okay okay... im not saying that u guys are lvling fast, or its unfair, im just saying maybe they put the mobs there to encourage you to go with a group, high lvl melees, nukers and healers, preferably a guild group. you dig, they hit the mobs. cos every class has to be dependant one each other. melee depend on healers to keep them alive, nukers/healers need melee tanks. and naturally, diggers need all the other 3 to help get rid of preds and other stuff in their diggin grounds, e.g. PR
Ahh so shortsighted...
First of all harvesters/crafters need much more time to lvl their skills. at level 100 only I would say it takes 3-4 times longer to go 1 level up for a harvester than a melee warrior or mage. Even for a guild it would be difficult to keep the team together long enough for a harvester to either level or obtain amount of mats neccesary to level crafting skills. At level 150+ it would take about 1 1/2 hours(if not longer) of constant digging just to go 1 level up. For crafters of armor or jewlery we are talking here of days of constant coverage of tanks/nukers/healers just to go up 10 levels in either craft or harvest. Dyrons north shore has mats that are assential for almost any crafter up to q200.
Then we get those peeps that want new set of armor/weapons/amps saying that harvesters/crafters should have it more difficult. Interesting...

The point is that it takes SO much effort to do ANYTHING in game. It is too tedious. I am off to another beta test, I hate having to bother finding another game to try to enjoy.

I am an explorer, I like to look around. I spent three WEEKS trying to find a clearly NON existant hole in agro to travel around and explore, but...it is pointless. There IS no hole, not spring, not summer, not fall, not winter, I give up. YOU WIN, I WILL NOT TRAVEL....in your game...I will find a game where I CAN travel and enjoy myself.

I knew that eventually this would degrade into a player VS dev type of situation, I only hoped it would take longer. PLEASE guys, stop making the game so danged hard to do ANYTHING.

Basically it is a risk versus reward issue, the risk of having maxed DP and getting NOTHING but wasted time is not worth the reward, it isn't even FUN, which in my opinion is the VERY least I should be able to expect of my time.

Face of Mankind is rather nice... Betaing that when servers go down like now :)
In response to the ignorant players out there:

I have more heart than anyone would know :) I will let you in on a little secret... I am doing this for my newborn daughter... no one else... I like that game, but I do not have the time anymore. My first priority is to my daughter. End of story.

Update: Well the kitin moved out and Kipestas are there now. Kipestas cover an even larger area than the kitin did :(

In the past, the seasonal nature of the kipesta occupation was most of 2 seasons or about a week RL. A day or 2 I could handle, but a week at this point is way too much.

And I still think winning the invasion should have counted for something.

Bah. All you pampered Fyros crying "ohhh its so hard". All i can say is LOL. You should have started playing Tryker, then you would know what hard is and don't go crying all the time.

To the traveling bit. Why the hell do you try to travel alone? Find a group to accompany you that why MMO's are about aren't they? If you want to do everything solo anyhow this might be the wrong game after all.

And just because you beat the kitins once you think the whole war is won? Lol here a little example of the RL: clear your garden of snail (you won a battle there) but a few days later you will have lots of snails again. This is a constantly ongoing war.

Have you ever walked in a wild wood alone? Then you know that taking the PLANNED tour ruins the whole thing. The point of exploring is to WANDER around, not have a wall of guards RUN you through the whole thing.

If you want to brag about being able to endure more abuse, you win the Machocist of the year award, enjoy the lash and yoke, for I am throwing it off.

As a solo explorer, I've made it to every portal, except the one next to the secret kami tele, and the ones that lead to Tryker. I am saving Tryker for a time when I am completely bored. :D

Sometimes you just have to wait out a spot, or not be so afraid as to walk between two tyranchas, skimming their agro zone. While travelling with Hunthor I've even seen him run between the legs of a kincher and somehow manage to not agro it.... though I wouldn't suggest that technique. LOL Something else must have caught its attention. Don't FEAR DP so much, it is just a game, and if you use your highest skill to clear your DP all will be well in a short, short time.

I feel for you Haddo, especially as one of your customers. :) All I can suggest is maybe head to Thesos or Underspring for a little while, heck I'll even give you a hand if you need it.

not the games too hard posts again surely. Thought everyone had got this out of their system after patch 1. Its not hard, travelling solo is not that difficult if you have a little patience and skill. I am a healer, my offensive skills are all under lv70 and have no problem travelling solo.

Maybe you should put some effort into learning how to travel not moaning about it in the hope the dev's reduce the difficulty to your level. blah! If u want to play an easy game with no challange go and do so, stop trying to ruin this one.

You wouldn't run around in a wild life reserve in africa alone either or? You would go with a ranger or 2 (and they have a gun).

Good luck in your next endavour and might it be one you can enjoy more. I personally don't like games on easy mode.
