so maybe there is possibility to change names to random names when koth starts? well i understand about ppl who speak each other ,but anyway not all is speak its other so abit it will help..
It's way too complicated and can cause serious bugs if something goes wrong, for close to 0 difference.

15 minutes ago, hellldrake said:Lets remove evertything from elf ,why dont we?
how about ICE and teleport from SM? we cant use antidotes so how is this fair against a SM who can just kite and attack?
Oups, forgot about them, both skills were not meant to be used, just like on the old Arena.

cant change gear while in arena. dunno if its a feature or a bug.
You can't move items after getting into the event, part of the features.
4 minutes ago, Korniz said:in my opinion it's better to do that with an invisible name's because it now gets like gw on top guildsThere's no such feature possible outside of CC which has it internally. But even if it would be, makes small difference as in CC ppl still help each-other using voice system, no matter if hidden names or not.
We did made things with that in mind, that's why you receive less and less points after each kill on same character (on KotH), that's why you're limited on lives taken on same person (and we'll limit it even more dynamically as a next tweak), and that's why last round from last event is 1v1. More than that, whoever wins can't join anymore so next tournaments from the week you won't face the same winners except of sunday's final tournament.
For those that had no message when tries to join the event: You didn't had over level 200 (which is the minimum needed), but the message didn't showed up, I'll fix it for tomorrow's arena.
Also I'll update to not get PK Tips during Arena, with the PK points left and so on.
Tomorrow is the 2nd round (KotH - Special 3 - class-only fight), good luck.
#Waiting feeback / reports as well.

GG for 5 years
Im active on every single golden invasion , white wizzards ect... But that master class hunt from top guild are just legit .. No matter what we do here or what we want to do u cant match the top 100 , its not about xp boosts or smth .. The game starts from point were u get close top resets and most important is 1 pvp set. wich u cant get , and ill explain why .. TOP guild farm goldens like in 30 seconds , when it comes to Relic event .. Hue hue fuuny .. They split in 2 group 1 group insta farms from entrace of relic . 2 group does event .. and that like from first day ... Ofc its cool ect.
on lost map dont take me wrong.. kundun is on lost map 6 , and there is spot in almost same cord as kundun spawn.. No big deal that kundun dies 15 sec after respawn for the same players since first day .. Ect ..
P.s last 6 illusion temple first stage on low lvl is 0 players cuz of rewards , they are so useless compared to xp lvlup , no one plays it
Any way server is fun to play with friends and some strugles ofc , but the population of server 800++ we dont have inaf possibilities to farm real items wepons ect.. LIke fuck that im not gona buy wepon for 100$ just becouse i cant get it by myself or with group.. And i know u gona call it crying ect But please u have the same Council members from begining wich are top players .. and no one of your " Main GM group" havent played this game INSIDE. So u just DONT UNDERSTAND how it is to play if u are not in top guild ! I swear god non of your arguments are lit if aim it to under top100 players.Advice from me <-- Remove possibility to see Derkons / GDD/ Budges from that they were killed and in wich map they were killed. Same for wizzards .
Yikes, there is content farmable for everyone (budges, goldens, ww's, rabbits, derkons) and there is content farmable / being fought by top players / guilds, which require GROUP of people to be farmed / won (GGD, Cursed, Nightmare, Kundun, BWQ). The content farmable by everyone is purely based on who finds the mobs first, as you kill them in 5-15 seconds starting from 5+ resets, no matter if you are TOP PLAYER or just a random farmer. I'm not quite sure what you expect, to be able to farm everything and get everything as a SOLO player that isn't even in TOP? Not possible, not the kind of server for that.
We gave you all the perks you would never dream of for helping newbies / less active people to catch-up, as well as limiting the top players advantage, but we can't play for you, and neither we can find a guild for you to play the game at its full potential with. In any game the people that started first and played a lot are the ones controlling the Market, and you can do nothing about it, it's part of MMO games. You can either be hardcore like them from start or play casually and enjoy the game without high aspirations.
24 minutes ago, dontpanic said:what if we group the tournament base on rr? (for special 1 & 3 only)
there could be different prizes for each group- 1-3rr will get low tier items/jewels/credits
- 4-6rr
- 7-9rr
- 10-12rr
- 13-15rr
- 16-18rr
- 19-21rr will get high tier items/jewels/credits
this will give low rr players confidence to join the event and all will have a chance to win something
This Event is not another "bring your alt, switch your gear from main to your alt and win the event". This Event is the only true PvP event for people that actually built their chars for PvP and worked them, where they can show-off and have fun.
You have 2 specials that are designed to give everyone a fair chance, as well as a handicap-closer for last laugh. But again, this event is not designed for NEWBIES, it is designed to test your work that you've put so far and how you've built your character. A REAL event.

