This is not a first week Tai Bo video, we are an elite profession. I can gain no more unarmed exp and this is the death of our apprenticeship/growth of our profession. Tell us, what did you get exp from to get to one box from TKA master and what is your answer now?

I agree to grouping, it seems like grouping is definately the way to go, the problem is, this game from teh start has always had a piece of crap group dynamic, as people dont seem to know how to accept or play a role (at least in pick up groups). Before now, it seemed that solo was the way to go (who could argue, in just four hours alone last night I netted about 450k xp), but after tonight, I managed about 100k in that time (which is still good progress in my opinion). I think in a group where non stop mobs were coming and in a group which had the EQ mentality, you could definately get a TON of xp over the course of a play session. People just seem to be stuck in this solo mindset, and honestly, the game before now offered very little for a group overall.

ok last time I am posting this: I said I can make 800k xp in a day - am i lying, or am i not? does it matter? not really - I was just stating something, take it as you will.



for the last time I RUN WITH A TIGHT-KNIT HUNTING GROUP DAILY MAYBE THAT IS WHY I SEE IT DIFFERENTLY. I absolutely agree that soloing is WAY hard now. Time for those buffs!

Don't even bother unless you like incapping yourself.

beener, i used to take VK off for KD before the nerf. now itzaps you for 200 HAM drain. before was about 49. Can only still get a few in before I kill myself against a couple white cons.


All of you talking about this patch being OK needed to go to Tusken Raiders or some other cave prepatch and see how useless you feel there now. KD does not need a HAM drain increase or a timer.

VeganDago, I'd give up and step away now if I were you.

I wasn't even going as far as you and calling the changes good, I was just trying point out info on how its not as bad as people make it out to be and who we can still be effective and look at the beating I took hehe.

Just be happy in your own peace and log back into the game - which is what I am going to do right now.
Cheers,
Laur

Ionspread: I killed chunkers near Dearic and mites to get my first few boxes of tka. Then i moved up to fynocks and rasps... after a bit i moved up to humbabas etc and reached tka novice. From novice i began exploring endor a lot and fighting crimson blurrgs and bordoks and those types of creatures (wasn't easy)... once I got knockdown that went a lot smoother. Once I started getting my power up I spent more itme on dathomir killing nitches, gaping spiders, and rancors. With my group it wasn't uncommon to make more than 1million xp per day.


there you go, that is exactly what I did. Like I said, it is harder now, but it is totally doable. Just gotta play smarter, and run with a good crowd.

"Put it this way, Master TK/Master Doctors with self buffs have been complaining about being incapped by white cons today post-patch =( "

Name three - or at least one, that I can verify is a TKM/Master Doctor and said this.

If you want a good laugh go look at the Pistoleer "issues."

aurilius, do realize that the 200 i mention is from all 3 pools, so it's only like 65 from each. i have 1000 of each, 65 from each in exchange for 11 unanswered attacks is good to me.


vegandago, selwynn, thank you for your sanity. i'm getting really frustrated with these people.

I can verify. Myself and another Teras Kasi Master were taken out by three bocatts. We had full HAM when the battle started.


BTW... Bocatts are a dark blue con to me.

Oh, misread, sorry, in my overzealous haste didn't see the part about the doctor. Please disregard.


BUT STILL... THREE BOCATTS VS TWO TK MASTERS?
