Losing Exemplar Points A Bit Unfair

This happened to me a few times but it was Yhoator or Altep exp camps I was trying to get to.

also capping master chains to 50 is just a kick in the balls

thought they capped at 50 .... "This caps at master chain #50" just got 57.... so meh

That post was gold. 2022 and 100+ likes, must be a record. Aeonova was funny, RIP

soooooo, they ever fix this? >.>

Isn't broken nothing to fix

Well, they took away point loss in ambuscade and AMAN Trove

Fix what. Working as intended.

The chain itself has no cap but the chain bonus caps at 50.

... Bibiki Bay? Chocobo? 3 hours?!? lmao
You must not have been around in the days when you zoned into Yuhtunga Jungle or Garlaige Citadel... and you were dead and lost a level before the screen even loaded. Those were the good old days! Or Marauder running around Ronfaure and slaughtering noobs. ROFL
And as a DRG, 3 hours may as well been 3 minutes. Sometimes I waited actual days!

Every time you zone, it loads you in showing your HP bar at zero. Back before the despawning patch, sometimes your HP bar never rose from that point.

I'll never forget the time I tried running to safety from Qufim Island to Delkfutt's Tower, only for there being mobs on both sides of the zone line. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

You aint a real one unless you seen Crawlers Nest go on an 8 hour lockdown because some idiot didnt want to die to Rumble Crawlers so they ran them all to the Worker Crawler entrance

You just brought forth a latent memory. I just remembered how people would shout to inform others of zones that were locked down. Inevitably someone would always try to go into the zone before the mobs sluggishly made their way back to their spawns, aggro them, and then zone them again.

They'd build up at the entrance as more and more people zoned enemies there, until it was completely impassable. Spells like the Teleports or Escape were so valuable back then.

Crawlers were the worst because their idle movements were baby steps. I think sloths move faster.

I remember waiting outside Crawlers Nest or Garlaige and just shooting the ***with the other random people there. Or you'd have one of them say "I have a buddy otw to clear it out" or "I'll be back on my super sick PLD!" just to have them go inside and come out 25 seconds later like "Nope!" or have someone outside give an update like "They went in and died and sent me a tell that it's still not safe."

Or when someone would save the day, the rush of people back into the zone to claim a camp was like doors opening for Black Friday sales and mobs of people rushing in.

The buddy after zoning in and zoning right out:
