Asmos would kill to have an area like storm circle with the bosses we have. Bollvig is one of the bosses for us that drops golds on a regular basis to DE into good stones for enchantment.
Being Lv36 sucks. The grind is this game makes Lineage II look like Ragnarok Online. Haet. Can't find any decent quests. Leveling in Alsig is like lining up to be ganked. Belusian is boring. Kromede is a lying whore and does not have a dagger for me. Weaponsmithing expert quests are ridiculous and part 2 has cost me 4.5M so far with no success. Haet.
Etc etc.
I'd gladly give it to them if I could aether in relative safety. Those NMs benefit a very select few on my server considering the super powers like Lost Cause on Azphel. There's no chance to out muscle them or the Brazilian legions who do nothing but go after world NMs. There's not even a point to trying to compete. What I can do is gather and craft, but when you're constantly interrupted by opponents you can't hope to defend against it becomes a nightmare.
ok my sig is borked?
It's brutal. I've been in Storm Circle working on aethering for about a week and the longest I've lasted is an hour. I've been assaulted by a player of every job in full gold minus templar and sorcerer. Today I got in 15 minutes before a full fenris cleric came by and beat me senseless.
Pfft, you're a chanter. Recovery Spell and find one of the little nooks to hide in.
:<
edit: oh hey there he is
Recovery spell isn't a flash heal and I'm easy to spot on the radar. If I get the heads up I can glide down off the mountain and into the village but that isn't putting money in my pocket, plus they tend to be heading that way anyway. And there's a lot of vindictive assholes around. Right now I'm taking advantage of the fact that the Asmos have a coordinated effort to take an upper fort.
i make it a point to hit storm circle every time i rift. always easy kills in there, every time never fails. thats the price you elyos pay for having such an easy area to gather in.
I swear there's at least 10 pages of solid QQ between Zapiel and Storm Circle. We get it, Hieron is gay for many, many reasons.
Apparently a bunch of people on Nezekan got perma banned for "Invisible terrain exploit" for crossing the bridge to get to zapiel
lol
Doubt it. Way to easy for people to copy/paste an alleged GM message while people "in on it" can just not log their known alts on for a day or three.
No, they actually did get banned, though they reversed the ban this afternoon.
{CC}Trine made a statement in regards to it:
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to clarify the situation about the invisible bridges. Walking on the invisible bridges is not an exploit. In fact we have a quest that involves these very bridges. These paths become visible in the rain to aid you in navigating these bridges. Obviously if you have done this enough you can find your way without the aid of rain.
The players that were banned in this incident should have never been penalized. We are sorry this occurred and appreciate your patience as we investigated this incident and how this unfortunate incident occurred.
Meh, I'd think if they said, "This never happened, STFU!" people would doubt, too. Suppose you could chalk it up to a GM not knowing anything about the game, sorta like FFXI's.
Just jaded into thinking people banned for more innocent things are usually trying to hide the fact they've used some other hack elsewhere and got caught.
Chased by zerg of furbacks

I like the ones who seem to have some kind of insta-root hack if their class can use it, as it pretty much means you die because you can't pull your wings back out. Also think it gets considered a PvE death, too, as I lost EXP the time it happened to my mid-30s cleric while running from a 50 sorc.
Running Dark Poeta, doing fine, drops are even decent. Get past the spallers, running smooth, we get up to Anuhart, BAM, the server starts to have a meltdown. 3-4 second lag spikes every 5-20 seconds. Second wipe trying to manage being unable to react and we should have been done 30-40 minutes ago.
Azphel sucks.
