| 2022-07-05 23:12 | Seyonne | I think people are assuming I am saying something that I've never actually said |
| 2022-07-05 23:12 | Kelemvor | i've never understood why people hate lord solo so much |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Chalu | what about making more qp runs and then lowering costs of qp catalog stuff to encourage more group runs, more tangible rewards, etc. or noticeably increase xp for groups (scale xp based on group number, etc)? |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Menace | vamp they can do bosses think thats why |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Vixelle | caree doesnt have the hp to solo the big ones |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Vamp | i mean, if u can complain abt it, why not spend the time and go lvl up and do it too |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Diy | i dont solo anyway |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Kelemvor | no clue |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Menace | another one left ? |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Vamp | why do ppl complaing abt alleg soloing? |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Diy | should let caree, miz, nefas and rosett continue to solo alleg |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Wolthu | vamp, he passed away? |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Diy | agreed vix |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Vamp | btw moonchild is no longer with us, wolthu |
| 2022-07-05 23:11 | Vixelle | if solo alleg was the issue, target that and not the cohort |
| 2022-07-05 23:10 | Diy | only less than 5 players are actually solo, and the abilities of solo is actually paid by qps they have gained over years or even decades |
| 2022-07-05 23:10 | Vamp | when end of the day, the knife drops and all's gone |
| 2022-07-05 23:10 | Shadowin | if you want to stop the soloing... take alleg out. but be warned, you'll open a whole new can of worms |
| 2022-07-05 23:10 | Shadowin | i pretty much just play the game to do alleg, to get qps, to make myself bigger, and buy things from qp cat to make my alt better, so that i can do more alleg |
| 2022-07-05 23:10 | Vamp | like what's the point of running, gaining xp, levelling |
| 2022-07-05 23:10 | Mythril | i feel like i should still be able to solo eha, but that ship saild away long ago, and noone cared about me |
| 2022-07-05 23:10 | Kelemvor | alleg soloing is the main issue people are bitching about |
| 2022-07-05 23:10 | Wolthu | tbh, moonchild was a frigging good tank |
| 2022-07-05 23:10 | Vamp | till last year's changes kinda make me feel "betrayed" by the mud |
| 2022-07-05 23:10 | Kelemvor | lord soloing has never been a large xp getter |
| 2022-07-05 23:09 | Seyonne | For what it's worth, I am on the side of the discussion that thinks soloing should still be possible, but not to the extent that it's been done more recently necessarily |
| 2022-07-05 23:09 | Wolthu | I wanted to be bigger than Moonchild for long time |
| 2022-07-05 23:09 | Vamp | i actually like leading lord |
| 2022-07-05 23:09 | Hayami | now youre 3x my size :P |
| 2022-07-05 23:09 | Shadowin | i think talrasha is the only person that soloed for xp.. and that wasnt soloing |
| 2022-07-05 23:09 | Hayami | i remember when you wanted to be this alt :P |
| 2022-07-05 23:09 | Seyonne | Mythril and Kelemvor: Yep, I get that, and know how it feels as well. |
| 2022-07-05 23:08 | Kelemvor | and lord runs take a good chunk of time, you don't always have it, and just wanna do a quick jaunt out for some xp |
| 2022-07-05 23:08 | Wolthu | Originally my goal of this alt is to make everyone need me for all runs when I am big but practicing afkness over the years ruined my chance. |
| 2022-07-05 23:08 | Seyonne | I can't change the past. I can only make an effort to be open from here on out |
| 2022-07-05 23:08 | Mythril | leading a lord run, typcially sucks when you have a group full of afk people, i get why they solo |
| 2022-07-05 23:08 | Vamp | i dun like socializing all the time |
| 2022-07-05 23:07 | Vixelle | mutants werent breaking rules. u guys just shifting the goal post |
| 2022-07-05 23:07 | Steez | talrasha had 700 levels of obvious botting in tart and you see how long that took to get handled |
| 2022-07-05 23:07 | Seyonne | I'd rather understand what drives players to want to break arbitrary rules than spend hours dealing with complaints and chasing down incidents or being on call to do so |
| 2022-07-05 23:07 | Wolthu | Wait, WWIII players will come soon, bolster player base. |
| 2022-07-05 23:07 | Nefas | historically people have chosen to break rules |
| 2022-07-05 23:07 | Hayami | how about racial restrictions on certain classes |
| 2022-07-05 23:07 | Seyonne | Honestly, policing the game is not really what we want to be doing. We would rather people be fine with the rules and not feel motivated to break them all the time |
| 2022-07-05 23:07 | Vixelle | quit for good... |
