but there's another half of EQ classes that CANNOT EVEN SOLO.

I did, you needlessly bitter fellow. I played an Iksar warrior on live from the launch of Kunark till SoF, it was damn hard, especially since they couldn't wear plate, not even Kunark plate! I too was jealous of pet classes but I consoled myself with the fact that in this wonderful game each class has its own strengths and weaknesses, drawbacks and compensations.

Pet classes can solo, they can also be crushed like a tube of paste. They can also have a hard time getting a group being one of many of the choices in the "big bag of dps". Nec's in the lower levels don't have very many group friendly spells, they can snare yes, but they do no real damage besides the pet as most mobs die before their dots can be of much use.

EQ's classes aren't all the same and that is what makes it EQ.

As a rogue, I think this whole Mage/Chanter/Necro situation is hilarious, as I had to group from level 11 to 50. With that said, I understand both sides of the argument. I think these classes will learn to adapt. I don't anyone will argue they had it really good for a long time, and now are being brought in line with the rest of the game. No one said this game is easy, if that were the case you'd never see a Troll SK.

Looks like this patch nerfed XP but also gave you the tools to fix it. Just group with another mage and level more than 500 distance away from each other. No XP penalty and no sharing XP.

I have not tested this yet though it could just make half the XP that would goto group member vanish.

If it had a proper reasoning behind it, I could see.

It just doesn't with afk leveling bannable, or at the very least, punishable now.

1dmg is immensely more logical. If the pet does 100% of the damage I can agree with a 50% nerf, albeit grudgingly. It would be better if one heal would also negate the 50% nerf as well.

i shall be expecting a rage post (one such as wooly) when they discover your little exploit (afk grinding with 2 wizards...not just one) and ban you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is fucking stupid , it was never like this. some of us slow mobs , buffs pets and let them do most the work so this entirely screws people over who are trying to enjoy this server and follow the rules ..... if this is how you handle problems rather than working to take care of the problem properly then im out. thank you for the server but im not wasting my time playing to be hosed. Id rather pay the $15 and know my charater is fine and wont have issues lvling

Aaron · #47 02-18-2010, 01:23 PM

Haha, someone always cries and claims to leave the server after patch day.

Just like Classic EQ [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I do think that this is a change that isn't necessary, unless it was always like this (and I don't believe it was).

Aaron · #49 02-18-2010, 01:28 PM

Like I said, if it's to stop afk leveling, this isn't the way to do it. As well, it doesn't affect me much so I won't spend many posts protesting it.

bai bai so long have a nice life!

im sure this server wont miss someone who cant simply read an entire thread before posting his stupid thoughts [You must be logged in to view images.

or another SIMPLE SOLUTION is finding someone, being social, and grouping [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] WHAT!?!?! THATS PREPOSTEROUS!!!
