Shane Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 As requested. Please let me know your thoughts below. Twostars and Aesteris. You have alot of people offering advise on the server and from what ive seen, its largely being ignored or brushed off. I look at the discord channel and most of the comments are funny or not really about the serious points. Below are a couple of points from me you should address/ work on, there are a large number of people who are actively talking about quitting, i dont want that, but without changes and updates i see that happening and we are not even 3 weeks into the server. 1. Communication, i dont mean to be rude but this server has the worst communication i have ever seen on a server, the only communication is patch notes... yippeee. Ill give you an example, on Thursday you took the server down for a patch, no message ingame to say it would take longer, it took over an hour, you posted on discord to say it will take alittle longer. Your discord has 400 users, why not post ingame BEFORE you shut it off to say it will take longer and a guessed ETA is 90mins etc? 2. Bifrost, this is garbage. You decreased the greed drop rate to stop undez running the market, im fine with that, we got 40+ frags and hour, this is to much. But really, you have made this zone a ghost town. Was your intention to do this? Simple solution, increase frag drop rate, reduce unique chance from cashing them in? Everybody is happy. 3. Events, CR has been good, PK has been popping, why are these not daily? 4. Events continued, we haven't had a kill the GM, find the GM... Not even a boss event that ive seen? 5. Farming, i dont farm often, but ive spoken with some farmers and they are all saying the same thing, you need to increase drop rates on bus etc, the price of bus in mora is 1.2-1.3m now, with current drop rate and constant raiding its not worth farming so with BF being so bad, how do you expect those users without wallets to compete now? 6. ISI/Fela/ Ultima, these are not in the game in delos/ BF. Why? 7. PK, a great suggestion from a user in your discord was for people to lose 0 nps when they die, this hasn't been done in a server before and would mean people stop and fight rather than towning to escape combat. Personally this is a great idea and you were both talking on the discord at the time and not one response to this user? Why give ideas if they are actively ignored? 8 and final point. A road map, when is 80, when is Krowaz, when is 83 etc, etc, etc. We live in a society where people want to know rather than be surprised. Be honest, open and transparent with your community. If not, it will be smaller week on week. Sorry for the long post, im always happy to discuss privately and i even offered my services as GM before you opened, ofcourse going off the 2 communication points above i wasn't even responded to so i know my worth now. It will be an interesting test to see if i get a response to this post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTimmy Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I agree with that was just said. The server is amazing, but the lack of transparency is gonna be the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your discord has 400 users, why not post ingame BEFORE you shut it off to say it will take longer and a guessed ETA is 90mins etc? The time it took was due to additional problems encountered during the downtime. It was not supposed to be nearly as long as it was. Think it was announced here and on Discord it was unintentionally delayed. 1 hour ago, Shane said: Events, CR has been good, PK has been popping, why are these not daily?

Kallop Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Was going to copy this post from G4L to post here, but I see you were faster than me. I personally disagree with changing BUS drop rate, because it balances itself out in the end regardless of the drop rate. The main problem with farming and upgrading is that the risk of losing money is too great, while the rewards aren't outstanding either. After writing an essay about the issues, I kind of realized that they're mostly symptoms caused by other problems. 1. Daily quests for shells should've been weekly quests or removed entirely until better armors were released. Nobody farms shells currently, which means that a lot of the activity players should've had, never existed in the first place. The dailies make sense if everybody is using super shells or something, but for now it seems too rewarding and is cannibalizing farm activity from organized groups. 2. Lack of information about upcoming changes, or a roadmap of sorts. Basically I know dozens of people who are stockpiling coins and Apex points, because they don't want to buy anything until 80 cap is released, or they were waiting for juraid. None of the gear upgrades would change how we PK, so it's irrelevant to spend money on items. 3. Farming coins is simply more lucrative for solo players and even groups, rather than participating in events and actively farming for items. Bifrost lasts only an hour, so it should be rewarding for people to participate in. Honestly the BUS droprate from bifrost monsters could be increased, to give people even more reason to participate. The frag drop rate is being addressed, so I won't comment on that for the time being. 4. Hate to beat a dead horse, but the level cap is probably the biggest issue. Due to how PvP balance is skewed towards one-shots, there's very little reason to buying better gear. This also affects every single other aspect of the game. Farming is less valuable, people don't find reason buying items etc etc. Edit: 5. Disable coin looting from Auto-loot entirely. It will fix every single issue with afk genie farming currently. If you want to genie for XP or for loot, go ahead. Farming coins with genie is currently the best way to farm, because farming for items and upgrading has a risk, while earning raw coins has no downside. You will pay your genie costs with coins as well. Edited May 16, 2020 by Kallop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A66 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Completely agree, Shane. You guys are onto something, you have the best server files. Communication has got to be vital and your number one goal to achieve at all times. And unfortunately, It's not on par. pss- Did I miss the poll on this archer change?

It will be an interesting test to see if i get a response to this post Agree mostly with this... 1. Yea communication can always be better but that's just how it is sometimes... 2. Addressed already by GM... 3. CR is pretty cool, it forces crazy activity and is just starting up so hopefully soon they're more varied and often... 5. +9999999999999999999999999 Farming... at least in my opinion is terrible, other than Jr/FT I don't really make any money here, eslant farm is impossible and cz you get ganked 24/7 so the drop rates need to be better to insensitive low spenders to farm and make cash... 6. This should be in for Bifrost/Bowl but not dungeon yet imo... 7. That can never happen... National point transfer makes it impossible... 9. +99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
