Ok. I just finished Shadow's Gate, and am level 47. The next dungeon, Rasputin's, is for levels 75 and up! What am I supposed to do in the meantime? The HDoL is too tough to be any fun, even set on normal difficulty. If there are no intermediate dungeons, I shall be extremely bummed.

welcome to the world of the high lvl players.
If you look at the number of lvl 100's from before Rapsutin's you will then see what we had to deal with...nothing to do past lvl 50 really except make the bottom of HDoL and grind lvl's.

I ran HDoL to the bottom 3 times and spent 40 lvls in Demonic Crypts.

Enjoy farming for rainbows and helping out the lower lvls for a while until content catches up to your lvl. Or maybe start another toon...would keep you occupied til that one catches up with your main:)

like Bogey said best place is HDoL and Demonic Crypts....... i would go with lvl 3 of HDoL good loot and good xp.... Crypts bad loot(lots of gold) great xp

Thanks! I'll get grinding. Hey, Bogey...a fellow Oklahoman, I see!

More dungeons are on the way. Looks like the next one is headed out sometime in January -- hopefully targeting between 50 and 75. More monsters, more skills and more mayhem!

Yeah once you hit 40+ a lot of players just respec to shadowmage and run crypts for next 40-60 lvls. When your items get dated, you can just run Hdol3 a bit or trade in your KCs at the bank item vendors.

i am glad you are making new content for lvl 50-75 as that is much needed at the same time so is lvl 75+. Rasputin well is just some place to lvl and farm gold and KCs with. Changing abby every patch is just like a bandaid for the problem. Sure it gives us a new challenge but within a few days the problem gets solved with new build and strategy. A few 100s go do hdol but they usually have some mid 90s with them helping them lvl. Some 100s will do rasputin cause they dont have the gear for abby and need money for all the skills and to gear up for abby. I know you all have alot on your plate with pve, pvp and catering to all lvls but in the past 8 months i have been playing and the past 4-5 months i been lvl 100 nothing new has come about. The servers are littered with 100s now as i dont know where they all came from but it seems like in the past 3 weeks there has been like 75 people hit 100. Most of them i dont even know. This isnt a knock or anything but like i said and many others who have been 100 for a while now said if it wasnt for PvP we would of moved on to another game a long time ago. Just my 2cents, and with the next patch my last statement might be true for alot of people.

Woot a new dungeon!!! looks like I'll have to slow down on Steele then so I can be somewhere close to the right lvl for it.


we're on 44 between Tulsa and Ok City:) but I work in Pryor.

A bunch of Embercore quests are on the way for the next content build (mid January).

steve

no new content till then or are you still planning another upgrade in December?

The content is being finished up now. However, unless we can publish it before the 14th, it's gonna have to wait until January. This is because the folks responsible for publishing the game stop doing publishes during the holidays... most of the crew is on vacation.

There's no way we'll get the test coverage we need to get it out before the 14th. So, it's gonna happen in January.

You can see now why I made the call to release Chunk 2 without the content. The extra testing required would have put us over the 14th deadline.

There's a crazy amount of content coming in the next build. Crazy. So many new items, monsters and quests!

steve

Stephen could we possible get a time table on any new content for lvl 100s? If there is any in the works. I mean we need something other then abby with the same loot as a change.

i would like that where its required to be lvl 100 not recommended. Something else to makes those who lvl to 100 grab 10-12 rbws and leave game.

I would also like to see a dungeon made for guilds. The only dungeon allowed where you would need atleast 7 people and up to 10 max. There would also have to be some sort of lvl differences as well. For example the average lvl of all the group can only be 5-10 lvls lower then the highest in group.

Make the dungeon a harder dungeon then hdol, where it takes longer then hdol to finish with multiple mini bosses who do different tactics.

I wouldnt call 7-10 a raid as if the amount of people was increased it would be just like running hdol but with more people and harder mobs.

Oh the reason i said something about the lvl limit with the highest person in group is so that everyone about lvl 25 like hdol could do it. This will sure make people group and be guilds alot more. I also cant wait to start having 5v5 guild wars on pvp.

I think aythng added to the game msut be accessable for everyone.with no special bonuses just becasue you are a memeber of a guild. if a guild memeber gets aything at all then a non guild memebre should have the same ability to get whatever it is. And before you say then what good is a guild, I say the same thing. I know they are coming, but like other things, IMO, they are a waste of resources when content is and should be the only concern.

ghad i was trying to say you dont need to be in a guild to access that dungeon just need a group of 7-10. Which will make being in a guild something better as you can have the same people with ya and learn how each does things to be faster. But in the same its accesible with anyone with the right number amount.

This is something for those that play in the same time to grab a server pick the right time to do this in, and learn about each other. Which if they decide to pvp in guild battles they are not goin in clueless. My suggestion doesnt mean you cant do this if you not all in the same guild just all have be close in lvls.

I have like 10 tightly knit friends where anything they need i give and same goes for me. All lvl 100s, we fight each other in pvp just to have good games.

Maybe you in world 7 dont have that with other lvl 100s expereince for so long and you enjoy doing what you do and hlep others.

However i can honestly say 65% of the people i liked that were lvl 100, maybe only 20% stayed since i been lvl 100.

And you special 20% know who you are.

Ah yes, but don't forget that all the designs are based on the premise that anyone can do anything another can. Whether it be solo in HDoL or any other dungeon or do quests solo not requiring a large group to complete. I still love the idea of being able to have up to 8 or 10 people in a group.

Thats pretty neat, i live and work in tulsa small world
