Will discuss in staff about exchange

IMO, what's going to happen :

Increasing the gap between Hardcore and Casual players.

Some people gona leave.

Druid..Cleric..Shaman of elite group will respec, no need to spec buff if u can buff yourself.

I see why u dont replace items, but what about OTD and Quest Items like Pooka Lords Cloak? I ve the old version, can i delete it somehow to get the new one?

Do not delete OTDs. Will discuss exchange. Hang tight and post requested items in the thread please. Mark OTD's as OTDs so I can see them.

Are you also discussing exchange for Akars for example?

No. Tajendi items will not be changed to higher delves

Did new Tajendi items receive this upgrade?

If so. . . I'd be shocked!

No modifications have been made to any tajendi items.

Barrelnerf, Hastenernerf (while custom mounts still exist) , INCREASING new str/con charges which now only drop from 1 rare mob and not from 2 anymore ... to be continued

What u say and what u do .. i cant understand it - its in no way casual friendly, like u said u wanted it.

The gap between hardcore players and casuals is getting bigger and bigger - now they need a 15p? mount, a inventory full of buffpots which they have to craft for themselves ( means they have to make an alchy) because they cant buy them all due to less supply, and even if they craft their buff pots, the guys which play 24/7 and camp amg will have charges with higher value then right now.
Oh wait maybe they are lucky and can buy an old charge from those players, who farmed months for their and are now ****** off because u guys are crushing whole sc sets.

No wonder that i see only the 5 same faces every day when i decide to go solo emain for a while.

Any Logic behind this? I really cant see it, u guys should be forced to play this game for a while, without guild, u have to solo rvr or smallmen for some weeks and see how its like, what u made and still make with your changes and taste the Uthgard way of full buffed viper3.

If a player runs viper3 they don't need to be full buffed things just fall over dead.

Thats all u have to say, a sarcastic answer to those viper3 buged chars which run around?

I started here on Uth, like many others, didnt knew anyone, so i picked a class for solo/smallmen to have some fun - i read a no bb server with classic setting.
I loved hib on live so i took a Ward, i thought speed and basebuffs, i will be happy with it - it was a very nice char on live even before all of his buffs. I grindet all my way up to 50 and 4l2, and started solo rvr because the guys i met in levling period were Pvm junkies only.
After a few days i found out, i invested months in a ****** useless char ... the speed for solo... is worth nothing, every paladin/fulltank/reaver ... (insert random no speed class here) can chase u till the end of time with their stupid custom horses.
The buffs i offered were worth nothing, because most of the enemies run fullbuffed solo/smallmen on this no bb server.
At this point I took a long break, didnt thought i would come back, happily i did and stayed, not because anything changed in the good way, only because I had the luck to find a few really amazing and rvr active guys.
Nevertheless, the way i started here, was on my own, i invested so much time in a char and then i realized, it makes rarely fun because of all this fullbuffed speed classes out there, which shouldnt have speed or buffs.

I respec to solo a week ago to see how its now... jesus christ ... i found 90% of the time those old fullbufed mounted players - and that few randoms i found - omg, they had no buffs, no endu pots (checked hz, there were none to sell at this time) , i had pity with them, they were RP fodder nothing else.

And here starts the loop, they have absolutly no chance, even if they come with 2, so they log because they find nothing else, only the fullbuffed ones, years ago their were enough casuals with same buff situation and everyone made some rp, so they came back.
Most of them will never been seen on the server again, because they cant find any fun in solo/smallmen rvr and will never wait/build for hours every evening till they manage to get in an active rvr guild, they will rather play something like D3.
I would have left the server forever too years ago, especially with the last barrel and now charge changes. Do i really have to push an alchy crafter too, to get the pots i would need every evening, and even if i would do so - i would have less changes vs the new str/con charges ,than now vs the guys with the low old charges.

That really affects Uthgard player count imho and you dont want to see it, that makes me sad - i see only so few new faces in rvr the last months. Bring in speed for all or for none (means hastener back or horses out, not that custom ******) - and if u want to change something with the charges, decrease them god damn it, not increase them - and all, not just new drops (ur really annoying here those guys who farmt months for their - yes me too)

And to that sarcastic post, u should have been forced to solo a bit as any tanky char ... when i started here, went the first time rvr and got 2 shotted by an completly bugged char , who could PA for over 1k dmg even on plate with spec af + viper 3. I was pretty shocked when i saw all those bunch of just pa the fulltank and viper does the rest assasins on that server. On live under OF they needed to kite with snare/diseasepoison or they didnt attack. I didnt and dont cry about it, it doesnt cares me much, i dont go much solo, i have my guild. But like i said... some things on Uthgard should change fast and some things should changed back fast to get the people back and back into rvr - and yes solo and smallmen is a part of it and has ever been, and its more broken than ever before when i checked it a week ago.

Viper3 was never ever what i want to discuss here, i just tried to called the server viper3 Uthgard, should have called it defense pentetration bug Uthgard or something like this, just to point one of the big things out which exist since years and demotivate a lot of players ,like the new changes too.
I knew the bug is fixed, i wrote how it was years ago when i started. Nevertheless this bug stayed for years, and made a bunch of people quit uthgard, and to be honest, theres no big difference if an assasin pas for 680-700 +crit and Viper3 or for 500-600 with Viper 3, so it still makes many people who try themselves in solo/smallmen rvr quit Uthgard.

We get off topic, but same story as always: Lots of tasks, little help. Progress won't be stopped, though. All bugs are fixed, eventually.

I am requesting OTD pooka cloak be allowed to exchange for a new one. I have 2 toons who use this item in template. Let us exchange them or destroy and get new please.
