I have a G-15 so I'll play around with some macro shit. Pressing a single button to release the mouse isn't that bad, I wish simply clicking the window would re-inbed it though. Mac based stuff is so senselessly counter intuitive. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Made a mage. Tried to solo a single mob (have no pet, and only training robe).

10 deaths. Never came close to killing a level 1 mob.

Conclusion = its not a server for me. What a craptastic experience.

wat

level 1 was rough for me but not THAT rough

what race did you roll?

Made a dark elf mage. Unable to kill a single mob. Using shielding buff too.

Sad. My kung fu is pretty weak if I am unable to solo a level 1 mob in a 15 year old elf sim. I did plan to box. Just not at level 1.

nektulos is brutal for a newbie zone. always sorta has been.

north qeynos went okay for me with my two box crew (necro/paladin). level one did indeed take a long time. level two went a bit better, especially once my paladin's Offense and Defense skills started going up a bit. after level 3 things were a breeze. i'm level 16 on both chars now. would be higher than that even but i took the time to do all the newbie armor quests for my paladin.

before level 4 even cons and yellow cons were really tough to do, but doable with some really ghetto kiting tactics. now i can kite yellows and low reds okay. and my paladin can tank even cons or lower just fine.

Ya, it's where I call home. I made a few tweaks to my strategy. I can kill stuff fine now, just not fast.

However. I get packet loss and disconnected a lot.

They really need to rework some of the net code looks like.

Remember the packet loss days of dalaya? /cm refresh, anyone?

Server has potential.

And seeing 50's running around on a week old server? Full of neckbeards too.

^ This just killed ANY and ALL motivation I had for trying out this server.

Mobs did seem a little mean to me in FoB...but i was 3 boxing so it was not as noticeable. That and i was smart enough not to roll a mage! =p

Currently playing an ikky beastlord. I've died well over 20 times so far. Hit level 2 and I've probably got a 30% chance to beat a white for like 8-9% xp, or I can resort to sorta doing well vs level 1s for 1% xp a kill.

It's kind of unreal and something's gotta be broken. On p99 I can run out as a level 1 ikky and tank like 3-4 level 1s and be fine. People said to try other places than FoB but all of the starter zones I've been to have been no different.

I need to get to 9 so I can ball out with my pet.

Everfrost was easy on my lvl 1 guy. Decaying Skeletons dropping like flies.
