Figured this should go under bugs since grounds of valor itself is a bug.
I was thinking about leveling another character but my favorite leveling places are now far to exciting.
I don't like fighting 3 of this enemy then 2 of that one then run back to a book to get another "page". I want to clean the tunnel of all goblins. The possibility to get bonus "something" for each set of 5 or 8 i kill wound be nice. That way i could keep moving through the dungeon.
Either way the inner horutoto ruins has to change back to the leveling ground it once was. I'm not sure how i will manage to complete certain quests and missions otherwise.

Greetings Kimmie!
The thread was moved from In-Game Bugs over to General Discussion since it is more related to feedback/suggestions. While we do not have a direct section for any gameplay suggestions, general discussion also serves that purpose. Thank you for posting! -

Fighting skellies? Whack them with a club or any blunt object. Fighting slimes? Kill with magic. Fighting....what's weak against slashing? Ghosts I know of, but what else?
C) Again, who's stopping you from spending all your time in Inner Horutoto Ruins? Except exp caps. -

Ground of Valor is a very nice idea, but SE dropped the ball in implementation. There needs to be more Ground Manual within one zone, placing 4-5 so that you no longer have to run ALL THE WAY BACK to the entrance. Take King Ranperre's Tomb for example, or Fei Yin. I feel that the developers are doing a half baked job implementing this great idea... what a disappointment!!

06-07-2011, 05:18 AMIronsideI agree with the majority of your post, but this one I can answer - a good portion of the area that used to be valid for solo levelling in lower (12-20 or so, maybe) levels is now filled with level 80-90+ mobs of the same families. I've specifically seen this in Beetle's Burrow, but I dunno if it's in other areas of the ruins also; I do know that if you keep running towards the Three Mage Gate, you'll eventually hit lower-level monsters again, but not quite of the same level range.Quote:

06-07-2011, 05:40 AMAldersydeThis. The amount of grounds tomes are totally inadequate and in some places, stupidly placed. King Ranperre's Tomb is one example as there is no tome whatsoever in the basement area where all the high level monsters are. Crawler's Nest could be better placed as well, by putting the Tome in the first big circular room instead of at the very entrance. And again, there's no tome where the new high level monsters are. Garlaige Citadel is annoying because of the gates and needs more tomes.Quote:

MORE GROUNDS TOMES! -

I want a GM avatar like Xophious... then again I wish the GMs replied to my calls within 2hrs, might be why i stopped calling them (I pass out while waiting)... But Kimmie has a point and another post has a point, the places for the books is rather laborious, i just ended up going back to do a page for gil. I seriously wish that they did something with the monsters, like make none of them agressive since with places like Ranguemont Pass you need to through aggroing monsters that are T 90 to get to Beaucidine Glacier for the first time...

So the OP is saying that they believe the Grounds of Valor to be lacking of normal development of intellectual capacities. Which it does, as it's counter intuitiveness in how xp grinding works in the given areas could very well be defined as "Retarded". There's medical terminology, and negative slurs. Stop being offended by a medical term. -

Are they going to ignore this? The trend I been seeing is that SE created new things, dropped the balls, and then never bother to adjust. Chocobo Racing, ZNM and Pankration are good example. Now Ground of Valor... And while we are on the subject of improvement, would it be too much to ask for the developer to make the BCNM/KCNM to warp us close to the place instead of having us wasting another 30 mnts just to get there....

Shit has been out for like a month. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
Old-school SE does things like leaves Frogs broken for five months. Going a month without an update doesn't mean that they've forgotten the event, it means that the next update hasn't hit yet.
