your guildie told us few posts ago this game is soooooo easy now...

edit :  your arrogant guildie i mean  ;)


Game is pretty easy, you can solo by staying in the black and you would never rip :)

And the laser show is distracting...


no laser shows when soloing, can't multi cast by yourself.

I agree to disagree with you there.
There is still a laser show...

I just finished killing four lots of 3x EP spawns in a solo game, with no single drop from any of them...
Sad at it is, I died

this is what ive learned :

1. this game is supereasy ( explains some rips and near rips )
2. the chances to rip are high if u pay no attention ( fits exactly point 1 )
3. i stay always in the black - ( not possible if u do new game )
4. i dont do any quests coz thats dangerous ( i wonder why there are quests then )
5. since i stay always in the black, im not able to do quests .
6. and since im not able to explore... no monsters will come.

means to me.. grab the jub stuff , make a full vit char .. try to make an mq in like 6 month .. and hopefully i dont die on 70.99 % while getting one monster , since high chance to get 3 evils ...


thats all i need to know for now. im sure thats huge fun !
thx for explain me that !

im happy now

Well, as a new slasher, i had a total of one climb on the old system. and i soloed that from l1-38 then jumped into a cata with my guild. I have to admit as a noob slasher, they dragged my ass up to 71 as it was, and we had a good group.

that being said, this new update. i have soloed to about the same point, and after reading this i think i will wait for a cata i can join with my guild :P

I like some of the update. but i have noticed it takes me longer to lvl. alot longer... and no i dont have great gear, so i prolly will rip before i get to mq.

I thought the drops sucked before... but now its ridiculously bad, at this rate it will take years to get gear of my own :P

Arena Vs Cata...

well i liked the arena, and for soloing it was simply *click* *click* *click* *click* :P now i am worried when i step into catas and hit a group of 3 ep's... but i just take it slower and get through it (so far) overall no real difference for me..

i dont know much about ls as it is, so maybe ignorance is bliss. i still slash, and i will still slash. but i wish experience per kill, and drops were tweaked so the new user has a better chance of finding gear to keep them going up the ladder and not having to get fg or gear from outside sources. to me that would make this game better for the new slasher, and would keep the newer players slashing through the deaths/rips

You have summed it up for me...
I have adequate gear for the new updae.
I had more than adequate gear b4 update.

If I was to start as it is now, I would most likely forget it... but,
I started in 1.5... so I became addicted... be careful of the trap.

Ok, I'm back and have no good news :/

Since lvl 40 I started losing shrinables more than I found. I still tried 3x EP, but it was like a hoover for my shrinables. Then around lvl 45 I joined a group and didn't try solo on higher lvls.
I will try solo again for sure, but I need to buy lvl 40 tank armor.

I am sure your gear is 2-5 times better than mine... so you should not have issues

And no, I don't have really good items. Just you have a monk and I have a feeder tanker :P And I play HC, so I have a issue, even more serious than you ;) Just yesterday someone RIP'd on my eyes :( Even though it wasn't my fault (as we both agreed), I still feel guilty. If we were using ventrilo, probably I could stop him :/

If you make a mistake you die, it's simple. HC ballsy like it should be. Rips are a part of the game, if you aren't willing to risk it all play sc.


Yep, I can give another example of RIP at own fault, nothing more.
>> ME << :banana:

I ripped last night, because I was too naive and stupid. We run into medium (as for amount) and pretty strong EP, but since I was the tanker, I wanted the other guy to leave first. I waited and then been left alone inside. Not blaming anyone ofc, just myself.

My opinion about this update is one: it's more safe than it used to be, but there are more possibilities to RIP if you don't pay attention. It's hard to RIP while solo'ing now and pretty easy in group (if you follow some specific rules).
Advice for all if you play in group: decide whether you want to explore and run away on your own once EP appears, or just stay in the black.

How can you say it is safe than before... here is what I mean...

Before: if 2 ppl are in cata at the end, and one leaves, it will automatically kick the remaining person from the catacomb
Update: if 2 ppl are in cata at the end, and one leaves, you are stuck to handle what there is in catacombs as you do NOT automatically get kicked from the catacomb

So... you are telling me that everyone should just take care of themselves... NEVER be the last 2 in catacomb, do NOT heal the last person (including you) in catacomb.

Yes... it is our Niavity that leads us to our doom... even in Softcore I have been a prime example of trying to keep the other person alive while sacrificing my own safety... thus I have come to one conclusion with update... "I come first... and forget the rest"
