Curse

They are giving you a pearl, and you dont accept it. You just want your dirty rock.

You are not supposed to go stand in the middle of billions of minotaurs and just stand there. Alone. No you see thats your dirty rock there not to much fun, well rocks can be fun.

But, lets look at the pearl. You could be a protection monk, with your guild, or some friends go exploring the desert. Or Kryta! Even if you already have, set a goal. Say you want to go get some awesome screenshots of your guild out somewere private were hardly anyone goes. You will have so much fun, and there will be some nice drops along the way. So what if you dont get as much in as little time as farming, at least you will be having fun. Thats what games are for right?

That said, feel free to try out some solo builds. That can be fun too. But you can try moving around, maybe getting someplace.

Has the frog appeared in Europe yet or is it just US?

I'm not sure why people complain so much about the 105/55 builds when they don't complain about other builds that can solo, like the warrior one. There are also elementalist builds that can solo some high end areas. If it's just because of UW, then I think that is a little silly; 90% of the time, soloing UW doesn't get you much these days other than lots of exp and demonic remains. It's usually much more efficient to solo griffons or something along those lines. But I don't hear many people complain that warriors/eles can solo griffons too.

So, I don't get the complaints. Personally I think it is pretty cool that people came up with such creative builds where all the skills and items have to work together so perfectly. I hate when people say things like that are exploits, when 1. they took a lot of creativity to come up with, and 2. they are working as the game intended them to. I mean, I could see complaints if this build was interfering with people personally - but the only way you will come in contact with it is PvP, in which case it is easily disposed of with enchantment removal. Why do people complain about this?

btw, the frog appeared again after this one. theres a thread on GWOnline.net with it.

the biggest thing is that the frog has said big news within a weeks time. also, that there might be a new area other than Sorrows/Grenth. also, he confirmed guild storage

Sandman Uk · Aug 19, 2005, 10:37 PM // 22:37

Because it's the only viable way for PVE players to unlock runes from farming certain areas.

Before I started seriously farming, I had never seen a superior vigor or absorption rune. After hundreds of hours of "normal" play, ascending multiple characters, I had only seen ONE drop in all of the parties I had been in. PVP players can unlock one in a few hours.

In normal play, chances of getting anything worthwhile is very slim. At least with farming, if you've managed to get the correct runes and skills, you can have a much better chance of getting those items unlocked - that would otherwise be nearly impossible to get otherwise.

Nerfing farming, or the 105 monk is stupid. It hurts NO ONE, and just is getting called for a nerf because some people can't STAND the thought of someone being able to do something "cheap". Waaaahhhhhh.

/signed

soloing on my 105 monk is the only time I dont get blamed for our group losing in fow (even, no, especially when its not actually my fault). And its my only chance of making money since all of my drops have sucked so far (650 hours or so and counting)

btw: my monk was my first char and I have used him for a long time. Enchant removals are not the way to go if you want to nerf uw more. most of the monks spells and best skills are enchantments; more so than any other caster anyway.

I have friend who uses the 105 build. Except, he uses the skills on my warrior.

You know how effective a warrior is when he can take no more than 5% damage? Combined with three stances? I can aggro loads of enemies and wait patiently until everything is on me. Few AoEs, and the battle is over. No need for the necro to bring energy management BiP, WoP, or Ritual. No need for more than one warrior. Bring in two other monks with Spell Breaker for the invinco-warrior and nothing can stop you. Watch out for Chillbains though and Renewal.

Why can't A.Net give us some straitforward information... Or at least straitforward hints that don't involve waiting around lions arch for a $&[email protected] frog?!

To piss you off?

Respect The Frog, or some big dude wearing all black will come knocking on your door...

I don't mind letting classes solo, every class can do it, but the 105/55 is just to much. All I see now are monks running into UW alone, wtf you aren't supposed to solo UW. Even if its nerfed why would you complain? Monks are still insanely powerful in PvE, you can still solo. Oh big woop you might die a few times, guess what your not gods.

I don't see how its not ruining the game, UW drops are now pretty much non excistant, I wonder why.... (combination of invicimonks, ER eles, trappers but the latter need groups). I have to go to FoW to get good drops and actual monks that aren't there just to show off...

All that people want is a quick way to do everything, and thats bull do we all have to make 105/55 monks just to keep up? I doubt the devs intended Snake Dance to be soloable, the trolls ok everyone can solo, but the entire map, thats a bit much.

I play as a solo 55 monk. I think you should be able to solo some parts of the UW (just as my necro can solo most of the Ring of Fire and Abbadon's Mouth mission. However, my only complaint with this is that it is FAR too easy, just like EVERY PART OF THE GAME.

This is pathetic. With my build, I can go afk with 7+ Aatxes all chomping on me, and come back without my health have even budged.

Ours is better because if we're ever stuck on an island with it, we can eat it!

But if there was no spoon, then there must have been no cookies. So instead of being a positive, its a negative. She decieves you by offering fake cookies!
