    Nanawa Mine Leves

    Whoever is ultimately in charge of regional leves in Nanawa Mines is either a) an idiot, or b) has a warped sense of humor. A majority of the leves there entail either running thru 93858767 aggro mobs to get to and from the leve mobs, or in the case of the last leve I just did there with my R29 pug, Corpus Adamance, pulling an imp from the far west room where Bardi, which can 1 or 2 shot me, a bunch of fire elementals, and yarzons reside is not exactly fair, especially since imps prefer to stay at range and pummel your ass. Time bonus? What a joke. I'm not doing anymore leves there, and they can stick that place where the sun don't shine.

    Awesome maybe you can try one of the other 2 cities that are in the game.

    Try the other two cities or grab some other players to help would be the logical choice.

    Yes i understand what you mean leves are made to be soloable yet in this area many of them are not or are very difficult due to monster placement and aggro. Ive had the same problem in probably 3 different leves in this area where mitelings/bombs/skeletons/chigoes are blocking an entire tunnel to my leve mobs and even if u kill the aggro mobs they repop so fast that u die before u are able to actually kill the leve mobs. Dont listen to the asshats replying for you to get a pt for "solo" leves. Leves are outright worthless in a pt setting unless everyone has the exact same leves to link. No one wants to tag along for 50-70sp a kill mobs and a 250sp bonus at the end of a leve just to help......... And Jynx hes a damn PUG he is doing Uldah leves i wonder farking why?! let me guess PUG marks? derp. Stop verbally attacking people and get a life.

    well i've done those leves yesterday and didnt have any trouble there, there are a few places that have aggro mobs in the way but as r29 you can easily kill them, i did it as pug 28, now im r30.

    By the way, it should be difficult to do, if not wheres the fun? just equip actions like healing spells and defender, i usually grab 2 or 3 buffs, protect, shell, shock spikes and defender, just 1 or 2 healing abbilities and the rest pug offensive skills, at that level you only have 4 skills worth equiping (concusive blow, victimize, featherfoot, haymaker or jarring strikes, and you have 3 punches you can equip with 0 cost.

    Nanawa has always unfortunately been pretty solo-unfriendly. It's gotten a lot better lately when you know how to navigate alternate routes but there are still a few leves that are mapped out badly. The other dungeon areas at r30 aren't nearly as bad.

    If you needed that leve for marks, Eli, I'm on Istory too and I don't mind helping with a quick leve later on.

    Theres nothing "logical" about something that has been made to be so difficult, it requires multiple players for the equivalant awards of an easier leve.

    One of this games problems is it's illogical Mob Mapping.

    Some of the early quests/zones require you to pass through mobs 20-30 Leves higher than you that are aggressive.

    It makes little to no sense and it worse than any other mmorpg i've ever played.

    I just hope that they are looking into this with 1.19 with the zone revamp.

    It's discouraging to new players, which this game needs (higher population)

    This is your condescending advice? Something is broken so go try the other cities? Some of us still need guild marks. Why don't you go find something constructive to share with the forum instead of just typing for typing's sake.

    I need guild marks, and didn't SE say leve's will now be essentially for the solo, or casual player. There is no way anyone my rank is going to even come close to getting the time bonus on most of these. The SP from these is absolutely horrific to begin with.

    Thanks, bro. I've seen you around. It's not that I can't beat these. Winning isn't the issue. It's what you have to go thru to win, and there is zero probability of any time bonus, which is where all the SP is now with the update.

    Hiko, thanks for laying this out with a sypathetic perspective.

    Perhaps you need an easier game—if that's even possible. lol

    The leves in Nanawa are easy to solo if you know what you are doing and maneuver your way around. Players wonder why mmo's are being dumbed down—instant gratification instead of using tactics to reach your goal.

    The leves aren't the main issue. It's the mobs in the pathway that are agressive and a higher level than the recommended leve level.

    I've had leves that required me to run past aggressive mobs with no alternative pathway.

    In future, please keep "advice" more constructive.
