As with the current state with the server issues, and how reliant a lot of us are on the 2x XP events for whatever reason.... perhaps, once the servers are sorted out, we have monthly 10-25% xp events. This helps pretty much anyone who would participate in them, and be in line with what a lot of other online games do. Also, it would encourage a bit more regular playing in the game. These would be announced only on the day beforehand, thus to encourage players to stay continually active who wish to take advantage of them, and lessen the reliance on 2x XP events...

 

Mind, I think having an additional 2x XP event in a 2-3 months timespan from now could alleviate many player's current frustrations along with a portion of reserve stamina to go with it.

 

Lastly, I've mentioned this to some HCS staff previously, but I think taking the time to remove all accounts inactive for over 2 years under level 10 would aid in reducing data being retained on servers and help to a degree with as much burden being placed on them.... particularly given how many thousands of the low level junk gear are being held in BPs taking up more data on top of that.... just a thought I'd like to put out there.

As to remove inactive low level accounts, I'm all in. Also, HCS can figure out a way to do it with dead guilds too, just need to find a way to be fair with them.

For gold events...I don't think that's a good idea, the only thing will happen is: The Marketplace will go higher, the Items will go higher, the high level players will still have the same amount of Items to buy, and the low level players will be more far to buy any item, can't see this helping the majoraty of the game, just punishing the low level ones, which can't make thousands during the event.

For more XP Events...I can even accept 3 Events a year (March 1.5x, September 1.5x and December 2x), but I can't say that I'm all in for any more than that.

Just a heads up...HCS REALLY should take half (or even more) the XP given by any Titan, that's just making few players to hunt like crazy the higher level ones, and make an absurd amount of GXP, we can see Top guilds with 10~20% of the GXP just on one player. I believe the GXP/Top 250 guild page should be based onthe guild with more people who level, not on those who spent 5 hours killing the same Titan and making 200bi GXP on it.

And I'm not saying that targeting any player, I know Bildor did, nagoyaka did, Urck did, even mary4ever, bilops and some others from my guild did it, I just can't see that on a fair way, Top guilds should receive their place for having more people who stays together and level together to raise the GXP, not for one player spending hours and making billions of GXP.

Could not agree more with that, plus think of all the cool names that will be released, potentially, for other players.

Just to let you know no titan gives you 200b or even close to it you get like 50b in a 2x for absurd amounts of stamina  :). Grinding a champion is almost the same payout... Theres also this thing called cool down and competition.

Yeap, now we're talking about Kraganath, but few months back (before Eater of Time XP fix) it was like 150.000XP (raw), we all know it, that's the way top guilds used to make huge numbers on their bio...And I really think that's not close to be fair.

they have done something like this before.. but i remember when this suggestion was tossed at them again that they said it didn't really affect the game's speed.. will have to get a cow to verify though

i remember a cow saying a players' profile page and contents consists of a few Kilobytes of data, and sitting idle have no effect on game speed

 

it's player activity that slows down the site...though i don't understand why the site ran better back when we had 5k online players than it does now with 400

whats with this titans should give less xp there is nothing wrong with the way they are how can people power level using them get out of here there is something called competition and walking around a map for next kill. no way someone can abuse amount of xp received by them and level in a good manner without costing a limb

I am not really sure why Fallensword does seem to become extremely laggy with every event, but maybe its because the remaining players are straining the servers harder then five or more years ago? I still remember using an phone-modem to log onto the internet, while everyone seems to have ADSL or fiberlines now? Also the game has become wayyy more data-intensive.. Also, during an xp event players are spending maybe one months stamina in just a couple of hours?? But anyway, this situation really needs to be taken care off, because if every events causes inmense lagg then the game can't grow...

could make it more interesting and have random XP bonus events for certain types of creatures.. would make players become knowledge of the types of creatures in teh game and what is around their level to take advantage of that bonus XP..

 

of course some players will be left out due to those types of creatures not in range but there will be times where they can take advantage of it..

I do like the idea of having more regular smaller events :)

it's player activity that slows down the site...though i don't understand why the site ran better back when we had 5k online players than it does now with 400

Even so... we've got 10s of thousands of such accounts, maybe even 100k or much more than that.... the math on that we're talking TONS of data, as we aren't then factoring in the data for the items and other info beyond just the player profile tied to the account.

The data for each image rendered on those profiles that are equipped, and so on could add up drastically too, as it's constantly accessible it's a kb here and there tens of thousands or more times over.

 

I'd highly urge a first phase of this by clearing out all sub level 10 accounts more than 2 years inactive and items/etc attached to them. I'd personally be in favor of all sub 25 over 4 years old as well, but idk if that's as acceptable or not, but it'd clear another huge chunk of data if they did that as well.

 

could make it more interesting and have random XP bonus events for certain types of creatures.. would make players become knowledge of the types of creatures in teh game and what is around their level to take advantage of that bonus XP..

 

of course some players will be left out due to those types of creatures not in range but there will be times where they can take advantage of it..

 

For class based creatures giving a higher amount of xp to celebrate new personal/guild achievements for kill x (type) creatures, along with possible new buffs like Holy Flame for creature types as I've hinted at before. Boil for Aquatic, Zap! (Vermin), Grapeshot (Avian/Birds/whatever that type is, lol), Predatory Hunger (Beast).

 

We could have weekly events that there is double xp on certain types of creatures based on creature type. This would give a major incentive for more activity, and encourage efforts and emphasize more knowledge of the game's creature types.

 

Could even do seasonal quests for creature types even. October/November could have "The Grand Hunt" with beast types giving bonuses, and quests revolved around them, kind of like how holidays have some quests/etc. 

 

Some of these things can branch out into other ideas I've got regarding this, but more or less that's part of that.
