Why is no one talking about this?
First monks and now this.
Another fun part of the game taken out...
Ffs this is the only event i looked forward of doing every year. All the others suck.
Is the lag even that bad? I remember Mabar being still pretty much playable even with lag. It was since the introduction of Warlock that it has gone completely FUBAR. So fix Warlock instead, fucking morons.

Looks like SSG is back to being Turdbin.

I did not like the old method of acquiring keys at all.  If they changed that, it will be something that potentially gets me to run the event more.

Maybe the only MMO he ever played was an asian grinder?

Fuck.

Mabar caused lag.

Fuck mabar.

That public instance deserves to die in a giant fire of urine soaked care bear dolls.

Truth x 100.  You just summed up their entire balance process.

Although you did leave out that all important bit about their "internal testing shows" horseshit that has zero resemblance to the actual game.

They don't believe in open zone competition for mobs.

This game never was keen for it- so theyre shutting it off.
But really don't see the difference between cove and mabar
doing same mobs appear at level of nearby occupants.

If its a star system for mobs in open areas which yer saying
no longer exist- then idk what to say...

Clerics and necros will rule as always.. and rest of us hafta
join huge crap grps to gain bones orwtf ever u get.

I didnt fully read this but we shall see-

I dont care either way- I suspect I succeed in getting all
my bots cloaks and w/e else they need then farm some
ghostbane augs.

I dont care what happens with the place.

I miss the world zone crashing dragon- he was very fun.
And tbh most people dont get to fight a dragon much.

ooou- score me!! some nub requested a Mirage. So I
researched it and easy run its closer than general in sands
and yup took 2 days to get first one... but very nice item.
And with the ghosybane on it- shall rule surpreme at mabar

Also is2d6 scim rankin 13.95?w? dmg --

so ive few weeks to farm more of these.

Ok carry on - just thinking outloud 8)

well ofcourse cleric will rule mabar... but the necros
figured out a bug that if iirc u cast acid rain you get score
for all kills in area and i think this why they crippled the
public zone thingy cus of the necros...

tell me im wrong

*shrug*

Dragon was Greek Freeze Time.
Public instance was bearable... it's just that some classes had it easy ( clerics, warlocks ) compared to other... as it was a public area.
( so damage spells were big no no... except things like burst/aura ).

Anyway unless they have made the loot really really interesting there's no more point to running it than there is to run Cove.
Sorry but new cove items are shit, I keep my old ones, even if they are only LVL 20 they are much better than LVL 28 modern versions..
No points wasting time in Cove.... and most probably no point wasting time in Maban/ Revel/whatever somewhat spooky they come with.

From a purely numbers/base damage stand point; the cove dagger is the best dagger when wielding by a druid with the level 6 core from season's herald. A dronk could even take that higher with fire stance and GMoF if they wanted. But point remains, it's a decent druid weapon at the very least.

You can, you just have to go to the tavern inside the area and go behind a wall of barrels or some shit. They tucked away the old barter box in there, but it works.

I made 2 of the level 4 wooden daggers. Still swapping to them a lot at level 15.

Probably the best dead beater swap for low levels and heroics. It's a shame that Lynnabel can't be made aware of the fact she didn't give them the bludgeon DR tag. Slapping bludgeon on hit procs is nice, but the whole point of a skele beater dagger is to be able to break their DR lol.

It just shows how they don't have good engineers. They could keep the main instances away from the shard running the Mabar events and never cause lag for anyone but those participating in a  Mabar event (selective throttling).   I remember when several of the worlds would have the same issues since they ran on the same platform. They would finally upgrade that hardware and all of the servers would perform better (but they would always blame the client's systems).
