I maintained a steady 7% an hour all the way through level 98.

Now I pull 2% an hour at Titan and I'm told that's ridiculously fast.

It feels so slow.

I pull 2% at Titan during the 3-4 hours I'm online when I'm lucky. Granted, I'm not as focused as I used to be, but it still goes to show.

Thanks for nerfing the aggro tunnel critters. I -never- hunted in the Undervault because of them. As an Elfen Celestine (level 78), there was just -no- way I can survive down there if I run into a room with more than 1 aggro creature, and that happens quite a bit. I'll try it out later today and see if I can survive down there.

As to answering the Poll:

I don't think every area needs to have a background. I don't think every area needs to have quests. These things are nice additions, but not necessary. I would love to have a few more areas like a jungle, or an open plain, or something that just had things to kill in it.

I used to agree that not all areas need a backstory or a quest, but (even though I don't quest much, despite my honours) I've since come to appreciate how much having each area somehow relevant to the overall story of Lusternia adds to the game. I think it's just a matter of making sure every area appeals to as many as people as possible - none of it is "wasted space". And I'm glad Estarra didn't listen when we made this request in the past and stuck to her guns on it. Areas like the undervault, Duum, Muud, Arthar'rt and Tolborolla would be boring as hell if they didn't have this kind of attention. Only area I really don't like is the tidal flats, although Verasavir and Snow Valley aren't awesome in this regard either (but I might even be wrong there.)

If you would all just become wiccans and use spores to skip around the hives and prison we wouldn't have to nerf anything

I love areas with quests. Even though most of them are tough as nails!
