#924340 Current state of the game

I agree iceman, the lag and gateway timeouts should really not happen with the new servers and optimisation promised.

 

Content isn't so much an issue but it should come out faster.




#924311 Current state of the game

More than one cow works on this game.. It has rarely felt like only one has over the past years otherwise.. More than one cow created the content that was released under 2 months ago.. Two or three or more cows must have worked on that.. From creation of quests, items and artwork and beyond to the ones that implement it and do the maintenance on it.. There is no way one cow is working on this game..

Even if they aren't operating at the pace i think they should I can't ignore the work that goes into the game at whatever pace they implement it..

 

I can, as recently, no, a fair bit longer than than that, it has been mediocre at best and down right woeful at worst, rehash after rehash with the global events, zero content new or in addition too. Promises made and not delivered. I'm a paying customer i expect better.

 

Cheers.

It gives fuel to the conspiracy theory that there is no love for FS. I appreciate you sharing this info but it does give credence to those that suspect FS is 2nd fiddle to eldevin and the frustration was unfairly thrown in your direction.

Let's forget about updates, content and otherwise for a minute. It surprises me that we have to ask for a playable game. This has happened before. It's pathetic and a joke. Who runs their business like this, and after 8+ years, and expects to continue to be profitable? I am very displeased. Lip service, mentioned earlier, would acknowledge some communication. We get none of it  today, no explanation, no apologies, and we're heading into the weekend where we will likely get more of the same. It's a disappointment to say the least...




#923440 +1% Experience towards next level for Composing

Posted by BigGrim on 13 March 2015 - 11:18

Be cool if we could sell or give away our shards we have collected even if its just transfering them to guild store for a guild mate.


Far to abusable. Not happening, no.

I doubt we'd add an FSP means to boost Composing at this time.


#923350 How do you feel about composed potions?

Posted by wil72 on 12 March 2015 - 20:06

I never said it was the end, and of course my point is valid, please stop trying to dismiss it. You can try to "paint" my argument any way you want mate but at the end of the day the buff can't be changed if it has already helped players to reach EOC. I will not change my mind on this doom, we've argued this point a few times in the forums.

 

Cheers.

#923340 How do you feel about composed potions?

Posted by wil72 on 12 March 2015 - 18:48

I don't see what difference that makes, the buff as it stands now is the same for everyone, when/if changed it would be again the same for everyone.

 

The game has become progressively easier year after year. Using your logic, no remedies can ever be made to give difficulty back to the game, as this would be unfair to some?

 

Of course it makes a difference, it has been used in it's current form by players to reach EOC, it therefore has to stay as it is to help others do the same. Easier? In what way is the game easier? Levelling may well be easier but in what other ways is FS easier now compared to "way back when" ?

 

Cheers.

#923321 +1% Experience towards next level for Composing

Posted by yotwehc on 12 March 2015 - 16:44

Odd that some beat the "no easy button" drum some times then flip at other times.

At my current level, making potions the cheapest way possible (20xp pots), takes 6.5 million gold (1313 pots x 5k gold) and also requires 7,875 commons which I normally buy at 2.5k per frag. So I spend 131 fsp to go up a level the most cost efficient way possible (but not the fastest). If I wanted to speed it up and make 30xp pots, the cost sky rockets to 313 fsp and improves time by 33% (40xp pot improves time by 50% and costs 528 fsp). The suggestion is to do 1% instants at significantly cheaper then what it actually costs. Indeed an easy button.


#922997 Rise of the Wraiths IV (Global)

Posted by BigGrim on 10 March 2015 - 11:12

Q) Is decreasing the reward from last time going to motivate high max stamina people to dump more of their stamina on a global event? No.


It's always been 1 extra for the Frag events as their Community total is considerably lower than the Potion Events.

I was wondering if it was possible to make it to where we could gift the frag stashes to a guildmate or another player?


Nope. Frags and composing are for the individual player to master.

BG: can you please correct whichever one of these announcements is wrong?


Whoops. Fixed. It's a Ruby chest.

The spread of shards in the chests is fine and will not be changed again.


#922716 PVP, GVG, and Leveling Fix

Posted by Saxon on 07 March 2015 - 09:51

It would be good to consider the defense from an unbuffed unsuspecting player who is offline.

 

This idea would not change the overall result, any player unbuffed (even if EPICs are made into a 9 piece set) still has stats significantly below a buffed player.

 

EPICs were originally used for hunting before the addition of SH, CO-Ord Att buffs, but since the introduction of those buffs EPICs have only one purpose - stam gain. Which isn't a bad thing, more stam = more game time.

 

One idea could be an exceptionally long lasting buff (similar to Deflect or NMV duration) which has the % chance to quadruple the defense and armor of the defending player. But those luck buffs annoy the hell out of anyone that PVPs anyway so its not the best idea LOL




#922629 Daily, Weekly, Random Event Ideas..

 Composing Double xp event would be cool too




#922609 PVP, GVG, and Leveling Fix

Posted by Leos3000 on 06 March 2015 - 13:45

So, you want to be able to go offline, with attack/defensive buffs wearing 9 x 1 piece sets ?
 
Whilst I'd love to feel more "secure" in my epics, I think that this idea is, despite your protestation to the contrary, WAY overpowered.
 
I've just run some numbers on my offline setup ...
 
With just a few of those buffs ("only" at Level 175 too, mind), my stats went from ..
4691 / 6366 / 6930 / 13259
 
to
 
13135 / 12374 / 7536 / 25774
 
and with composing buffs (I've used Melissa's as an example of the highest level available - dunno if anyone else is higher?), those numbers go  to
 
23000 / 15500 / 8000 / 45000 (rounded up)
 
1. Yes, folk will feel safer in their offline epics
 
2. Not quite sure how boosting offline epic stats is going to reduce animosity ? - unless you just mean that we, who wear them, feel less "picked on" ? (your words, not mine)
 
BG has repeatedly said that there will be no epic sets (not sure if anyone has mentioned ONE piece sets before however) and I think he's right to stick to that.
 
I wear my epics purely and simply to regain stamina more quickly. The stats associated with those items are secondary.


You say 1 thing, but your numbers show this would not be overpowered.. since your stats are still below the best current sets for your level.

Also thought of another areas of the game this affects. Relic defense and groups in general.

Often people will try to buff others in groups or on relics to boost stats, but if they are in epics the buffs have no benefit.

#922420 XP Loss By Bounty Hunter

i think Honor should work on the bounty board..



I disagree mate, the boards for punishment at a set min/max %. No need to water it down further in my opinion.


#922191 Legendary Invasion!

Posted by 3JS on 03 March 2015 - 05:06

I don't envy the cows....

 

First it was, The drop rates are too high because of FI 1K! Too much gear in the game!

 

Now we have composing and it's, The drop rates suck! I need more drops! Give me a bigger FI!

 

I don't know about everyone else, but I think that if you want to have a billion frags, there's plenty of options. Buy them from farmers who are happy enough with the drop rate, go bananas during frag events, open chests, etc. I'm not really sure how much more it's gonna take to make everyone happy.

 

I've been plenty critical of the cows over the years, and I think they deserve a medal for dealing with some of us...
