Y U Hate New Players D:

Postby Egglet on Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:55 pm

I don't understand why they nerfed the Tri-Sword, Whurgraabl, and The magic penetration wand. I mean, I UNDERSTAND IT, they had good reason to do so, they were trying to balance the item tier list. But I don't see how new players (including myself) are ever going to do anything useful now. They crippled a Melee character's two greatest tools (three if you consider the Dragon Shield nerf), when they were already having a hard time without any reliable means of armor pen, and they have effectively made pure magic characters useless now, since their damage melts as soon as a golem shows up. I'm sure there are alternatives like hybrid characters, advanced strategies, other items, and just other fun stuff, but I don't have access to those tools or knowledge. Yes, I understand that this is raising the skill ceiling, something that is good. But its doing so is also raising the skill floor, something that is terrible.

I couldn't beat slime pits when monks still had a viable source of damage via trisword, or ANY OF THE OTHER QUESTS IM STUCK ON when I still had the option of Bloodmage+Magic Pen'ing my way through them. What am I supposed to do now? I've wasted all of my money attempting these dungeons, and now I'm going to have to grind low level dungeons for a few more hours just so I can fail the hard ones because my only chances of success were nerfed.

Slime pits with monk is probably the single hardest quest in the game. (Excluding Gaan-Telet) So don't be surprised if you can't beat it. Try Bringing a sensory stone, conversion seal, and find HALPMEH as an orc monk. Extremely challenging, I barely beat it. If you can't, wait till they make monks suck less.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.

Along that note, which dungeon do you have to beat for the sensory stone?

Unfortunately, converting it means you will have to pay the 100 gold to retrieve it.

Also, what dungeons/quests do you need help with, cause' I'm always ready to help!

Barring abusive strategies, the game has actually became easier over time. In the past, elite items, special potions, half the deity list and a lot of items didn't exist!

So if you wait a few weeks you might not have the problem you are having right now.
