Question This event private map is absolute bullshit.

[TimeTunner]

I’m level 186, and the map is full of mobs in the 190s+


I’ve died countless times in there — burned through 4–5 revive scrolls and still couldn’t make any progress.


This is absolutely ridiculous.

Resists Freeze doesn’t fully protect you from freeze effects.


Frozen and slow are treated as two separate mechanics, like Zad explained.


So in reality, slow is completely unavoidable.

The mechanics here are getting more and more absurd.


Take Poison Resistance for example — even at 100% resistance, you still get poisoned.


Even at 10,000% resistance, you still get poisoned.





It reminds me of those ads claiming their beef burger is 120% beef.


Or people talking about 100% pure gold and 350% pure gold.


So how much is actually pure gold?
Players in the high 180s are being forced into maps with level-190+ mobs.


That alone is bad enough.


But in the early versions of Mir I played, if you were lower level and killed higher-level monsters, you actually got more EXP.


Here, that’s not even a thing.

And then there’s armor upgrading.


A level-172 Zuma armor requires you to go into a level-185 Plan map just to do a quest and get Corrupt Gems.


It makes about as much sense as having 200% Poison Resistance — completely illogical.

Is this the GG map you mean by private map? I’m 184 and had no issues with mine.

I find the normal map fine, however when i tried a GG cave with my exp kit on i got destroyed and had to fight more tactical, im yet to try a GG cave in my full kit so ill respond once i have.

So the mob thing comes down to the level bracket your in I believe so anyway.

So your in the 180-199 bracket meaning your have mobs between that level not all the mobs in there are 190+ I’m in the same bracket and I have mobs less then lvl 190.

The resistance doesn’t mean you completely immune otherwise it just be completely broken again as I believe what it does is lower the damage count so if you getting poisoned for 500 damage for 10 seconds with 0 poison res lets say. When you stack the 100 poison res it be 250 for 10 seconds and the time scale for it comes down to the poison recovery so if you had 100 poison recovery it then be for 5 seconds or so I believe maybe I’m wrong on that I’m sure someone would be able to clarify.

But no having 100% poison does not make you immune it’s just be soo broken otherwise.

Xmas event always been tougher for warriors because of slows and not being able to tank with pets like other classes. Invariably its all down to kit. I havent logged for event yet, plan to do some on warrior when double supers is on, hes 191 or 192 with pretty crap kit so will see how it goes for me lol

 

[Aro]

Was chatting with a tao friend about this last night. I am a 195 warrior with pretty ok kit and the GG cave is just so stressful and tough, I have reved dozens of times and had to buy approx 6 rev scrolls last night.

To me anyway this just isnt fun, on tao and wizz the map is a breeze 10mins and its clear for me it takes 20-30mins and I have to be careful as fuck.

I think there's a lot of warriors on here who have forgotten to boost their agility. The magical underrated stat. My 190 warrior with 300+ agility is barely even getting hit in the gg caves
It's not all about damage, I see so many warriors focus on getting more DC PA and fire damage, but please trust me, agility is so incredibly helpful in caves like this, it makes a huge difference. Orb your kit up, use agility sockets, and survive mythic, and you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner

You make it sound way too easy. Do you really think getting Agility over 300 is that simple?


So a level-180 character has to go to a level-190+ map and still push Agility past 300.


Since you’re level 190, why don’t you go to a 200+ map and really experience it yourself?

for a warrior this event is tough, but other event it favours them tbh.

Is there any way to access the 200+ instances if you aren't 200+?
If there is I'd be happy to try it and let you know how it goes

 

[THEFMTT]

Acheiving over 300+ Agility costs dollar.

Agility, please correct me if im wrong, will not stop you from getting slowed from the Grotto Fighters, these seem to be the issue in my experience.

With my full kit on, i have no problems, but this completely negates making an EXP kit which now feels pointless.

GG caves are just a waste of time and God help any Warrior jumping into one on the Full Moon cycle.

Whilst i appreciate any event, i wont be investing. I`ll pop on now and then.

All the best.

I want Christmas trees on all maps like mw bw and pi, random all over.... dropping presents that give random orbs to rare elysian items... i want that.

Thanks for the tip, I realised I can access the 200+ content in the underground using that rune key thing. That was a lot more fun! I was able to survive, just not in big lures, had to use some tactics but it was perfectly doable. That's the level of content I can get some satisfaction out of. Unfortunately the lower level caves turn out to be far better exp for me at the moment which is a shame.

Yeah, I think since GM moved to the new system of the private caves being accessible via gg/ds/me/lp etc. it doesn't make sense any more for them to be associated with presents like before. But that doesn't mean the same mechanic can't be repurposed. Put trees and santas etc randomly on a few maps and maybe the presents they drop could do something else. Double click to use them and it gives a random reward like a small amount of souls, mythic ess, gold, or gg for example. Would be a nice little added touch

yeah 100%, would feel like a euro Christmas I'm sure they did something like that when i was younger. a lot of lower players would like it too tbh as its not level or kit required its just time and effort needed. something people don't seem to want to do.

95% of players are allergic to effort haha
