#880107 Elite Spawn Times

Posted by Nagoyaka on 20 July 2014 - 23:10

I agree, please make elite instant spawn, not 5 minutes even, but instant. I dont see any reason not to, the waiting time gives no challenge at all, only makes it boring. And boring is no good for the game.




#880098 Elite Spawn Times

Posted by Pardoux on 20 July 2014 - 22:09

It seems that elites respawn at various intervals throughout the levels. This can range from "instant respawn" to, I think, "20 min respawn" (not 100% sure about that tho, but seem to recall some like that).

 

My question is, is there any reason for these critters to not all insta-respawn ?

 

Most of the elites are involved in quests at lower levels and some, at higher levels, even require you to get a specific drop from them before you can progress in the quest.

 

Can all elites be changed to instant respawn ? - or, at the most, 5 min respawns ?

 

(yes, this can go on the bottom of the dev. roadmap - not suggesting it jumps the queue at all ... )

5 minutes would be a great compromise, though instant would be lovely. Particularly like the idea of instant for quest related elites.


#880008 Increase The PvP Attack Range

Posted by Pardoux on 20 July 2014 - 07:46

Please increase the PvP attack range..

It was increased from 5 levels to 10 levels at level 200.. Would it be possible to increase it further down the line as well? I know those at my level and even higher would find the increased target range more fun

 

Let's be accurate here - SOME would - some wouldn't :)




#879047 If we implemented 3 FSH features, which would you pick?

Posted by BraveKath on 15 July 2014 - 00:45

As per the topic, if we were to look at implementing 3 Fallen Sword Helper features in the game (for a start), which would you make a priority?
 
(I do remember we made a poll AGES ago like this, but it's most likely out-of-date now and I'd like to see what people would like now.)
 
It would be helpful if you could list them like:
 
1) Feature 1
2) Feature 2
3) Feature 3
 
We'll then do a manually tally of the requests to see which is the top 3 smile.png
 
Cheers,
Hoof


Let's focus ... as Hoof says "AS PER THE TOPIC ...."

The haters really have nothing productive to contribute here. This is not a debate about the merits or lack thereof FSH. Slinging slurs at other players is not productive and just reflect poorly on those slinging. I'm starting to get curious what the motivation of those getting so up in arms that FSH might be incorporated, what do they have to lose if it does?

* If FSH is incorporated, or at least priority parts = player retention and satisfaction. More players = more fun for us all, no matter anyone skill level.

* If FSH is incorporated, perhaps it allows HCS a little edge to curtail cheating (illegal scripts). What's objectionable about that? Even if you're of the mind set cheating can't be stopped, it doesn't matter.

Hoof simply asked what 3 FSH items people would like. He didn't ask if anyone liked or didn't like it. If you don't want any of them, then at the most say none and beyond that, you have nothing productive to contribute to the discussion other than negativity.

Let's keep to the subject.

Some wild accusations there. Do players join the game and instantly download FSHelper? I highly doubt they do. Those players that just joined then play the game and learn the game aspects. Then they stumble upon FSHelper and see how to play the game more efficiently. Just because people use FSHelper does not mean they don't know how to play the game.

Good point! I played FS for probably a year until I gave FSH a try.  It brought the game from STANDARD DEF to HIGH DEF! Like someone stated before ..You dont realize how many of the  features you take for granted, playing the game, are actually FSH features and not standard FS, until they are gone. HCS would be wise to implement as many features as possible. I have turned many people on to FSH, and the response to it is always overwhelmingly WOW! Why did I not use this sooner!

His post actually does Helper is not essential to the game,it is however essential to people who cannot play the game.

People with titles like legendary mercenary wrangler etc who never learnt its possible to solo every single SE Elite critter in the game.

Every 100 levels you should get a free skill reset, they shouldnt stack

That would defeat the purpose of the upgrade to reset all skill points... so, no thank you.

1) Guild Inventory - sortable by level, quick wear from inventory. A huge time saver. 
2) Quick buff is way useful as a time saver also.
3) I like the auto linking of scout tower info when you click on the titan kill log. A lot.
4) I like the auto calculation of stats vs monsters in terms of will you hit? Hits to kill etc., even though it has been inaccurate for a while it still gave me a ballpark idea and saved me some scratch paper!!
 
...


What Belaric said ... Those as the 1st priorities, though hard for me to chose, as I really like FSH.

Just want to say I think this is terrific Hoof, that you're having this conversation with us and planning for the future.

