With it already being available to those who use the script it's only fair to give it to the general public

[gomezkilla]

It would be great if we could get some of the items on the list bunched together! Maybe like adding that guild conflict structure into the mix now while the new players are getting exempt from the guild conflicts?

Well right now -- it's is available to the general public - just use FSH.

But again -- handing everything on a silver platter just isn't a game positive. Easy win = little challenge = disinterest.

I dont have a desktop/laptop so i cant.. Nor would i.

Plus i dont think giving gold amounts on hand is going disinterest anyone more the opposite

I'm all in favour of the cows now banning the FSH and, by default, ALL scripts ...

 

Most of the outstanding facilities offered by the FSH can be added in due course, but all players managed without it beforehand and can manage without it now.

 

Removing this and all scripts gives the cows an easier way to detect if players are running custom scripts and thus treat them accordingly ...

+1, something needs to be done with the scripts..hurting the game

I use the "Auto Open Fragment Stashes"-flag and during my last hunt I got morge than 28 pages full of

"You gained # x Common Fragments by auto-opening the Fragment Stash dropped by 'Elemental Wraith (Global)'."

A flag to deactivate these notes would be very great since there might be PMs getting lost pretty easy.

Just an observation: (maybe just a "tiny" bit ranty too...)  It's all in the presentation, in all aspects of the game, with the exception of going hunting.  I just discovered the arena after 5 years on the game. And lets give credit to Yodamus for that, as he very patiently explained the mechanics to me.  Now, the arena may have faults, but I haven't found them yet, of course ONE win doesn't mean I'm an expert, but it seems to me that I was able to start out with a minimum of pain. YET, there is no good tutorial to start out players on the arena, and I'm not really sure what the shops in the arena structure back on the Mountain Path do. Yes , I can (and will) go to wiki to find out, but that's really doing it the hard way.  If going hunting was as difficult as finding out how to basically do the arena, I wouldn't be here five years later.

 

(pushes soapbox away)

 

Anyway, what we need to do is push the various aspects of the game, so that beginners, and new players understand it easily, probably written by players who are really into said aspect.  For example, BraveKath would be a good one to explain PvP, and she's just one example.  Some innovative advertising is what we need, and it WILL work.  Think of the gamers out there that haven't discovered FS.  Just look at some of the games that are available in the video rewards section,  those things are presented really poorly, and WE get paid to look at them!  (along with a small grain bag for the Cows...)  I'm willing to bet there are some advertising types playing the game that would give a free hint or two to help in a FS Ad.  The FS trailer at the beginning of the sign-on page is pretty, but it really doesn't really tell about the game.

 

     Oh yeah, back to the subject.....doing good on the list, no complaints there at all....alfalfa cubes to all the crew

Too bad the damage has been done with most scripters. Raking in the 5-digit plus on Titans to pad stats and guilds with no consequences when everyone else or at least overwhelming majority played legit.... Strange how fast some guilds move up the rankings... I really fail to see how removing FSH and banning all scripts changes anything. If no one has evidence to prove anything HCS usually says theres no reason to bother.

 

Multi accounts is more of an issue of scripting at this point with the mass profiting off titans via scripting (and gaming TKP system during holidays) having taken it's toll. We've had multiple people cite very specific players of being multi account users.

 

 

EDIT: As to getting back on topic....totally forgot what I was going to post about...

 

Regarding the Guild Chat.... Can we have a chat history going back 72 hours to ensure Guild leadership can see what is said in guild chat in case something comes up?

GvG needs attention - simple moves can improve it so very much, and I see no harm in trying something that isn't a complete alteration of GvG as we know it now. 

 

How do you start - quarterly resets.  Every 3 months reset top rated list.  Why; because the top is stagnant, and upcoming guilds so far from getting close - it's downright discouraging.  

 

Reward the top at each reset; nothing fancy - just a little boost of RP to the tops - further increases incentive to compete.  GvGers are very proud, and little incentive is needed imo. 

 

                1st - 300 RP

                2nd- 200 RP

                3rd- 150 RP

                4th & 5th - 100 RP

                6th-10th- 75 RP

                11th-25th- 50 RP

 

Don't go introducing more gear to be made with RP - want to include some updated buff packs that are with the times = great (buff packs that support the fields from which the currency to buy them is spawned would be an amazing revelation - titan hunting + GvG friendly packs) - but don't overdo it on the rewards. 

 

New guild medals in same light of ones recently introduced to recognize outstanding achievement on guild scale would be nice perk too..they can in themseves do something small like the current "
Guild Achievements " do - can represent few different catagories - top dogs, top 5, etc. 

 

I think this is good base idea to try.  There is no harm that can come of it in my opinion.  I believe it will create a new buzz in game; and many would be shocked at what doing a little can bring to a dying field. 

 

Thanks for reading; feedback, suggestions, etc ~ Rye

100% love that kind of Idea...well spoken!!

Given I know that .php is a pain in the neck to mess arond with, I don't mean to be pushy on things, but I was curious (ballpark) how far/close we are to the two currently being developed items?

 

Again I do want to reiterate that if it would be possible to have a ability to see the older chat messages back say 72 hours or so... It'd be a huge boost over the main global chat system.

Aiming to have the two items currently in progress on the list completed within the next couple of weeks. Note the guild chat history will go back some time and we can look at also extending the chat one too

I just hope it is " new " players and not everyone under a certain level.
