#883716 Arena Update #4

Posted by yotwehc on 04 August 2014 - 23:54

hmmm. as of the time i am writing this...there are 19 arena tourneys from level 100-199 that are waiting to fill...most have been awhile..8 from level 1-99...most of them awhile..27 of 60 just from 1-199....a question for all including big grim..how can we get and/or convince players to join tourneys at those levels ? seems opposite of what should happen..since almost everyone could join those levels..is it the gear ?, is it the fact you need a different setups every few levels ?, is it lack of the top arena players just not having setups for those levels (even tho i see a few at those levels)..? is it lack of newer players even trying arena.? i am not sure..wish we could fix it..most other levels are filling up at an ok pace..any answers out there ?

Here is my point of view as a wannabe arena player. I tried. I have tried many times. Nothing works. I gave up. I did ok in novice but never got out of the first round in regular arena. How do you get me to try again? By allowing me to learn why I lost. You can guess what the other guy has is not helpful. Just my opinion. I'm not the smartest player. I know the arena pros hate this idea but why not make one arena that is 50/50 regardless of level/equipment/skill. I will waste gold on that. At least I will have a chance. :)


#878819 If we implemented 3 FSH features, which would you pick?

Posted by yotwehc on 14 July 2014 - 00:06

I wonder how many players forgot which features are in game or through the script

Count me as 1... hence struggling to build my list...




#877793 Scavenging NEEDS to be updated..

Posted by yotwehc on 08 July 2014 - 02:30

So if I get this right, you just don't like the other junk you end up getting? The only difference in what you are proposing is you don't want to see the "normal" junk the other monsters drop? You also want to charge more? So overall, you would end up spending more, get the same % chance of getting item and you get no other drops? Is that right?


#876696 FSH - Ban, or Not ?

Posted by yotwehc on 30 June 2014 - 12:57

So why should FSH be banned? you can do the same thing without it? FSH is just indirectly involved its not the issue. i dont see where your going with this at all lol. The only proof i can possibly imagine you have is someone saying they do and for all anyone knows they can be kidding. Can hardly call that proof. Anyone can say something. It's fairly difficult to gather concrete proof on scripting. Even then it's iffy...

Thou doth protest too much. ;)


#874265 Titan idea

Posted by yotwehc on 19 June 2014 - 21:19

The as is solution is perfect. Works wonders for supply and demand. If the Titan is not worth cleaning up, then better for it to sit in the realms preventing any new titans from showing up this reducing the supply. Look at the seasonals. Demand is there so they only last hours and the next one can spawn. Those that sit for 2 weeks guarantee that Titan will not show for 2 weeks. Pretty genius IMHO.
Again, let's focus on the areas that need love. Titans are the least broken (with the exception of the magic hunters)


#873328 PvP should require that you find me, unless I choose to participate.

Posted by yotwehc on 14 June 2014 - 16:13

Aside from the fact leveling ,farming and composing are far too easy.

True. Hitting players who are in hunting gear is sooo difficult.

In all seriousness, I disagree with op's point but this argument is just as ridiculous if not worse IMHO.


#871978 Yet another Global event participation idea

Posted by yotwehc on 06 June 2014 - 02:36

What? How is it hi-jacking when the subject is the same: get more people doing more than the bare minimum on Globals.  Hi-jacking is bringing up an unrelated subject, which it seems you've done yourself - not I, or what I didn't get was perhaps this thread was about personal egos and not the game.

My only interest here is the game.

So your ok with me going to Cyrus's post and say... yeah.. your idea is good... but what about this one and totally derail from her well thought out idea? Wow... and I'm the one with the ego... lol




#871952 Yet another Global event participation idea

Posted by yotwehc on 06 June 2014 - 00:15

Gave some alternative ideas on Murabane's thread -- too bad you guys aren't consolidated and as having THREE threads on the same subject posted in one day is illogical though well intentioned.

I thought hijacking someone else's idea and derailing their topic was bad form? O_o


#871945 Yet another Global event participation idea

Posted by yotwehc on 05 June 2014 - 23:56

My first topic so you all be gentle. As with the other 2 suggestions here in the forum, we had a fun animated discussion with very different ideas. Here is my version.

 

The idea is to limit the powerful GE pots to a duration. The more kills you make, the longer the pots last (only applies for the leveling aspect of the potion - AL/Lib/Cons/etc...).

 

So as an example (for Ruby):

5k kills = 30 minute potion(s)

10k kills = 60 minute potion(s)

15k kills = 90 minute potion(s)

...

 

And another example (for Gold):

3k kills = 30 mins

6k kills = 60 mins

9k kills = 90 mins

etc.

 

As it currently works, high stam players gain an extraordinary advantage over the low stam players. With this idea, the advantage would still be there but at least it reduces the advantage a bit.