but i was offline like 3hours past 13days (started 13days ago) and spended more like 100euros i think already, but they really spend more :)) and i think i can use my brains good with master degree
Meanwhile they played 56 more days than you, without any "free 500% exp boost" like you benefitted from.
You don't need to use brain to finish degrees, wake up.
You can have an Einstein brain, if you don't use it before speaking/typing it is useless.
Cheers.

41 minutes ago, Sensei said:
so you saying people who paid loads of cash(Dynasty,Hardcore.. etc..) will not have higher chance to win? without spending so much cash you cant achieve that
That's why I don't know if to laugh or cry, you refuse to use your brain and prefer to type non-senses as a result of frustrations that you're not on their level.
Exactly the TOP players are those that donated close to 0, because THEY were the ones playing from start 24/7 and hunting, farming and selling things for credits to avoid donating.
The ones that donated are mostly exactly the opposite of the active players, are those that doesn't have the same time / dedication to put into the game but they compensate with money so they can still be competitive among the active players, but they still depend on such active players for their own items.
And there's the last type of players (most probably like you) that neither can / want to play the same amount of time like the top players and neither wants to support via donations to compensate, and STILL wants to be on the same level like the other 2 types which I'm sorry, it is impossible on ANY game.
One thing you are right about, this event is exactly for THE BEST PLAYERS, the dedicated PvP event for those that did sacrifices to reach their position, not gained some random freebies.
Cheers.

- Wednesday - LMS Special 2.
- Friday - LMS Special 3.
- Objective is to kill others while surviving.
- Every character does have 5 lives when they join.
- Dying will remove 1 life and will notice you the lives left.
- When lives are over, you'll be removed from the event & moved out.
- A character can only remove 2 lives from another character. After that, he no longer can attack that character BUT the other character can attack him (for at least 2 lives).
- Winners are the last 5 characters that remains alive.
- If the event time is over and there are more than 5 characters left alive, there will be a TOP5 made by Lives taken and then by lives that you had left. So if 2 characters have the same amount of lives taken at 5th and 6th position, the one with more personal lives left will take the 5th place, and so on.

-
Specials:
- Special 1: Free For All, normal fight with characters exactly as they are.
- Special 2: Free For All, normal fight with ALL CHARACTERS receiving reset stats & points for 20 RESETS - more chances for lower players.
-
Special 3: Class-Only fight, players can only fight with characters with the same class like them, during the Event, with characters exactly as they are.
- Note: During the Special 3, the limit of 2 lives taken is valid only if there are > 4 players left from the same class. If there are < 5 players left from the same class you can take any amount of lives from characters.
- Note2: Also on Special 3 there is only 1 winner from each class (last one standing), so total of 7 winners.

Schedule for King of the Hill is the following:
- Tuesday - KotH Special 3.
- Thursday - KotH Special 2.
- Saturday - KotH Special 1.

- Killing another character will give you 10 points.
- The 2nd time you kill the same character you will earn 9 points, 3rd time 8 points, and so on until you'll get only 2 points for killing the same character (and the value will stay at 2 points, no longer decreasing).

- There is no set duration for the LL but there are 3 rounds:
-
Round1: LMS Round

