Awesome, you could post lottery numbers that win tomorrow and still no one would listen to you. Again no one cares what you have to say anymore, that is all your doing.

Seeing as how all this melee info is new to people like you that jump in thinking I am going to be WoW rog ROFLgankyouassassinstyle, just shows that they paid no attention to the game until launch. The appeal of Ranger and assassin is end game, has been since any type of end game has been playable. I have no idea how many times people have posted scouts are hard to play until the mid twenties. Any idea how fast you explode shit as an assassin later on? Have you even looked at the leader boards?

Im exploding shit left and right, we are past that point since we gained 30 levels. Go talk to my guildmates who are quitting at 21-22 because the quest exp disappears and melees can't grind for shit. Its painful to play a melee to 25, they take way too much damage with constant downtime. The disparity between chanters/SM/sorcs and melees should have been too great for NCsoft to ignore. Now people are realizing this game lacks polish.

I stopped playing my assassin at 19 because I had to heal after every fight and had massive downtime. In my SM I just blow though shit, esp when I get the DP buff on my pet its just unstoppable.

So yeah, mellee sucks pre 25. Not sure about later though.

(Also fought a 23 Glad twice with pretty much the same outcome)

At least someone has this game figured out.

+13 crit stones with full blues would cost a fuckton (or very dedicated high level players gifting that shit). Either way, if you can't kill efficiently or quickly with that level of gear on mobs equal level, you are bad.

No fanboy bullshit, the game has a grind, I don't mind it. Your "core" players sound like retards as well. Was your ultra hardcore "core" group expecting every game to have WoW's curve?

That was my past-tense experience, I couldn't even come close to an SM's grinding efficiency 20-25, even with all that gear. Theres a grand canyon of difference that not even full blue gear fully slotted with +10 weapons can fix. That is a problem that NCsoft should have smoothed out. Why didn't they see it?

Now in the present we are dealing with people quitting melees in the 20-25 range due to the terrible grind, while their SM/chanter/sorc buddies are playing LESS HOURS and making double the levels. I mean come on, where were the developers heads at?

Smooth out the 1-25 melee game, and I have no complaints. I understand the concept of "pay the cost to be the boss", but other melees don't understand that. They don't have any confidence that things will change at later levels no matter what sales pitch I give them, NCsoft has a bad reputation.

I spent an hour on the phone with a slew of melee people trying to convince them things change at 25. Now we are way past that point. This is a posthumous address of the game, we had to bleed people for no reason.

Thanks NCsoft for the polish.

You didn't actually address anything in my post, you just restated what you said.

Sounds like you're just really bad and expected WoW 2.0.

No, it sounds like I am angry that we couldn't get old guildmates together due to the fact they washed out of playing their melee because they didn't have any confidence in the design.

Usha summed it up, playing a melee early on is a demoralizing experience that a majority of people can't see past. Its just that bad.

Polish the fucking game, they could have hired any one of us to fix the melee 1-25 game. Well some of us anyway, are more gifted with the vision than others. They couldn't hire Hatorade to smooth the 1-25 game out.

I honestly think that filtering the noobs out is an excelent design decission. This game isn't really hard, but people are expecting to faceroll mobs like they were doing with their epicz in wow, expecting 10k crits and leading DPS charts, sorry to tell you, but ncsoft and blizzard didnt make an announcement regarding games transfer yet.

Yeah, because SM/chanter/sorc are real noob filters right? This game breeds noobs if anything. Add rangers to the noob list too, if you want to talk about melees.

This game has the largest disparity between ezmode and hardmode I have ever seen.

Id love to, but remember all those detailed posts about gold selling and hacking, botting, exploiting, etc.?

People read these forums, even fellow guildmates. Theres no fucking way I can post that. More importantly I can't have my guild disclosed.

[Hatorade]

Keep on keeping on.

Less botting and more learning to play and you would be fine.
