Let's make ApexKO Great Again!!

[Sick]

Border Defense War  Why does it always feel like there is always that under geared player in my party and there is absolutely nothing I can do to keep this player alive? I mean YES this event is part of the game and I have grown to accept that but, in a full 8v8 party even a very experienced and geared priest such as myself struggles to keep players with no items alive.

I mean right now I feel BDW is more about being lucky than it is being skilled. It's a luck of the draw type of deal atm. I mean You can end up with a fully geared team or you can be on the other end of that stick and I feel that isn't at all how this event should be. I always felt that BDW is highly flawed on official. There is a reason why a huge percentage of the player base doesn't even bother to go to BDW's let alone any other of these events. I and a hell lot more of other players think BDW can use some adjustments because this is just annoying.
[Suggestion]  Create a NPC in BDW that allows access to MAX items in game ex. 'Holy Knight armor +11, Cursed weapons +11, Red/Blue Potions, [Scrolls]Undying/350/Lion/Armor&Weapon enchant with a duration on them only lasting as long as the event. This allows players to really get that short time period where they can see what it's like to be fully geared and have a killer PVP experience in this event with full items. I think it would not only be fun but it would also help balance the BDW a lot more so the other players don't have to suffer for having a new player with 0 items basically a NPT and it kills this event tremendously.

Also, increase the allowed time from when a player zones into BDW so they can go shopping(prepare themselves). Just be sure not to give them to much time or players will go afk to take a shit or something and then the next thing you know its a 7v8.
[Suggestion #2] Mages... I mean maybe I'm being a little extra here but I think it would be cool to set it up so more mages attend BDW. One way of doing this would be to add mages together to a BDW with at least x1 priest so they can have a 8v8 mage standoff. This would really make ApexKO so unique and encourage our mages to hit that 'Join now' when BDW pops ups. Although it would need some very fine tuning considering not all mages play Attack

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Event Chest  so I've been thinking long and hard on what is missing for the new players and I believe we need a new chest that grants some 'pick me up' type of materials to help kick off our new players on their exciting quest on Apex.
[Suggestion] Create a new item 'Event Chest' and replace it from the current events as a reward (FT, Juraid, Chaos, BDW) and have it give items.

EXAMPLES :

Titanum Bar[Low Exchange Rate] : Bar that can be sold to vendor for 50m Noahs(lord knows how hard it is to farm money right now in game)
Scrolls[High Rate] for ONE of the following : 2000 HP/ 350 AC/ LION / TELEPORT/ [x10 Pack]Armor/Weapon Enchants / Blessed Upgrade Scrolls / Rebirth Scrolls / Rebirth Upgrade Scrolls
Auto Loot[Medium Rate] lasting 1 day before expiring 'helps encourage players to farm more and stay active'
Event Armors Voucher[Medium Rate] Granting 100% chance at +11 Mythril, Ron, Dragon flight, Trial armor piece 'this allows for example a Rogue who turns in the voucher and gets Dragon flight part to trade to a Warrior who is offering his Mythril part'. Now this may mess up prices on those armors at +11 but they have very little market value as it is.
Event Weapons Voucher[Medium Rate] Grating 100% chance at +11 Hepa Weapon. (NOT REALLY SURE HOW THIS WILL WORK FOR MAGES).
Event Unique Voucher[Medium Rate] Granting 100% chance for Basic +1 unique ex. SE +1, WSE +1, OE +1, EME +1, ROL +1, ROC +1, ROM +1 (NOT INCLUDING : Necks , Belts, or RING OF THE FELENKOR and ofc UTC Uniques).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rewards for being Online Self explanatory
[Suggestion] Now, I'm really not to sure what the reward could be. But I've seen some servers give kc (I think that's an overkill). Maybe it could be possible to give players online an Item called 'Loyalty Points' and they can turn them in to a NPC for Noahs in game.
EXAMPLES :

Every 30mins a player is online they can be rewarded x1 'Loyalty Points" item.
Every 10mins a player active in CZ is rewarded twice as much as a player in any other zone.
During war times the nation that is invading is receiving twice as much as they normally would.

Now, how could the rewards work?

