EQ2 - Bonus EXP Weekend - Page 3

Remfin · 02-27-2006, 02:04 PM

All I've noticed is a few crashes before expansion (like 15 minutes or so of downage if there was downage) and the brokers being down about half the time. I guess if you're a tradeskiller the brokers being down WOULD be downtime, otherwise I have no clue

dunno if it's because of the expansion, but I haven't been able to open my knowledge book today. it's not awful, but I've had to /useability all of my tradeskill buttons.

They are trying to kill us. I'm leveling too fast to see all the shit, 46 and I'm still trying to unlock CT boss, and I haven't set foot in Perma or Sol Eye. I was trying to play slow to see the content, laugh.

Zuuljin · 02-28-2006, 02:30 AM

Dont worry, you can do the cliffnotes version of all those zones after their greyed out. =)

Seriously though, there is a fuckton of content out there and id say its neigh impossible to see it all without outleveling alot of it. The bonus exp just makes it worse. But alot of people dont care about experiencing content, they just want to hit the top for phat lewts.

Kolle · 02-28-2006, 02:45 AM

something to look forward to with alts I suppose

you could try to hit everything you didn't and avoid everything you already did, might seem like a whole new game =D that's one thing I liked when first playing WoW and making alts on the other faction

Yeah, I am leveling up an evil alt and skipping alot of the content and dungeons I have done before, and hitting all the stuff I missed, so it's like Kolle says, almost a brand new game.

Dinian · 02-28-2006, 03:52 AM

I was outleveling content even before the double xp shit.

I'm pretty happy we've had it recently because I rerolled to monk. I'm still now sure how we got so many damn dirges... aren't they like the rarest class?

Kuro · 02-28-2006, 04:34 AM

Because Dirges are made of Pimp.

I'm having the same problem. I'm not even trying to level, and the bastards are throwing xp at me like it's going out of style. Part of me is frustrated just due to missing content (At level 53 I still haven't been to the back of Obelisk, back half of CT basement, perma basement or pretty much all of Sol Eye). Another part of me is frustrated because even if I went and played around in it, any loot I'd get would be worthless within a week due to the heavy-handed tiering system they use. Oh, you hit 50? Grats on all of your 40-49 gear being worthless! Reminds me of WoW, to be honest. It sounds like they're trying to avoid that with the T7 content, so maybe that's something.

Ronne · 02-28-2006, 12:25 PM

I did 22 levels over the weekend on the PVP servers that don't even have the double xp, can't imagine what it's like at warp speed.

Zefah · 02-28-2006, 12:29 PM

I think leveling is too fast as well. I have been playing casually over the last 3 weeks with the occasional hardcore leveling session and I am already almost lvl 34. Kreugen started around the same time and has just been blazing through the levels (must be lucky with groups!) I understand that this bonus exp shit is probably good advertisement but leveling this fast is kind of lame in my opinion.

Overall I'm having a lot of fun though!

Dinian · 02-28-2006, 02:12 PM

I appreciate it because I'm playing catchup and I'd like to play with more guildmates. From what I can tell, most of Mistwalkers is 30+ now. Since I started over, I'm back at level 26... should be 28 tonight.

I'm also appreciating it, because I can't decide which character I want to be my main...sooo this is a fun time to try the different classes out. Of course, I'll be left behind but since I don't have much time to play MMO's lately, I don't mind being left out hehe.
