Title: Anyone else noticing. . . .
Post by: Ummn on July 12, 2010, 12:33:10 pm
Anyone else noticing the increase in people camping all LDoN bosses for more than a fair share of pages? I just made a new char and getting 2.0 took 5 runs level 1-6 over the course a a week b/c every time at least, AT LEAST, 1 boss had like 7 people sitting around and you ask. "how many you guys need?" and get a response  "uhhhh 5 more, so another hour and 15 minutes!."  I tend to just skip past and then usually run into another one of these group somewhere along the line.  When i was starting out with my duo i never camped 2 pages at a time i ran through 2 times! more tokens more chances for cards and more loots all around. 


Don't really have an idea on how to fix it! just wanting to vent b/c its frustrating and annoying and BLAH!!!!!


Thanks for reading and add to this if you notice the same or have a decent idea on how to fix it.

I sit on the same side of the fence as with the FG/CG overcamping issue: Don't instance, spread out the camps.

A second set of public LDoN 1-6 (plenty of maps to use, assuming the database is populated) would account for the spike in population better than allowing every shmoe to have a private instance.

I haven't run through LDoN in the past week or so, but for the most part I only found the last 2 floors camped by non-page farmers.

I may've just been lucky, though.

Not in LDoN but I saw it at Master of Weaponry. I was waiting on friends to help me get a book when 2 full groups and 3.0 War show up at the same time.

My buddy asks the other groups "How many books you after?"

Someone from the other party replies "Twelve"

 :D

As much as it sux, it is the persons right to camp it as many times as they need. It is the way of every mmorpg that I have ever seen.

Yeah, MoW is definitely a bottleneck right now. Luckily we have Guild instancing, but in larger guilds it can still be a bit of a wait.

Same with Terrorantula/Quillmane, though not so bad.

I was sitting on MoW last night for 2-3 hours but I never had anyone come up and ask me how many I needed.  Most everyone I saw either came in and just sat there or came in and immediately created a guild instance.  I knocked out a bunch of 2.0's finally and even though it took me a while to get the hang of the fight, it finally paid off.

Yeah he can, which was why I just came back the next day and got a book. I was just glad the guy responded and told me straight up how many he was after. Saved me a lot of wasted time checking back in.

Yeah, not responding is just totally being a douche. As far as not being able to speak english as a defense, it should be a requirement to play on the server.

I had this issue in Plane of Time before they opened up instancing.  One person with their 6 other characters would camp it.  Took forever to get all the pages.

Why not instance? That would fix the problem better then making more camps. Making more camps = 2 camps people can complain about then just 1. Sure it could be more zones to explore (which is always fun) but isn't worth it over just instancing.

I wouldnt say its more then a fair share.
They got there, happened to have a few boxs and need pages.
Sucks really bad but just move on and come through later.

I am dreading my new characters 3 of them and its going to take 7 3.0's