FSH Item 4 Request: The Hunting Buff List. I have keep 2 separate ones for PvP & Hunting and they are just the greatest check list of what buffs I have on or don't have on. I LOVE, LOVE THIS! smile.png

FSH Item 5 Request (the above 2 I view differently) .... I'd like to have the option of keeping my Allies up top on my right column just above my guild. I know others are like me, their allies are sort of a second-pseudo guild and many of us have invested a fair amount in adding to that list because we had FSH and could see our Allies on line and for me they are a big part of why I'm still active & I know I'm not alone in that.

6th FSH Request: (yes I'm getting greedy) ... See RD1542 outlined it well. Also this is most helpful to those of your customers-players who have invested the most in backpacks. I have over 600 bps and I get very frustrated when I can't use FSH to deal with it. .

7th FSH Request -- Wanted & Active Bounties --- oh please, pretty please :)

In addition:

> Could you guys just move FS Box permanently to lower left. That keeps it in our visual field, but not taking up prime visual field real estate. So just a re-working of the page.

> Could we make the Online Player list work again? That used to be how we searched for players with Gold -- Gold Targets. This requires PvPer-Gold Seekers to have to expend just a bit of research effort. We used to use that list all the time, but it no longer functions for me and that showed Gold On hand. Then the FSH feature where you just get YOUR PvP range and how much gold would not be needed.

Thanks a lot Hoof! Again, really pleased to see this thread and you asking.

As Always, Kath

Yes we can live without it. But it is inconvenient. How much inconvenience do we want to have to play through? Will lost functionality lose players? I don't know - and it is a calculation HCS need to make.

 

The guild report system and scrolling down looking for items in people's backpacks is a humungous PITA. Every time I go back and play SS2 the need to search manually for gear kills me. Doing it here with much more guild gear to organise - well, I'm trying to live with it now...




#878564 Pinata Frenzy I (Global)

Posted by shindrak on 12 July 2014 - 04:37

My opinion might not matter so much but I'm looking forward to the events where there are AM500 atleast from pots, those events are worth it in my opinion. They give me AM500 which I can use in multiple ways, like frag hunting, le events, and even other globals. As a player who has only played during a few globals I feel it is definitely worth it when there's AM500, cons, al, and overkill in high levels.

+1 not everyone interested in Composing




#878628 Fallen Sword Helper down 7/11/14?

Posted by sweetlou on 12 July 2014 - 14:13

So, We can blame the cows? :D

I will only blame the cows for not stepping up and implementing all the great ideas the Helper has/had. This should be on the TOP of their roadmap list!




#878574 Fallen Sword Helper down 7/11/14?

Posted by evilbry on 12 July 2014 - 06:02

Remember that using out-dated software or plugins can be a security issue.

 

For example, in the release notes for Greasemonkey 2.0 (the one you guys are downgrading from), it says: 

"For stability, reliability, and security the privileged sandbox has been updated to match the new changes to unsafeWindow for the Add-on SDK."

Looking at the rest of the release notes, this is specifically why the FSH isn't working with GM 2.0 ("these changes will break some scripts. These scripts will need to be updated to work correctly again.").

So, We can blame the cows? :D




#877771 Scavenging NEEDS to be updated..

Posted by Pardoux on 07 July 2014 - 23:39

OK, I appreciate that the main intention of scavenging is to sink gold - and, in that intent, it does a reasonable job. BUT, it could sink a LOT more if changes were made ...

 

I've just spent 15 million in the Mystic Cave, looking for "Barathor, the seer of Fire". At 45,000 per attempt, I actually SAW him only 17 times - so, a spend of 765,000 gold. The rest of that was wasted on random rubbish that I had absolutely no interest in.

 

Now, some folk could see that critter with a higher frequency and some could see it with a lower frequency, but the fact remains that if you see your "target" creature (I mean specific LE creatures in the caves btw) more than 5-10% of each attempt, then you're doing really well. If you get drops, then you're doing even better. I got one drop from Barathor - thankfully perfect - but 1, nevertheless.

 

The fact that I dont even SEE my target creature for approx 95% of my attempts dissuades me from spending copious amounts of gold ..

 

IF the caves were updated - by the addition of a third cave for "specials" where you ONLY saw those specials (with a lowered drop rate - and maybe even an increased cost) - then I'm sure folk would be willing to spend / sink more gold. Reducing a double-whammy chance of success to a single chance of success (chance of actually finding and then getting a drop as opposed to just the chance of getting a drop) can be nothing but a step in the right direction and thus a win / win.

 

After all - more gold sunk and players happier because they actually SEE the creature they're after - what can be wrong with that ?
