Lineage2 Update

[Fardomar]

OK everybody here is the scoop on grouping/soloing.

You solo blues/greens non-stop to farm for cash. At lvl 22 I can farm fungus/orcs like there is no tomorrow. Believe it or not I get pretty decent XP STILL cuz I kill non-stop.


You are all wrong, however, when you say grouping sucks for XP. The best group is a 3-man group. 1 healer/2 tanks. Don't forget healers usually have nukes too which help. With this 3-man group you can chain pull whites/yellows with very,very little downtime. Insane SPs and per hour awesome XP and cash.

The whole key is knowing who to lvl with and where to lvl. I am going to predict that once guilds start to form up and lvl up and start owning castles the clan vs clan is gonna blow away anything that DAoC has to offer.

This game is not a carebear game. It does ALOT of time to lvl, especially in the higher lvls. The lvl 75 in Korea took 52 days of playing 20 hours a day just to go from 70-75. Of course his whole family was playing the character non-stop.

I am still very much interested in WoW, however, one thing worries me. It seems like the game is gonna be too easy. I guess we will just have to see. As far as graphics in Lineage2, they are the best, by far, of any game out right now. And yes I know graphics don't make a game but they sure do help.

I really thought Lineage2 would appeal to us BWC members simply cuz we like a challenge. I think Sirion was correct. How are you guys gonna like WoW with no meaningful PvP. I still think there won't be any good PvP in WoW. Again time will tell.

fard is right i gave it another go and at level 14 with 30% xp i got to level 15with 30% exp in like 1.3 hours which is not too bad. the group was doing yellows and it was a 3 person group 1elf 2h sword 1 orc monk hth and we had no downtime till after 45 min or when we got hit by 3+ aggros it was pretty sweet i must admit 1 day of good xping changed my mind i glad i gave it another go.

and i guess i should b more lenient on something i havent fully experienced so ill give it a go and hope it turns out fo the best.

i have to totally agree with fard here.

and as for the daoc leveling grind being more gradual, go from level 19 to level 20, unbuffed fighting solo as virtually any class, and ill bet that it takes almost the same timeframe to get 19-20 in L2. i mean, i remember soloing my SB, he had almost 50 days played when he finally hit 50. they have also lowered the xp req to get to 40, and halved the req. xp to get from 40-45. also added in mini dings for a feeling of accomplishment. its a decent curve now in daoc, but when the game first started, soloing was hell..
