General Suggestions

[fox]

Hello, 

I go by the ING of Fox or Rikuon on the AoL of Kingdom. I have been playing this server for close to a month right now and quite some things have changed in the meantime. I made this thread with the intention of speaking my mind on what I personally think could be a great addition or change as to how certain items / farm spots and general events/things have been going for the past 3-4 weeks. It's gonna be quite the read but I'll try to make it as easy to understand as possible. Critique is always valued but try to keep it civilized please, I am speaking just speaking my mind after all. 

Before I start I would like to notice that I will be posting new things / ideas as they pop into mind! You can do so as well and I will try to respond to those! Apologies upfront for not checking any of my own spelling or grammar. Cheers.

Farming
D1 atm is the place to go when there is no bosses to take or pvp to find. D1 is quite a compact map and is of great value, because it drops both the time-waster item (Rec runes) and FB's. FB's used to be quite decent for eles, goddess gear and whatnot, but drops have changed since then. Now you can get G. accs, def/power lapisia/HELM lapis and best of all, SK points 2 (which you get from bosses!!). Albeit rare, this has given us a reason to farm this single dungeon for the whole day as its probably the most valueable item as it is. That said, I like the fact we can get these points from FB's - I do not like it that the source of FB's is on a single competitive dungeon with 1 useful floor. 

D2 is, in my honest opinion, not fully utilized. 3 floors, which are all bigger than D1, drop the same kind of Lapis, which makes it a very common drop in general and becomes quite unnecessary. I'd suggest to adapt the drop table PER floor. Currently, the only reason to go to D2 is to farm Helm lapis from minibosses and checking Kimu. Why not keep Recreation runes in D1 and add FB's to D2 (or the other way around) floor 1/2 or 3 (not all, maybe 2 or just 1). We could even go as far as to decrease the droprate on FB's (as they are quite valuable at the moment) and make them drop on multiple, easily accessed locations. I would like to point out that it seems completely useless now to farm sacra souls in CS as you are effectively farming them faster in D1 from FB's. This might be intended or not, I'll leave that up to you guys. 

OI: I think this is being worked on, but I think OI was one of the most fun and challenging dungeons (instances) in Shaiya ever. Excluding the fatties I really enjoyed farming mobs for high level Lapis or stuff (maybe G. accs with X% droprate?) or bosses for decent equipment (just a suggestion, could be different). I look forward to seeing what you guys do with this instance. 

Bosses / Gears / Items
I really like the boss system so far, the respawn timers are good and plenty of sources to get end game equipment (goddess sets / 56 weapons). What confuses me is the overload of 56 opportunities when it came out, and the decrease in 59 weapons with the addition of custom weapons and 60 epics. 59 weapons are very rare as it drops from CTI alone (4x) which is effectively 8 x 59 weapons per week if both sides manage to do it. As 56 weapons are 3k DP atm, I'd like to see a change into the optional weapons we can choose from. I was thinking 59 weapons could be added to the Item Mall for a crazy-like price of 15k~ DP or something alike. I'm sitting here with my DP and can only spend it on Recreation Runes at the moment, as I have my weapons done. It'd take a long time for someone to get 15k DP but maybe donaters could abuse it? Idk some more items to spend DP on in short. 

All the teleport runes (bootleg/cpital/GH etc.) - Would be nice if this CD could 1) not be shared with UT pots and 2) have shorter CD after #1 is taken care of. Trivial matter but would be a nice addition. 

Archer/hunter Bows < - > Crossbows/Javelins: Short story: bows are useless as hell. With the removal of nosses soon Xbow/Jav- users are required to link flash 1+2 instead of just 2. Then again, this doesn't really matter, because if goddess bows are compared to goddess xbows - and both are linked the same (flash 1 being the only difference) - it sets the xbow user up with 20 less stats, but 80~ more power. There is no one sane enough to give up nearly a 100 power for 20 extra dex/str or luc. As it is now Bows are useless and only look visually appealing (in my opinion). Maybe there could be a solution for this to create some diversity, especially with customs dropping now (which look great btw!). 

