    You are basically killing the server. 1 month unlocks + half LOs, no one has time to grind AAs. AA exp needs to be something that can be easily attainable. It's going to completely prevent any new players from entering the server and kill people's desire to make alts.

    you dont need half of those AAs to be fully functional. let go of the "i need to max everything every expansion" mindset and you will be fine

    My SK wants about 130 to be full functional, 190 to get all the "good/QoL ones" and 343 to get every single one.

    it's not about maxing it , it's raiding 2-3 times a week and maybe 2 4 hour aa grind sessons a week. people have jobs and familys , i took the first week off to play 60 hours , but cant see my self playing more than 12-15 hours a week. and if im only going ot get 2-3 aa week this isn't going to work . it really is false advertisement and false hope. . if i can get 10-15 aa week i would be happy .

    had to edit after the 50% gone would be lucky to get 2 aa week

    2 4 hour grind sessions should net you 10-15 a week.

    Im not saying im super happy about the AA rate, but it is what it is.

    Congratulations daybreak. Selo as announced was the best tlp to date. I didn't think anything could hold this beauty back.

    Through hard work, sheer determination, and god knows what magical intuition, you managed to pull it off. Hours and hours wasted at launch, then removed mounts with no statless replacement, and now ridiculously awful aaxp rates that no casual could make work. Then you announce they are fine when we KNOW they are not fine. They are not even remotely close to almost live, double ragefire, or anything else, but you claim they are - scary, really.

    I'm not sure why you wanted Selo to fail so badly but you have my respect for making sure it happens. Well done.

    its not false advertisement if the rates are what they said they would be, double. they confirmed they are that. alot of people just had unrealistic expecations of getting an aa every 10 minutes or something. the most interesting tidbit is there is apparently a bonus to aa exp when pop launches, which explains why people testing on coirnav or agnarr were getting teh same rates as selo.

    if i was invested in Selos, id change my argument to the fact that double speed in a third of the time isnt sustainable. which alot of people said from teh get go.

    or wait till PoP, and you probably WILL get an AA every 10 to 15 minutes in a group
  8. Tornat Augur

    it wont. atm getting 1 an hour.

    The XP rate now is ~2% per kill right now correct? So say 2% for your math to be correct to earn 10 AAs in 3 hours you would need to kill 175 mobs per hour to keep the rate he’s referring to. I doubt that is feasible for most groups
  10. Steve123 Lorekeeper

    People aren't logging in on Coirnav and Agnarr today and testing rates, they are remembering what rates were like when they did the exact same stuff in the exact same zones in the exact same expansions on servers that were advertised as slower xp servers than Selo's and coming to the realization that Selo's is, in fact, slower. Which means it is false advertising because the AAxp is slower in SoL than it was in SoL on Agnarr and Coirnav.

    How you've not gathered that from all the replies is beyond me.

    because memories are 100% reliable, amiright

    Cool, people need to be providing evidence then. Not just "I remember it this way!" I know we're all angry, but thats not good enough to help here.

    250+ replies and 9000+ views. Something is wrong and you need to fix it. Not the there is nothing wrong. There is obviously something wrong. Now fix it before Selo's is a wasteland and a ton unsubscribe.

    I also have to chime in my experience on Selos. In Luclin on Phinny, Agnar, and Corinav with a 25% potion running we saw 4ish% per kill at 60 in ssra mines.

    On Selos with the server bonus, exp pot, AND anniversary bonus we're getting 2-3% a kill.

    While the back end math may say AAs are working as intended, it doesn't FEEL faster that previous TLPS in era.

    Please continue to discuss increasing the AA rate on selos to more match with the release schedule as it feels like the server is slugging with respect to AAs.(Normal leveling felt GREAT however, so kudos there).

    except AA xp is clearly not double. Not even remotely close to double what they were in Luclin on previous TLPs. Not currently, but during Luclin.
  16. took2summit11 Augur

    People demand response. I tell them all along that no response = working as intended. People still demand dev to waste their time responding. Dev responds working as intended and even says POP will have a bonus to AAxp. Server has already beaten Luclin so this should be music to the ears. People outrage still. THIS is why devs don’t respond, it does nothing for you people. In fact, the response will probably elicit even more outrage.

    Quit crying wolf. There is no issue yet as Luclin is already on farm mode. Come back here if you guys can’t kill current raid bosses specifically because of AA. News flash, it won’t happen. Stay away from buying pack rat and innate forum troll rank 9 and you guys should be fine.

    Your not raiding 2-3 days a week and playing around 12 hours a week. AA doesn’t even matter at that point.
  18. ShivanAngel Augur

    Just looked at my shaman on Phinigel, who stopped playing partway into PoP (lvl 62) due to RL reasons.

    81AA..

    I played A LOT during luclin, have multiple pieces of ssra and VT gear. I remember spending a lot of time farming AA.. What I dont remember is the rate. based on my /played I averaged around 25 hours a week, assuming I took zero breaks, which I remember doing in kunark and velious out of boredom.

    81 AA in 3 months... on a character that I played a lot.

    MAybe we are misremembering the rate back in luclin....

    I am not saying the rate is ok at all, it should be higher given the unlocks, however it very well could be working as intended.

    I would be interested to see logs

    According to who? You? You don't even play on this server.

    You can have your slow exp on your 3 month unlock replay of classic for the 5th time and quit before you even get to SoL. Other players want a different experience.

    By Luclin being on farm mode you mean the 1 guild that has beaten the expansion after having a bunch of people play 100+ hours in the first week?
