NEXUS7 - 10/12/2006 4:20 PMwell I have just had some bad news from the GMs which I will not go into detail over, but the out come of which is I wasted hours of my life for nothing.
NEXUS7 - 10/12/2006 12:53 AM"O how I hate this place, its nothing like the cool place we hand out at"
Blackguy - 10/12/2006 12:09 AMNobody have ever said the wall isnt there. But your saying its completely impossible to get past, and thats not true. But DM quest help alot, and if you can't commit to any of those, at -all-, then there is not much hope. But I have to say, there is alot of low level quests these days, more than ever, and they are timed at alot of diffrent times, and diffrent days, so theres is bound to be one that fit to your schedule.
Rayenoir - 10/12/2006 12:13 AMIf I'm not mistaken, all of your characters save your most recent have been special subraces. Your most recent character was only played up to level 5 as it is. Given that half-giants have an LA of +3, tieflings +2, and brownies +2 as well, you're effectively playing characters that are receiving XP as though level 10 or higher. That is a documented slowdown point, so I'm not really sure why you're so frustrated. Perhaps if you had stuck to one or two characters you would not have run into the wall you seem convinced is in place to frustrate those who don't have a lot of time to invest in the game. As with everything, more time means more returns. It's simply how things are.It's not all about level. Make some friends and go somewhere with them. It's surprising just how much even a small group of similarly-levelled characters can manage, particularly when those characters have level adjustments to be more powerful than other characters of a given level.This isn't your first time having these frustrations. Back in July, I seem to recall a post similar to this one. Did you forget when you came back what had frustrated you before? If the "wall" is there, then it's because you're still approaching it the wrong way.
trillex - 10/12/2006 12:37 AMI've been here for a very long time, playing on and off and have only reached level 9 with one character, who then was recreated and haven't gotten any further than level 7. So I got 2 level 7, 1 level 5 and 1 level 3 and I also feel that there is a huge and almost impassable gap between 7 and 9. But, I did have fun with all of those characters and I will, slowly but steadily, get there.All in all, every hour used on this server has almost always been a joy but my timezone and limited time right now, makes it a bit hard to do anything.
Pankoki - 10/12/2006 2:47 AM With the XP you have accumulated with your other five characters and taking your ECL into account your main character would be over level 11. You cannot expect to have six characters and level up steadily with all of them with limited playtime. Only those with plenty of time can even attempt that feat and even then it takes time. It requires patience to get over the wall, but it does not require for you to exclusively just go to DM quests. There is no big hidden secret conspiracy. It's simply being there with groups and slowly increasing your XP through crafting, sporadic quests, quests, and/or adventuring.
LordCove - 10/12/2006 2:55 AMI've actually noticed that spending 2-3 hours adventuring with friends can get you the equivalent of 2-3 hours worth of GM time....depending on where you go of course.
