Hasn't Janeway been here for too long?

[AlmrOfAtlas]

Apparently it's here semi-permanently. Part of an ongoing recruitment drive.

Like this event is feeding more bots than real players to the server.

At the same time, leaving new players clueless how to continue playing after leveled 70.

[Xplay4eva]

If Janeway gets expanded, I think doubling or tripling the kill counts with weak monsters for the level could be the way to go. (up to 99, anyway)

 

What about a Janeway (or sister) that gives out quests only after trans?

 

Then again it might be just as good to leave Janeway as she is only going up to 70.

 

Depends on how far everyone wants the shortcut to go.

Lvl 75 is good enough , people should be strong enough to kill at goats till 86 and from there they can go till lvl 99 at al3 or id3.
As for trans make it till lvl 75 too .

A good quest should complement or be an alternative to normal way of leveling (what RO originally was), not replacing it. This is going too far, when you see many newbies ask what should they do after they've done with the Janeway and couldn't level anymore without shortcut/help.

 

Making people too dependent on quest is not wise. Unlike most newer MMORPGs, leveling in RO was never quest-centered and this is making RO different from the other boring newer MMORPGs. How many things could a player miss to explore/learn from level 1-70 if he sticks to only Janeway? Given that the target monsters the quest is providing are not well-designed to fit different classes. Every class needs to learn differently while Janeway is flat on this.

 

And there shouldn't be a shortcut for trans. If you have managed to transcend but still need a shortcut, there's something very wrong here.

Is it strange that I agree and disagree at the same time? I can understand the preservation/exploration point of view but then we have to ask ourselves just how hardcore do we want Classic to be? If players have specific ideas of places in the world where everybody should visit then I believe it could be possible to have Janeway quests help to encourage going to a few of those places. I also agree that higher level Janeway quests should be tough but I do not think they need to be quite as a tough as pure grinding either.

janeway has to have more quest options. i would recommend cliff sniping maps like mummys or agriopes. those were fun back in the day!

So.. it seems like it's a huge oversight that the event gives a thief job 50, and not enough skills to distribute those skill points in.

You are using an equipment that already gives you a thief skill. It could be : Snake hat, Injustice card, chick hat, Happy wig, Smokie card, Jumping Janeway beginner set.

 

Try unequiping it then put your skill points normally.

Came back from a long break from RO. Janeway is cool but I think the Boa quest should be prior to Zombie quest which is much more difficult.

[Zynerex]

still open?
