I know they have guild banks in the hidden Forrest, so it should be possible to do it here on ez

I was working on my seventh UW XI when i took my latest hiatus.

I've seen Moe 4 f*cking times.

Team l337 can calm the hell down and let the middle class suggest rare triggers in t5 could be looked at.

Once upon a time the hushed banquest (2.5 epic) was by far the worst thing on the server. People would park in the first safe room and kill those 4 barrels on side screen for days.  The rate eventually was increased considerably.

I suppose the most important thing to remember is we are talking about a math formula. Do they need to kill 100 War Boars for Widowmaker, or 100,000? The difficulty is certainly not in killing the mob, its in getting kicked in the nuts on the proverbial dice roll.

It was the reason the t5 mini was such a nice thing. Bring that thing back by any means, I dont care if its an IP Lock, a station name lock, whatfreakingever. Just any way those poor shmucks get 5 free swings a day to nab a rare. It would be great because that mini makes that tier worlds less frustrating by lessening the impact of some of the "chance" elements.

And yes, the amusing part about that is not a single one of the high and mighty will even PRETEND that the guy in t5 *cant* kill the bosses. We're simply saying they didn't deserve it without the 100,000 kills.  There's a place for people who think that way. It's called p99, get on a batphone list and deprive people of content to your heart's content.

 EZ wasnt built that way. It was built to be easy at times. It was built to be hard at times. And it had a perfect marriage of higher crews helping lower crews in a format where both the haves and the have nots benefited from teaming up. In fact, the only way not to help someone is here:

On these forums.

In this thread.

And to remind us why so many are on hiatus instead of in a non-instanced t10 next to people...

Who think like you.

Holy shit thank you bro....I love this post.

Im coming off sounding bitter and I am not. I enjoy the content that this server provides and appreciate the time that went into it. I also respect the older players that add their feedback. I was just adding my two cents, coming from a different perspective, one closer to what a new person would experience when joining the server. Obviously there are many players on this server with more experience than me, and maybe I am wrong. I just get annoyed when I feel like I am being singled out because I gave an opinion on something, when the whole point of the thread was to hear opinions. I might not be t7+ or whatever, but does that mean my game experience and observations are wrong? Ok people disagree and thats fine, my issue comes when I feel like people feel that unless you are of a certain tier, than you have to shut up and allow the adults to talk, its condescending. Maybe Im reading into things wrongly, and if I am, then I apologize. Like I said, I dig your posts you have helped me personally on a lot of stuff, so I respect the help you give and the time you spent making things easier for people to navigate. Maybe when I get passed t5 Ill know what you mean, but being a somewhat casual player with limited playing hours I doubt ill get past t5 any time soon to find out.

You can call me Soakked, jarrad was long ago retired. Yes I have played t5, I was just starting out t5 before I left a few years back (not on this character), and it was one of the reasons I left. Listen I dig your posts, and your value to this forum, I know I have benefited from it, but the reason you gave for not tweeking boss pop rates is that it would trivialize content. Did I mistaken your post? I know theres a learning curve and you can learn a lot from the experience but again it not a difficulty issue, its a too much of a grind issue. I have no problems with mobs, or bosses, im geared enough. How does increasing boss spawn rates (not difficulty) on t5 which is mid tier, trivialize content? Did increasing charm rate drops trivialize content, did ROA adjustment trivialize content? Did removing stones from HOH trivialize content? Did removing gems from pre-tier and tier trivialize content? No it didn't, it allowed things to run smoothly and removed unnecessary time sinks. No one is asking for ALL content to be made easier, so your statement doesnt make any sense. How can it be ok for players to ask for t10 adjustments (making things easier) and it be considered not trivializing content, but people asking for adjustments in t5 will? Seems like double standard dont you think? Wouldn't making the last tier on the server easier really trivialize content? Why is it that higher tier players have issues with t5 tweeking, but have no issues with when suggestions of adjustments being done on the tier that they are up to? Surprise surprise.


[q]just needs some tweaks and fixes (and FYI, tweaks do not mean make it easier[/q]

I agree and thats exactly the same thing im saying with t5, but somehow its different. If you read what I wrote, I stated this clearly a few times.

