You both make good points. I’m just going to comment on the 1-76 in 7 days for a second. It took me 2 full days of leveling from 75-76. This was with 538% xp, good gear, and I hadn’t logged out in 72 hours according to the server. I also was doing 3 transcendentals a day and was cashing in about 75 magic lamps a day. If someone made it to lvl 76 in a week I’d like to know who.
War torn plains, Plains of glory, Cruma LvL 1, are ridiculously packed. I literally took my LvL 68 SE to Fields of Massacre in order to get to level 70, she now has to be partied with someone in Cruma, because she can’t get last hit in PoG or WTP and blows through Bsps. It’s so hard to keep track of people in those areas who aren’t using manner mode I don’t even bother trying to clear them out. In Cruma it’s much easier, but as you mentioned earlier if you PK a whales alt they port in wipe the room and it never ends. PoTL is starting to get congested and Toi 1 is a nightmare.
DV is fairly clear but at level 79 with a +13 Aden’s wep, Brade armor, +6 agathons, lvl 3 & 2 jewels, +6 Aden’s talisman and +2 Talisman of Power, soulshots, Dex 41, Con 41, Str 38 Atk/def scrolls, clan buffs I blow through 1.5k of the piece of crap hp pots an hour to stay alive. TBH I shouldn’t have to use scrolls for mobs a lvl lower than I am with my gear. So back to PoTL.
Let’s look at the server activity today, a day after Live launched a new event both NA servers are showing light. Both Aden servers were at Normal 5 mins before Orc Fortress started. I am doing my best not to insult the developers and PlayNCW, but it’s becoming very hard not to. They should have just made a Gofundme page or contacted the whales directly, because a lot of them are whales in Live as well and just asked for cash. I feel like an idiot for spending $$ on this product. Well at least I have the release of NW to look forward to at month end.
