Lets play the game

Well-worded post, and I agree whole-heartedly. However, much of the world today is of the mind that, "If I don't have it, I have to get it, and I have to get it now." This can be anything from the highest level to the uber gears, and until those people have it, and fast, they won't be happy. That is why things like the oracles and hypers sell so well in the boutique and catshops. Too many people want to get to the higher levels just to say that they are at the higher levels, then when they look around they see nothing to do. They also have few people to actually go do things with, because they were so worried about leveling that they neglected to make friends. This is just getting more and more frequent, and I am glad that I began playing pre-BH/pack to avoid this whole mess. I am a member of a great, friendly faction where not everyone is concerned with leveling as fast as possible. Rather, we enjoy the various team-play instances in the game, and also enjoy helping other, lower levels achieve something.

Again, good thought, but it is just going to fall on deaf ears here.

You're free to play the game however you want to.


If you want to take your time that's fine, I'm looking for competitive endgame environment and I realized that the lower my level was the less productive I was being, so I hypered to 100.

Very good post, OP. Though I have to say
← This is my only character I play since almost 2 years now. I know a lot of the game, I can play my class and I remember the crowded cities. But somehow I am sick of being in the 80s. As it takes ages to level up the regular way, I started to do FCC unhypered at level 79. When I reached 84 I tried to Hyper, and I have to say I like it. It gave me like 50% exp for every run. So basically I do all quests, then hyper to next level. Am I a noob for doing that?

Some of use were too High of a levle to do Rebirth Gamma when its highly covetted secret of HOW to do it was finally leaked. Rebirth Gamma is not something you can really say people don't "experiance." Some of use never got that chance, lol.

Other then that, I agree with you on some points, but hey to each his own. Its not really our position to tell others how to play their game. =D Let them be uninformed noobs all that want! Cst La Vie!

ok, wall of text coming:

as a somwhat high lvl person (83 currently) this is my problem too but i m on the other side. I m one of those people who dont know stuff they should know at their lvl.

I ve heard of it all and sometimes checked out on forums what it is, i am unable to give an example since i dont really know if the names of instances i ve heard are really below or above my lvl. I never learned about them.

The reason is, when i started this game i had a lot of free time so i leveled, learning everything, how to play my class and all the details and aspects of game. but after around lvl70 i got really busy and even tho i wanted to spend time playing, i never had the block of 2 to 4 hours of running various instances. If i log on, i usually have half an hour or i am %90 of the time afk. Only thing i can do is, finish a quest in 3 days or do a CS and if i have around 1 hour, i do a fb or bh. Wq is a good way to lvl if you re mostly afk and why not do that while i am working on the computer anyways. This is how I lvled to 83, basicly, with dailies, very slowly doing quests and more than anything chatting and catchin up with in game friends. Now the trouble is, even if I would have time to go for one of the runs i ve heard about but never ran, it s all going to be, "omg you re 83 and never done it?" am i supposed to block the chat box with listing reasons? no. i know about frost runs and its something i do every once in a while but i know that, if i hadnt learned it when appropiate, i would never be able to find a squad as frost squads with my lvl dont want first timers, and its the kind of instance you need to learn how to do. i imagine most of the stuff i never learned is like that, so i cant even try to catch up with it now.

In conclusion, i am right now, contend with the way i play the game because i dont have time for much more, but if i ever do have time, i m sure it will also be troublesome for me to learn everything i m required to know at my lvl.

Hmm i'm kind of in the same boat as this guy. I mean, i'd say i know quite abit about the game up until my current level, but when it comes to instances i feel like i should know more. It's my own fault, but i tend to avoid instances just because i find my RL a bit too busy. I can't run them during the day, as i have kiddies and cannot get a good hour or so to myself, so i just do quests/wq since i can pause them when i want to. When it comes to night time, i just feel too buggered to be bothered with instances. When i do end up running them, the random squad's i'm in either consists of arrogant so and so's who think they are just totally too awesome, or they have tanks that die within 1 minute of encountering a boss, not just once, but multiple times. To be honest, it's just totally put me off doing instances lol

So why don't i run them with friends you ask? Well that's where i've got myself stuck once again, because up until now, i have actually run every instance with RL friends. But now my RL friends have gone and got themselves lives, (How dare they!?? b:angry b:laugh) and are too busy to play the game. So now i'm friendless b:cry All the in-game friends i have made are in different time zones so they always ask me to join them right before i'm about to go to bed, so i have to decline.

In regards to other people not experiencing the game, the one thing i find the most funny are the people who don't even attempt something because it is not the "norm." Eg: "OMG THE VENO WITHOUT HERC IS GONNA TRY TANKING!???"... /panics/force logs/jumps out the window.....and then the rest of the squad carries on to complete the mission just fine. b:chuckle

BTW it's taken me 8 months to get to my current level. I havn't hypered/oracled and obviously i don't do bh as daily's. I've only ever done a few Crazy stones. I also purposely hang around the same level for awhile in order to level everything up and get appropriate gear. That's why it's taken me so long

The game doesn't really explain things like RB so unless you go out and independantly research what it is, what it does, and how to do it, then you don't do it. And when someone asks you if you'd like to do it you go, o.o because you have 0 idea about it, and no one else you know does either.

Me too . . b:surrender

<~ was 7x for 5 months

mmmm spirit

I really do get what the OP is saying about this, i've been on here two years and a week...and i'm only lvl51 ._. putting into account the amount of times i hasn't payed my internet bill...zees seems reasonable xD

I enjoy taking my time, it's letting me get to know my char (lol i fail, reset items pl0x b:surrender )

but, i guess people come in different strokes. I personally only do Crazy Stone, occasional BH's and thats about it, the rest of the time i'm either just grinding for the hel of it..or poking the sword tamer for my own twisted entertainment >.>

Though i can see how tempting it is to just hyper my way to the top, because almost everyone is, but i won't buy a hypers, unless i really need to (say if my fac instigated a lvl requirement). But then i hasn't got the money to do that.

Meh, all i say is Ty Cash Shoppers, you guys are keeping this game free for me b:thanksb:chuckle

how about playing the game and not caring how other ppl play it (or not)? b:avoid

I spent 2 years getting to lvl90, meeting new people, getting exited and depressed with every new update, and frankly, besides liking to use commas alot, and secretly laughing me *** off when people try to advise me on how to play the game, i think they game is decently filled with alot of content.

That being said, once you hit lvl100 you pretty much finish everything and the only thing left is to keep improving your armor and weapons, that being said, what for? nothing, therefor, bla bla bla and more bla, tho to be honest TW is considered the end game nutty butter<--lol we could use atleast 1 more content that is player interactive like TW without the once a week tagline connected to it. Where else in this game can we carry a interactive piece of the game around with us like catapults or even build stuff like towers!? Thats what makes TW so great and we could sure use more of that.

A 3D world that is designed almost like a tower defense game, awesome!
