Banya Island

[Vyse]

I don't normally come on the forum to vent but I am starting to get mad with all these people with edge weapons going into Banya Island and mass killing.

Now I understand that the experience in the area is good and everyone has the right to level their but it's becoming a joke for the lower levels to go their with all these 75+ players with edge weapons mass killing.

Normally I travel in a group of 2-5 and we could survive fine all use our pots and stay their for a few hours, but because of the mass killing the re-spawns are dropping monsters everywhere and wiping out parties of lower levels left right and centre.

This is making it a pain in the ass for myself to level and help the newer players level also. When talking about it with a player last night they suggested making the monsters on the map a lower level so they give less exp to the higher levels making the area less desirable to them and opening it back up to the mid to low end parties.

Personally I don't know if that is the way to go but something needs to be done because it's unfair that a party can't survive their because of level hungry players who have a OP weapon and mass killing.


Anyway others please post your thoughts on the matter and hopefully it will grab the attention of the GM.

remove weapons from game.. they are to O.P

 

[darklegend]

As a level 24 war I go in and it's empty most times, kinda annoying really

Is a bit ****ed xD Added few new area's since Banya yet everybody just dominates there, should maybe make a Safe Banya Island with less spawns?

The guys who dominate there have earned it from playing all those long hours. (Eg Kylin) If you put in the hours, you can do it as well. Server is turning into a high rate cause people are getting lazy and not wanting to earn their levels. Its already so easy to level now with all these new maps. The guys who have played since opening have been caught up by players that have been playing only a month. O well :P

 

[Vyse]

Your completely right the guys who dominate there have earned it from playing long hours. But how can we put in the long hours levelling their with them causing mass floor re-spawns wiping out the parties that go their to hunt? It's like a 10-20 minute run back down to Banya every time the group wipes.

Regardless I made this post as a little way to vent, get others input, and hopefully draw in the GM so that he could possibly fix's this so that other players have a chance to grind out a few hours of hunting down their not like 10-15 minutes killing to then die to a re-spawn caused by the highest levels on the server.

And on a side note it's not really all about levelling on banya sometimes items drop there that you can use or sell to buy the gear your after and a fairly decent amount of gold to cover your potion costs. Yes LL is an okay area for those lower levels to gain some levels but the few orbs they can gain from killing on LL first and LP's/Gold that drop don't even cover the money that some classes are spending on potions.

yea delete this wepons, they make **** now on server,go think before u added items what destroy server.
i took from u all carots jimi ;p

 

[ventus]

Too late to delete the weapon, alot of players have already spent over 100m+ to make it. Gathering 100m in itself isn't an easy task. I have still yet to gather that much again after getting that damned red horse. The struggle continues :P

What levels are you and your group? From what I recall it was billed as a level 60+ area. If you're not level 60+ go somewhere else and if you are 60+ the spawns are easy enough to deal with.

Do you have 1 of each class? Use crowd control, abyss, eshock, tao pets. Use a tao's pet to take aggro so you can escape. Stay near the door so you can run away.

You might think I'm being a dick but if you can't handle respawns the area is too hard for you unfortunately.

Also the option to try cave. Although harder, mobs more spread and nobody is mass killing them.

when it came out there were groups of 11 surrounding one mob at a time it was never designed to have a couple of people completely clearing the map causing massive spawns

Increase spawn rates please.

Level matters so much this server. Them that could play 24/7 over xmas got a head start so they"deserve" to dominate? I dont think so. How is it good that a handful can out level everyone when level matters so very miuch in pvp? If you cant keep up all the offensive spells work and there's not much u can do wraithgripped or some of the other level linked spells.
It's not fighting when being a lower level means everyones spells work on you.

Solutions might be capping entry - there's already lower limits to some why not upper also? No 70 + in one decent exp map. Doesnt matter which one. Making exp less attractive to the addicts.
Already tried to boost new players with starter guild and map effects and the group bonus(abused by bigger guikds)and small guild thing.All they did was help the big guys stay ahead. The main guild to level then went back. They lured on levelling hunts blocked doors and generally screwed lower levels.
Saying level up n fight back is stupid especially this server when level matters most. The ppl with time get ahead do everything they can to stop fair play on a flat playing field. Success = hours of "put the time in" not skill or better just higher level.
Playing for the fights? NOt if you are levels ahead of aanyone fighting you.