- The first character to kill the other for 2 times will advance in the bracket (Best of 3).
- You do receive a clear of all buffs/effects after a kill and you start from different corners again.
- SD is not restored during the match.
- After winning a match you advance in bracket and either wait or face your next opponent from Winner bracket.
- After winning/losing a game you will be redirected to a new cage.
- After each finished game, if your SD is not full, you will receive a Complex Potion that you can use in first 5 seconds of the next game, to restore your SD to full. You need to be fast!
- Players that lose in the Winner bracket are being sent into Loser bracket where they face other losers.
- Games on Loser bracket are the same as on Winner bracket (Best of 3).
- If you lose a game on Loser bracket you are eliminated from Tournament, if you win you advance in Loser bracket up until Grand Finals.
- Grand Finals are BO5 (Best of 5).
-
A virtual bracket will be generated for the 8 players left, it will be based on the Points gathered during round 2 as following:
Arena Tournament V2 will be released on Sunday night, and there will be 1 week of BETA period. During BETA there will be no rewards for winning, instead, you will get 2x Jewel of Chaos for each REPORTED, CONFIRMED & FIXABLE BUG you encounter during the week. So try your best to bug the Event!Note: We do expect some problems during BETA, so take it with a grain of salt. Also we're waiting any suggestions / feedback related to it as you play & test it.

In race event, your spawn decides in 90% who will win. If you take a position from left to right>>> 2 > 3 >then 1 have the most chances to win, the rest have almost no chance to win. The entire race is decided at the first corner.
I suggest to spawn all ppls in one point with "transparency" (like u eliminated from OSGM)
Fair point, will be kept in mind for the rework.
QuoteHere I can't understand you, I always point out a specific problem and try to offer a solution to it. And PPLS calls me a cryyy just because they wanted to insult me.
And lets be honest, all that situations start from u. I started discussion about ARF, alone vs all Squadrons and u i try to change something, i comming with arguments, frames, but u dont listen me, Squadron just use that situation in her favor, some ppls from my guild get BAN becouse they tired of asking you and at one point started insults u. And what is final ? u finaly make a changes but I was still left cryууу in your eyes because I tried to make the game enjoyable for everyone
The difference between pointing out a problem and crying is mostly related to the attitude of how you present the problem.
I am not an irrational guy and I proved it in many different scenarios so far. Remember when you were reporting bugs like PvP invasion respawn and so on and you were approaching me (or Gion) like "Hi man, there might be a problem with X or Y, I have a screen/video with Z, can you check?" and I was immediately reproducing it on test-server and fixing it as well as thanking you for your report. Difference between back then and your closer past is the attitude. An attitude offended by anything like we, as staff, are your deadliest enemies and we want only the worse for our *own* project.
The things I will always hate / ignore / not care about are crying (translated into shitty/immature way of presenting a problem OR considering that you are a "victim", when in reality you are just a consumer of our work, good or bad, you take it or you leave it), suggestions/solutions that are meant to help ONLY targeted individuals and/or groups, and not the server / gameplay as a whole and, of course, being asked to do UNFAIR things.
QuoteYes, my English is not very good, I'm struggling to formulate a sentence that would be understandable to everyone. But since other languages are forbidden here, I try.
Eu voi rămâne acelaşi CRYYY decât voi fi orb la unbalanced sau voi folosi un avantaj necinstit în favoarea mea. Dar, din moment ce nu pot schimba nimic, voi termina jocul meu în acest stadiu decât să joc mai departe știind că totul este în zadar.
I still don't understand (probably it is my problem), but anyway, Christmas is coming, we should all strive to be better as individuals, and I'm trying as well, so I'll pass this discussion that is out of the topic's subject.

1. if the characters received "transparency" as after being eliminated from the event and everyone started the race from 1 point it would be much fair
if you think pointing out problems is crying, I'd rather stay the same person than be blind, do something to my advantage or will playing without reason if nothing doesn't change .
1. I don't understand the part with 1 point, but the reworked Golden Race will feature random buffs/debuffs, NPCs as obstacles during race and more laps. This will make sure that it is just another fun & luck event, where everyone has equal chances.
There is a big difference between pointing out problems (WHICH WE BEG PEOPLE TO DO) and crying. And keep in mind that I wasn't the one calling you CRYYYYY instead of DIEEEEE, players did, this should say more than I should.
I also don't understand (the english meaning) of: "I'd rather stay the same person than be blind, do something to my advantage or will playing without reason if nothing doesn't change .".
6 hours ago, Juri said:Currently i think server is in a good state as it is. Only Rage Fighter seems to be a bit too powerful. I only have two things to add:
- on next edition don't prevent trading of rare items if there are such - this can be easly exploited via transfer character
- consider finally switching to some newer season? I think Season 8 could be a cool, some new things, but not like totally new, Season 6 feels kind of old when you consider there is already 15 seasons in mu and 16 is upcoming - here i think it's a good idea to create some kind of poll maybe if players actually want this
Well when there will be socket items JoC will have a little more purpose, so i think it's okay as it is.
But actually some auction house where people could bid themselves for any item put by players could be interesting idea. And not's so hard to do like:
When player adds a item to auction house he sets what he accepts like creds(maybe max 1000 here?)/chaos/bless/soul/harmony etc as well as how many credits he value each jevel. This way it can be easy calculated when people makes a bid. I think it would be cool idea to have as additional thing to market. Maybe cost a lot more zen, like 100-200kk(and increase it in case it's too low when server ages) so you don't put like some garbage items there.
Also good be a good for a economy, that players decide how much they want to pay for item.
I could write a separate suggestion topic if Staff would like to consider this idea.1. On next edition it won't be possible (again) to move them to vault. We gave the possibility to put them in vault last year because people wanted more space, but apparently people just look for abuses.
2. OldSquad will never be higher than Season 6. That's "OldSquad" about. But as I stated a lot until now, we will have in the close future a separate S15-S16 project for those that are interested in, separated from OldSquad.
There was an auction some time ago, but was removed, was very buggy, we don't plan for similar feature especially not on website.

