I don't see why you're all complaining. Think of it this way:

1. The people below 900 were able to get access to a bunch of new LE gear.
2. The people above 900 were able to get access to a higher level creature, allowing them a little faster leveling. This then puts more pressure on HCS to release more high level content.
3. Now that people are above eoc, there will be more content pushed out faster.
4. HCS netted some nice donations.
5. The people below 900 were going to be spending a lot of time getting to EOC, or possibly never .. this doesn't really change that.



i am annoyed as my goal this year was top 250.....which is impossible now due to these easy lvl for those above 900.

1. The people below 1,106 were able to get access to new LE gear.
2. The people above 900 got a 2XP weekend.
3. Says who? Content will come at the same slow speed.
4. Could have had more if everyone was getting 2XP.
5. The people above 900 were going to spend a lot of time getting to EOC as well. This just sped them up.

There are more and more players 900+ that are going inactive as well that will never reach EOC.

Does anyone really think that content will be released quicker because of more players at EOC??

Hey, maybe more players who can access that area will donate this weekend to level more right? and sure..lots of pressure on content now. :wink: *sarcasm*



HCS will get a nice pay check coming this week i bet. Now imagine if they had an offer out over the weekend? * gasp* the conspiracies!

Not everyone who took advantage of this isn't complaining, I hunted it and I'm still complaining, it is ridiculous to give a small section of the game, what in essence is a double xp weekend, where is the logic in letting players under 1100 hit a creature of this level? And if you did mean that, you should have made the XP that you can gain from it lower!!!.

How many more screw ups is it going to take before this game dies completely...and I can see it now, they will now bring out another double xp potion offer as "compensation", but it isn't really if people have to pay for it.

And I ask, what are you going to do now that every end of content player has now levelled past 1100, and the next content release will be levels 1091-1100?

I want a free AL1500 potion. Bound, and for players below level 900 only off course.

That would fix things in my eyes. Well, not fix things, but make it even again.

*chuckles* - and where did it say that you all had to hunt it so much so as to get way past EOC ?

I sort of get where you're coming from with the monster being open to levels way below it, but for heavens sake, folk always look for something to complain about it seems. HCS, lately, can't seem to do right for doing wrong.

(before anyone jumps on the "ah, you're L900+, you took advantage of it" bandwagon , no, I didn't - I hunted the set, got it, and stopped - 20-30 kills tops. Unlike some in the game, I'm not in the rush to get to the end of it and then sit around complaining ;).

The event, for what it was, was fun - and I'm on record already as saying that it should have been ALL the monsters open to all levels or NONE of the monsters open to levels below them - and, ideally, it would have been the latter - but then, how many would have been able to hunt the L1100 at all, in that scenario ?

It doesn't say anywhere I had to hunt it, but if you see a 20 pound/dollar note on the floor, not many people would walk right past it...

The monsters should simply give little or no XP.

That would work , but then, for fairness, all LE event monsters would need to be open to all levels. It wasn't handled the best by the cows, and it HAS given a lot of folk one heck of a boost in the game (despite the cows assurance that something like this would never happen again) - but I still think, on balance, it is/was a good event and fun - despite the EOC protestations :)

Oh and another thing, did you intend by doing this for players to be able to skip past the entire Karthak line of quests without doing one HCS?

Honestly without flaming me , list the reasons why you should hunt it and we shouldnt be allowed.


Shardoom says: It has nothing to do with profit. HCS has already our (the people who got to EoC the hard way) achievements pointless by introducing all of the stupidly overpowered potions and skills, and NOW! Now they let these lowbies and nubs catch us even easier by letting them hit a creature two HUNDRED levels above them. Seriously, you should think before you try throwing around accusations. There is hardly any profit at EoC, people just think there is.



To Shardoom: shar seriously dude . hard earned . if you mean the money thrown at a game. sure hard earned . EoC might an achievement , (a personal achievement only) no one else really cares that a person made it to lvl 1100



Shardoom says: No they don\'t, not any more. Power level sessions used to take a lot of money and a lot of dedication, those days are long gone, every day HCS finds a new way to take a little more of our achievement away.


to recap
the answer provided so far is that because players(lowbies and nubs) arent spending a lot of money and that this gear is ruining the "godlike status" of being at eoc wait wait wait i still dont exactly understand... the 1100 set isnt even gonna help them lvl any faster. If you wish to continue this lets start a new thread instead of going off topic in this one.


p.s he called me a troll and a moron :) isnt that ironic :lol:


you are a little bit correct about the whining but incorrect about profit. As for selling the 110 set, since only people at 110 can wear it, I suspect there won't be a lot of buyers

Oh and there is no status for being at EOC, except maybe unhappy because I can't hunt on schedule

The Lamassu one is pretty dire - with the white border still in evidence around the graphic. Think the others are ok tho.

61 lvls in one day, all i can say is happy days. I now don't have to lvl for about 6 months i reckon so can focus my attentions on other aspects of the game.

The issue of the valueless LE items is totally valued however, no point having so called legendary items if everyone and their mum has got the set. I believe some try to make their FS living on merchanting and they have lost out due to this. But hey if life was fair we'd all be billionnaires and have hot partners :P

Do think this is a bit of an epic fail though, as people have said, so many have been able to miss out on the big story quests like Karthak and mount Volmar. I believe this happened before with the quango island and people could skip xindyland which galled me having had to do it with only LF175, although i appreciate others did it with out Lightfoot, massive respect to those people pfft that must have been an epic slog.

Happy Easter one and all 8)
