How hard is Velious, really?

[webrunner5]

Well it might not be TOO bad but a lot of people are going to give up soloing for awhile that's for sure till they get better gear, spells etc. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Which I personally see as a good thing don't get me wrong.

Basically imagine Kunark but with frostbite. Ever tried to game with cold fingers? Exactly.

9/10 monks die pulling Lord Dirigible because they stop to type his name.

Many other problems.

Why oh why do we have FOUR words in the english language for a blimp?

C'mon guys, you know them!

It'd be a huge mistake to allow Donal's on the server for even a second after Velious launches.

please nerf. I would hate to see immediately trivial content

[Orruar]

Most Velious content is pretty trivial on a stable server. The hardest part about keeping a tank alive back in 2001 was dealing with the inevitable lag spike + subsequent tank death. This server is far more stable and people have much more practice in maintaining a ch chain. The only real challenge will be fights where ch chains are difficult to maintain due to fear/gflux/etc.

i imagine our ddosing friends will be around at velious launch to help with the classic lag experience

[Tecmos Deception]

That seems like a really good point, Orruar.

Very well put

[Oleris]

I remember that necros become useful due to the longer encounters. Can't wait [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Avatar of War is first and foremost, a test of keeping a warrior alive. If that warrior isn't damn near decked out in velious armor, he will be one rounded by a flurry (and AoW flurries a LOT).

After that it's just a matter of endurance (Cleric Mana) vs dps.

Edit: Oh, and killing before you run out of geared warriors with defensive disc lolol
