I have no problem with the people that legitimitely play lv 65's, hell i'm closing in on that myself at 61.

My annoyance is logging into the beta, seeing 50+ people in the ec tunnel, and their ALL 65. They *only* want 65's in their groups, and most of em are yapping on the channels about how much aa they got, or how cool "such and such" ability is, or "i cant wait to get this aa on my main." They don't even play a 65 normally.

It's for level 20 characters and up, I rolled up characters for lv 20,30,40,50 and copied my lv 60 sk over, doubt anyone else has done that from what i've seen.

can't get a group. anywhere. want to try the lower level dungeons, no can do. want to try the mid level dungeons, no can do. Can't do the high level ones because they want "lv 65 only"


Sure I can be a gimp and betabuff a lv 65 sk, I've already done it to see how they have the aa progression done, however I don't want to play what I don't have. Want to test it with what the average everyday player will be equipped with, with what *I'm* equipped with, not an uber gear elemental character. the 65 sk had more hps than a 65 warrior.

Dont make me slap you so hard your bucket spins around, and around,and stops sideways,thus confusing you, and making you run about London wearing your bucket, a g-string, and carrying a stick,smacking the ground while yelling "MAGICALLY DELICIOUS! MAGICALLY FUCKING DELICIOUS!"- {Tal} to Mortious

Yeah. Awhile ago on Test (dunno if they're still doing it) they had this thing where you could insta-level yourself to 20 with 3 backpacks worth of equipment. I was a bit surprised when I saw SKs get like full sets of Crustacean Shell Armor (genericked into 'SK test armor') while Warriors just got Crafted.

Now, I'll admit if I still had EQ right now, I'd make my characters at a slightly boosted level than what I've got them at: 50 (or 51 if I can be exact). That way I'm past the slump level (for me it seems to be 40-41) and also just starting to get up into the "good levels", just to see what it's like.

As usual, me hubby essentially said how I felt. We both feel this way about the beta.

Its fine to roll up a 65.. but bear in mind that they wanna beta the expansion.. that means the whole expansion and not just lvl 65 dungeons.. ya dig? Its why I moved over two of my characters on copy. So that I could test out the different levels of dungeon. =)

It just annoys me that these level 65s wanted only level 65.. KaL was level 60.. wanting to group to test out dungeon.. why NOT try a level 60 in a group of 65? ya dig? Hope so. I dont type this all to sound like a grump about it. I think LDoN is really what EQ needed for a long time.. and I approve of it thus far. Just think that beta testers should be beta testing. =/ Thats why I wish they would pay beta testers these days instead of letting general public in on it fully. General public should be around just for stress testing. You can get more out of a person if you pay them to try and break the game than you will someone of the general public.

Pfft. I was just trying out all the classes.

BTW, how long does the character copy thing take?

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

depends on when they run the copy scripts really. Some people have waited 2 weeks, mine copied over in a few days.

Bah, that's too long. I copied over my Lv.51 monk, my Lv.22 beastlord and my Lv.20 cleric. Odds are for my Lv.65 character I'll make a shadow knight, then I'll make the other classes various levels.

The Lv.65 monk setup is kinda junky.

The only good one I've seen is the Enchanter.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Pretty much all of the classes I've tried the Lv.65 templates for have at least good equipment, if not good AA. The monk template has neither.

the druid equipment was very subpar for the level in comparison with other classes.. again thats why I opted to copy Synny over instead.

I'm playing 65 because Addy made me.

But there is more than one character slot per account, too, so I shall play whatever anyone in the beta wants to play with me as!

Why dont those of us who are willing to play the beta, just form groups at different times when we are on, to test the varied levels. That way we are playing together, and havin fun together, and actually.. you know.. TESTING shit.


And its easy to spot the dinks. They created 65's in thier favorite class, just to go have a circle jerk in the Bazaar Arena.

I'm easy to find if anyone ever wants to group. All my names on the beta server are variations of Snootay for that exact purpose. Snootay, Snoota, Snoots, Snewta...

Edit: Oh, and if anyone ever needs a Bard who is playing 65, look up Hahnx. He was really kick ass when we did Deeper Guk last night. Except he liked to keep reminding us that his 65 Bard was better equipped than the betabuff one.

I had to have Addy send me the patcher over AIM. It's a small download. Only a few KB. It should work if you use a FTP client instead of IE, though.

I listed my names before, but I'll be scarce the next few days, as I'm packing, moving, unpacking, etc. Planning on having a lot of time on the beta over the three day weekend though

At that point... afternoons/evenings work best for me.
