RE: heRO Leveling Parties!
This event needs to go away immediately, seriously.
I can appreciate the thought of getting parties together and stuff, but this is all wrong.
I was just in the 85-95 party, we went to abyss 3 then odin 3. First there was abyss 3, which was largely a big mish mash and disorganized wipes being held together by admin bragi pushing 31k+ hp on even the squishiest targets, and insta-no-cooldown bragi. Next, we went to odin and had sinx, apple and bragi. This was so easy that any character, of any level, with any gear, could show up and click a skeggiold, sit back for a minute or two and then have a few hundred thousand exp for no effort.
This is demeaning to anyone that has had to legitimately level a character, it is demeaning to anyone that has a schedule that means no parties like this and it also is a big slap in the face for anyone that tries to kill mvps legitimately (especially if you go look for the mvp and it's down thanks to an unfailable GM party!).
I can see where the event is trying to go, hero seems party-phobic and I never see them outside in guild things and specifically organized. There's no over main pick up groups to go mob ice caves or somewhere random with wizards, that I see. This is just WAY too much though.
The thor event when it opened was well thought out. A bunch of parties, Pandora on a rather regular priest passing out some buffs and heals, some @raisemaps to keep it going and we all got to see thor for the first time. This, however, was a GM leeching characters. We couldn't die, we could only win, no effort pure exp.
Also, this will not encourage parties (in the slightest) because it is not teaching people how to party. All I learned was that I should click a skeggiold with /nc on, wait, get 7% exp for free and then feel like a dirty cheap cheater for getting exp gains inaccessible to anyone trying to play legitmately, for zero effort.
Please please please either discontinue this or limit GMs to NON admin ring'd songs and dances. With an admin ring we're looking at everyone having 100k+ hp, 14k heals, insta cast, no cooldown, 190 aspd. This is sickening, broken, and the sort of thing that would put me off playing on most servers =/ it's so incredibly unfair on anyone that doesn't go, and unfairly good to those that do.
Ugh, I just can't describe how much this was not like partying and was like a GM leeching a bunch of players mishmashing around without any regard to strategy. I don't want to get levels like that, or for anyone else to. It's not RO, it's like playing with an admin ring on.
Not to mention how unfair it is on people that're 99/70 that had to legitmately level their chars.
Please >< can we get this toned down or something? It's just wrong wrong wrong. I can understand that no one will support this though, since everyone loves getting more exp than they can usually earn for zero effort.
