EZ Server

Now you can get level 71-75 by hailing the Level_Up NPC in Nexus.

They will be automatically leveled up to a level based on your flags.

T1/T2 = Level 71
T3/T4 = Level 72
T5 = Level 73
T6 = Level 74
T7 = Level 75

Strike Augs, Shield of Ages, and Mana Necklace will now have new level requirements.

If all goes well, then will make essences and augments tradeable again soon.

^^^^^^^ Ya what he said!!!!! ^^^^^^^^

Seems to have messed up the teleporter for flags.. a lot of red when hailed and unable to zone into T6 but all the others seem to work

nm reboot fixed I guess

FG/CG trainers won't train you once you level up. They say "You must be level 70 to train" even though my character was level 75. Just an FYI Hunter.

Do I need the T7 flag to be 75 or am i missing somthing? Takes me to lvl 74?

I'm flagged for T5 but only get level 73. Above says 74. I'm confused.

You must be flagged for T7 to be 75. Work down from there

This is closer to what everyone will understand.


T1/2 = Level 71
T3/4 = Level 72
T5 = Level 73
T6 = Level 74
T7 = Level 75

I fixed my original post. Was over tired when I wrote it.

This was a great solution to the aug problem.   Really makes sense and lets a players power scale up.    Also, it is nice to be able to spend some aas again.


Hunter, get some rest man, you don't want the flu to relapse due to exhaustion.

Heh sleep you crazy bastard. We've both seen firsthand the whacky mistakes made by sleep deprivation. (Like the poor necromancers when I accidentally set their stonewall buff to +750% damage taken and 10hp per tick instead of -10% damage taken and +750 hp per tick....)

-Hate

Not sure if this has been brought up already but what about the effect on exp?  Its obviously slower in Anguish.

PoFire-HoH-T5-T6-T7 can really see a decrease in Exp.

+1

I brought up PoFire to hunter yesterday when the changes happened because it seemed like I was getting less xp. I then ran a level 70 and noticed xp was about the same. Didn't really have conclusive data to prove that true or not. But he said the values for XP are set , meaning to me anyway, you could be level 200, you would still get the same aa xp. (that was an over-dramatic level increment) but you get the point.

I did a quick test at level 70 and 75 killing a level 70 npc.

Did this in cshome where probably not much exp bonus in the zone.

1,286,249 exp gained towards aa when I was level 70
1,157,624 exp gained twoards aa when I was level 75

So yeah, seems that there is less exp at level 75. Maybe 10% less?

Maybe now that your a higher level you can kill faster! So maybe the over all exp rate will be faster!

Sorry, bad joke. Honestly, don't know what to do or say. Yeah, some stuff might be affected.

Got an email that some focus effects work on spells up to level 70. I think that are spells that are level 70, not players that are level 70. Could be wrong.

We'll work out some tweaks with the new level cap. Just keep me posted and stuff.

Well, my suggestion with the XP hunter would be to just increase the level on the mobs or something a tad. It wouldn't hurt to try and would balanced the aa xp properly and functioning back to normality.

The only unintended consequence with this which I did think about is if someone chose not to level up and at level 70 kill in pofire, they would obviously get a tad more aa xp, but I couldn't imagine it being a game breaking mechanic.

Thanks for looking into this ! ;D
as for the guy that didn't level up his augs wouldn't fire right anyway... but it would just be a hair higher then normal nothing gamebreaking if they were able too

This might be a stupid question, but I'm out of town and won't be able to access my toon for a month. Do I have to worry about losing my strike augs since I won't be the correct level for them until I get back?

EXP: Yes you gain less exp at lvl 75 because stuff is now even con to you so you lose the "bonus" exp you were getting for it being higher lvl when you were lvl 70.

Item loss: No your item wont go poof, This has been stated several times already. Have you ever known an item you couldnt meet the level req for to go poof? Instead it wont work.

Focus Effects: Should not be effected since they work on spell level and not player level. IE 40% focus up to lvl 70 spells and decrease by X% for each spell level higher until focus is 0%.

about the XP the counts said 10% but i can tell ya what ever i get from mobs at level 70 and now on 75!

The Abyss solo XP 231% / one in grp 161% / two in grp 111% /// +-1% ( level 70 )
The Abyss solo ----------- / one in grp 105% / two in grp 73% /// +- 1% / level 75 )

looks more as 10% to me!!! if u want try it out ! ! ! HoH full clear is now to 50AAs lower as befor

faster kills hmm old hits 640k now 660k hmm not really much more okay full clear now 5mins faster as befor ?

And what about better tanking ?

I'm not very aware of EQ mechanics, but when i started playing it five years ago on Emu, my friends (they played live from the beginning) told me this about tanking :
"AC is King and Level is God".

Whith that sentence in mind, I assume we are tanking better at 70+ than at 70 ... Am I wrong ?

the is a custom server with custom stats...
the new levels really don't give / do a lot in those means..

and no we aren't killing faster..


Lets be patient I'm sure Hunter will bump xp or mob lvl or find some ez fix..

Or we'll get used to it as is. It's a small price to pay to have augs and essences tradable again.

aye

+1

I third this. I'd much rather spend an extra 5 minutes killing a few more mobs to make up the XP loss than never be able to trade my essences and augs.

I'd like to see T5 named be bumped to 80 or something so they con differently from trash.

Pretty please? :D

+1
OMG YES

Good idea. +1

Hunter,

Aug 1's (FS1, IS1, and NS1) are currently not No Drop.   Is this by design or was this an oversight?    




Peign

I think they have always been that way.

I believe at one time they were No Drop.    They are tradeable now.

No they have been no drop. the only way to trade one of them from the Crafter guild character to another is to grab some tacvi ess and make it a lvl 2.

Doesnt appear to be the case now.   No indication of them being No Drop.   I have not tried trading them as I wanted to see if this was a bug first.

I misread. Last I remember they were no trade, didn't know they had been changed and misread your post.

yeah i think we were all confused. They are tradable now? cool im going to give all my alts the lvl 1's just in case haha

I would wait to hear something from bossman about this .... seems to good to be true.
would hate for him to retroban a buncha non CG flagged toons for having lvl1 augs.

I noticed this a bit ago and got all my second group lvl 1 augs. to help while running them through the tiers. Hopefully if there is a chance of a ban there will be some warning to destroy them before that takes place.

I can't imagine he cares or just hasn't read my email lol. I emailed him about 2 weeks ago about it and no response or whether it was intended or not so no way to know for sure.

My email does get spammed, sorry if I miss them.

Strike Augs I was intended to be no drop from Crafters Guild. There was a short time they were tradeable by accident. Your meant to have Crafters Flag to start the Aug Recipe.
