Maybe there is something that I haven't been
informed of. Was there a memo circulated that
I may have missed due to ignorance?

Am I the only one that cringes everytime an
invite is sent my way hoping and praying it
isn't going to be anywhere in the new "Empire"?
I actually do a happy dance whenever I form a
party and a member is lacking ToAU. You cannot
imagine the immense glee that I am overwhelmed
with.

In any event I suppose this isn't a complaint...
but more of a Thank You to everyone for abandoning
the older CoP and Zilart areas. You guys have
made me the happiest Elvaan in Vana'Diel.
(So long as you stay out and let me continue my
reign of exp terror bwua ha ha ha ha ha)

While posting this I forgot what I actually was
intending to post about so I figured I might as well
put something here or it will come back and bother
me till I remember what it was.

I totally prefer the old areas to exp at. Especially on my War. Food erase and TP erase? Pfft. No thank you. I hate those stupid birds. Also, Caedarva Mire is pretty much a death hole of sorts. Everytime I've been there, either me or at least one or two members of my pt has died. There's too many ppl there and you're trying to pull as many mobs as you can usually. It sucks IMO. Sky is my favorite place to go for exp.

SE did an awesome job with the expansion. However, the mob's moves and what not, completely suck and therefore my search comment will read: Aht Urghan PT No thanks.

I would soooooo much like to fight puks imps colibari than fight dhalmels that heal themselves for 1400 and stomp you for 600ish. Bomb toss and Goblin rush suck too. At least with the mobs in the new areas, you dont have super damage attacks.

I was LFG for 3 hours on my WHM Friday night, and every single one of the 10 party invites I got were for Aht Urhgan areas only. Very frustrating as I didn't have it so I had to go get it, and waste my only night of the week to play finishing the quest to get the boarding pass.

Um.. Why are you tanking? Unless your tanking or your tank in general sucks you shouldn't have to worry about these effects period. From the time that I was there a mob turned once and was able to eat his food in which they were dead two seconds later. That 296 xp I got off a 2 minute battle is greater than the raptors that cast viruna dish out 400 dmg WS and take 5 mins to kill. As many have said about the new areas {Thanks for the offer but I'll have to pass.}

I wasn't tanking. And no, not every one of my tanks sucked. All of them were Nin's. I'd berserk and after a few hits, I'd pull hate. After the Whm got done curing the tank, the Whm would have hate. I only had one good Aht Urghan party and it was when I was 54-55. Exp blows on Colibri's after that point.

SE did a good job with the new expansion as I said before. I just prefer not to exp there because I think the mobs there suck. I'd much rather get a chain 5 in a Zilart area and have a minute or two of downtime then to just go and fight without hardly any downtime. And still, the max chain I've ever gotten in Aht Urghan so far was still just 5. Zilart I've gotten 6-7. Plus, the exp per chain on mobs from Zilart areas is far greater than a Colibri chain at this point on my War.

Sounds like a bad tank to me... I don't think nins were cut out for the new areas anyways. Lesser colibri attack to fast to use a nin as effectively as taking a pld. Of course I've still seen some stellar nins there tanking and doing a hell of a job. Suppose it more of a "different tanks for different jobs" idea. If your gonna use a nin probably best you stay in the zilart areas where they excell very well at.
