I dont see how this change makes this a death server more than any of the other annoucements. I actually see this being a benefit for people who arent going HARDCORE. Seeing as if you coordinate with enough people you can buy/sell tunics to fund early game spells for your premade group. ( Slight advantage ) #Agnarr is dead: So is your guild.
First Mage pet is level 2. Enchanters however, could and did use this to get their level 1 pet and a single dagger. Made getting to level 2 much easier.
That does it... signing out... Rift Progression server started today... least they aren't doing stuff like this...
All about PRIORITY!!!! Pointless fixing epic bottlenecks when you can just hinder ppl right out the gate.
I think you missed the point of this. Casters can sell the starting tunic for ~8 silver to buy some spells(pets) so the caster does not have to go kill a few things then run back to get the spells. Just a time saver, if only 10-20 mins.
bad enough with garbage exp rate. Melee down 100's of bugs for a few levels? Atleast increase the 1-10 or 1-20 levels lol.
So anyone could create as many level 1 characters as they wanted, pass these tunics through shared banking to sell to vendors to make money?
