Strix quest locations are gonna be blood bath in the beginning top clans will occupy them most likely and pk everyone else. Could be interesting but I vote to keep achievements and get rid of strix for now. Judging from announcement admins made up their minds already so its not likely to change now anyways.

- Newbie weapons from Herald of Knowledge can no longer have runes inserted on them. Players who have this weapons with runes will get them seperated. Whats the point for that? I was planning to try to play from 0 on new char for fun and to see how hard it is to progress. Tbh with this change i dont feel like trying anymore. Rune is 100% essential for PvE especially if u try to level up solo and without boxed buffers. In my opinion rune is more important then enchants on newbie weapons.

Whats your point? Of course people who want a new server do not play on the current one otherwise there would be no discussion at all.

If the goal is to get new players then it doesnt matter. The most important thing is that there could actually be active players on low level zones willing to form a party. Also no +16 weapon guy behind every corner which is discouraging. Currently playing here is single player till 79lvl or so, and if i want to play single player i go play something else.

Yeah u are not gonna find any farming groups on low lvls. Unfortunately, currently first part (till u hit 3rd class i would say) is a single player game.

Maybe it would be justified, I don't know. However u should realize that the server will close eventually because nothing lasts forever. We dont know when, maybe this year, maybe in 5 years, maybe in 10 or 20 years but it is simply inevitable. Sunken cost will remain a sunken cost if u never plan to RMT your stuff. To all of the people saying that it is easy to level up and join end game content: you completely miss the point (in my opinion). At current state it is difficult to enjoy the game casually. Lets say u are a new player and u join here. For some time (weeks or months, depends on activity) u have to lvl basically on your own in order to grow to a reasonable level where u can be used as meatshield for big guys, and lvling alone is not very fun. After u get to that high level u realize that in order to keep progressing u really have to dedicate a lot of time or/and money, especially if u don't want to play top farmer class. I have played casually on and off since the start and for 2 or 3 years you could just log in, join a random pt in EV, Cruma, ABG, whatever, play for 2 hours, log out and not give a shit. U were progressing slowly but u did. Right now u lvl up quickly to high levels using all the free stuff and all the raid bosses and then to progress even a little u have to dedicate much more time (play in CP) and/or money (to get a decent equip, otherwise u are just meat).

Admins would most likely get a lot of shit from current players if they decided to close existing server. If they decided to keep the current server alive, then adding new one would generate more costs for them and split their attention on 2 different server which in my mind would end up with only bad things. Playerbase would be split too. These things considered I am sure they won't open a new server anytime soon. On the other hand I understand where u come from. Personally I also would love to have a fresh start on a new server with good administration. I look on the website from time to time to check the news. It is just completely different experience then what we have now

Funny if true

Advices about exping on RBs is cool and all but u have to keep in mind that you will run out of adena very very quickly and you will find yourself stuck on this D grade bow on level 60 or something like that because RB farmers take all drop. As a new player on completely new character u have to somehow balance traditional exp and RB exp so u can improve your gear with your levels. Exp is not the hard part, adena is. The best way for new players to make adena is to play when there is event going on the server. Usually u can sell event items to people for good price but I am not sure if there is any event currently. Other idea is to spend same time in trade zone (giran harbor) and try to make some money by trading (simply buy cheaper sell for more). But without starting adena it will be hard for you. Last idea is to obviously donate few euros and sell coins of luck. Fastest method but least fun.

As I am not so fluent in test server commands, can I ask you to also test power of archer skills, as well as Stun Shot chance of stun? For me it seems kinda low but I have no proof.

but he has shown stats where we can see that m.atk is similar (only 70 difference) so how set and berserker matter here? same m.atk = same dmg

besides archers there is not many "useless underdog classes" tho

20 lvl

It is funny how this thread was supposed to be TL;DR about server situation but turned into 30 shitposts very quickly

?

It definitely is not too good for the server in a sense, that new players might be discouraged when they see shit like that. Pay 2k to reach endgame instantly. Personally, as a casual player I don't care if someone buys it (I am a little suprised people would waste such money for couple of pixels though).

Is someone really gonna pay 2k euro for that shit?

But were u STANDING in floran when you tried to use them?

Still, it will be at least slightly harder for them and they will spend more for premiums. We shouldn't leave the bug untouched just because there *might* be some other way to abuse rbs.

Maybe but I find it hard to believe that no new "good cps" have chances of being formed. I am sure players are out there, but currently you can actually reach 78 on your own and once you reach this point, you are not really encouraged to bother and make new CPs. At best it is much easier to try and join exsting ones. When people hit that wall on 50 lvl instead of 78, they were much more motivated to group up and work together to become stronger. Fair enough. Random players have many options to choose right now and I agree with that, but like I said, grinding in empty spots while top dogs are farming new update content is really not enjoyable so they come to 75 lvl RB in order to die and cry later.

Fun video and probably best example of how one organized party is stronger than whole CC of unorganized mess. I am wondering what would have happened if all those people actually turned around and rushed your party (at 1:00 minute mark). But unfortunately there is no person capable of controlling it.

You are right. That is why 1.0 might have been more enjoyable for casuals than current version of the server and there is no reason to laugh at them. The game was much much slower. If you logged once in a while then you didn't really lose much. From casual point of view the criticism is perfectly valid.

You make it seem like playing in 1.0 wasn't fun at all. In reality nothing has changed since then. Nowadays if u are a casual player who cannot play daily in CP, you won't get anywhere close end game conent, just like it was in 1.0 and 1.5 and 2.0. However back then in 1.0 95% of server was equally weak, so people joined a random party in cruma hitting krator without shots for 2 minutes while talking, socializing, enjoying their time.

After ABG next will be LoA or TOI i guess. GC & DI will most likely be too hard

1. Players are not allowed to: 1.3 Take advantage of the server bugs (including geodata flaws. EX: Using BD/SWS/WC/OL/healers from outside of baium room to support the parties inside). 3. Players must: 3.1 Report any bug to server Administration/GMs 3.3 Abide by these rules. I sentence you for 3 years in prison ?