The loyal players can then wrack up points and talk to a NPC that can then exchange the points for items.

x1 [Loyalty Points] = x1[Gold Coin]
x10 [Loyalty Points] = x1[Silver Bar]
x15 Loyalty Points] = [Apex Chest]
x50 [Loyalty Points] = x1[Event Chest]
x100 [Loyalty Points] = [Gender Change Scroll] or, [Nation Transfer] ((([These Scrolls Shouldn't be Tradable])))
x150[Loyalty Points] = [Name Change Scroll] / [Count Recovery Scroll]  ((([These Scrolls Shouldn't be Tradable])))
x200[Loyalty Points] = [Character Delete Scroll] ((([These Scrolls Shouldn't be Tradable])))

I feel this would be extremely amazing for several reasons but mainly being to help keep the server active at least full and another reason because as a young player, college student or just over all broke mother fuc*a you can't afford to gender change, name change, NT, count recovery to leave some clan you feel stuck with. This way players can't really say it's not free2play or Pay2Win

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monthly PK Videos
[Suggestion] Reward top 3 videos of Apex 1st of each month
Top 1 = 1.5k kc
Top 2 = 1k kc
Top 3 = 500 kc

This will help get more videos on Youtube of ApexKO and players will rush to server
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ApexKO Community Discord
[Suggestion]  I understand not every player / clan would be happy on the same discord server as their rivals. But I think it would help build a strong and tight community. I would love to see this happen. I mean try and picture this. War time and everyone logging on discord going to their clan channels to prepare. I think it would be amazing to see this happen. Not to mention all the support players can have at their finger tips and the team would be alerted quickly if anything is going wrong in server via crash/lag ect. Although this sounds to good to be true it is possible very much so. Would just need a lot of community helpers on the discord weaving threw the trolls and spammers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add Ardream to War Map List
[Suggestion]  Similar to boss land war map. I think it would be awesome to add Ardream into the War maps. Or even close down Ronarkland twice a week and open Ardream. I understand its a lot of work to set that up. But damnit Ardream is to good to not be accessible in game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

60% HP Scroll, Red/Blue Potion, Duration Potions
[Suggestion] Yes, I know it's been requested several times now. I do know admins are aware of this. Let's think about this for a minute. We are so much like official at least try to be. What is the real reason we don't have these scrolls back in game? Is it because players where to tanky when we did have them in game with players who had +8 cursed weapons max? Well I'm not sure who is all aware of this but sins right now are in a very dark place almost as bad as int priest. Let's get these added in game preferably in the sundries and keep a topic open that day to see how all the players feel about them being back in game. The only thing I honestly can see going wrong is people buying them in bulk from the Sundries. If to many players complain let's just remove them again. I mean you guys did it before.. Can easily do it again if things go south. I see no reason why we don't have these added. Why would USKO have them and we don't? That's the real question :P.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recruit-a-Friend
[Suggestion] This suggestion here may not seem like it's worth it but really if it's set-up correctly it can make a huge impact on our current player base. Add a option on panel where a player can recruit a friend and if that friend is online 'active' for so many in-game hours in a month the player who recruited that person can receive a 200 KC reward capping out at 5 referrals, 1000 KC limit per month.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Item Rental
[Suggestion]  I recall this working on beta not perfectly at all but If you guys could get this going players can really make a good source of income renting out their items to other players. This would be a game changer for players on ends. Let's make it happen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Mining / Fishing
[Mining] Okay so I mined and fished for countless hours here. As of now mining no DC premium and I'm averaging about 45m an Hour. Basically all I am getting are maybe x3 BUS, full inventory silver coins, rocks and maybe 130 scrap steel before I have to go and repair my pick axe. I mean technically speaking if one is mining for so much there should be some chance at least a Black Gem. Hell you could even add a medium drop rate on the Black Gems. Let's be honest at this stage in ApexKO players mining 24/7 for Black gems... That's nice in all but it won't give them any kind of advantage. The goal is to help players who afk and don't want to merchant or have anything to merchant make a little money and that "Gamble" factor comes into play which we all love on KO. A player can be done with PK and simply clear inventory, pull out that axe and afk and take it easy on Apex and still have a good chance to get a few black gems, turn them in and who knows maybe get a Juraid item at +8 or unique at +0.