| 2022-07-05 23:07 | Vixelle | counts were up due to covid. old players started coming back. unpopular decisions might just made some quit good. there wont be another 'covid players' surge |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Hayami | i remember when dev made ixupi spirits to stop mekrith and i from duoing |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Seyonne | So I think I can pretty much can the "reroll 999 discussion" for now, as we have a potential other direction that seems more agreeable with everyone |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Hayami | heres a question, whyd we get away from enforcing the no solo on lord thing |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Wolthu | i just hosted national championship disc golf tournament in KY for a week, 103 players from all over USA (Deaf). It was fun. |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Steez | crunge cant solo very well, house dodge |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Mythril | force more leaders |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Hayami | ^ |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Mythril | lord isnt made for solo, let em keep the stats and do away with the solo |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Hayami | just not feasible |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Vamp | outland is scaled and difficult to run with 10 in group |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Hayami | why do you think i never solo on byki :P |
| 2022-07-05 23:06 | Kelemvor | not for long, you can do a couple rooms max, if you survive shift |
| 2022-07-05 23:05 | Hayami | as a sor |
| 2022-07-05 23:05 | Hayami | even 18k hp doesnt let you solo |
| 2022-07-05 23:05 | Shadowin | i have some buddies in atlanta who've been trying to get me to come up for disc golf. |
| 2022-07-05 23:05 | Vamp | hp is the main factor for soloing and mutant-cy |
| 2022-07-05 23:05 | Wolthu | Shadowin, I have been traveling, fishing, disc golfing, golfing yet i have time to play couple of hours here, its an addiction. |
| 2022-07-05 23:05 | Hayami | im fine with that |
| 2022-07-05 23:05 | Hayami | ah ok |
| 2022-07-05 23:05 | Seyonne | Hayami: Same as shard/transmog/outland |
| 2022-07-05 23:05 | Vamp | to interrupt, Sor isn't overpowered, it's trl sors who are overpowered |
| 2022-07-05 23:05 | Kelemvor | drop the cap to 100k, let those keep stats already and work on balancing for those max stats |
| 2022-07-05 23:05 | Hayami | player/stat balancing.. means what exactly |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Seyonne | Same as shard/transmog/outland |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Shadowin | i've started fishing more, and have been enjoying it |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Hayami | elaborate on that more please seyonne.. |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Shadowin | unless his kids. then.. i believe him. |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Hayami | mud changes, fixing relationships in rl |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Shadowin | DiY has no girls |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Wolthu | make more drg mobs which tails u to death, increase odds to 50/50 :P |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Seyonne | At least, that's the other direction we would go |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Diy | my girls were so happy to hear im quitting |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Shadowin | there are 49 characters on. so that's about right |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Hayami | id guess 50-100 total |
| 2022-07-05 23:04 | Seyonne | So I think in lieu of rerolling 999s, chances are we will get player/stat balancing across the whole tier. |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Kelemvor | i doubt there are more than 50 active players currently |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Hayami | because theres a core group of us that stay |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Zaffer | Maybe mobs that do some kinda super-saiyan-psyphon that's a % of max mana. |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Madrivax | And yet the MUD survived |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Menace | i see the same ppl on everyday so cant be that many |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Alif | thnx seyonne for coming and taking questions, facing the fire, etc |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Wolthu | seems they did not learn their lesson |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Zaffer | Maybe there are creative ways to limit inflated stats in new content? The reapers doing a % hp damage are a nice touch. |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Diy | we have less players to lose now.. since the counts are very low |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Kelemvor | we don't have the player base to go through that again |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Menace | how many "active" players do we have ? |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Kelemvor | nod, it was a large group that left after that |
| 2022-07-05 23:03 | Hayami | and the first rerolls lost a ton of players |
| 2022-07-05 23:02 | Vamp | one for every class! |
| 2022-07-05 23:02 | Hayami | I remember when titan was months away |
| 2022-07-05 23:02 | Kelemvor | *lost |
| 2022-07-05 23:02 | Vamp | so i have an opportunities to gt at least 12-13 new drg 999 lords? |
| 2022-07-05 23:02 | Kelemvor | lots quit |
| 2022-07-05 23:02 | Kelemvor | we lots a lot of people bc of those rerolls |
