Cape Corinth destroyed, ruined..

[mastermesh]

dont know but doesnt makeing the starting point be there, is the path to the other TP's even possible like it is if. PA to twins for example?
it would be Cape Cornith to twins, is the dificulty the same, or harder?

I would hope the dificulty isnt to hard,

I have not done a lot of TP running since vu 10...

but...

Pre Vu 10, Corinth was one of the second or third easy TPs to get since it was easy to swim up that way...

It used to be something like PA North, Phoenix, Billy's and slowly work your ways North to Corinth, then swim a long ways, get Ithica, Head east towards Argus, then Zeus, then North Space Base, Minopolis, etc... all that after you ran in to big mobs around Zychion if you started out heading west..... so you got to explore a lot... and as for Amethera... used to be almost impossible as n00b unless you have a free weekend or two and enough sweat to buy a TP chip and ME for it.

The PA server is full of people doing the swamp camp missions, I'm sure once that frenzy dies down they'll be back to spawning at PA again.

So a new player spawns as far as possible from the missions that were specifically designed for them.

Irony at its best.

They can use the teleport at corinth to go to Port Atlantis

If they are starting them in Cape Corinth, I would hope that they are given the PA teleport for free so that they can go there on their own

afaik they have PA, PA mall, new oxford and TI city (or so) from the start

the problem before, was when the newbies came to TI castle and the PA server was full, they were effectively stuck on amethera, or often enough at TI , where there are no newbie mobs around whatsoever (unless i missed a newbie mob spawn there)

They need to figure out a way to have their starting area handle more people as well. Kinda a bummer if you have one newbie specific area and not everyone starts there. Or fully develop a couple other newbie areas with all the tutorial npcs(once they exist) etc.

problem is also the swamp camp, as there are many many sweaters (and currently lots of ppl doing quests, stressing it even more)

if they could get a sweating place near corinth or so, or find corinth is an acceptable sweating place, everything would be fine

The PA server is full of people doing the swamp camp missions, I'm sure once that frenzy dies down they'll be back to spawning at PA again.

jeps, i think so too

although i gotta say that the newcomer influx at corinth seems to be bigger than what it used to be before, during my 2 hour eguide shift i sometimes just got 2-5 newbies, now its like 10-20 ^.-
some may relog there from PA and the server put them at corinth, but there are amazingly many newbies

Cape Corinth Beach Camp?

 

[Brooklyn]

honestly, I like it... What I really wish is that they would change it all so that every single tp in game is starter tp for one month or so... That way there's more activity all over the place and not just in PA, Twin, and almost nowhere else.

Totally agree...

 

[Futurama]

So there will be multiple such locations, you just got unlucky that your favourite city becomes one of such locations.

 

[Nirfu]

you'r welcome to Minopolis, a nice place with almost no one there since VU10.

Hi,

The whole layout of mobs needs to be redone with just a tiny bit of planning, IMHO. If you really want to make them spawn at three places, go with orthos, billy's and PA. The three cities surrounding the swamp camp. Otherwise you will end up with stranded noobs, Mentors making tours looking for them, and lots of complaints on both sides.

As he said.
The new mob distribution is horrible - mobs crazily mixed all over the place. Why not make 2 or 3 "newbie areas", each one consisting of 2 or 3 towns surrounding a "sweat camp" with mission brokers?

These "Newbie areas" would have small newbie mobs in the middle, at the camp, and a little harder areas surrounding, maybe even connected with "corridors".

The other mobs would have a lot of place to be distributed, in the other places - and there's plenty of room.

Just a little planning ...

Have fun!

 

[Levantos]

Back when I started a looooong time ago, you were randomly dumped in a field near PA and to figure what to do by yourself - ANYTHING is really better than that though personally it should be somewhere near the sweat camp, or make another one.

Also put bars back into the game ><

 

[N. Radioactive]

I just think that all newbies should start at PA new arrivals. Really it makes sense.

 

[Ops]

unless you like to have a lot of people around you 5assedonkey, why do you play a mmogame/universe/casino ? is just a bit curious

 

[Magic Minder]

but there is fishes in the water now.. and they like newbies.

If they spawn there they get the PA tp free and in fact get the cc and PA so they are ahead.

 

[Nor Alien]

As others has sugested add a mission broker there, with
instructions on how to use the tp I might add, and I think that
the new players would fair a bit better. Myself and Cashman spent
a couple of hours there the other day taking turns on helping all
the new comers get the quests going. Did some double duty running
a few to swamp camp as well. Was even lucky enough to do some
mining and make a nice 400% profit! Karma is king

Yeah we love that too. But unfornatley the server is so overloaded with sweating newbies at swamp they whole thing nearly crashes. So someplayers organize tp runs to Nea's Or created a second swamp camp that would be awesome. Btw Cape Corinth is a nice starting point.

Makes me want to be a guide.

I think it's a great place for them to go. Sure, it's a lot more crowded (It's my home base too) but it's added new life to the place.

It's a nice example of the game because it's so pretty, also.

 

[Dan59]

I checked for few days,
PA is desert and empty,
50 ppl at sweat camp and thats all.
