      Hello all my Zulu hotel junkies I have thought about playing again once I seen you guys open up last year but never played and decided to play on the re open dec 14 I Went to macro ASAP… started to hunt the second day of shard… figured I would try to get a head start before a lot of people even though most oldies do this lol.. I macroed and continue to hunt while I maxed out my skills…well I decided to make this post since I read in another recent points of people bringing up pvp and how it is unbalanced… because I know how to play this game well.. so after I maxed out my skills I hunted more and more never running into people and I had decent gear actually nice gear Melle and all protects….. well so I thought I would be okay??? I was lvl 5 warrior fully blessed ran into a thief… and I literally got owned faster then I ever got owned I maybe thought he dispelled me!! But with a huge surprise I was still fully boosted and even got to chug a tamala and died before I can even chug another tamala… I just want to get this straight… I’m guessing people will say I’m a newb and need to get better gear lol….
      So thief’s in this server can have two EXTRA skills!!! No protect against there poison.. and people can’t get there own wepons poisoned by a thief? And only spec thief’s can used thief poisoned wepons ???
      I’m sorry I just have to lmao
      So every Zulu hotel shard I played always makes rangers gods and few years ago I think it was Edwards shard who started to make thief’s and bards opt!!! But thief’s where not at all like this server but still owned…..Basically what I’m saying is am I wasting my time?? I mean I thank dream for making a server but is this not a pvp shard? Because I love to hunt but I thought main reason to hunt was to use your items in pvp… but why waste my time hunting for items when this is so unbalanced I get owned as if I’m wearing chainmail and I’m lvl 3… please everyone save your comments on telling me get better items because my set was kinda nasty already… do they have no plans on fixing this??? To make pvp enjoyable instead of thief’s being able to hide pop up shoot you and you literally have no chance I stated I was fully blessed chug a tamala and died before I got to chug another?? Maybe I am a newb but from my 13 years of playing I never experienced that lol….

      So basically thief’s are the new pps on this server lol?? Because I also made a stacked out pp with stacked items including lvl 6 melle and I tested him out thinking I would do good against any class since blackrock was hard to find I noticed and I knew if I ran into anyone I had the advantage because I can cast dispel!!!! Well guess what everyone lmao!!!! I dispelled the thief!!! And to my surprise I got owned still??? And I had a gm bow but so did he… but I dispelled him and I was in armor??? Wtf??? Like really??? And yes all my combat skills are near max including archery only one not maxed…..

      Why is it I played Zulu since 2000 played many servers with opt other classes but never once played a shard with a pp class because if thief’s stay like this a mini pp because that’s exactly what they are which is bullshit… then you guys should consider making pp a class again.. I know people will say pps already real good because they use all skill!!! Does anyone even play a pp like me??? Literally that is my class threwout Zuluhotel and let me tell you on this server at 130 Margery base my bless is plus 22 across the board but when I hunted second day and used my pp to boost at 90 Margery boost was same or from 22-26… basically I don’t understand how or why my boost is not better from me going from 90 to 130 Margery basically I’m confused if that works for all skills for a pp example is it a waste of time to macro like Margery I noticed as same for archery and fighting skills because I test hitting my warrior all the time etc and the damage is pathetic… and the Margery thing is bugging me out because shouldn’t my boost got better? So I could of kept at 90 Margery and did same boost spell damage?? Does this apply to all skills because I notice no damage difference so I should of basically kept my pp at 90 skills???? And healing is a joke with a pp I heal most 22 damage at a time lol… sorry for the long paragraph I bitched a little sorry about that but I’m more confused then anything honestly because this don’t make sense to me lol

        Ohh I also left out that a thief can not be revealed by not even another lvl 5 thief lmao??? Honestly something has to be done because thief’s are to godly and are the only people sneaking around looking for people hard earned hunting gear… and there the only feared class on this server all other classes I would be gladly to run into anytime!!!!but a naked thief with 900 charges owns me??? If anything it makes sense to make pps opt why?? Because they have all skills and take the most to macro out of all character… some people will have mixed feelings I understand but instead of bashing me help me understand??? To balance pvp think about doing something about pps, turn down thief’s a little… or give mods back there original + stats because even at 270 star I die in just about 3 ticks of a thief and not to mention the ticks are so fucking fast!!!! I understand thief’s are a pain to macro and they need some type of benefit for pvp but this is insane I think about changing something with them please??? And consider letting pps be opt WHY? Not because I love them I played all threwout years just fine… BUT they take the longest to macro and the most work and getting shitted on and only way they own from my experience is if you have a 100% elly furry wepon… and the chances of anyone finding one of them is like the chances of like maybe something will be done about this??? Or is this honestly just a server for close Zulu friends???

          One more thing since I played Zulu 19 years… people won’t like to hear this… but I remember the point of a thief use to be stealing big time which I understand this server can’t because town is no stealing damage etc… and another reason I remember main reason for a thief was to sneak around to check on people hunting which was a benefit honestly alrdy lol and another main thing they where used for was to poison your warrior ranger or pp wepon for pvp… thief’s could have still bein good all you guys had to do was make psn protect as rare as sages and e book here instead of making thief’s the #1 class… and God’s lol… I am not degrading the server once again I am trying to understand if I got this correct especially about thieves and pps skills especially since I noticed the Margery thing

            Yeah man, I played on half a dozen ZH servers through the years and the balancing here regarding pvp is one of the worst I’ve seen. Feels like they just took the core files figured its ‘good enough’.

            Balancing pvp is monumental undertaking and requires a lot of testing.

            I was GM on 2 servers and we would spend weeks upon weeks testing pvp just to get it -somewhat- working. So much fine tuning had to be done.

            We don’t have a weapon abilities on ZH so getting a skill bracket up and running was tricky. Had create weapons that gave OSI-type abilities as a work around.

            Damage suppression would prolly be the cheaper fix.

            I wouldn’t go as far as saying you’re wasting your time seeing a there’s not a lot of ZH servers running out there and choices are limited.

              Well, I must say pvp on this shard is properly screwed. There’s no balance at all, let alone thief being op.

              For PVP to work, all classes have to have equal chance of survival. On this shard, that’s not happening at all.

                Well thanks for reply but honestly the only class I see that need work are thief’s and pps warriors are fine rangers own and mage is same as I remember and fine… thief’s are major problem and unfair and pps are just useless here… but can anyone answer why my boost is same from 90 Margery to 130???is it because when u start you have no total points and the more points in total u get the less each skill does ?? That’s what it seems

                  PP isn’t really a thing here.
                  Before the wipe I had a near lvl3 PP and was pretty useless.

                  Isn’t boosting/buffing tied to your level as well? What level is your mage on?
                  If you’re boosting/buffing with a PP, then you’ve prolly hit a hard cap they might have placed on none-classed characters.
