I liked 100 people online, when you couldn't kill the red dragon without a full group because you'd get pk'd and looted |

Sorry Olyn, I went the wrong direction too.
I have fond memories of being a 16 year old kid putting piles and piles of hours into AR and subsequently forming close friendships and alliances that I still remember and value to this day. It was a lot of fun 'rolling' with different crews and having rivalries that would last for many years at a time. Oh and making those fake logs way back in the day was a lot of fun but I read them recently and oh man are they ever in poor taste now. |

I dig the current place for purps.. I think the changes have added some small new exploration opportunities for people that have continued to play, and have been easy enough for people returning to figure out.
Just bring back Middle Square. |

Have we considered rolling back questing as a viable method to xp? |

Oh yeah. Echoing Nadrin and putting the nostalgia spin on it. It was dope doing that drunken quest where you just drink at all the bars across Thera (throwback) and get 5k exp for some random rank in your 40s during the gauntlet. Good times. |

The pub crawl quest is still there - what is the exp reward like now? |

There is no exp reward for most quests now unless you are super low level. |

That wasn't a quest reward removal, the quest was just given the appropriate level. You guys are experiencing a bugfix, and there is zero chance I would revert that change. I would rather write you a detailed keep of d'al kaddar quest that is worth half a level of exp and requires killing tons of shit that is level - appropriate. |

i miss strategizing for days weeks months on end to FINALLY win a fight against the #1 guy. no better feeling. it seems the direction is brawn wins over brains these days.
i miss things having a clear direction i.e. burzuk's brainchild combat modules
i miss imms that knew how to pvp
i miss fun over logic changes - wild weapons being nerfed the whole justice overhaul, quest system overhaul, etc. not my favs |

In regards to wild weapons. I am hitting obliterates with wild stabs with 28 damage on an avg 21 weapon on normal attacks. If they were nerfed they should've been if this is the nerfed version. |

its the law of averages, for every over powered you hit, you have at least one, if not two very underpowered hits, and 3 in the middle. Its wild and chaotic by nature. Confirmation bias says you are probably only seeing what you want to see |

weird, wont let me edit anymore? when did that happen, I also wanted to add that if you are using weapon advantage and type advantage, than you will see more wild attacks. So if you are fighting mobs that are wielding nothing but weapons you are superior too, than you will be seeing a shit ton of wild attacks. |

ottif posts stuff thats 100% true sometimes and others he just is completely wrong. Makes it hard to listen to the true stuff
but tell me more about what exactly you dont like about this quest system overhaul, i'm aware of the changes over the years because i have completely created it from scratch myself and thats why i know setting appropriate level of quest was in on day 1. I know, levelling is annoying. Nobody gets handed a free level 50. you know, theres a difference between informing the imms we went too far in pruning stuff, and responding that i should be fixing the level of a dumb quest because everybody at level 49 is getting 5000 xp for just visiting 30 rooms and buying drinks for 10 gold. my gut response to that is to say cry me a river. ironically, you guys are wasting time debating nothing of substance |

To start with, it wasnt 5k exp from what I remember. Used to be I wouldn't do any quests at all till 48, and then I could spend my free time waiting for players to log in amd tak myself to 50, by completing something like 50 quests. I would go through one by one and do all the ones I knew. I know I wasnt the only one, because it was Groq and Kento that taught me that trick haha. Exping with a group of three was faster, but sitting at 48 getting ganked by 50s I could go complete them all while staying reasonably hidden, and get to 50. Now very little questing is worthwhile so now I don't do them anymore. |

I might be misremembering but I seem to recall the old style quests used to give exp based on the number of steps, so the pub quest would just give more exp because it was a ton of steps before you reached the end.
Don't quests give relics and other useful stuff? Is that not worthwhile? |

Yea..being able to rank to 50 from 48 by doing 50 quests solo is retarded. Glad that is fixed. |
