More proof Turbine doesn't play their own game.  Mabar is divided up into zones spanning 5 levels (for example, level 20-25).  However, mobs fail to provide any reward when killed if they are more than 4 levels below you.  The result: Level 25s in the 20-25 zone not getting jack shit from monsters when level 20s are spawning level 20 mobs.

How fucking hard would it have been to create zone bands spanning every 4 levels instead of every 5 levels?  Such a simple thing, yet so god damned frustrating.

Honestly, the better solution would be to not have anything spawn in the 20-25 area with a level of less than 21.  Who cares what the stated bottom of the level range is.  Just don't spawn anything that the max advertised level in each range can't get a reward for.

That would require people to think it through.

As an aside, will Vampire Lords drop fangs for level 25's?  My gut feeling is "haha, fucking NOPE" but I haff no proof.

Hell, no. But I had hoped that you'd post something with a bit more finesse, wit, substance, or balls.

I snagged some last night on Velania, but she is level 24.

I have a sinus infection, temp and body aches. I am travelling and I am interviewing people this afternoon. Sorry, I am pretty out of it.

Ugh, hate sinus infections.  It's worth the criminal background check, and mandatory 2-day waiting period for some Sudafed though.

It took all those Turbine fucks a week to put this together and not one of them realized this?  So amazeballs.

It does feel that way right? Interestingly,  the compendium has this statement:

*Vampires can be killed by players of any level without penalty." So, bugs?

Also, to add, I've not seen the Storm Giant Councilor drop anything interesting.  Something like a cursed fingerbone for everyone would have been nice.

Sometimes it makes me so happy that I leave almost all my toons at level 24.

Thanks mabar for giving me yet another reason.

I spent an hour trying to explain to FoS during the lama event about how players could grief during this event.  A level 10 guy running around in 20-25 can ruin all your spawns.  Was pretty much ignored.

Nah, clearly they weren't providing the right feedback. "Right" of course, being the answer to the age old question: "So did I do a good job, a spectacular job, or the bestamest evar?"

FOS' approach to the pumpkin carving contest at Turbine's offices today - is also his approach to pretty much everything else.

That makes me sad, because we had some loud idiot in the 16-20 instance yelling about how mean we were all being when we told his level 15 who was trying to pike our spawns to piss off. All bloody evening.

Le sigh.
