Lately the Alexina server has been having a lot of problems with the monster ai
with a channel either lagging or having hyper ai. :gloom:

So a lot of us have resorted to finding new ways to level. One way we discovered a few weeks back is conflict hardmode. On good runs (depending how much the server lags, since sometimes it can unlag for a few seconds and the monsters will move around) it can normally be cleared in about 2 minutes, and the monsters inside give pretty decent exp.

So I've been wondering whether it be because of server problems or something else, have you found any creative ways to level? :D I've heard of some pretty interesting ones on Alexina, such as groups grinding peaca normal ghosts in the doorway at boss room for exp.

they patch that soon where you cant level off ghosts in boss rooms. And i believe people have been doing the doorway thing since G3 (I remember GHOST doing that in ruairi back when i played. Oh sweet jesus the WMing XP)

Last time server had epic lag i soloed Wiz HM for lulz.
Tarlach's lag is mostly reversed. We have insta aggro mobs. oh man golden apple hardmode was the MOST fun i have ever had. Hell even adv gave a run for it's money

most fun i had was while doing hm stones. Was using magnum (my magnum sucks only rF) to put the mobs close to each other then spammed crash shot

enough fun to fully train my r2. Unfortunately when i got bored and went back to tara for SCC hm spam, aggro switched back to hyper, no more fun ;_;

Lies. In SCC the monsters spawn lagged the entire time. And that was just now.

Maybe it's channel related because i did a golden apple HM and they were VERY active.

How did you guys kill a HM Boss shadow warrior so fast, even with poison?

Pretty much this

It was one of our faster runs as we got lucky with crits, normally the HM boss shadow warrior is one of the last to die
