This server is a total failure with broken scaling :(

I received a mail in my email today advertizing this new ruleset on KD...
Said something about being able to have fun again solo because of level scaling everywhere...
I was hyped ! Level scaling exists in lots of mmos now and it can be a great feature
So i came back to check KD
And... It's a disaster
This is not level scaling. I tried several zones. Level 30, 50, 70... I can pull a whole camp of mobs and named and they can't even damage my health at all
I can kill any named in 1 shot

WTF is this? It's ridiculous, and totally ruining the gameplay. How can that be fun
What is wrong with you people from Daybreak? Why not create a real , working, level scaling
It would be really cool because of the massive amount of content in the game
Why are you advertizing level scaling by mail and then create such a poor scaling. It's beyond me
I just uninstalled again, so sad...

This is easymode stuff to attract players from That Other Game, perhaps?

I think they also did this to attract new players. It's way too hard for a new player to catch up and figure out all the complex things you need to do to get current. There is also no real newbie quest line or anything to show new players what to do. There are too many stats and gear and AAs and all that.

That Other Game recently added a new player experience. It's amazing and teaches you how to play the game. EQ2 doesn't really have that and this game is way more complex (when it doesn't need to be). I think this server is a way for DayBreak to get people to be able to hop on and play and have some fun. Not worrying about gear and what level other players are at.

I like the idea in concept. The server is pretty active right now. We will see how it is in a few months.

It is set up to adventure and have fun with the lore and story lines.

setup your adventure in godmode, killing named in 1 hit while you are invulnerable
that's a bit different from "easy mode"
a real scaling (like several other mmos !) would have been so great...
I really don't understand why Daybreak does things so poorly here but i guess it's not new
and this is not going to work to attract new players sorry. 99% of people in the mmo market don't want to 1 shot every named mob in the game and be invulnerable. This is just ... bad. It also breaks the game

The server isn't about gearing up to kill mobs. I can do that on a normal server. A lot of people have tons of lower level toons, every time they get high it becomes a grind and that isn't fun, so they restart at the beginning. They don't have to restart, they can have fun to the end.

Sounds like the server might become fairly active. The F2P option for new players to try and the shared perks for live & TLE servers might make for steady populace. Maybe.

Looks like it might be fun. Will try it out this weekend.

The account shared perc for green adornment seems very popular on my TLE server. They let free to play see the zones and the perc, they may wish to become members.

Yes indeed. That's why their storming the Server.
That and Kangalope.

Today I went into Ravenscale level 80 and could not solo the end mob. So it is not a cake walk at higher levels even with the buff.

I rolled a conjuror on KD, and I'm kinda surprised the pet is so ineffective. On Live, my conjy pet does way more damage than the conjy herself.

Kangalope I forgot to play with Kangalope! Have you noticed on Varsoon server, sometimes I can make my mount jump really high? just started this week.....I always play with mounts visable, did a kangalope spirit get in my mounts? or is this some bug/side effect?

Ahhh. I poked him on day one not knowing what would even happen. It was a fun surprise.

/chuckles ~ this is hilarious! Don't report this Sunlei, it sounds like too much fun.

I haven't noticed anything unusual on Kael Drakkel but I've been too busy killing.

I'm jealous.

They've enabled leaper mounts on the server with EoF being unlocked. Unfortunately, they've implemented something that effectively tells flying mounts that they're leapers (even though they aren't) and it's had some funky side-effects, particularly when moving in shallow water and in places where leaping/flying isn't available (e.g.: jumping in cities will very briefly force you into a "flying" animation and also temporarily bork your character's z-order where it looks like you're floating over the ground).
