Discussion: Level 2 and I still HATE this game

So I leveled up and I still hate this game. I was level 1... Now I'm level 2. What does that mean to you? Well if you are like me - and you probably aren't, since I'm elite - you understand that 2 is TWICE as big as 1.

Am I doing twice as much damage? No. Am I gaining experience killing boars at twice the speed? NO. Am I enjoying the game twice as much?

No no NO! /bugged. Learn to Math. I'm looking at you Sapience. Please pass this along. Also consider making your game better. It has been out almost five years and your highest level players are only level 6? Seems like a problem. I am going to catch them in no tim--

Oh, I'm level 3. I'm halfway to level cap. Look out, Archet. Oh well, nevermind, carry on. LotRO Rocks.

/reported.

Clearly some form of powerlevelling going on here. No-one gets to level 3 that quickly.


/ooc I remember the original threads you did on this TSK and was very sad to see they were lost in some forum maintenance. All power to your elbow.

/reported.


NO ONE gets to level 2 in one day. Exploit if I've ever seen one!

Dude, you need to slow down and ENJOY the game. I'm afraid that in your rush to hit the level cap you're missing some of the finer things in the game. Give the boars a break, level 6 can wait.

To the op:

Wait til you get to lev 4: that's when you get the eagle mount. Be patient.

I believe you are mistaken in equating level with power. Level is related to time in game. Level 2 you have twice as much time in game, not twice as powerful.

Unless you are one of those pay-to-win types, paying extra for things like repairing, to give you an advantage over others.

What a noob, level 6 is only a myth. The level cap is 5 and always has been.

Please unlock the Archet expansion for us noobs.

It goes to eleven.

Ok, I see it's time that somebody had *the* chat with you.

Haven't you heard that, in this game, it's the journey that matters? You're gonna rush pell-mell to Level 6 and wonder where all the good stuff is, and then discover that you've hurried past it in your mad desire to power level.

I gotta admit, though, the Archet Level 6 raid to kill Old Bloodtusk is pretty cool. If you keep up your current pace, you and 23 of your closest raider friends will be closing in on The Old Porker before you know it, then chowing down on ham sandwiches.

May fortune smile on you all in the hollow tree trunk!

What? You haven't played the game even long enough to get out of the intro and already you're complaining? Wait a few more levels then see. You can usually get to L20 in one day.

When you level, you aren't supposed to be that much multiplied of your starting stats. It takes longer than that.

Also, the level cap is 75 not 6. I can't believe you'd make a thread like this when you don't even know about this game. Seriously, just play it some more.

Good point here. Remember the guy I won't mention who started in January and by the end of the month had over 200 posts? All of which were whining, begging, or trolling.


Funny thread though. Well played by everyone

Oh, please...the level cap is 42. Everyone knows that the Answer is 42.

Oh, and make sure you attack that warg near the brigand camp early on...level 7 at best

The real giveaway is the custom forum title!

Now that is the sort of title I would really like!

"...level 6 raid to kill Old Bloodtusk..."
Good one!
But with all seriousness, clearly The Store was used. To get to level 3 so quickly, it's the only way!
So much for "convenience not advantage". Level 2 was a real burn-out for me. Had I known...

Don't even think about coming back to Archet. Ever since you left, I've owned that major city. I'm fully entrenched as the elite level 12 King (twice the level cap!) and have been for years now. The name should be Adder's Kingdom. /bugged And with my 2 gold pieces, which nobody else is even close to, I can buy anything I want. ANYTHING. So c'mon back and it'll be a fight to the death. YOURS! Perma-death dude. That's how l33t I am.

The Old Porker is for noobs. /reported The uber raid is the level 7, 48-man Spider-Queen Iornaith in Cal Sprigley's dungeon basement (it's a scary place and VERY easy to get lost in if you're a noob). Of course, only top-tier vets can get this quest because the quest giver only appears after you do some other stuff and when he does appear, he is hidden (you'll have to figure out where by yourself if you ever get that far. I don't give elite info to noobs.)

Rumour has it that there's going to be an expansion, where the level cap will be raised to 8 and we get to see the outskirts of Bree. How awesome is that?

SHHHHHH! You're giving away too much info!

Storm King, even after you get to the Level 6 cap, whatever you do, don't go into Sprigley's basement! There. That should take care of it.

Bloodtusk... epic, remember to be careful of the 50% morale threshold transition where he spawns a cadre of ads, lvl 7 Elite Master Squirrels iirc, inflicting very nasty wound dots of 2 dmg every 5 seconds, hope you got a good healer.

"...wound dots!?"
NO!!
As if the game isn't challenging enough! You say there are wound dots!? I need to check the store for better power buffs. This is getting right out of hand.

Now I know you are trolling because my alt made level 7 - so 6 can't be the cap.

I think he quit raiding with his cat because the cat kept rolling on stuff he didn't need--like dog biscuits.

wait until they add the new lore-master class it can summon bees.

Also, wait till you get attacked by the training dummies....

Maybe I should have spoiler tagged that

Oh bosh! Old Bloodtusk is a wienie. The real horror is that sickle fly Queen waiting for you on the island! A joy for unsuspecting noobs. *evil grin

I heard the flying mount is a pie tied to your arm where you throw it and fly like Thor does with his hammer

How did you get that hobbit out of the cage? I've been trying for ever, the padlock must have siezed up.