[Fishing] Okay so fishing at this point is sooo bad. 100% chance at rain worm drop and you have to re-cast after every catch (been spamming re-cast can't afk fishing what's soever). Now I understand the goal is to keep players active in CZ and not full afk fishing/mining like Beta turned out. I mean honestly we are better off reducing the rain worms drop rate to like 50% and adding a 100% drop Silver Coin. This way you might actually see a few people fishing for some quick Noahs and for people with DC Premium a 50% chance to get a gold coin as well. It's really not a half bad idea. There has to be more ways to farm for Noahs and even if it's a quick "Hey, guys going to go fish for some quick coins". It sure beats the hell out of running circles in CZ fighting x20 players on your same nation for a damn Gold Coin and your the slowest class..

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blessed Upgrade Scrolls
[Suggestion] Maybe I'm not thinking this one through but I personally would like to see a weight restriction on these scrolls. Maybe a 'Weight : 10.00" Per x1 Scroll. Why? I really think it will make those BUS farmers work a little harder and not just full AFK selling thousands of scrolls in merchant. I mean they earned it I get it. But what's the fun in seeing full merchants of x200 stacks per slot. Where is the fun there?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Archer Ice/Lighting Rates
[Suggestion] Yes, I know I know I'm that guy that brought it up again. I am 400+ Resist to all never stunned by mages when I am full resist gear. Why are archers stunning me? I mean I am a tank and It's hard enough if you have x2 archers focusing you from a far to get a heal off. Why am I getting stunned when I sacrifice my HP and AC for resistance that does nothing? I can only wonder how the pk is for full starter priest... This shouldn't even be up for debate let's just get it fixed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Mage Damage

[Suggestion] Again I'm not telling you guys how to run your own server but.. Ummm... 400+ resist and a mage full starter gear hits me for spam 900s? and the best geared warriors in game only hit me for 600s? Do I really need to say more on this? Let's be honest you buff a class? Yes absolutely you will have players storming in for a short-time-period abusing the hell out of that class. Now I love love my mages and the PK. But right now it's just mages with guns and melee with knives. Let's lower the damage down a bit. Any real mage won't care if they lose 200 dmg per hit when they are hitting harder than melee who spent hours and hundreds to be in a good position in PK vs someone who just started the game and just put a staff on... I mean damn melee have to work months to do that kinda damage on me fully debuffed... Why did I see a fully geared sin get red balled by a mage with fire armor in CZ and didn't even attack once? #Facts let's just get it fixed already... You actually have players getting abused every minute in game by a mage ❤️

I will update this soon.

+ for this

[KissOfNeo]

+1 on it   but a few of the things  cant be counted as unfair     where  ppl like me ( i like the ideas and dont care if it comes in ) ( Great ideas there ) have a time zone where War  UTC most JARD and bdws all fall on bad times ..

Personally i see maybe 1 ft ED and 2 bdws in a slow day from me  maybe 2 ft  or 2 ED  3 bdw  maybe on day off work.

 

But on that Mods Gms really look into this  great ideas  100%  thumbs up to sick for it

Maybe look to add a light farm zone in cz safe spot where ppl like  DewlInsTinCMugii    BigDango and debuffs   cant macro  and just kill farmers  being great pkers they are ( AFK kills )

Have it  lower drop rate  but safe zone where can get bus  heppa items  the myth rons so on  and not have to  donate free nps all the time.   have the drop rate like 50% or 30 % of what it would be in normal  pk zones

 We cant even see a replies from Admins here. I dont like to say this but they are really lazy and that was always problem in apexko...

[fuckyou]

Where was the summary part in this post? lol 

[MERET]

Let's make Apex KO great again? Well, I agree with you @Sick to make it great again, not all your ideas. 

Apex KO is a pretty good server, needing innovation in here. 

• First of all, players must respect each other including staff. This circumstance is mutual.
• Secondly, persons who know C++ in order to help admins to fix bugs via coding. It is vitally important. 
• Advertise Apex KO by making quality, different and edit videos must be essential. Therefore, we can attract or temp them into here. Who knows? 
• Admins should revise the Lunar Wars. 
• To remove Dungeons which are the Forgotten Temple, Monster's Stone etc or reorganizing the events. 
• Ultima event is not like old times. Ultima should remove from Ronark Land. Players don't feel free to check CZ. Players come with which side is more crowded than the other. So no PK is inevitable.

+1. Especially to Ultima. Instead change the ultima quest to something like Monthly Challenge which requires 2500 Kills. Make it like 1000 kills for ultima chest instead. This will promote more pk overall.

by far the best suggestion that would benefit all and not just a certain group

All we ever need is the ability to consistently reproduce bugs. We can resolve them fairly quickly once we can do that.
