Newbie Island clearance

[Eyefinity]

Does it matter? You are at Newbie island for like 10mins anyway

And the AI weaps are way to powerfull at the beginning anyways :[

make a mini alien boss on noob isl that drops types for the low ql ai wpns. That would be cool, otherwise, the ai guns that drop there are useless.

Well the whole point of this suggestion is to make NI more interesting so that people wont leave after 10 minutes.

The newbie area at the moment is too boring and confusing for the new players to stay interested and continue playing the game.

There is no alien guns dropping from the island anymore since way back when...

If FC was really trying to get people to learn the game on NI and not quit when they hit the mainland due to not knowing what to do and not having any creds, FC would have not touched a thing and just added the backpack.

If I remember NI/AI weapons right...
1) all ranged weaps had a single bullet in stock. No actual use.
2) all melee weapons had high req skills - unreachable for any <15 toon without imps/buffs.
3) If you decide to stay on NI and wield them "at all costs" - at the moment you can do it all mobs around you are grey. Does not worth an effort.

On the other side, their 'uberness' clearly showed to newcomers the difference between unpaid and paid accounts. It worked good... until 'fix'.

Please:
- Restore storyline. With ICC spacestation, Shuttle-crash and so on. Dropping shuttle near the shore is good enough not to raise swimming.
- Restore items drop-table. If you can use all items you find - there's no interest to advance. If you don't know about something - it (normally) causes you to think or ask.
- Keep new quests, but show the other way - you can get those items from crafting too.
- Add weapons to boss drop-tables. Newcomers see only armor loot. This is confusing.
- Assign volunteer to NI. Every time I log to NI - I work as one. But people continue asking even if I'm not there

Thanks.

So, a bit late to rant about this, but everyone that has played for more than two years knows, that there used to be all kinds of cool things dropping on Newbie Island, implants, clusters, dyna boss armour parts... ALIEN WEAPONS...

Life was bliss, but you couldn't fit that many in your inventory. Soon, the guns and armour began to disappear, leaving only the current sets and metaplast in, then metaplast and implants, boom, gone... now we are left with, exactly... not much to collect! I can go to Newbie Island and be unable to fill up my inventory alone.

And what then, what do we get then, after even alien weapons are removed? A backpack... a backpack, for what?


...

So please Funcom, please... bring back the implants, the clusters... the regular dynaboss loot... the alien weapons... PLEASE! Then we will be able to actually use the backpack on Newbie Island.

I need as much support on this one as possible, if there is a remote chance on getting this through. Support making Newbie Island into a fun start of AO once again, and not a formal Anarchy-Online 101 tutorial!

I give thee: BUMP!

[Aeliniyah]

bump-o-matic

Not letting this rot in the bottom just yet!

Give us the old and interesting NI back - or better yet improve it - but DO SOMETHING!

I think we have enough names in that list to atleast get an official comment about the issue? no?

Yeah, it's not by any means a short list... but FC's /ignore button is strong indeed... check the CoH chest thread if you need proof.

[Clamdigger]

Didn't mean to sound discouraging! Keep at it!

BUMP!

[Werevixen]

List filled in.
