stealth nerf with lu 38 - Page 3

This change is laughably impotent... if you're a raid guild or a writ whore.

Meh, its about nine months too late for them to do this; any guild that wanted to do this to get 60, has done it already.

The restriction should be "If your guild is below level 60", since the genie is already out of the bottle for guild levels in game already. Plus it avoids that whole nerfing existing content, thing.

I asked at FF is they were going to make guild levels mean something again. Scott replied "what do you mean?" "I said it was way to easy to level a guild, you can just buy your way to level 60"...he replayed with something like "I beg to differ, ask one of the lower level guilds how easy it is to level" Ask Pantz he was sitting next to me.

So I find this change surprising.

Its a welcome change to make goals in this game a tiny bit harder to obtain.

Why not change it so Quests and Collections also don't reward EXP? It sucks that people save up many many Quests ready to turn in for the new expansion. Why not change that?

And by the way, everyone who says he likes the change simply likes it because he didn't buy them and/or farm them. I gave like 500 plat to those china farmers to buy Status Loot, and then, some weeks before the new Expansion goes live, they nerf it. That's so cool SOE. You are teh best at stealth nerfing.

Oh, and please fix it that you can't wear Level 70 armor if you level in RoK. I mean that's so retarded that people are allowed to gear up now and have easier times to grind up to 80 in RoK.

They already have. Quests and collections gray out once they become trivial to you. That is around 10 lvls. However, there is a mechanic in the game that allows you to mentor down. This is a unique mechanic in the game that only goes toward adventure levels and AAs.

There is no mechanic to mentor down a guild. This is very similar to how crafting works. You do not get exp from doing a gray recipe. Yet are all the crafters freaking out because they saved all their lower tier recipes to get the pristine bonus when the cap is raised?

You want to level your guild? Earn it by doing things that are not trivial to your lvl.I guarantee you that when the time comes that you do finally reach the pinnacle of what a guild can achieve you will feel a greater satisfaction than you would if you were to just walk up to a NPC and DING! your lvl 80.

This thread is a prime example of how good eq2flames is compared to the EQII official forums.

I just read the entire 11 pages on rants on the EQII forums. 90% of the posts were negative and added nothing. And the posts were short-sighted and not well thought out.

It is so nice to come here and have the foresight to see beyond the change and the insight to understand the change (most of you anyway!!)

I support the change and am looking forward to clearing out several boxes to status items a few months early.

That's because we take pride in having shit more difficult/time-consuming here. Whereas most of the people over there want the game to be a total joke and take 0 time at all to play and advance in.

It would be nice, since you can do it in Maj'Dul and Neriak already.

Wow, just from that thread alone I got put on ignore by 2 people. I should post there more often so eventually all the whinny, casual, give me everything for no effort, anyone that works harder than me must live in their mom's basement fuckheads would put me on ignore and stop me from having to explain what a work ethic is.

Writs Writs Writs Writs. Did I mention writs. This just alows me to set a Retarted goal for myself when the expansion comes out. I guess I will set a Goal of 30-60 writs a week till we hit 70. Ohhh and when I have some free time I will do writs. If you plan it right you can do 2 to 3 sets of writs a hour. Sure it will be harder when the cap goes up but you also get XP for killing the mobs and A few plat in trash along the way.

The cap is 80 for Guilds, not 70 in the upcoming expansion. So you've got an even longer grind!
