I play PoE when I don't play Rohan and have a blast just soloing in an mmorpg xD
Plus it would be NA = > higher pings, which sucks, especially with this "active" combat system (blocking, etc).
Edit:
Well, yah EU indeed. But can't deny they use a lot of copy-pasta for their content.
I actually also bought Black Desert, but played it for like 3 weeks tops. It's beautiful, but requires way too much of my time AND the grinding is nearly as slow as Rohan, plus I has no frands so it's boring QQ.
Pings sucks :(
I had a nice sitdown with Karazy about 2 weeks ago and we discussed this post, server merge, more pvp events and future premium weapons to name a few things, and without writing our full convo on here let's just say like this....half of the ideas on here...together with some of the " requests " on here are never even gonna be looked at for various reasons, I was also quite suprised that we both shared the same view on the future uppgraded weapons regarding the stats and the bound or not bound weapon issue,
With that being said, Keep the post going and pray that something usefull might pop up here for the GM's to consider in the future
Lol they already ****ed over the people on Divinity/Jin server....why wouldn't they do it again? "We know you guys geared up on an upgrade free server with crappier rates because we said it would be an upgrade free server, but now enjoy being moved to a server loaded with upgrades where people got to forge/refine/reinforce their gear with higher rates...oh yeah...then we're going to lower the rates too..."
I'm sure you and knuffles will do fine I got frnds from vietnam, 'straya, germany, poland, russia etc.
Tera is in a really new player friendly state right now. Getting to 65 takes 1-2 days of casual grinding, once you hit 65 the game gives you a weap/armor set and a quest chain which will award you with the mid tier set of the last patch which is still good now. Its easy as **** to make gold in fact I got over 50m in items and gold without spending anything!
Okey me and some guild guys were talking about the merge and in the end we were talking about other games wat we could play if the merge will happen. Yep it was a big list so.. dont even think about merge...
Second i know wen karazy told us all that isen will never get a merge.. he gonna start lieing to? After wat happend to jinn? So much hate and friends that left? You really want that? Why? Because 5 ppl are crying?
I sold all my stuff on jainus, yeah and you know wat, i was happy that i left that crapy OP server
Why not give those 5 guys a option to transfer with there items to jainus?
Im really mad that we are talking about a merge again.. why the **** you think we left jainus?
We on isen enjoy the game without upgrade stuff, we dont need them.. not tommoro or next week...never..
Now pls stfu with your merge, and go play on jainus if you dont like isen..
Peace
Btw why we never speak about jainus merge to isen? Delete all upgrade stuff and done..
Ooo wait alot guys will start crying because the put alot cash in those weapons.. 30k rps? I waste like 70k rps to make a onix set and onix weapon.. wtf is the different?
85% of isen dont even think about pvp or those events..
If you wanna pvp, make a alt char and go lime and kill it 100 times..
So for the last time stfu about server merge..
Tnx
Because they're not going to delete upgrades.
They could of course nerf Jainus rates further and make event rewards even crappier while improving them for Isen to encourage players quit the former and (hopefully) move to latter, but the rates are already barely different on those servers so if they go any further they'd need to change the text on the server selection screen. The process also wouldn't be 100% efficient as an amount of players would quit without restarting in Isen (I reckon a new super pricey character transfer service (upgrades excluded) might improve the efficiency somewhat - for which there would be a 90% discount if you delete your upgrade (since you won't be needing it any more anyway)).
Rohan is a game meant to have classes or items that are OP. It has been shown in the past and it is shown now. But I don't know why all the crying that Upgrds suck x or y. Get yourself an upgrd and go compete easy as that. If you want the easy road then quit no one will care. YNK dint care of all the quitting when the timed epics where sold or the upgrds 1.0, why should they care now the few that will quit on a server merge that will most likely help the main servers flourish?
So jainus will be happy with 5 new guys? Wtf dude wake up...
We dont give a **** about jainus..
Why you want merge? Jainus servers to empty? Why the hell you think the are so empty?
Peace
You don't get it.
Both servers lack players. Ok?
What's the problem with empty servers? They make less income than the servers cost.
What do they do to lower the costs? They merge servers.
Got it? Doesn't matter if they piss Jainus or Isen people off. And since Jainus still has more players than Isen - guess who might have to swallow the bad part?
I think you dont get it
Here we come terra online...
I play with a few chars on isen, evry 4 weeks i buy for €100 rps, you really think it cost them monny? Bull****
The only reason is because jainus guys are crying because there server is empty and the need some new players to rpk and a few guys in isen are crying because the wanna pvp but most persons dont want that in isen.
Thats it
So if you dont like empty servers its time for you to leave rohan, and if you want have some more fun in pvp you should sell your stuff on isen and join the crapy jainus server.
Good luck
Why the HELL are you talking about server merges? This thread has nothing to do with server merges, but rather what stats/attributes on premium weapons. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with ISEN.
So stop crapping up my thread and make your own about server merges. It does nor belong here.
ON TOPIC:
I think I have just about enough data to go back to the GMs with from the few that actually took this topic seriously and provided it.
I will tabulate and merge that data into the original proposal and submit it to the GM team. If anyone else has anything to say abut the actyual topic, speak now or forever kick yourself in the ass for not having your input included.
