    Newbies these days are too soft. When I was your age, our newbie intro to Achaea was literally watching someone get stabbed to death by a goblin.
    Oh, man, I remember that. Waaaay back in the day. The Loom Island intro.

    It still gives you a funny message if you try 'island'. :3

    Too bad you're not having as much fun as they are. Would hate to ruin it for them.
    I'm having plenty of fun, and I don't mind losing a little XP, like I said, because I can bash it right back up in ten minutes (and earn about 50k gold for my trouble.) But randomly-generated instakill rooms are most definitely not fun for the lion's share of the people that step into them, which are mostly lowbies that don't have any travel powers or friends that can portal/summon them around on command.

    I've died 1723 times but I'm up in xp and gold, so no complaints here. Can't wait to see what happens next!

    By the way, I'll point out that those bastards aren't discriminating. I'm only 80, but heavily artied, and dragon-spawned ones can still American History X my ass so fast I need an inflatable donut and some valium afterwards. But yeah, I just embrace death and try to git gud while collecting all my gold.

    Didn't there used to be a rule about not posting excessive gifs outside the gif threads or am I imagining that?

    Crazy people don't realize they're crazy. So you're not crazy. Or are you? The plot thickens.

    I wonder which will be the first city to get hit with Fog
  • KezKez
    I thought Cyrene already did.
  • ShirszaeShirszae Santo Domingo
    I think the Muurn was, but I haven't heard anything about Cyrene proper having fog yet.

    And you won't understand the cause of your grief...


    ...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.

    I want to start seeing the other nations, clans, and organizations fighting back the invasion T.T


    Aalen tsol'aa firing arrows and calling on the trees to thwap ogres

    Gnoll slavers lashing and whipping ferociously

    Dwarf and Orc camps both pushing back the black wave

    Forestwatch buckawns dogpiling on some goblinoids

    Shastaan fisherman running in with gutting knives

    Delos' famous warriors charging into battle

    Even with the Tsol'teth and the fog and everything that accompanies both, dragons still have plenty of time to keep Colbey and friends dead.

    lol... i c wut u did there.
  • JukilianJukilian
    Read over the last page or so and man... The people complaining about being forced to do stuff with the event or wanting to stay out of it...

    Lol, this is a world event. It will affect you, whether you like it or not.

    Hell, I'd probably bet the fog has invaded my out of subs home... I should check on that, unless @Valkyn can check it first (hint :wink:)
  • SarathaiSarathai
     @Jukilian it hasn't invaded any out of subs homes that I know of, and in fact seems to have explicitly not entered them.

    Safe ground! Yay!
  • TahquilTahquil
    How's the xp? Kinda odd to still afflict but give no gold to buy cures.
  • SkyeSkye The Duchess Bellatere
    XP was good, then again bearing in mind that when you're level 5, anything you kill is good exp.

    But the thing about being a newbie is you want to remain in Minia as long as you can because the gold there is still good and the place is safe (also all dem butterflies). So I would say without an appropriate gold drop, the fog monsters are completely not worth for newbs to bother. They're just exp bombs, which is detrimental to general newb progression.

    I'm not the only one that this happens to. Complete newbies also get subject to this kind of thing, as do people that do not want to participate in the event.
    Just to loop back, true newbies are unaffected by the Tide creatures, I had one stood in a room with Tyrandiel for ages learning with Shadows I'd spawned in with him, the Shadows de-spawned before he finished learning.

    People who do not want to participate have to be more intelligent and use SQUINT before running through an area. No sympathy.

    The issue I've run into is newbies trying to walk from place to place and running into higher level monsters and ending up afflicted. Thankfully they're pretty good-natured about it but it would be nice if the upper level monsters didn't attack folks under level 21.

    I've gone to help a newbie who was standing in the fog trying to get their blade stuff. _I_ died, but they were unaffected. BUT, newbiehood stretches to level 30 now, and the upper level newbies are being afflicted and killed.

    I've seen more than one say they couldn't do anything other than die so they weren't coming back. And yes, I can see where that's a lot of drama, but put yourself in their place - you are trying out a new game and things are going well, until you have no portals and have to walk places and walking places just freaking kills you. And it's everywhere.

    Not sure what the solution is, just reporting what must be frustrating to some.

    I think the 'no gold drop' characteristic is part of the scaling formula. Some people have reported that midbie-level spawns occasionally drop nothing. It's reasonable to assume that this progresses until very low level spawns behave like rats, they only drop gold every once in a great while.

    Yep. Most of the things I kill drop 3.5k-4.5k gold. They also can do 3.5k damage hits. Seems like most everything scales with these, which is a really cool mechanic.
