@ Politoed:

It's not exaggerated. I can think of a lot of players/PC's that reached L6/7 on EFU in a matter of 2 days. It was extremely doable.

I can also think of some people (NAGA) who can do it in EFU:A as well. The thing is that while people were extremely familiar with the ins and outs of questing on EFU, EFU:A has been a bit more reticent in giving away it's path to glory.

I think that overall, it is not a bad balance and is mostly just unfamiliar to a lot of people. That said, some adjustments would certainly be welcome in various quests/ranges.

Pretty sure I said it was possible. It was done, but it was definitely a minority. If some people want to put in the time to become X level in a couple days or whatever, that is fine, but I don't think they should necessarily set the bar for everyone.

I think it's somewhat exaggerated that you could level that fast in EFU as opposed to EFU:A, and while possible, I don't think that changes the consideration that it was still somewhat more desirable in some manners. Regardless, it would be cool to quote entire sentences.

I think it would be cool if rest points were added, they locked a special 'extra' loot chamber or something along those lines.

That way, those that want to push the difficulty level are able to do so, while others who prefer a more 'casual' time can use the aforementioned point to appropriate the challenge to a more desired level. It might even bring up some sort of interesting negotiations amongst party members.

Amazing!

i think no potions should stack at all really so it's not seemingly like people just poor all their vials into a milk jug then just chug before combat, and so like poisoners actually have a chance to poison

It's a game. You should play to have fun, not be labeled into whatever subgroups as monsters or whatever some of the above posts would have you to believe.

If you like to quest or plot, then do either respectively. I don't think it's too absurd that the people looting villages and such get the supplies and combat experience as opposed to someone who sits in the inn room plotting. When you need things, find them, or you'll suffer or lower your chances of survival/success/whatever accordingly. What's wrong with that? Oh -- nothing, this topic is just a spamfest of doomsayer bullshit.

Similar could be said of risk, if there was not a ganksquad, what risk would there even be? Sometimes you will come out the worse of it, which should happen eventually to everyone. Some like more risk than others, which is absolutely fine, and again those that do or don't take said risks will be treated accordingly.

I think that people can grasp who is just power gaming and who isn't pretty easily. I'm also sure they can react however they want, considering any post here is unlikely to stop them.

tl;dr while things are not perfect, they will never be, yet they have been and always will be good, no long winded post or bitchy rebuttal is going to change that

lamo karacter... ur a stigan then r not? wtf

gay wtf is da big red man wid da big fork

Well sir, I'm not sure I really understand your pudding analogy. Maybe if the pudding was some figment of my imagination I was too stubborn to accept as false.

If you wanna do some of the former I am up for it though.

Forgive me if I misconceive the posts of they or yourself, but I do believe they made such remarks in jest.

If this is all so innately funny, why bother mentioning it instead of just laughing to yourself?

I really don't see why anyone's 'GUILT' should be acknowledged, nor am I capable of understanding how you are so privy into my guilt and/or upsetitude levels and would sincerely appreciate it if you could enlighten me as to how you've come upon this conclusion. I don't really see why you feel the need to acknowledge you aren't upset and/or angry either.

Only trying to offer helpful advice and straighten out all the misconceptions aforementioned!

It's still misleading to call it some sort of 'sting' that these big bad 'CLIQUES' are victimizing you with. No one OOCly really preys on others to exclude them so they can stay within their clique or something - if they do, that should probably be brought to attention to that player or others if needed, nor do I think because someone else happens to be mislead in the same way that this is even that threatening at all.

While this 'SOFT-META' happens, I have never found it that big of a deal to find someone else either OOC or IC for harmless reasons (though cheating in PvP or whatever is sort of a whole different thing). It's not like there are a multitude of ways to find another player via sendings, running around, asking around, hanging out somewhere, marking a spot, and probably a bunch of other stuff I haven't bothered to think of.

Where do you come up with these absurd assumptions and accusations? I'm baffled as to how the attempts to involve made by various people before your post seem to be non-existent. Are we playing on the same server, here?

With all due respect, if anything, it seems there's a lot more excuses on the whole being dissociated or everything is cliquey side of the argument. While even if these cliques did exist to the extent you or anyone else is willing to believe, it doesn't change the fact that anyone supposedly in them actively pursues to involve anyone else with what they're doing provided it's acceptable and available. I don't think any amount of years over someone else playing D&D really has an effect on that!

As an addendum, even if these cliques do really exist, people play the game for fun - and if people have fun playing within their respective groups, then so be it - it's not like you're forced to subvert yourself to them or something. You are not at any obligation to be given loot, fun, time, whatever by them - nor vice versa.

Players will be more inclined towards those factions that are doing things, making profit (or whatever their RP equivalent is), have active people, etc.

Factions will look for the players that have initiative and goals they are actively pursuing, etc.

That's roughly how it is, and it's fine like that. Naturally there might be some bumps and the like, or some might deviate from this scheme.

Obviously, it's never going to be perfect in that regard, and maybe some factions truly do have that clique mentality that disregards you. In that case you should probably react to it ICly by displaying your usefulness or worthiness or whatever other ends you want to achieve, or it might be time to look for another faction, or even rally people to your own.

Really, all these complaints seem pretty invalid to me. Many times, as both useful and worthless PCs - mechanically, socially, or otherwise, or even on characters that were pretty much a hindrance to the faction's goals, I was always included when it was deemed reasonable.

On my most successful ventures like with Dread Crew, Montezzi, amongst others - which I was always under the impression were considered widely all pretty successful factions - I never really knew anyone OOCly when I started off in them, and that was always fine. Just keep trying and poke around.
