(Quitting the game/joining other groups/core people quitting/etc.), I can run IIR if needed, but would prefer to DPS. 85 EA Marauder. IGN: Varanice my map pool is running thin atm becuase I just solo'd most of the rest of my maps the last few days, I have 3x 71s and 2x 72s though. | ||

I tried leveling some new characters but that was boring aswell, because I just don't have this feeling of pressure and the same level of intensity I get in races. I wish the 24h descent was a permament league, I would love to just do descent all day and I see no good reason why there shouldn't be a permanent practise descent league. No prizes, just so that racers can practise all day, it would certainly increase the level of competition and I would have something to do. | ||

Before I had a LA Duelist and Discharger, but yeah. Maps are more fun definitely but I also only played lvl 66-70 maps over and over again, and once in a while a 71/72 map. Sadly those don't really feel worth playing when you have a sporker who usually finds a full inventory of rares & useful stuff only from one single Docks instance. I remember my LA ranger who would find like 3-4 rares per docks and often not a full inv of things from a map, despite having SOME IIR/IIQ (like 1 andavarius, aurseize and the quantity belt). Well, racing is still fun. Though recently I couldn't play many races. | ||

I've started to gain that feeling as a result of racing semi-seriously in races the last season. Maps just feels different than the rest of the game to me though, but since I dont have a dedicated map group anymore and im pretty much out of maps I cant do that. Im doing the 1H cutthroat in 20 minutes if anyone wants to party, gonna be going dual strike. LOL This is gonna be interesting, the leader of this pub party asked me if he could use his SC stash, and if you can get to Ledge before a 1H race ends.. xD This is literally the only party I can find though. | ||

I haven't had one drop in such a long time. Now all I need is an Eternal and Mirror to fall from the heavens. | ||

Like 2 ~lvl 75 chars and one lvl 80 item finding char (which probably would be lvl 85+ if he didn't only play Docks...). | ||

Thanks, I have like 3 70+ characters and the only other Exalt I found was in Ledge months and months ago in normal Hardcore. I've been playing this MF Witch for the last few weeks cause my map group kinda died down, literally xd. Can't really go anywhere else except Docks on her though, cause I don't have a Shavs and Lunaris Tentacles own me due to lack of armor. Been chancing all the Occultist Vestments I can find! | ||

I'll probably make a full playthrough on the next major content release, but endgame is still terribly boring, and only passable in a good group with TV/Mumble/etc. I'm more of a solo/duo player, but it's currently way too inefficient and frustrating... | ||

Solo is basically impossible to progress unless you like playing utterly overpowered builds that need 0 currency or you are just twinked to shit. Once you hit end game maps you are likely to just straight die or never progress any further than 68ish maps. | ||

Added, yeah same here, I know how you feel, I just solo everything, nobody ever on or just bored. Been keeping my witch at level 76 though, from what I've heard being around that level is the most efficient, apparently for every few levels you go past monster levels your % of getting drops decreases or something, idonno its just random stuff I heard but figured why not haha, anyways, added. | ||

You get less currency drops if you out level a zone by two or more levels, but it is capped at level 68 so maps never have decreased currency drops. | ||

This isn't completely true. You would have 100% currency drops in level 75 maps, but you would have 97.5% in 76 maps, and around 90~% in 77 maps if I understand how the drop rates work correctly. | ||

From my understanding it doesn't go both ways like experience; you're only penalized on currency drops if the zone is too easy. | ||
