    So strange that people want the double exp that was advertised. Stop trolling.

    It's not and never was a hardcore server, you troll, it was listed as casual and then released as fast.

    Nothing about this is fast, the aaxp or your thinking.

    I agree. I think it was clear from day 1 that keeping max AA/BIS in Selo was not reasonable for 90% of the population. Now that they see what we all already knew to begin with, they are unhappy about it. The devs respond to these forums IMMEDIATELY when a real issue or bug is posted. Wake up, everyone, there’s a reason devs are so quiet on this.

    Nothing about it is fast? You guys got to 60, kill emp, killed AHR, in less than a week..all the while whining about terrible AAxp..you had 6 weeks to do what you did in 1 week. Sounds fast to me.

    Selo is a really cool server. Starting naked at lvl 1 with a lvl 60 cap and four three expansions to gear and exp from is a million times more fun than the rehashed classic launches.

    The exp is a major buzzkill.
  6. took2summit11 Augur

    Was or wasn’t literally everyone saying you won’t be able to keep up with Selo 1 month unlock before the server even dropped? There were countless posts about it. I’ve said it 100 times, if you were planning to keep up with AA and BIS in 1 month unlocks you were delusional. We all knew this before the server even dropped.

    I almost never agree with Punchu, but he's right.

    No one is asking for max AA or BIS, stop strawmanning. We only want what was promised and what we are paying for. It is clear the AA exp is not working as intended. You don't even play on the server, what is your deal?

    There's one thing fast about this server at least, its impending and early death if they do not fix this! If I can't reasonably experience in-era content with other players, I will just go back to experiencing it all solo at lvl 110 on Live...and I don't need a subscription to do that DBG! Your move.

    Dude is either trolling or one of those "I'm always right" kinda guys who wants to gloat. He's also basing his argument around what appears to be a bug. Not worth anyone's time.

    If you think AHR should die the last 2 weeks of the expansion, which im guessing you do based on your post you have no idea.

    Those mobs should be killable fairly quickly, you need to be able to gear up in a reasonable amount of time.

    The aa exp rate feels REALLY bad, 2-3% a kill for one AA is rough. I know there are not a lot, but most classes still need around 120 and some even up to 180-200 to get all the "important" AA.

    Anyone who is arguing against the slow exp rate does not have a 60 on Selo's and hasnt seen it for themselves.
    Doesnt even play on the server and is one of the "I wanted to see Selo's die from day one" crowd for some reason.
  12. took2summit11 Augur

    I don’t want the server to die. It’s just ridiculous you guys went from a non-existent server to everyone level 60 and beat 4 expansions in end-game boss in less than a week and are saying the server isn’t fast enough. Maybe the server should just give you max level and AA and you just get to raid? Serious suggestion, because it seems like that’s what you all want. Doesn’t sound like a terrible idea, actually.
  13. ShivanAngel Augur

    We knew it would be fast, I never asked for full BiS by the end of the expansion. I was even one arguing that it shouldnt and wouldnt be possible.

    AA however should be reasonably attainable for anyone with high playtime. Key word "reasonably".

    Why are you even in this post? Do you even play on the server? Pretty sure you are just trolling.

    We arent saying the server isnt fast enough. We are saying the AA exp rate feels broken and isnt fast enough. I am fine grinding for my AA, however, it feels slow compared to other prog servers, especially for a server thats on short unlocks.

    The raid mobs being dropped so fast has ZERO relevance on the rate of AA exp, not sure why you keep bringing that up.
  14. yerm Augur

    Nobody was planning for max aa and bis. You are making this up. The people who wanted to max out each era lobbied and got mangler into just such a server for it.

    The whole thrill of selo that your time spent per expansion - NOT PER REAL LIFE TIME PERIOD - could be minimal. The fast aspect means you do just what you want and move on. Even hardcoring you get less gear and aas per era. No need to worry about burning out with nothing to do, you always have stuff to do, because you are NOT done aas and bis.

    Do not make up arguments and try to put your words in our mouth. I love the idea of doing this content with worse gear each era than on phinny etc due to less total farm time.
  15. took2summit11 Augur

    The relevance is because you all want AA to kill raid mobs. Luclin had arguably one of the most important AA drops of any expansions in EQ, and certainly the most important until SOF, which is I believe 11 expansions past Luclin? So, the reason why it matters is because you guys beat the most important AA expansion for the next 11 expansions. You will have a 5-6 expansion period where you literally get a total of 300 AAs between them all coming up very soon. By SOF there will be several natural experience boosts. You guys will all be fine, issue or no issue. If there truly is an AA bug happening, I of course want it fixed for you guys.

    Selo is going to be a Fast Progression Server. This server is for anyone who wants to experience all of EverQuest's 20 years of content and FLY through the expansions.

    110% I want to get >5AA/hour from normal grouping. I just spent a week playing non stop to kill AHR and I have 12 AAs. More AAs will grant me the wings I need to FLY through the expansions like promised.

    Selos is not going to get you to live either. Not with a population to play with.
  18. Machentoo Augur


    Except there aren't going to be very natural experience boosts. Due to the nature of the server, the exp boost is going to be way less than previous TLP's, because selos has effectively already gotten most of the boost.

    Edit -- broken aa rate notwithstanding.
  19. Lateryn Augur

    Still no word on this. It's not that hard to test DBG. This more then anything will drive people away from the server.

    When I went into the server I expected, as did everyone I talked to, not to get BIS gear since that is a factor of lots of predictable respawns and some RNG luck. However, we all believed that what was advertised is really fast experience.

    And the levels came fast, but the AA exp dropped off precipitously. Unfortunately, in the raid game of EQ most of the grinding is spent on the 100's of AA's, not levels.
