Shattered Kingdoms

I think this change is idiotic. Sure there are a few power levelers out there who abuse it, but this isn't punishing them... They will find another way to twink.

All you are doing with this change is hurting the little guy.

diabolics should get double xpz from helpless victims.

Seriously, I just have one question, since lightning bolt isn't the greatest spell in the world to level with, how would you suggest warlocks level for a big huge chunk of time considering everything they get for multiple levels is non selective AoE.

Warlocks are not group friendly in the slightest, but thanks for removing one of the few ways for them to use their spells to level.

What were those warlocks thinking? Using their spells to level? What assholes.

This video proves that Dulrik has true inspiration in what he is doing and does not falter in the face of adversity:

I don't think I've ever heard the real version of that song before. It's all about Weird Al praising the Oreos.

ZOMG IT IS A LINK! KILL IT!

Seriously, why are tactics being taken out of the game? Climbing a mountain, finding a murderhole, finding other places where the NPC can't reach you, is a valid tactic.

Changing tactics! Maybe he wants us to learn new tactics? Keeping us continually adapting?!


I agree that this is a stupid move. Now I'm scared to play a warlock.

Other than blinding the NPC (which will eventually flag the NPC as helpless probably in the future) what else is there to do? If a NPC can't fight back it's classified as helpless, and the point of levelling is to kill things without taking damage, thus the ideal method is to make your enemy helpless, via terrain, spells etc.

This has taken out 1/3, yes 33.3% of the options of fighting NPCs PVE. What else is there to do? Waste extra mana on blinding each individual NPC and NPC that assists? You rest longer. Dirt kicking? Let's not even go on how far it takes for a lowbie without endurance, and even with endurance to regain PE for dirt. (5% + per use a lot of the times..And rarely lands.) I'm not much of a power leveller in the sense of AoE'ing, but taking out valid tactics in a game that advocates tactics, when there are no other tactics to employ other than A. Terrain B. blindness C. Pets. is a bit extreme. They have means to counter spell casters and any other class that thrives on pets. As I said earlier, I'm all for a difficult game, but the playerbase does a damn good job at keeping it difficult. We don't need constant nerfs to our levellings. Last thing we need is an even bigger mindless time sink.

Just my opinion.

Edit: The only way I can see powerlevelling working now is finding a high level player to take blows for you from the multiple NPCs. Unless it's been changed as long as PC is infront of you the NPCs don't throw daggers. It's a bit difficult to find people who will devote time to actually help you level..Most give you gear, coin and send you on your way.

What would make more sense if he made the NPCs not only stop chasing them, but they would return home knowing that they are going to get their butt stomped.