 

Some negatives:

- It's unfair to ask high stam players to take on more kills since they invested in all that max stam.

Simply, I have to disagree with this logic and argue that it's significantly more unfair to low stam players.

- High stam player just finishes hunt and doesn't have enough stam to qualify for a higher duration potion.

This is certainly a problem. In this scenario, I would hope HCS provide a 4-7 day announcement of an upcoming event for non-frag events.

 

Thanks for reading!




#871224 What date is the Double EXP event going to be on this month?

Posted by yotwehc on 01 June 2014 - 22:17

Drop levels, lol, did that all the time whilst being at EOC, it is not a way to relieve the boredom at all, set sail for fail I am afraid, I have even done all the quests I am permitted to begin. I don't just twiddle my thumbs that is baseless nonsense and bordering on slander thank you. How is rifling through content fun in any case, surely if you're power levelling through it you are not actually enjoying that content to it's fullest??

You aren't required to participate in 2x events. Personally, I really enjoy them and based on the buzz in my guild, I'm not the only one as just about everyone in my guild enjoys them. I save up all of my best potions in anticipation of the event. Sure, I shouldn't expect it but to dismiss things as boring for others? I can't wait to hit eoc. This is when I switch to the dark side and start playing a completely different aspect.


#870724 Increase the daily limit of 10 on +1 max stam for 25.000 gold in the upgrade...

Posted by yotwehc on 30 May 2014 - 14:35

Its not for veteran players its for new players in all seriousness. Only 10 a day for a new player is not much of a kicker. Nothing to make them want to stay or get anywhere anytime soon.

I don't know too many new players making 500-750k gold per day but I am a noob so perhaps it's possible.

#870098 Composing Potion Instant Finish Reset Timer

Posted by yotwehc on 25 May 2014 - 15:25

Here's an example that you may want to consider.

In this example, I would like to hunt at 17:00 FST and this hunt I will not be using Sacrifice. So I go about my business, hunting and slaying some creatures, breaking down items and gaining gold and then I am finished. My gold count when the hunt is finished is approximately 5.5 million and the time is about 17:45. Using your argument, my resets would have been reset about 17 hours ago at midnight so I would be able to deposit this sum of cash into the guild bank (where I do my deposits)... but wait, all that cash isn't gone, I still have a huge amount of gold. And my reset doesn't reset for another 7 hours! I might get hit in a PvP attack and lose it all!

Now, using my argument, I could set my reset time for 18:00 FST, do my hunt starting at 17:00 FST and finish before the hour is up, then be able to deposit the first set of deposits and then once the clock hits 18:00, I will be able to do another round of deposits. Granted there is still a small window between then and the reset so there is a possibility that I will get hit, but there is less of a chance since the time is a fraction of what it would have been had it reset at midnight.

As you can see, there are times where you want/have to deposit right after the reset.

Gomez.

I would manipulate this idea. As per your example, I would NOT make any deposits in previous 24 hours so I can make a big deposit pre 18:00 then do a second set of deposits post 18:00. Yay! I have essentially doubled my hunt deposits.
I can go with either but we are splitting hairs at this point and I think we should stick with the KISS principle.


#869935 Composing Potion Instant Finish Reset Timer

Posted by yotwehc on 23 May 2014 - 18:14

hopefully it is not the fact that many have given up doing composing..unless a person is on 24/7 or using a script for composing it takes far far to long to advance..and what you get for advancing is not good- i am about to be level 10 after many months of composing- my reward, i get to make librarian100 ..what a joke..really..librarian 100, could get that for small amount of gold in the ah, 4 years ago when i started playing...where are all the newer, different skills at ? why bother with composing for skills like librarian100...composing needs some improves at some time..mainly, time it takes to compose and advance, and the skills we are getting as we level..still shaking my head at librarian100 at level 10 ? confuses me

Why are you looking at it as the cup is half full? You also get AL195 and LF240 not to mention conserve 220. There are 50 levels for composing. You want lib250 at level10? Really? You are in for some cruel disappointment when you reach the 20's.


#869838 Multiple Accounts

Posted by yotwehc on 22 May 2014 - 17:15

Doesn't seem to be much of an argument when we're quoting terms of use, and no one wants to come out and say..."let's permit multi's".....however, the real issue here is, why are the rule-breakers the only ones doing this? Why not permit multis for all? Will that not bring more Cow bucks? If all are allowed to create multiple chars, would this not encourage involvement in more game aspects? For example, I have a level character, and a pvp character, etc... I have not thought this out fully, but could this take away, once and for all, unfair advantage?

DP

Although this would have a huge impact (allowing multi's for all) I kinda like it. Waiting for stam to regenerate is like watching paint dry. And as suggested, I would experiment in other aspects. The major negative? I would be clearing my self from the BB all day long.
