Thats 2.2 blues from a single pvp death at 24.

Hmm wtf cant link images?

your screenshot does not show anything that happened. you could have died to a mob or died on the other side of a zone to dots etc. i died once in pvp thus far to wand spam in my 20s and only lost a tenth of a blue, everyone else i have spoken to thus far has reported the same thing.

Right but who cares, i know im not lying, so anyone that is 24 can repeat the same process and come up with the exact same results. As ive said though i got the last hit on that kill so that might register as a PVE death. Im trying to find someone to kill me atm...

Ok fuck the screenshot but trust me on this, its 3 notches at 24.

So about 2 dark blue kills solo.

So if you do a pvp session of 4 hours and die say, 10 times. Thats 20 dark blues you need to solo just to get back where you were on the pve grind. Thats ALOT to me.

Before you say 10 times noob, thats alot of deaths dont die youre bad blablab... its only 2 deaths per hour, and 2 out of 4 hours where you died 3 times.

Thats really not alot of dying compared to the death fest that was Rallos, and you can be expected to die alot more than that if you do nothing but pvp for 4 hours straight.

3 notches is a lot different than 2.5 bubbles, and 3 notches really isn't shit

[Darwoth]

i died maybe 5 times in several years on rallos, and less than that on sullon. everquest is not counterstrike, not supposed to throw your corpse into the crowd and rush back to do it again.

edit: also 3 notches is less than a single blue solo kill for anyone that isnt something like a troll shadowknight, dark blue solo kill generally yields a half a blue or more until 30+

I already said i was wrong. I get about 1.5 notches as a 24 troll Shaman on dark blue mobs.

Losing a full yellow at 24 for 5 pvp deaths is just plain ridiculous to me, im playing EQ pvp to pvp, not to run from it because its "SO HARDC0RZ" that i need a zerg crew to want to do it because the PVE grind sting is fantabulous.

Maybe you are right and i am wrong, and im complaining for nothing, i dont understand the niche etc...

But i really think this is killing my fun, which i thought was going to be doing long pvp sessions. For if this is true for what percentage of the server, i guess well know when we take a look at the pop in 2 months from now.

Im already bored, cant guerilla pvp on my way up to 50 because of the xp loss and dont see the point in grinding hard to 50 just to have fun with alt twinks when people run and plug from pvp.

this is as good of a place as any to ask this question as it sort of pertains to tis discussion...

does anyone group on this server outside of guilds?

every time I have /ooc or /shout it has went almost completely unanswered, it seems like everyone just solos for fear of getting killed, is everyone just going to solo up to 50 and join a raid guild? what is the deal here?

We both have one thing in common - immediate regret upon purchasing tribes ascension beta access.

Unless you didnt purchase, in which cause I'm the only moron here.