Congratulations to Admin and his team for setting up the server. Everything is great for me.
I just wanted to suggest two things:
1st - It seems to me that the race should be removed from OGSM.
It is not normal for the same person to win a completely random contest again and agian and again.
2nd - I suggest you make something like an auction or a gambler for JoCreations. Atm JoC are useless and auction/gambler can help with economy.
PS: What u think to add 380 weap to drop from Selupan/Medusa with like 5% rate ?1 - It is a good point that we've thought about so far, that it should be just another "fun & luck" event like the rest. So we're currently turning it off as it will be reworked in the very close future into a new version that will feature such fun & luck characteristic.
2 - Not sure about it but if you have an idea of such implementation you can create a dedicated suggestion topic and we'll see if it can be done / it is worth being done.
PS - We're thinking about it, we'll see.

I don’t like exe drop mechanism from Boxes, ppls dress in 2op items in +- first stage and after goldens lost a lot of their value. IMHO better will be if all items will drop 100% with 1opt and luck and 1-5% without luck and 2opt . First set for example will give 10def, last set 200(if we talk about 30res)
Finally you can use your brain for constructive things apart from crying, nice.
I like this idea.
QuoteBosses HP bar will be nice if he will be hide, it's more interesting when u cant prognosis when Boss fall.
Also interesting point, thought it's either disabled for all monsters or for none, and I believe there are a lot of people that like to see HP bar of mobs outside of bosses.
-
Doppelganger is inteded to be like this because, compared to imperial which everyone should be able to finish it in a party, Doppelganger is an Event designed mostly for TOP guilds, which really need / use those consumables to min-max their performance on important events. So it's nice in our vision to be a bit more challenging than other events.
Though it may see a small nerf (10-15%) in terms of MOBS HP.
-
Unfortunately there won't be any webdev anytime soon except of minimal things.
Thanks for the time you've put for the suggestion though!
-

https://mega.nz/file/ckx3iAIS#TYBFR1Kf0bzTi0xMolH16TYWqJnYlLmN4DHTWEX-25c
-
Should be fixed as well to ask the correct stats, try again.
-
DS is designed to be a KS fight, not an "everyone has its guaranteed safe-afk spot for 20 minutes".
Its original iteration from Webzen didn't had any single "spot", everyone was ks-ing each other for the same amount of monsters. We did balanced it so there's both KS & personal spots. Nothing else will be changed there, it's a fight and an event in the end.
-
I may add a simulated PK level for that, we'll see on the next patches.
-
-
-
It is not technically possible to restore the SD.
But should be clear that you should always have some small sd pots on you if you want to fight with 100% sd, especially that you control when you start the challenge.
-
Rejected, newbies interested into *total fair* catch-up mechanic should wait & follow Wormhole.
We already do more than we should, for newbies, from all points of views (starting from exp boosts, restrictive pvp, non-pvp events, fairness gaps and so on).
Again, follow model next time.

IT is an event for everyone, and fenrir/stun is directly affecting the event mechanics.
Arena is an individual event where the work you've put for your character is reflected. Fenrir / stun (a.k.a ML) is part of character work, it is not going to be removed.
