High Levels abandoning ship
Apr 29 2010, 1:36 PM EDT | Post edited: Apr 29 2010, 1:36 PM EDT
I have noticed a trend that a lot of high level players are leaving LC. Heard a rumour that it had something to do with a change in the game for those around lvl 140 making it harder or more expensive to lvl. Anyone who can set the record straight? I know of at least 3 high lvls who got miffed off and left. I play on Hatzring. I have noticed in areana its just high levels ruling the roost. Newbie server 5 lol Hardly see any under 95 in there anymore. Do you find this valuable?

Well if you look at the last patches (aka Patch Notes) the patches are for a part of the game that has hardly any players. But they are probably the bread and butter for aeria I guess. Anyway, the last patch made it hard to level now past L140. Some of the high xp quests are not repeatable. Someone said they put more quests on there but again, less xp.

I thought it was the noobs who wanted to level to L100 in a day or two, lol. Aeria's major mistake was having so much xp in the mobs in the tomb. That is where all the trouble started. If they would have kept the xp down, everyone would still be trodding along leveling. But no, they jacked the xp up and all of a sudden you do high level players.

Before you had players all over Dratan leveling on the mobs. Now the whole landscape is deserted. You go to Prokion Temple then hit a few mobs, then to the Tomb area for the mobs around there. Yea, remember it is the Korean Developers who make the game and Aeria just kinds of rents the game. So Aeria can not real change the game per se, except to make suggestions now. But again, we only have Aeria's word as that is what is happening to. I wonder and personally, I do not rely on them being truthful either. Do you find this valuable?

I am possibly the only person that agrees with the nerfing of the quests in mondshine. It was a hard task to get to that map then the moment you're there you are leveling by quest not by grinding and boosters. As I see it the only quests that have been changed xp-wise are the 155+ quests. They have added a whole slew of new ones to take up the hour. Before, you'd finish the 4 daily quests in 15 minutes and sit there wasting potions for 45 mins. Not very productive if you ask me. Now there are a number of quests and each is repeatable once a day. The xp given from the new quests is nothing like the 4 main ones and most people don't even do them. They occupy the whole hour though and that is welcome change to me.

What everyone is miffed about is that it took them 4 months to reduce the xp from the 155 quests after a great number of players went from 155 to 165 in like 2 weeks. Now all future players are seemingly forced to grind out for many more hours to reach the same goal. It's unfair to the newcomers in Mondshine, then again it shouldn't take less time to get from 140-165 than it did from 1-140. This is just my opinion. I expected the levels to go slower when I got to Mondshine rather than faster. My NS for example was 140 got into Mondshine and was 141 before the night was out, all on quests and not using 1 xpb. It's less expensive but I play to grind and reach a goal not fly right to level cap and have nothing to do.

This is just my opinion and I am sure if enough people cry then the players will get their wish and be 165 in no time flat. The xp should have been reduced before anyone got to that point. Now it seems some players got a bone and the others are now lickin' their chops wishing they had it so easy.

OK, here is where the screw up was. When they did the Tomb, the xp went up for some reason. Then I guess they did it for the Mondshine and then show they maybe put too much, lol. These guys whine too much. If I make L140 then do the quests, then the other 45 minutes go dance with the 140 Lilits for drops. I can always use extra cash now. And we all know tht you can at least get to 142, before the xp goes down with the L140 mobs, but then I will see when I get to 140.
I will be keeping a diary so all you guys that talk the talk and walk like you got high heels can contribute, lol Do you find this valuable?

Yep, that is similar to what I do. The only difference is you will go to the Lilit and grind away the remainder of your potions while I go to the heretic camp and farm heretic supplies. You get more xp and gold, I get the ability to finish quest 2 and 3 in about 30 seconds. It saves me a 5 minute jog across the map and allows me to do all the quests in 1 hours time. By the way, memory scrolls do not work in mondshine and the map is big, be prepared for some running.

I will say this man . Even at 140 you can get good drops and decent sp from the polluted white tree spirits(143) and dreaming terra(144), they drop mostly purple gear. No mag glasses needed and you'll soon find out that all the drops are the same aside from having +0-3 on them. Save a few of whatever if you like and npc the rest, the weps fetch 1.6-1.8m from the npc. There are a number of things you can do to waste way the hour and right now I am stocking up on supplies. When I have 200 I know I have enough for 10 days of quests and I'll sp farm at the spirits and terra until I run low then do it all over again.

Important to note since you don't read the LC forums :P

They are having another 600% xp event. Stock up on your boosters and get that knight to 140 so I can give you a hand figuring out what to do. Go read the forum and find out when they are doing it. Do you find this valuable?

ouch, pulls out the big dagger thrown in back, lol. Yea, been busy working on car then now keyboard acted up so tommorrow go exchange it and then this other one, the numbers dont work, lol.
made this morning, so one fourty next. Yea, if they make another event figure it might be a weekend, maybe, dont know. But once i hit one fourty, i will keep a dairy on wiki at the bottom, then each level I will edit and put on top. Besides, i talk and know that once inside then it is a different story as i do not know what to do. You can tell someone to drive but then once you are behind the driver's wheel, it is another story. lol

anyway, cya and thanks for info. Basically, lillit is good as now trying to get one rogue guildie all blue evasion armor and then now rogue armor selling for a premium. Do you find this valuable?
