Celtic Heroes

Would appreciate thoughts on this, as the levels in the game get higher the older content is going to get easier for the highest level players - from some angles this is a nice reward for their efforts levelling, but it should also be possible for lower levels to play the content without getting ks'd.

I know some games made things like level limits on what bosses can be killed etc, so for example a level 140 wouldn't get any loot from a level 60, however I personally find this a bit restrictive. So any other ideas you have would be welcome.

There are a few problems here.

You probably wouldn't be able to kill fellfire, chill, and star with a 60ish group.
You wouldn't be able to kill spire or falgren, or any of the red bosses with an 80ish group.

We could cause we could spam potions and they were much easier.

The other problem is that these bosses drop huge amounts of gold, but as I say this they will probably lower the gold drop now instead of raising it on the Otherworld bosses.

Sorry everyone!

The petition created on allowing stone and red boss PHs to drop quest pieces would correct this in a heartbeat.

We could do this if there is a demand - we have tried this in otherworld with the ph's but this wasn't a very popular move judging by the forum posts about otherworld placeholders.

I am not sure the system can be improved. I am level 131 and am still working on my last wisp for the Meteoric weapon. So yes, I will be killing it when I find it. I also did not get to start warden until around level 80. I just was not needed often in groups. A large part of the problem is people for some reason expect to get drops in their 60s. Sorry but a level 60 is not contributing much on any of the Warden/Meteoric bosses.

I agree with Admin, being able to more easily kill bosses in lower zones is a perk of leveling. This is also a social experience, an MMO. I can almost guarantee that in most cases a lower level with a sound reputation who is polite, will find more boss opportunities than a pushy or vulgar, or demanding lower level.

System is fine IMO. People need to adapt to the culture of their servers. Ever notice that there are far more rude/pushy players in the sub 100 bracket. This is part of the learning that happens. But if we place too many limitations on higher levels like this thread proposes, we will have the same rude, pushy players in OW... No thank you.

I'd rather see placeholders gone for all bosses including OW. The random timers don't really make them necessary anymore. Just spawn the bosses a bit more often (say 3-4 times over a period of 24 hours).
As for the random gems for the meteoric quests, they're fluff quest items. Not really needed. They were only put in because a hoarder of gems and stuff asked for some ways to use what he has collected. Get rid of them too.

There was initial griping, but only from the regulars. This happened on day one and I'm not sure they knew the phs had a chance of dropping crests. I think if the 6 star ow bosses spawned as often as all the phs do then I see their point. They didn't spawn more than once every few days if I remember correctly.

I didn't like crests dropping from placeholders. I understand it would be difficult for those without clans to kill bosses, and hence why I didn't voice my objections much.
But meteoric and frozen quests are clan-centric and making them drop from 4* mobs just reduces their luster a bit if anyone can solo placeholders to get frozen armor/weapons.

I disagree these quests should not take being in a top clan to achieve. Some people like to solo or start their own little clan of friends. The point of these quests is to take time to accomplish. That's about the only gratification that comes with it. Gaining these hard to get items from phs will still take a big commitment of time, and if newer players start getting a few pieces then there wouldn't be a market for dastardly level 140s to sell them. Problem solved unless you make your living selling dragon frags and red spaces.

I don't know about that. One person in our clan who likes to go around killing placeholders may have gotten at least a dozen crests already solo in just a matter of days.
