Runes of Magic US / AU

if 3-4 people plus alts are running an instance then there should be plenty of you left over to form your own 12 man group

get motivated

Please, we all know who we're talking about here.

I think it is all intertwined, strats, burn, and whether or not ROM is no longer a mmorpg. I mean what Gigi has stated, as to why he believes this is not longer a mmorpg has everything to do with being able to burn the bosses with 3 or 4 real toons and the rest alts. If there were more strats then you would have to use real people or I think you would anyhow, but the way Rom is now you need 3 or 4.

If I remember correctly, they weren't able to clear HoE with 3 ppl and alts. Were they able to do PoM at level cap? I don't know to be honest so I'm posing a legitimate question here.

Compared to the older instances like GCH or TOSH for instance, you would not get away with 3 people and alts, it would be impossible. A lot of us in this thread would just like to see more of that type of instance over this burning with alt buffers. It makes it more fun for everyone and there would be no animosity between players like this 3 people + alts has caused.

Sankeniya in HoE and Thallsus in CoE are good examples on current endgame where I doubt people would be able to get past with an alt party.

Quoted from "Jada28"

You will still have those types of players that would rather run with 3 or 4 plus the alts just because they can, and until the game design for instances change from being able to burn, things will remain the same.

Let them play however they want. It's 3 people. You have a whole other server to play with. It all started with people complaining they don't get runs. What stops the rest of the server to start a PoM HM party? Here I go again being the douche that will tell you it how it is. Honestly, if you can't go and clear PoM HM w/o those 3 people then maybe you don't deserve to be there.

Better yet, make it so that the broken high dps classes can't do the strat mode instances and have to buy the gear or get carried by the not so broken, so that the broken high dps classes can farm the elite mode. Maybe then people will be more generous and caring of one another.

How would you stop a Rogue/Mage, one of the best burn and sustained DPS classes, from stratting? Wait, let me just go through all the strong burn classes.

Mage/Warrior, I can easily switch to Warrior/Mage. Flexibility. Also the damage I do at the end of 5th CoE is not bad as M/W. So unless you stop the 15s burn right at the start M/W would still be viable on a strat boss.
Warden/Warrior and Warrior/Warden have pretty good sustained too, at least from what I saw in HoE trash farming. The only problem I see is their mana pool. Never played one so I wouldn't know if it would be an issue with Mana pies and pots. Or you know, they could go Wd/S.

tis but a fairytale magio. Could be done, but would require way more effort than anyone will put into this game at this point, or even at any point really.

They should make a boss that insta-kills any players in a raid that are of the same primary class, that'd be fun.

Get actual players playing those alt buffers, works nice in my guild.

ROM is just not worth the effort in either time or money for the entertainment gained. That's why this game died. The excuses to follow are all just a blame game.

These forums, on the other hand, are entertaining. And free.

What could be done? Implementing your, not so brilliant, idea? Or if you're saying that switching to a different class combo is too much effort? just lol

There's only like 10 different classes in the game lol. Can you stop giving these "suggestions"? lol

I think this thread, like so many others, has lived it's course.
