i30 and 30 bg 8-18-18 - Phoenix Freeshard

Bring your instant 30 to the 30 bg.

I will be the blurry one-- because I will be kicking your ass.

there are 17 scouts online right now.

Wow. I may not be in the bg tomorrow as a scout.

I for one want to be the first to welcome our new hib overlords.

Hibernia needs more animists! I think I will i30 roll one!

Sat 18 Aug 2018 6:26 PM by Quik

I have an Ani at 50 already...

If Hibs want to roll more Ani's just remember it means more RP's for the other realms. Ani's aren't exactly hard to kill in RvR.

Anyone know the RR cap for Caledonia?

Hope that you appreciated the rps I donated today. Bow scout is TERRIBLE. Just terrible. Every shot was blocked by bubble. Every shot you take dmg from dmg shield. Just excrement.

I found bow ranger in Cale to be quite easy today actually. yes caster self bubble blocks your 1st shot....as designed. You know you can shoot more than one critshot in a row right?

I agree the armor procs and damage shields are annoying, but killing folks was still pretty easy.

I didn't know that. I believe when you shoot someone it puts them in combat and then when you shoot them with 2nd crit shot does it not revert to normal shot?

If not, plz report the bug.

Or am I wrong.

This is going to be the longest damn beta ever.

You're wrong. All that matters for crit shot is MELEE combat (as in actual melee, not archery), or target movement. If they are not actively engaged in melee, and are not moving, feel free to chain crit shots to your hearts content. Oblivious casters and support are pretty easy to land multiple crits on. Here's another little hint: It's a lot easier with fast bows, since it only has to meet the above target criteria when the arrow is released, not when it lands. At max range it is possible to have the 2nd crit on the way as the 1st one lands.

Multiple crit shots is basically archer 101....but there you go again, calling a mechanic you never understood a bug...

Some observations and a suggestion from this "event"

Since you cannot xp out of a bg but will stop at .99, we should consider removing the ability to xp off.

Why you ask? Consider this, 6 theurgists lvl 34, minstrel, and a cleric. Just for kicks. XP off.

they run around big boy rvr looking for 50 solos and kill them.

Whatever weird group u want to think of. If they kill the 50s they get rps, probably decent rps, if they lose the 50s get nothing.

The observations:

Do you want a server with hyper inflation? 100 gold for lvl 30 rep pots, etc?

Everyone has a 50 rr 3 plus due to bg events. RR 7 in one month?

At some point issues of balance and eco system need to be addressed prior to launch.

Off I go being weird. Don't mind me.

I disagree completely. /xp off does its job and it does it well. I can think of plenty of situations where I might hop out of a BG accidentally and gain .1 bub from some random green mob. Or I want to go help out some friends leveling up but I don't want my own to level to keep within the BG level range.

How often will this happen, and actually how successful/rewarding would this be? If they caught one alone, 1 level 50 split 8 ways isn't many RP. They'd be better off dominating Caledonia like the organized group they are. People already hate greys, so this kind of group would have the largest target on their back I'd ever seen.

Prices for these potions (lvl30) have jumped because the supply couldn't meet the demand, as the alchemists most likely weren't prepared. The announcement for i30 was sudden, and many logging into the game didn't even know you could /level 30. Not only that, most in Beta don't have alchemists, because Beta. Knowing capitalism, when live comes, people would see the great opportunity and jump on it. Everyone would, which would drive the prices back down.

I think thefaster we get everyone to RR4-5, the better. Getting those "base requirement" RAs for everyone greatly helps casual play, as the innate power gap between the plebs and elite is lessened. The different between a RR2 vs RR10 is massive, bordering on impossible (unless the RR10 doesn't play well, but then how did they get RR10?). A RR5 vs RR10 is much more of a fair fight, and one where skill might actually determine victor.

I rolled a bow Scout and was having a blast...even killed an Animist named relvinian...I assume that was you. Have to play like a sniper and not rush into the fray. Also you need to be as buffed as you can get via potions.

Yeah that was me I have been mostly soloing.

almost ready to rr out.

I tried to donate as many rps as possible.
