Yeah - but considering that 1100 would have only been open to a few players, I'm glad they did. They should have made it 1000+ though, not 900.


Shhhhhhhhhh. :twisted:

I am confused so this LE hunt is for upper levels (900+) only?

Nope, it covers many levels. Might want to read back in this thread.

Its was an Ok event...but I kinda got a feeling that they were planning something much bigger(or wasnt planning on anything at all), but because of pressure for new contents and such they just pushed out something rather than nothing...Only 1 quest for 8 different stairways? No inventing items (market for these items were shot 2-3 hours into the event) + high drop rate? all set were 2 items set? Stats of the creature in the main realm have NEGATIVE stats?

dragon1234 - Ranger - lv 45

NoExercise - Tank - lv 45

DragonStorage - Storage - lv 13

Huh...Kinda sounds like their last content release 2 weeks ago.

We can sign in with our facebook info now though...

Forn, why are the lower level players able to hunt the level 1100 creature? It's way too easy to kill too... Seriously, dropped the ball here, wasn't supposed to happen again... :roll:


By low levels, I trust you aren't meaning level 900+? We should make a set that is available to a dozen and a half people to monopolize? No. Don't think so. I was thinking to make a 900 but figured the EOC might like a new one. It gives the slightly lower players something to level into. Not a requirement at all the other lower levels.

Thanks for the event grim :) one question about the lv 1100 LE though, would it have been possible to limit the xp gained by people hunting it? I have only read this thread, but i gather that the issue is maybe not so much that lv 900's can hunt the LE for the gear, but that they can hunt the LE for experience and thus make huge gains on leveling that no one else has access to. The last time this happened it was an oversight, and perhaps you weren't expecting people to be able to level off of the LE, but the players of FS are resourceful, maybe just something to think about for next time.

Exactly this!

We now have players sat 15 levels above EoC. I just hunted the 1100 LE to level up to 1101, the 7 LE sets I collected are worthless as the market is saturated, and players are giving them away to each other due to them being so easy to get. It actually felt wrong being able to level so easily, it's the first time I've been involved in an LE event like this but I'm sure the 1100 LE wasn't intended to make things so easy for us????

I hadn't planned on hunting the LE but after slipping 11 places in the rankings due to other players hunting it and BG saying it was actually aimed at EoC players I thought why not!!! (feel unclean no though :oops: ) Shame I wasn't in a guild to give them my guild XP and taxes. lol

Yes, by "lower levels", I meant 900 or higher (which, as I understand, is the requirement to enter that LE realm) - thing is, they ARE low compared to the level of the creature. They gain access to a creep of a level much higher than themselves, which gives proportionally much more xp and is easy to kill - easy enough to 1-hit, which means people are going to skip the regular creatures and just farm the LE all long weekend. The very thing that wasn't supposed to happen again (according to Forn, who admitted himself the last time that it was a mistake to release a high level creature in a broad range).

I don't mind people getting the set, as you seem to imply (in this case it's not even important, since it breaks a lot of other sets right now and just isn't that useful at the moment), and it's not about monopolizing something (which is another thing, god forbid EoC people get something donating low levels don't have access to, right?). I do wonder what you meant by "dozen and a half people" though. If you made the realm level 1050 to enter, which would be much more reasonable, right now there are over 100 people who could do that. That's definitely more than a handful.

I feel I am wasting my breath here, just do as you please, it is your game after all - what do the people who actually play know anyway? I can accept the fact that the devs know everything better, even if my opinion differs; and even though the quickly and steadily declining number of active players speaks for itself. Allegedly you don't want any WIN buttons in the game, yet you keep handing these out. You want a ton of people at EoC? Great, just remember - they don't donate much, as they don't need overpowered potions, they don't have to buy stamina (optimistically assuming someone does that anymore, when it's way too easy to catch up just on gain and super pots), and they don't need to spend fsp getting/crafting/forging gear, since they'll just use guild equipment tagged for use by many. So yeah, keep pushing people up the rankings without any effort required, keep releasing low level content even though these levels have all the content above them, keep releasing ridiculously overpowered potion as an incentive to donate, and keep making all questionable decisions. We will see where the game is in a year (unless I don't stick around for that long, in which case I won't see where the game ends up). /end rant

just another promise that was long forgotten about..

Oh well now that we will have 200 players at EoC after this 5 days triple xp event does it mean we will finally get regular content updates? *cough*

Hmmm thinking about it why bother lvling ill just wait for next event.

umm...i think the point was missed here. you allowed people from lvl 900-1100 to hunt and level there. that is not the same as making it available to a few people to hunt. and it is not the same as making it an 1100 item. the fact is there is even worse of a bottleneck at EOC. there were 40 or so people at EOC now, but now with this, there are about 60, and bound to be 100+ by the time this event is over.

what is the point i am trying to make with this? you will now have 2-4x as many people whining about content and the overall state of the game at EOC now.

Quick fix for all the people now stuck at 1100 make another le level 1200 and see the true power levelers go to work...plus I want the 1200 buffs before next yr looking

Make LE critters similar to the caves, you "might"get a drop, but no xp ;) . Everyone still gets to go for some nice gear.
