Have tried both of the lower lvl expeditions and it dosent seem to want to create them.  Might be time to reboot the server.

Thanks!

This server is a grind. Making things less of a grind so you can then proceed to the next grind dosent make sense.

IMO the buffs are the problem. People don’t really get a chance to learn how to do things the hard way, and when they are less effective things seem harder then they actually are.

I'm looking at it from a lower level perspective.  I'm, currently, level 73 and not always there to get buffs from higher level players (Thanks, Lillya, Samatron, Meat, and others who share buffs).  Any amount of hp buffs helps.  Even if it's 1/3 the amount that Armor of the Crab gives.  Just a suggestion...

The higher lvl buffs are a crutch.  Learn to do without them or create your own buff group.  It will help in the long run.

Would rather not have another buff to worry about.  Chances are if our HP get raised, the mobs damage/HP just get scaled up.

If the FG/CG takes you weeks your doing it wrong...at most it should take you 3-6 hours total for a full group.

The FG/CG is a filter, and not the last one.  If this is too much of a grind, this is probably not the server for you.

Took me over 700 to get all of it for my tank, though I did get a few duplicates.

Sarnaks are hitting while still very far away. They hit for 4k which adds up while they are being trained.
Orc plagueknights and bassilisk are still insanely fast. They are about as fast as the gnoll assassins before you fixed it.

Also I've had the Insane Goblin Familiar buff wear off mid pull even tho the buff said it still had 4h still on it. It turned my puller into instant swiss cheese.

Yeah gonna have to echo the long distance attack on the Sarnaks.

These are not even needed (for anyone other than tank/knight classes) until t10. If someone is just starting out by halloween, or when they enable halloween event, can get one easily. This is kinda silly imo

 Im sorry I did not follow you there, what was silly about starting a conversation about the cost of a specific item? I would also counter that the additional hp and mitigation provided by the pet specifically early on in the lower tiersof the game ,were it easily adds 2x 3x or more hp to your tank.  Would be of extreme value and that  the pet buff actually begins to lose value in the top tiers as the hp part of the buff is barely passing a single gear piece.( Yes it does add significantly to the mitigation needed in the top tiers, but im speaking of the 'value' of the complete IG pet buff and sooner is certainly better then later on a progression timeline.

The topic it self isn't silly.  The fact that you have SO much opportunity through the year to get it for free, hence the thread is kinda pointless. In lower tiers the mitigation you get from the self-buffs is proficient to tank the content. HECK with the super buffs being pumped out of Nexus every hour is enough to be a leg up to ANY new player w/o ANY mitigation!

Have you even read what i posted orthanos? Or just see a opportunity to try and sound smart? Idc about how strong it is and the fact you keep saying how often it can be obtained for free just proves my point it should be lowered. 200 credits just seems excessive for something thats free and as you say "not really needed"

In my experience if you keep pushing, all your gonna achieve is that they will remove the thing from the credit vendor all together...

Yeah I remember it was that way on live, but im wondering if it wasnt here, and EMU code was changed to be more live like.

Tobin

did things change in the way mobs do damage from behind?  It seems like even mobs that dont BS, chew me up if I dont position them in front.  Didnt seem like a problem before.

Tobin

Orc plagueknight & Orc Basilisk were always faster then the other orcs, but I could keep ahead of them.

As for the sarnaks, I can tank far more then I can pull because I die on the way back to my group.

Tobin

Ok so as far as combat.  DPS seems a good bit better.  No complaints there lol

Taking damage needs to be scaled back a bit I think.  I have a UC3 Pally in my group, and a cleric/druid/shaman healing me out of group.  Full Orc T10 gear, with about 7 Million HPs and 78% Shield wall.  Pulling 3 mobs at the orc camp I was spiking down to 36%.  Pulling 6 wiped me in a few seconds.  ATM on prod I can take 7-8 with no problems, and 9-10 in a pinch.

Tobin

Akk, what else needs testing at this point?  I should be able to log on tonight if there is anything pending.

Tobin

My only feedback is this is clearly someone that didnt even look at the beginners guide or the wiki.  There is enough about this server that even an experianced vet should take a look.

Throughout the CUSTOM content on this server are filter points.  This was one of them.  Bye

Looks like the flagging process isnt working with the new epic type.

I only tested with going from 77 to 78, but I got a blank response from the LUW when I used the new aug, but it worked fine when I converted it back to the original aug.  Chars name is Kevice if you want to look at logs.  Time stamp was 11:51 to 11:54 is MST.
