• • Official "Help Larry2298 find another MMO thread"...

  • This is a thread that people can suggest MMO's that Larry2298 can try that perhaps will get him off the FFXI message boards.  From the research i've found here are some guidelines.

    He loves WoW. He kept having "glitches" in EQ1, EQ2, FFXI, and Pirates of the Burning Sea.  He doesn't speak English well so possibly a game that is big in Europe (He played Lord of the RIngs Online on Europe servers).  He did not play it long either.  So, any suggestions to 'ol Larry2298?  Also keep in mind that it must be brand new, have no "glitches", have an incredibly super easy learning curve, must only be able to use the mouse, and have 100% drops of everything you can get in the game on almost all monsters.  It should also have no penalties (He disliked them in PotBS) of any kind.

    Any suggestions?

• • Drop rate

    My question about drop rate:

    As far as I know from other mmo, the higher level you are the lower chance to get drop from low level mob. Is FFXI the same? When I soloed wild sheep I got drops off frequnetly but at level 8 you only killed a few sheeps then got level up and then the drop become much less. If I grouped with a same level white mage to grind sheepskin, it was only crystal.

    Take an example, can you still farming Worms at level 50 for flint stone or wild sheep for sheepskin? Does drop rate equal for a lv50 and lv8? So far I know that Lumbering is equal chance for any level.

    It will be very annoyed while you aer high level enough to play the end game contents but still need to grind entry level material to level up your crafting skill and find out there is no drop.

     

     

     

    Drop rates are not adjusted based on level.  However, you can only get crystal drops from mobs that you gain experience points from.  Hence only Easy Prey and higher.

• • It's so stupid to examine level 1 player

  • You guys are such easy bait for trolls.  Either this guy is either A.) Too stupid to figure out the game or B.) Just trolling you all.  I'm guessing it's C.) Both.

     

    Obviously this game isn't for him.  He doesn't have the patience or sheer IQ level obviously to play the game so i'd really just stop trying to help him.  He bitches about every thing on these forums and obviously dislikes the game.

    Hrmm I too am a bit surprised about how badly you took this with the claimed experience in MMO's you profess -- especially since you've beta tested etc.   From what I"ve seen the Welcome Back has been very very smooth so far and your issues were pretty minor only delaying you 3 or 4 hours (which is minor in MMO worlds)

    From my experience over the last 23 months Turbine has had very very few issues with implementation of any of their ideas -- although I will concede you definately had issues that justify concern.  I just feel you're over reacting --  I hope that once you got access to your toons you enjoyed the game however I guess what I'm saying is to try not to let this inconvenience sour you to the entire game.  From what I hear from beta testers Moria will be amazing and I've had a blast in the existing game.

    The whole being on hold for 45 minutes thing and not hearing back from your email is further annoyance and incovenience but again I"ve yet to hear from tickets for Everquest years later =P.  

    All companies have implementation issues no matter how much they try to prevent them.  It just sucks when you are the one who gets those *issues*

     

     

    Thank you for the straight forward response.  Unfortunately it was more than 3-4 hours and I did infact finally get back in the game.  However, it seems i was in an area that i have no idea where it is now so i'm completely and utterly lost lol.  I'm going to play some more tomorrow and i do really want to like the game because of what i heard about Moria is that it's going to add a whole new level to not just this MMO but MMO's as a genre.  Looking back, yeah, i think it was just being impatient but i felt it probably could have been done better still.  Perhaps it's still the bitter taste from the beta testing days seeping through. Who knows.  I'm going to probably re-roll on a  more populated server though and see if it's worth coming back to.

    OP, the fact you play Final Fantasy Online demonstrates you have NO TASTE in MMOs.    Considering FF had a boss that required 24 hours to kill, I would assume a few hours of patching would be a minor annoyance.

     

    LOTRO is the best MMO out, for many reasons.   If  you're unable to recognize this fact, then perhaps you should select another game.

     

    Because the MMO of my choosing is difficult shows I have no taste?  Have you played FFXI?  You should also watch who you call with no taste as I do infact like this game, i was merely pissed at the fact that they, to me, completely fumbled what should have been a very simple thing.I've played this game for 5 months and was hoping it would be fixed from when i left so that i could play it again so saying i have bad taste in MMO's only demonstrates you do as well if you like the game.

    Don't bother replying infact because you and Lazer7 have both found your way to the block list.  If you cant discuss something in a civil manner then you should really refrain from replying.
