One quick question.

Considering there were no responses to tickets and bug reports before you told us this. Now that the game is being scaled down as you put it, is there even less likelyhood of there being any responses, so, totaly pointless for players to even bother trying?

Either that or the devs have put out a statement delaying the inevitable.  Good chance we wont see any NEW content now.

 

The phrase to continue "to fully support the game " is an insult to the players that still play as well considering the absolute lack of support the games has had for months.

I know I have had differences with gogsy on many occasions, but this time I completely agree with him.

If HCS staff class fully supporting us by, not responding to tickets, bugs, any forum posts or anything for that matter, then I dread to think how much support there will be from now on, considering the future update time scale has been altered to god only knows if at all.

I am so dissapointed as I really liked this game and wanted it to succeed, grow and finaly get finished.

This news will only lower the player base considering how many people have been hanging on while waiting for lvl50

With the player base being so low and continuing to fall.  The price of vanity, gems, weapons etc is plummeting and they are being sold more and more for gold rather than EP as the players who are left look to be spending less real money to get EP.

The forum marketplace also seems to be virtualy dead nowadays so an auction house or any other trading system is likely to be pointless now unless something is done to raise the amount of players

Finaly, only took a little over 2 months to acknowledge the bug report   

Now for the long wait for it to be fixed   

Just a quick heads up for all that are still waiting on TopList to be fixed:

I just talked to Xero (chat log in the screenshot) - lets see if anything happens on monday.

But i agree, it is kinda sad that it takes that long and none of the devs seem to notice or care. 

Nice one, its just shows how much attention HCS pay to the forum bug reports

This is getting ridiculous.

This evening fallensword players complained about lag, within a few hours they had had a reply from HCS and it looks to have been fixed already.

Eldevin on the other hand, Bugs, tickets, lag etc are getting reported/posted but there are no acknowledgements or replies nevermind getting things fixed.

Come on HCS pull your finger out, if the updates for lvl50 are going take a long time at least get the present bugs fixed in the mean time so we can play a fully working, if not fully finished, game.

Thanks gogsy. The daft thing is, perils of dyrads isn't associated to either the council or the army

I'm getting more and more convinced that HCS are abandoning this game as they did with Sigmastorm2, but at least with SS2 they told us there would be no more updates/content, this may account for the rise in DC's 

Have a go with a bald character to see if he grows a full head of hair when on the mount   

Not sure if this has been mentioned before.

I have noticed that more and more players (including some of my alts) are using single handed weapons and a shield instead of a staff when they have a sorcery based character.

I personally feel if someone is going to be a mage, prohit or similar, they should be equiped appropriately.

I know that the shield will give better defense stats and using hybrid weapons with sorc and spell attack stats can give higher dps.

But, if the staff was changed to spell dps like the essence rather than it being melee dps, this may encourage more players to use them as it could hopefully outway the higher defense points of using a shield and the spell stats from a single handed hybrid weapon.

reset 10mins ago

It's so frustrating that it was 5days after this report bug post started that a member of staff actually asked if it was affecting everyone, and now another 4 days have passed with no post as to whether 25hours days will be the norm or if they are trying to return the reset time back to what originally was.

Can a member of staff please let us know if this 25hour day is something that will continue or if the intention is to return it to the normal time

Gems

 

Pull out gem previously inserted into equipment

 

Is it posible to pull out gem from equipment?

Yes but it costs 50 ep to remove each gem

Looking at the response, this was not a particularly good suggestion.

Not to worry, im sure I'll come up with even worse ones soon

The price of gems has become silly, some abs and supreme’s can be bought for next to nowt. At present low level players could buy large gems or get from the higher alts and go through the game over powered, thus making the game far to easy.

For example.

(I think I have got this about right) Aquas, Tourms, Turquoise and Jasper are a pittance to buy, so a first time player could easily afford one of these as supreme gems to slot in boondocks armour. By the time they got to lvl20 they could be slotting absolute, helios, corals, jade, tanz and zirc. By 30 they would have pretty much all the others without even breaking a sweat.

This is also be the same with regards to slotting weapons and shields, in fact for one of my low lvl alts I slotted a supreme topaz into a weapon and defined defence gems in the armour and found killing mobs easy with no worry about dying. Surely this can spoil the challenge of the game, to a point, if you know you can walk through it easily.

If the gems require a minimum lvl like gathering for profs is, this would make the game more challenging and therefore more fun.

Im not sure exactly what the minimum player level should be. How about allowing  cracked from the start, then, once you have accomplished a dungeon you can slot the next lvl up, so jagged lvl11, flawed 16, fair21, glim25 etc, so once you reach lvl31 you can slot defined gems.

What do people think?
