ppl seem to be missing the point of party mobs

Post by user »

not sure if the same situation is happening on other servers, but on olympus most ppl are still grinding the same old way

for chinese i see how it is possible, but for europeans?! wth are ppl smoking? i cant farking stand the 30s delay (figure taken from cSRO) i have only seen one party on the party system done right. stating which mob tp grind, which build is needed, which lvls are welcomed to join

the point of the party mobs is to encourage partying up with others, so you can gain exp faster since you aint gonna die as easily since you got medics backing you up

not trying to spawn party mobs is like giving up an entire forest for one tree, since if you got a well-balanced party, you can pretty mow a party mob down pretty easily. b/c of the high exp and gold drop rate, even with a shared system, you still got a lot to gain

well, this is just how i feel

i have soloed one before by using ice nukes then running away and using an earth nuke.. then repeating. :D but, i have seen plenty of parties today all leveling with each other. It is much easier to do this with guildmates youve known for a while, because if youre in a party with random people, everyone doesnt really give a sh*t about anyone else.

Have you even played yet? Soloing is entirely possible. I can tank a party mob my level pretty easily.

grinding in an exp share pt is the fastest way to level up euros without a doubt. only solo if nobody you know is online at all lol because its so much faster with a healer, tanker, and nuker in one party.

I have yet to join a random party and find them grinding in a organized fashion.

Wizards nuking anything they see.

Tanks running around all over the place.

I also find it very insulting when they set the items to distribution. Let's all screw the support classes (i'm a warlock)!

well eventually when the 90% of the community that doesnt visit this site realizes there is something different about euro it will even out

or another possibility is that they will get so sick of going no where because they know nothing that they will just quit
well hopefully at least :roll:

If you can't find a party, then make one. Go around looking for people to join. The exp you gain is so good. (lvl 21 woot!)

Try and have 2 clerics in a party.

Lol, my union in troy seems to be about the only one that is party grinding. We have 2 clarics, a bard, several mages, several pure str's, and some others I am not sure about yet. It is spiffy though to go out and grind with real people for once... instead of bots who don't talk or help in any way. ^____^

Of course soloing is possible. I'm a wizard and I can solo very well.

But seriously, where is the fun in that? I'd rather form a party if I could.

same thing on Athens, in the party list we were like the only party who setted a level restriction, and defined what players we needed in or party.

In the end we had 2 wizards, 1 double ax, 1 2H sword and 1 bard working togheter.

I now already now we do need another tanker in that party, i died (wizard) a lot.

And indeed, the levelling speed in a good party is incredible.
I hope all start to realize that cause otherwise euro completely goes past his intention

i dont see the problem with soloing.

im a s/s tanker, and ive leveled much faster alone than in party


potions isnt that bad, its only 15 second delay.

i dont even need potions, i just grind on giants everywhere, get 4-5k xp, and end up healing while i attack, just from the natural 5 you get every second, since i take 1-2 damage each hit

yes i have played in a party with my guild mates (seems like the biggest hercules guild now..) and it is enjoyable since we can all voice chat over xfire, someone will say something, then i type in a funny retort and everyones like ooo arc. well, my point is,

soloing isnt that bad.

(also, note to wizards and warlocks, pretty much all ranged magic users, good place to train from 20-28 is by the aircraft dock to the right of harans tower, very very slow mobs there and you can just shoot and run.)

Not true. I found one right away, and it lasted almost all day. Even joined one of the guilds from the party.


edit: btw. yesterday in that pt some guy got SOM armor pants. 8)

Buddy, do not play solo. Grab a few guildmates and farm with them. Much more fun.

If you want it to be even more chaotic, get everyone to do a 1 star merchant run, with only ONE item inside. This way, random thiefs will spawn, while you are fighting the party mobs. The chaotic fun is awesome, and you will not need to risk lossing much money.

We did a Chinese shared party last night, and had loads of fun (more than I can remember ever having playing this game). 8 of us, all around lvl 70, grinding in the niya hunter area. Party mobs all over the place, with the party giants being a real treat. It's much more fun than grinding alone, and any bot stupid enough to come close would be killed very quickly by a few party mobs.

I also spent some time shared partying in the niya remains last night. Fighting a Niya General Party Giant makes Yarkan feel like a piece of cake. I think we spent at least 10 minutes with 8-10 people, several of which were level 80, while other party mobs were showing up on a regular basis as well. I even had to res a level 80 blader...

party mobs are great :)

better than the when mobs spawn in the wrong area (niya general at bungwangs happened to my gm, and killed all the bots), cos they dont stand a chance, yet they still try to kill them.
Started playing again, on CSRO now though, not ISRO (:

haha +1

we went on a guild grinding hunt :
1 rogue (close combat - daggers)
1 mage (nuker)
1 warrior (tanker)
1 healer/resser
1 bard (bufs+graswalk)

and the thing is we found some lvl 24 sos daggers, we grinded on orange mobs and it was verry verry effective ....

ya im grinding in olympus and i'm very disspointed of the noobs too. They just never grind in paty. And if they form a party they will make it non-item sharing (truly sad for the clerics..). Not to mention that they are not willing to exchange equipment. Male knight wanna hug all his garm drops instead of exchange with teammate with something he can equip.Well... sux for iSRO, i better stick with cSRO.
