Mob level distribution is pure insanity

[Tibian]

As much as I'd love to rant and hurl my frustrations at SE right now. I am just going to be constructive and post this.

Please (and rather quickly) re-evaluate the insanity that is your mob distribution. The level 20 leatherworking quest has me running to Quarrymill in order to deliver the armor. If you're unaware of that that path looks like, let me paint you a picture.

Path 1: hoards of level 55+ monsters that 1 shot a level 27 Thaumaturge with buffs.
Path 2: hoards of level 55+ monsters that 1 shot a level 27 Thaumaturge with buffs.
Path 3: hoards of level 55+ monsters that 1 shot a level 27 Thaumaturge with buffs.

I am experimenting with path 4 right now. But I imagine it is more of the same insanity that the above pathways include.

Edit: Path 4 actually worked. Regardless, the amount of frustration this brought me was a little excessive. The mob distribution still needs to be evaluated heavily.


Fix this.

While you're at it. Review each of the quests in place to ensure this doesn't ever happen again.

Also, frontier hubs must be accessible in much the same manner. I'd hate to have my level 10 quest take me through level 60 mobs...

And redo the entire Black Shroud while you're at it.

I got to Quarrymill on a rank 20 botanist without running into 1 agro mob. Their class quest is there as well.

I have a feeling you went the wrong way to get there.

If I remember it correctly, I believe safest way is enter from southside. Please don't ask to dumb down the game some more. I would really like more mobs and faster respawn times to make sp grinding more feasible.

The south was the correct way. But regardless, how is someone who has never been there supposed to know that.

I dont want to be rude, but why do you play n mmoRPG?
You got 4 possibilities to reach the quarrymill (i guess you checked your map and figuered out 4 paths), all right. You take one path and see monster too high to pass. So you try the second path and so on until you find the right way.
Isnt this the kind of adventure why ppl play an RPG? Well i do and i dont want to play an easy mode RPG which is nothing but boring becuase it takes me by the hand whenever there is a little problem coming up. I want to solve such problems by myselfe and be proud when i did.

I prefer Hello Kitty Island Adventure MMORPG.

Yes having an MMO not hold your hand the entire way is wonderful. But this is just stupid, its not exploring like you claim. Exploring is finding a little nook and cranny of some really cool area (like the very north east of Black Shroud) and finding some cool buildings and NPC's ect. Not traversing through an impossible linear path that is "EXPECTED" to be at your appropriate level. If they wanted you to use the SOUTH path, then why isn't it noted in the quest dialogue or said by an NPC? The fact of the matter is, they probably didn't think about the mob placement considering only one path is viable. Not to mention this issue (apparently based on other posts and testimonials) exists in every zone. Poor planning, just like we've seen in every other aspect of the game. Its just something SE has to fix.

I do need to agree with the OP somewhat. The quarrymill isn't too bad, but the mob distribution does need work all around.

I agree that there are some real issues with monster placement and progression structure.
