Re: Paragon Infinity Mir

Transferring my answer from another thread here to piff1, as it was derailing that thread.

Originally made a joke with Hany about getting back online to tele me to 'deadend' quests.



If you @home during the bone quest stuff, it takes you to serpents with no way of getting back (as far as I know) - bear in mind at this point you've never ever been to Serpents...

So on 1 char I've got the few starter quests, where I was tele'd to bone cave bit without handing them in (also the lvl 20 instance quest I can't seem to get back to), and on the other I've got the final quest in the bone cave bit, where you kill the two guards, then OKS (iirc) then go speak to evlimir. I skipped that whole bit basically by hitting @home.

I still have Oma Cavern quests, and I'm stuck in Serpents area.. such a pain as I do enjoy doing them, but the shitty @home feature that I guess does it on a level basis rather then quest completion basis, is just wrong...

Was actually enjoying the story line, first time ever in a mir server, but guess I'll just ignore all the text from now on.

That's how its designed, You reach a point where your quests are telling you to go to places you can't handle, so you have to visit the previous areas to gain exp and better kit.

@Tai - i always just found all the potions on the floor after each kill, didn't find a potions npc until level 20+

Re: Paragon Infinity Mir

@Tai: Pot sellers, in first room (inn). In the Oma/Bone Cave, guy that gives you a new skele if you lose yours next to quest giver. In serpent hold sz after you complete the rescue quest and then in westermarch proper.

@Martyn: Yes, it is very, very jarring isn't it. What you describe is exactly what I saw, and it compounded my feeling of being 'off course' tremendously when coupled with the quest chain shutting off.

"Go to kill horos"
"You mean over there"
"thats it, lvl 25~ wargod, just through that gate *sniggers*
"Ok then....."

*immediately murdered by a lvl 40 odd mob outside the gate*

Still having a whale of a time, but just shut the thing down last night after I quickly worked out the possible stats boosts available through GameShop. I ain't gonna bemoan it, each to their own, but it just ... shut me off for the night.

Re: Paragon Infinity Mir

Honestly i gave up already, despite the opinion i made in beta i gave it another go, i tried to level a tao this time.

Quests are too far ahead of what my level is. Had to constantly stop and grind out levels as the next type of mobs i simply couldn't even hit.
While grinding is fine and expected, this early on its just a dull time sink auto attacking.

Right now i have the level 14 Oma warrior quest, i hit it for 5 damage 1 in 4 swings, the other 3 miss/block whatever... Every special mob has been the same, i need to out level the quests by 3+ levels just to damage them.

-Having to auto attack normal mobs for 5-15 damage at 15; 20s+ per mob with zero interaction is not fun.
At present with no downtime that's going to be about 2 hours of watching my screen auto attack Oma/Yeti just to reach 18 for SFB. There is no alternative.

When i leveled the warrior in beta it was no way near this bad. However, irrespective of what comes 'after' I'm not wasting 4-5 hours of feeling bored watching auto attacks to reach a state in which the game feels more enjoyable.

Explore the town and find out what you can or can't handle. Far left side is usually where you get sent first (Horo/Blasters) then rats/wedgemoths further left of that, then down below that the spiders, then right of that devourers is usually where most people end up grinding for items/exp. That's where the quesline takes you anyhow, but going to instances i.e bug cave if you have the kit at level 30-35 is worth doing if you want some alone time levelling.

I very much enjoyed the quest line progression - I do feel it needs to be revisited and people need to be allowed to hand in old quests and I'd like it if they continued it on and on as the game evolves. What I do feel is they should have removed the "level suggestions" of areas on the big map, as they do not line up at all with your level, but more so your kit and how lucky you've gotten with legendar/mythical/godly tiers.

As someone who enjoys the grind, I am enjoying grinding out paragon levels at 50. I am glad there's a level cap so everyone's on the same page, it's merely a matter of kit that determines your strength.

One thing I worry is it'll go down the Galaxy route, and that the AC and AMC given on items will become so ridiculous that fighting someone with 1kit above you will essentially be impossible. So far this isn't case, but it could turn into that. I don't mind dying to someone with better kit, so long as I can actually damage them as well.

There's a **** load to do still and explore even at 50, wondering if there's any unique quests or items from perhaps heroic/insane instances, guess we'll find out as the game continues.


Tao's have by far the hardest early game, but once they get their skeleton pet at... 18 is it? they fly through with ease basically. Skele XHM's everything. Honestly hardest part of the game was getting out of that initial noob area you are stuck in now, was a lot easier when everyone else was doing it as there were just items all over the floor to pick and choose from. :fatigue:

Re: Paragon Infinity Mir

Just giving the quests lvls even as just an indication of progression would be beneficial. Don't limit them but just give them a guide lvl or something. Then you'll clearly know if you've missed something/outlvd's etc

Chalace: I never really struggled with that stuff tbh. I did, on all 3 of my chars, massacre a **** ton of deer/yobs and ended up with 3 godly items and nothing below myth though. There are a couple of spots where the mobs are just clustered as hell, and if you 1 hit them, drops ahoy!!!

Re: Paragon Infinity Mir

God wtf are you lot doing, i was completing the 35-40 quests at level 26-30 with ease.

To add onto what Koriban said, i've already come across a problem with Wiz Vs Wiz pvp, I'm currently level 50 and 5th paragon or so not to sure aint checked recently and i was fighting with 2 MostHated members both wizzies, 1 was level 50+ and few paragon level, other was 45+ with nice godly / mythical kit.. We was stood there for 15 minutes casting met, ff, ff, ff Met, FD i could literally out pot their damage with Large hp pots thats just stupid, i know Wiz Vs Wiz has always been a struggle maybe giving FD some sort of cut of the shield?

Re: Paragon Infinity Mir

It was a mistake it was not intended to go live not yet atleast, I just copied the item database from the test server.

It has been removed no one has bought it, this topic is still up for discussion/suggestion on our forums.