Hmmmm did I said that Reinforced to +15, 150 all stat and 10% leech on the weapon?
I think i did so i am just repeating myself :3
Ohh and 5th tier plox no Onyx so players lvl75 can get a hold on them :)
I may suggest 3 ranges -
30-70 level (beginners with very similar stats as noob epics)
70-115 level (intermediate level very similar to the original epics with same tier level)
115+ level (endgame level suitable for end-game pvp/pve stats/attribs/options similar to glacial level upgrades - don't want them more powerful than the current upgrades)
I will see how well that goes over.
making them tradeable would completely destroy any hope of forged EM weapons for low and intermediate players need to reason for low and intermed players to forge stuff rather than simply trading around pre-purchased IM weapons. If they have to buy them for each character, the lower end players may decide to forge something instead. Remember, there has to be an RPs sink for PWI to even consider any proposal. I mean $15/1500 (beginner) or $30/3000 (intermediate) RPs is not too much to ask for a permanent weapon that is good enough to last you 40-45 levels (esp in the intermediate stage). It is easy to blow that much just on scrolls and ases in a month.
That is cheap enough that players would consider buying them, yet expensive enough that if they don't want to buy them for each toon, they can still forge something for it to use.
Tier 5 for up to level 115s. Old epics are still no slouch at that level, but go beyond them you will need something stronger - perhaps based on glacial or onyx. Not sure if they will go for anything in that territory. will need to see since even the GMs don't know what their management would prefer to do.
Tier 5 works at 115 after that you need either Glac or Onyx. Probably skip Glac and jump right in to Onyx cause we have Upgrd Glacials we need Upgrd or Epic Onyx :)
I think this project will be a waste of time.. 60% dont want to spend that much cash in a game.. you think.new players will buy a weapon for 7 or 30 days that cost them.more then 20 euro? Nope the wont, those 60% are kids with no jobs. How can the pay that ?
Btw knuffl88 it wont happen ;)
We can only try. I know upgrade sales won't happen again. So at least we are trying to give PWI something they can do to ease the upgrade pressure.
The worst they can say is "No".
I agree about the merging. 99% of the people playing in Isen are there because they are not interested in playing a server that has such a huge buy-in as Jainus. Merge Isen & Jainus and that 99% will throw up their hands and walk away. I would in their place. So don't expect a merge of Jainus and Isen unless they are getting ready to permanently shut down the game.
I agree man, its what I've been trying to say...only I think its more like 90%+ won't spend so much on a game, let alone a single item in an old game with a low and shrinking population...its just most have already left. They should just add upgrade parts to the loot tables and make them have a rare chance to drop...at least then they might get people to stick around who will forge those pieces as well as buy other items, like xp boosters, scrolls, costumes, etc.
The way it is now is upgrades are like going to a bar with a 200 dollar cover charge. Nobody is going to buy your 3 dollar drinks when the cover charge is a scam...but if you got rid of the rip off cover charge you'd eventually sell enough 3 dollar drinks to make it worthwhile.
Arguing over the stats of the next overpriced upgrades or how much a temp upgrade should cost while throwing out prices that will still cost hundreds of dollars a year is pretty much like arguing whether dog poop or cat poop tastes better while most people would just rather not eat poop.
The key word in your argument is "eventually".
PWI does not do "eventually". They need tangibles that they can take back to their shareholders. You cannot keep a company alive on "eventually". Banks don't take "eventually" as an answer on when you will pay back your loans. Employees don't accept "eventually" on when they can expect their paycheck.
Add upgrade parts to the drop table as a very rare drop? How exactly would you explain this to PWI's executives? What are the tangible benefits of doing this? There is nothing tangible about "eventually". Look around at some of the other threads here. You REALLY think that would draw new players here when grinding in those places is an rpk fest and those players leave after a week of trying to level?
Keep the ideas coming. So far I haven't seen anything that has more than a snowball's chance in hell of being even remotely acceptable beyond those few that actually stuck to the topic by people actually interested in improving the viability of this game.
Uhmmm how about a VIP license where the player pays a monthly subscription and gets 24/7 increased rates on everything?
:)
Perhaps we can add that (and possible removal of venge recharge) into the proposals. We would need a happy medium between benefit and cost for it. There would be a lot of questions that need to be considered:
Would that VIP be per account or character? At present the packages are limited to the character but other games I know of attach it to the whole account.
Would it supplement increases from solo and party scrolls/seals?
It is certainly worth some thought.
We just need to remember that it has to be something that PWI can do internally via configuration rather than code updates - since it is damn near impossible to get PW Korea to do anything.
Must really suck to run a business based entirely on the current quarter that never plans ahead...no wonder the games dead lol.
Upgrades didn't make any money last quarter anyhow lol. Besides...most the people playing that are willing to buy them already have them and just trade them back and forth...unless release some more OP onyx upgrades the sales will just end up less and less every time they offer them up.
In reality it would be an easy sell...its a way to hopefully draw some players back that will spend money on other things that aren't willing to dump hundreds on a single weapon.
The only ones you think are acceptable are the ones that double down on stupidity that obviously doesn't work. Let's keep making the game more expensive and let's keep increasing the buy in price to even get a decent sense of what pvp is like...its been working so well in the past!