So I'm confused, you got past t5 did that trivalize content for you? The server is on t10, tell me how does increasing boss spawn rate slightly on t5 (mid tier) trivialize all content? Who is asking for all content to be easier? Akk asked for ideas for new content and tweeks, and people responded. For every 9 requests for t10 content tweeks, there's maybe one request for mid tier tweeks. Wouldn't making t10 easier really trivialize content? Am I the only one on the server not on t10? I doubt it, how many players are actually in t10? I bet its a small portion (but seems the most vocal). What about everyone else, do they not count? Sounds very elitist to me, and saying that increasing t5 boss spawn rates (not HP, not DPS, not difficulty) will trivalize content doesn't make sense on a server that is up to t10 with talks t11. I can surely assure you this server will lose a lot of players solely because of t5 sinkhole.

I think people are confusing difficulty with timesink. No one is arguing t5 is hard, just its design can use some tweeks, particularly boss spawn rates. If you are long past t5, why does it matter so much? Just sounds elitist if you ask me.

Yeah for sure, lots of things have gotten easier since I left a few years ago. Charm rates, gear, ROA just to name a few. ROA was a nightmare before lol and so was farming charms. I get the checkpoint, its not the difficulty thats the issue is 100 boss count. But I understand what you are saying. I just thought it would be nice to get new content mid tier.

Yes I'm well aware of it purpose as a bottleneck, but its been years since t5 came out, I believe a re-tweeking is in order or maybe alternative route similar to how tofs is put in to help relieve Ldon farming. Don't get me wrong I don't want anything handed to me, just want to at least enjoy the experience. Grouping with others doesn't happen often, usually everyone wants to join their own instances, and I rather not ride on someone elses coat tails to get boss kills. I'm not saying to do away with t5, just either ease the boss count kills, increase the boss rate pops or have an alternate route. There are other players on this server besides people in t10, it would be nice to have new content for them.

I see mostly suggestions from people in t10 which a a small fraction of the player base (although important part). Being that t10 is the highest tier I would figure it would be the hardest grind. Now t5 is something else entirely, it is mid tier and a grind fest. I find myself dreading it and for the most part have been ignoring it. Not because my toons can't handle it, but rather because it takes hours (at least for me) to clear. Can there be some alternative? Also I noticed that the drops rates for essences is low in tofs levels 2 and 3. I've probably farmed level 2 for a combined 15 hours and had only one drop. CT drops are also a bit out of wack. Can we raise armor drops and lower spell drops? Killing 20 mobs only to get 8 spells drop and one armor drop bites.

I know fixes and new content usually caters to the elite, but it would be nice if mid tier players get some love too. I want to see t6 t7 etc...but as it goes its going to take me months solo to get past t5. I wouldn't mind so much if the zone itself wasn't a pain and the number of bosses tuned down.

I agree with hardcore, I think combining 4 in the magical box like we combine two t3 tokens to make one t4 removes the step and for small army boxers saves time.

EZ Server > Downloads > EZ SERVER FILES

So I get to the page to download Plane of Dragons and Spell Files and I don't see a link to download. Am I missing something?

Not sure if this is too much work or not, but how about using three large zones, one for 70 - t2 for lowbies (zone boss at par with chronos with higher hp), and two t3+ zones for higher end. Mix in some random rare loot (tempered to flag), different mobs and badass bosses and you have yourself a party.

You can also flag restrict to zone. Anyone flagged for t3 cannot participate in 70-t2 event. Should help with the spread, and help eliminate piggy backing.

IMO the most important AA's for a tank are the defensive AA's combat agility, combat stability etc..

They help even more so than any gear you equip at least until you get qvic gear. LDON is going to be tough for you if you are having trouble with potime. If you want to steamroll over content I think the best method is to farm places like Seb, Dulak or Velks for gems make about 50k to 75k and buy a 2.0 run for your necro. After you get 2.0 just ask for help with MOW as he is a bad sucka and most are willing to take him down for free for you. Hit me up if you need help with him.

After that your next course of action would be to get your CG for your necro and finally 2.5. Once you get 2.5 pet you can easily gear your toons and fast track your aa's in places like LDON and QVIC. After getting 2.5 on your necro you have a choice, either get 3.0 on him or get 3.0 on your pally. Both would help you progress tremendously.

Dunno what happened but after the server reboot my pet is able to get buffed. Must have been hard bugged.

Hello everyone,

I finally got my necro 4.0 and am as happy as ever. However I noticed that the raid buff bot in the caster guild does not buff my pet and I dunno why. I have all my aa's (and 2000 points to spare) including pet affinity and had no problems buffing my 3.0 and 3.5 pets.

I tired reloading my pet and I tried relogging, no success.
