My point was it will not aid it....what is the point of unnamed level search if not an easy catalouge of prestige farming points?

So you want to farm Prestige? I'd like to see much better player searches. Searches that would allow you to look up players by who is online, what buffs they have, gold on hand, only level(not needing to use a name or partial name), etc. This new feature does very little. The FS Helper had a better search function. Hope that returns with the rest of the Helper when the dust settles.

Really? My comments lead you to think I want to farm prestige? Really?

Out of context quotes anyone? My previous comments applauded that control!

Anyways, in relation to your comments...

Why make it easier to find PVP targets with lots of gold? If thats your game, why not just send you a log message letting you know which players in your range are hunting? Would that make it easy enough?

All in all nice update but....

What is the logic behind the fortune pack?
I thought most players want LESS gold in the game not MORE ?

And when are you adding inventing pack ? :)


mmmm inventing pack. Extractor, Inventor I/II, LvL 200 sounds like chocolate cake!!!

hmm...

....you have added some good content into Fs which will help most players 8) (not like the useless chests before :lol: )

BUT (yes i know i used caps to point it out :wink: )

Why in Scions sake you have promised us *NEW RP ITEMS* and only brought in some of those buffs which seriously everyone can get without much effort...

.... i have dreamed of new epics or so to make it more attractive for players to GvG and since the prices for RP Items are dropping continously i thought about adding now epics for low lvls (under 100) and epics for like lvl 350 or so so those guys which have tooo much of the fsp will spend them again :mrgreen:

ok maybe you'll still add some items for us GvGers ;) keep up the great work HCS

Maybe I misread your post about farming Prestige.

I don't need to have a PvP target list. I can look at exactly 10 targets I have at my level atm by using the top 250 xp list. The purpose I brought this up was to improve the game in general for everyone. Here's the thread about improving the search engine: viewtopic.php?p=926007#p926007 There can be any number of reasons to enhance the search of players. I listed a few. The Attack Player screen lists players at your level by gold on hand and PvP points. Why not add those features to this attempt to improve the find player function? It is very easy to get rid of gold these days. Players rarely attack you for nothing, more then likely many are PvPing to manipulate the game for either prestige or for PvP points.

AWESOME! THANKS YOU ;) Also i accept someone message about this defensive pack...not many peoples are using basic level up points for defense or armor :) I think it would be better to ask peoples what pack they would like to see...and we could vote ;P

They never promised us new epics

From the thread- So... What's the plan?

The plan for this week is as follows:
- Add new Guild RP packs.


New RP epics are not needed. Im sure the cows dont want gvg to be so grossly profitable, I could be wrong though. Maybe if the system was changed to make it more difficult to gain RP such as linking it to rating and having it take rp if you lose so you wont lower your rating, so instead of beating up unarmed guilds you would actually have to take on ones that would put up a fight, more RP epics would be viable, but the current system is being abused to greatly.

Most the packs are suited for the majority. Is it really that bad for us with alternative base stat placement to have a pack? I mean, I could understand asking for more packs, and revamping some of the olds ones, but that pack is simply AWESOME for myself, and I know a few other players who are going to love it as well. Heck, even if your base stats arnt in defense or armor, just having force shield at 200 for that duration is worth the 20 RP, let alone the fortitude ;) That is if you know how to use it properly :twisted:

Great work HCS.

Only gripe is the Fortune Pack B. At the cost of 25 RP there isn't much fortune to gain. Find Item 200? If it was Find Item 1000 then sure. Or if Merchant and Tresure Hunter were 250 then sure. But right now 25 RP for the new Fortune Pack B is over priced. Maybe 10-15 RP if it stays the same, but if we increase FI, or Merch and TH then 25 RP would be reasonable.

Loving the updates so far. My favorite to date has been the ability to collapse the news items on the main page. Things are looking good. Can't wait to see the next ones!!

It also appears that your own name will not appear on the list of players. How will I ever find myself!?


The first thing I tried to do was put in the level range +/- 5, but then it said must have first 3 letters, GRR. Just kidding it would have been abused, however FS Helper already does something similar.

I do think its hilarious that you can't find yourself in the find player search box.

I liked all the updates, no complaints so far :smile: As for the RP pack costs, there is a little something for everyone in each pack, so it is justified to let the prices stand. Hopefully it will encourage some good GvGing in the upcoming weeks.

Thank you

Prestige farming will continue to happen unless xp is taken from players above AND below 5 levels, making the xp loss not worth it.


Prestige farming can be stopped much more effectively - by simply changing the PvP Prestige buff effect from a completely illogical XP bonus to something FOR PvPers (like, extra X% effect on the top of your PvP-oriented enhancements, allowing you to go over 100%).

(Besides, prestige farming would continue anyway, even if on a lesser scale as it would be more effective for high-stam players. It would still be economical for them to "pay" for XP loss)

Improved Player Search

The 'Find Player' page has been improved so you can now search for partial usernames (ie. you can enter the start of a username), by min/max level and also whether the player is in a guild or not.


36 x 36 x 36 = 46656 queries :shock:

And....why not just remove prestige? it is just another "win" button that failed to add more pvp to the game, it failed to give any benefits to the game at all.
