[quote="CHOJINE"]At this stage, most either have a+50 character or are happy with their character and don’t enjoy the prospect of a +50 route. Why not make all monsters +50 bonus as to encourage people to return and make new characters and enjoy hunting where they want? So we can play in merc, hunt in the dungeon, use all monsters? I’d love to play that route again, scalies, werewolves etc but no one uses them now :( I doubt people with a+50 character would even care as long as it boosted the usercount:)[/quote]

[quote="CHOJINE"]Sorry for double post, on my phone. I sincerely think that somas magic window is the tyt/dungeon/merc phase, the game has since become mechanical, and it’s fun element is replaced with spreadsheets of when to swap to X monster, what monsters never to even hunt. It’s a shame, as there are so many enjoyable locations and enemies in soma.[/quote]

[quote="KAZOKU"]100% agree Dont fancy lvling a human to the lvl a new char on bonus route All thing then putting me off is the amount of hours needed to afk for con/int[/quote]

[quote="RAZOR"]+1[/quote]

[quote="DEAMOND"]+1 and triple healing rates to 100int [/quote]

[quote="FOXTRCK"]+1 I started making a new character and got it to level 40 something, with a bow and 50+ stat track, tanked it too but in the end, couldn't be bothered. Felt an effort to maintain a tank and dual log, the game is just so boring to play that way and the same mobs for so long is just ridiculous. And I can only imagine those determined to make a pvp character end up going through with it. For me this is one way (not ideal but works) of fixing the 50+ stat track.[/quote]

[quote="MICKYC"]healing and con early rates should be x1000 to get it out of the way easily in a day or two and not to be a slog and grind without anything good to say about doing it[/quote]

[quote="DEAMOND"]I wonder if this may be better off being posted in the general section as it would seem all those whiners who opposed the thread i specifically made about this and was flamed to 12 pages have disappeared to wow. [/quote]

[quote="DEVONNE"]They should do this anyway but even if they did it wouldn't change the fact the rates are so fast that you'd blast through the early hunting zones in no time at all.[/quote]

[quote="ROCH"]Well, the complaint is everyone whos following the +50 route has to follow a very prescribed mob route which negates 90% of the mobs in game. If all mobs were made +50, wouldnt everyone just hunt what has the best drop file instead? There would still be very much an optimal way to do things, just it'd be different. Two examples: In VoD; who's going to bother hunting mess/ban, any of the bears, either shanis or apus/akah if Palus are on +50 stats. They are easy to hunt and have a fantastic dropfile. People will move from them to BLG. Any other path is just inferior. In abias, even after a change like this, no-one is going to hunt any of the abais mobs (outside BLG, NM, Boars) because they drop nothing of value, or at a negligible rate. The only ones who'd do it are old players looking for a bit of nostalgia. For this to have the desired effect, there'd need to be a sigificant revamp of the mob drop files to make these other mobs desirable targets, rather than just their different skin and different background to look at. Just my two cents. [/quote]

[quote="AMOEBA"]the downside to making all mobs +50 bonus is that.. ur forcing every1 to make a new character who hasn't done the 50+ already.. If ur happy to make another character and get all this juicy +50 bonus rates then great... but there maybe quite a few who aint done the +50 route and really cba to do it all again and will feel they're at a disadvantage now [/quote]

[quote="MICKYC"]I've never done the +50 route as the real need for 2 PCs has always stopped me and I am still on a Day 1 crap chr. I would almost certainly start a new chr if they did this and I didn't need a 2nd PC to do it[/quote]

It is extremely tedious either way though.[/quote]
