Personally, you don't belong there prior to completing the PvE portion of the game. Just my opinion, I'm sure others will have different. Already enough people there that think they know what they are doing and completely suck. Finish the PvE and learn teamwork and to listen to the leader and then come to Temple.

Ive had a lvl 20 before , so I know the game , so..

Mo/R9 · Jul 14, 2005, 10:44 PM // 22:44

I like it, it means that the "noobs" weeded out at ascention don't ruin your experience in the UW/FoW. Also, sometimes (note the word "sometimes") lower levelled people are a bit of a liability. That is my take on it.

You and everyone else. Like I said, its a personal opinion. You should have to complete the game before you are allowed into the Temple. Not that it will weed out any horrible players, but it may help reduce the amount that claim they have exp and then get in there and totally blow.

Just because you did well or are experienced on one character does not mean you would be any good on another. I've seen many times where someone will say I have exp with my so and so but that is not the character they are on. Guess what, they are usually the ones that cause the wipes.

Furthermore, anyone under level 20 would never even get my consideration regardless if they have finished or not. Again, another personal preference. I just don't enjoy wasting my time with people who can't listen to anything. I usually pay for my groups because I don't really have a use for more money, and that is why I am quite picky on who i take.

kleps · Jul 14, 2005, 10:49 PM // 22:49

i think its a good thing. besides, most PUGs wont take anyone below lvl 20 anyways.

elenna · Jul 14, 2005, 11:14 PM // 23:14

Personally, I like this change. It'll help those people new to the Temple of Ages who donate a plat to the avatars, not knowing it'll transport them somewhere where they'll be killed in about a second, from wasting their plat. (personal experience)

The Sensei · Jul 14, 2005, 11:37 PM // 23:37

I feel that this is an excellent update, even though I have gone to FoW with my monk when she was 19th lvl. You can see huge difference in that one last lvl and the 30 att. point quests. Just my two cents.

renoncour · Jul 15, 2005, 12:09 AM // 00:09

I think it's a good call because it prevents characters from power-leveling lower level characters. Those quests dish out quite a bit of experience.

Kyle · Jul 15, 2005, 12:09 AM // 00:09

and its probaly to stop the lvl 16's from going in there with guildies to do the 10k+ xp quests so they would be lvl 20 by the time they hit DC. kinda ruins the game. They are trying to make you level over course of time and not go mass xp from UW or FoW

teny10 · Jul 15, 2005, 12:13 AM // 00:13

I think this is just a way to push people into actually playing the actual storyline, which is good for the game as a whole.

EverBlue · Jul 15, 2005, 12:35 AM // 00:35

Yeah, but it sure makes Villainy of Galrath a REAL pain.

Adnams Bitter · Jul 15, 2005, 12:40 AM // 00:40

Had to laugh at that comment. Slowly worked up to level 20 and then Ascended - finally feel ready to tackle Villainy again -- hopeless in my "tweens".

That's why it's worth so much xp, do you really think they're going to make it easy?

I dont, i think its a good move. another lv 20 player on the account or not, you should have to work to get your player to 20.

This will eliminate the 'omg lets make a monk, rush him to 20, and 'smite' mass-farm uw before we even get ascended' movement that was becoming a problem. Get ascended, then go there.

That was thier original intention.

Tetris L · Jul 15, 2005, 11:24 AM // 11:24

I think it is stupid to have the Temple in Kryta, but block entrance. If they don't want low-level characters in the Temple, they should move it to the Southern Shiverpeaks or on the Ring of Fire islands.

spiritofcat · Jul 15, 2005, 11:49 AM // 11:49

It's never been possible to take henchmen into UW and FoW, Ingram, so stop pretending you know things.

I agree that non-ascended characters should be kept out of FoW and UW, but I think they should still be allowed into the temple.
Maybe we need a special Ascended district, which has access to FoW and UW, and normal districts for non-Ascended characters, who don't get that access.

__Aria__ · Jul 15, 2005, 11:56 AM // 11:56

the entrance in ToA isnt blocked to not ascended players, the entrance to UW and FoW is blocked to em.

spiritofcat · Jul 15, 2005, 12:08 PM // 12:08

Good to hear that.
Are you trying to pose as Aria, one of the mods of this forum?

Artemis Bladewing · Jul 15, 2005, 12:14 PM // 12:14

First of all dont lie and prentend you have a clue about stuff if you dont. Who evers says they played UW or Fissure with henchies is just plain stupid and actully has no idea of how to play because YOU CANT TAKE HENCHES TO UW OR FISSURE, never could and never will.

2nd of all all players can enter ToA it is just that ppl who havn't ascended cant enter UW and Fissure.

3rd Its to make sure stupid ppl not get into Fissure and UW to mess it up for the rest. If u ascend u have actully gained a lot more expirience. It is pratically impossible to be lower then lvl 19 after ascending, those 50k xp really make a difference. its a good change and those ppl complaining are those that complain about everything.