CTI: It might be nagging and I know its been nerfed, but there is absolutely no reason to stand there, picking our noses for 2-3 hours. At the moment it is the only source of 59 weapons and you got to beat it for the 60 epic, but just standing there for 2+ hours is quite annoying. Maybe its an option to decrease the hp just a tad so we can drop it down to 1 - 1 1/2 hours, that would be much appreciated but everyone I think. It wouldn't overflow the server with 59s any more than it should this way. 

Staff
As it is now there are quite a few GS's on both side but sometimes I wonder what the hell they are supposed to do other than trying to settle drama on either side. Why not instruct them to hold X days per week of hide & seek events with basic rewards such as a Flash 2 or anything they can organize. Nothing crazy, just a little extra to get people going - be it pvp related or not.

I agree alot with what fox has suggested, I like his idea for CTI,1-1 1/2 hours would be ideal and would be a good change, I also agree with D1 being a little "small" for the essential drops of FB'S and I think it would be a great addition to D2 for the simple reason that it's a much larger area, (3 floors op), now my suggestion for capital movements etc, would be to remove the cast time indefinatly, the reason for this would be to stop skill cutting, now I know there's been some controversy about this subject, whether people do it or not it's to avoid the issues at hand with the problem. It's a big impact on pvping and yeah, it can ruin people's views on it. I personally think it would be a good change. Or even removing animations for the cast to prevent it, it would also be nice to see GS held events for both factions, like Fox said whether it be pvp based or not, it would be alot of fun and would grant opportunities.

This shit is horrible to read, my bad lmfao. Can't even edit it.

I agree with everything said in Fox's post. Especially the part about more events being held by GSs. Now my suggestion is more of a pvp one, because there are so many people that are maxed(besides 59/60 weapons) already that it's really sad to see we can't get pvp going for more than 10-20 minutes.

I talked to some players today and we all agree that we are bored of the same old DD1/Jungle/D1 pvp, so what I would like to suggest apart from Fox's idea of moving D1 drops in D2, is to replace Medius Altar only with a boss or something and have people pvp for it. It would be a nice change from the maps mentioned above and also give people more things to slaughter each other for.

Another idea for a possible event is escort the GM event in D-water:
Have both sides start at Medius and just try to escort the GM to the enemy castle gate(first front gate) while slaughtering the other side.
Rules for this event can be the following:
No use of teleportation stones to the enemy gate then summoning the GM allowed, you must fight your way to victory.
GM is only allowed to move while his side is pushing and needs to be behind everyone(GM's can't be attacked)
If one side quits before the GM is escorted to the gate, they get no rewards(to promote longer event time thus longer pvp)
No use of 60 skills, to avoid just mass spamming DF to push faster.
Rewards can be basically anything, up to the staff to decide, as long as both sides get something for their efforts. Of course the winning side gets better rewards.

Well here my answer to this and other tread and yes it was a pain in the butt to read but worth the time thanks for giving us feed back.
Well, the drops right now are and were only for new people and Christmas purposes, D1 wont have the Fortune Bags droping like it is right now neither will drop as high as it drops stuff right now, every single drop will be changed since people already got enough far to be able to pvp, for 1-15 zone and 20-30 zone, drops were just added so people could do GRB, the main drops and zone settings are coming on january since i am working on new fortune bags for this 2 zones so people get interest on farming them, OI,CS,CTI they will all have tasty drops in there i bet you all will be there farming when there is no pvp.
For CTI that takes 2-3 hours killing, well, i don't think i will change it any more, since the point of it is because right now it literally drops the best and power full weapons you can get on this server, i already lowered 2 million Health to it only thing left to do to it is just waiting for a higher base of players. The Grinch will no longer exist on DD1 after January King Slayer wont be easy to kill since it will lead to a new map full of bosses.
For Astaroth, El Kid, And the 3 bosses we used to kill on Map 2 for a quest that was certainly a challenge on episode 4 will come to place with other few bosses, this is in future updates, we just haven't got the time to push all this updates, and we dont want to rush so we can make every thing work 100%
I might change CTI Health tho, but will be changing it depending the player base we get.
