Funny enough, I solo on my priest here just like I do in irohan. Shes 3 psy/ 1 vit with psy/ vit eq and can still kill mobs at a decent rate and yea ofc it's slower than in a pt or duo but then again, I have been with others who kill one mob at a time and Im sitting like eh, I can do this alone and keep all the loot to myself. If I kill mobs a few lvls lower then me, I can handle 2/ 3 at a time with my aoe and heals. So IF I have to solo, I just find a place near the repeat Q npcs and knock the qs out pretty fast. If I want to take on more than 1 mob at a time, I just find some lower lvl mobs.
Anyhoo, got some time to kill be4 work. So going to lay out some stuff that I think is an issue. Its pretty much all been said before, but just to add my imput -
The crone costs to port are totally frigging disgusting. And the fact that it just keeps going up higher and higher as you lvl? What a joke. They need to lower it asap.
And for those that say "oh it's not so bad" - BS! IF you're a newbie to this game or haven't played in a long as$ time and your not familiar with ways on how to make crones in this game, then your f@#ked. I am one of those people who ALWAYS brought crones from the EM with rps and Im hella lazy asf with that kind of stuff, I never farmed crones, never made crones and so this having to make my own now is becoming a bit of a challenge for me, but eh, I'm getting there lol - I do pitty newbies and alike tho.
k, 2nd thing - The fact that you drop crones every time you die is just lame as sh1t and its not a little amount either. And people can say "well dont die" but that's not realistic. Just last night we had 3 of us priests in one party and albeit, the archer was pulling alot of mobs, there were a few times people died, (yes even with 3 priests spaming heals) and sure the crones can be picked up by that player if they are reved, but thats not always going to be able to happen in such a fast paced grind (when mobs are respawning so fast).
And on a side note here. We all know that heal makes agro or w/e, but have they vamped that up here or is it just my imagination? Heals just seem to cause so much more agro on us priest here than it ever did in irohan or maybe I just notice it more now cause things are sooo different here. Im constantly having to run to heal then run back enough so the mobs get the fk off me and all the while trying to keep myself alive but lucky enough for me, Im used to having to run/ try to avoid things that are trying to killl me (one good thing to come out of the pvps with e2n lol) and so most of the time I can avoid deaths cause by heal agro. And Theres not always going to be someone to taunt the mobs away so its a bit annoying. Being a priest in this version is a challange, but fun either way lol
3. The cost of npc weps. Ive had some issues trying to make a decent psy staff. I cant seem to drop any decent parts from mobs and trying to get parts from the magic shop npc is just eh. And the cost is adding up. And just my luck, I manage to find every other wep out there with psy on it, cept the wep I want lol I could go sword for the time being (as I have psy sword parts) but then I lose the range the staff gives me - but yea point is, the cost of npc weps needs to be lowered. I just dont have the time to spend ages in game each day I log in (cept weekends) so farming crones/ weps is an issue for me atm and would be the case with so many others.
4. The cost of mounts/ pets is to high. I have neither due to the fact that Im spending all my crones on ports and trying to make a decent wep lol and again, brings me back to my points about newer players.
If they dont reduce prices across the board, I can see it will drive away any newer people.
Mmmm thats all I can think of from the top of my head, but thats my main issues atm.
