They have a very easy solution available to them, while keeping the medallions in. They already split coin intelligently (I think), so if a mob drops 1 silver and 20 copper 1 person will get 1 silver and the rest split the 20 copper. It should work just fine being totally random.

Now here's a crazy idea, just randomly dole out the medallions as soon as someone loots a corpse, if you're in the group, in range and have the space, you have a 1/6 chance to get any medallion. Over time, it'll be equitable. It will feel a little weird getting an item into your inventory without looting, but that'll pass.

Or they just go the other way and up the coin drop and make junk loot less valuable, I think everyone would be happy about this. Too happy.
No can do, muchacho. You gotta feel that weight, lil fella! That's how you know it's "old school".

Any fellow retards on pvp server? Since I only really can solo Trem was just too crowded to be enjoyable and getting ganked is part of the old-school fun. On a related note female humans sit with perfect "I just rerolled to a pvp server" posture

Against all odds, this game has made me interested in WoW Forever. I can't even explain it. Before EA launch I had zero interest in anything related to WoW, but after playing this game for nearly 300 hours /played (70 in the beta, 230+ in EA) I have somehow gained the urge to try out Forever. I watched Bellular's shill video (who has gotten chubby since I last watched him) and noticed they have campfires, but cooler, tradeskill update looks interesting and useful and the relaxed pace and lack of social pvp are alluring to me.

I'm pretty much going to try out Deep Gnome bard as my last resort to enjoy this game and if nothing clicks I'll check in for official launch at 1.0 and make a new set of characters. I tried my hardest and completely failed at enjoying this game in the current state. The most fun I had was solo grinding Tel Ekir for 2 days straight to collect enough ears to get the Ashira Illusion for my 19 enchanter. Finding a group is completely possible, but I think I'll take WoW's version of grouping where a group is injected directly into my veins without any friction, where I can run a dungeon in 30 minutes and then take a break from socializing instead of no-lifing a fucking 20+ hour grind session, which was interesting and a bit of fun, but the next few days none of them logged back in and I was basically soloing and making alts again.

Found a guild, ran with them, explored with them a bit, grinded until my eyes bled and I was level 19, and then it all basically fizzled out since the main guy had work and the rest of them just didn't log back in? Out of my 200ish hours of /playtime 90% has been in the starting areas, and I've seen enough of EW and NH to last me the rest of my life. On launch, I'll start in the Hobbit lands or somewhere far away from those places. I also won't miss the looting system in this game. Even in a buddy situation I had to step in far too much just to get my fair share of the loot. When bronze stuff started dropping it was basically 2 melee just grabbing everything, and now that everyone knows about scrapping leather/cloth I never get any leftovers unless I become a pitiful beggar.

I think the game might be a lot of fun at launch though, so I'll probably see some of you hardcore types around in a few years when it launches.

That pose has quite some "contemplating my life choices" energy to it.

Been randomly joining NH crypt groups... everyone has been quite chill... the bug parts /for me/ sell more than the medallions - the group never seems to loot or care about the bug parts...but they are the "bug" version of the "medallions" - so on undead time people care...but bugs they dont...so I just loot them.

Some ehh gloves dropped...1 more AC than what I had.. wis (bah) and mana...they gave them to me just because.

There are some gem-something shoulders that drop, so I hope to get them. The faction there is slow AF..they really need to fix it.. the wearbats in UD were way way faster…and that was still dragging slow.

I get that the DEs are super racist so everyone is super racist to them.

This is effectively launch… servers will persist with no reset through launch. I do not see a huge influx of people coming… and everyone is assuming that the “new” people at launch YEARS from now will /want- a fresh server?

Look at the economy… look at the harshness of just the existence of pure coin. Item costs are extremely all over the place… and some of that is purposeful - they want the noob armor of NH to sell for more to players in AV than in UD etc…

Content!! The “old EA” server will have allllll the availability of “newbie” content just as well and open as a fresh server.

The fresh server is only appealing to a group of leet raid players that want to bust in and take over the top- as that will be the only “pre occupied” space.

Noobies, normies and dads… fresh server with no economy and items all controlled by the neckbeards intent on taking over… or… roll on the “old EA” server where people will be like “sure random guy have some gold and moldy armor dusty in my bank”

So really… I just do not see “real release” being some major dynamic shift where the EA server becomes a major dustbin… so, still…this /is/ effectively, release.

Speaking of cheek buns economy, dont let your stuff or account rot! Ill start a FoH thrift store lol

Playing on Dad time I know I can't keep up with most, and I'm ok with that. I really am enjoying the uphill battle.

Soloing on necromancer is pretty piss easy now, just some of the areas are still quite jam packed even though the masses are more in the 30+ levels. Still I enjoy it.

I group up when I can and honestly at this level necro feels really useless in a group haha

You spent 200 hours to get to level 19?

There was one necro if a group that- pulled and split undead mobs and always had 1 mob just being soloed by his pet. Seems useful to me. I am sure there is more they can do.

Some guy in NH w bank was handing out summoned health stones? I guess like the things warlocks made in WOW… was super useful to have sitting in the inventory.

If I stay in a cycle of leveling, I usually return to town every other level-ish.. picking up one of them stones is a great thing to have even if its No rent.

SK seems to be one of the better tanks in groups… I do not think its gear, I am not well geared.. I seem to take dmg better or the same as the inq and do more damage than them even fighter.

One group had a spellblade, we were burning things…then she is like “lol i have been using my harvesting axe” after that mobs barely existed once they entered camp.

I ended up going from paladin -> SK purely for solo dad hour reasons. Paladin feels good. Glad to hear SK seems strong a bit later, I'm kind of surprised you feel like they can hang with Fighter dps though. Fighter, used to at least, feel head and shoulders above other tanks for damage but I haven't played since rework.

Troll Fighter is my eventual main I think. They better get regeneration or I'm going to harvest bugged plants in protest.

Well yeah if we fight undead I'll usually mezz one, then if there's another add I basically solo it with my skeleton. He can tank yellows pretty easily. Then of course I can fear as needed.

I suppose I could pull if I stopped using DOTs because they chunk my mana. Like 95% of my time is medding.

Favorite tank so far is fighter. The one we had last night took like 0 damage

I had a fighter as a tank in BTB last night that I maybe healed like 5 times across 2.5 hours. Was insane.

Maybe not fighter... what is the other tank? I know inq... My grouping is still low overall in my time, and I am only 20.. so /shrug

But I have gotten 50% exp into 20, in a group...killing 90% greens for faction- few random blues and the 1 wondering undead red named. And I have gone up 1/2 of a blue bar of faction.... urgh faction grind

SK v Pal...

SK DPS is increased because all our healing is lifetap- so if I do not want to sit there forever or eat up my 15s a stack wool (wtf) - I am lifetapping between ususally every other mob hit round - with blues I will come out, usually at 80% hp

Also, I feel that SK and Pal damage is about the same - then you add the pet.

I guess I have not really seen a fighter in action so sorry...
