ADMIN

I like to see people involved in discussions, but you should know that this things are counted just as feedback. We are never touching characters during an ongoing edition. Everyone wants its character to be the best, of course, and if possible at any stage of the game. That will never happen and it's not even possible from technical point of view. Every character is designed differently, having its own strengths and weaknesses depending on build, gear, stage of the game, event, and even the player itself. We are developing and tweaking characters of this game for more than 3 years, adjusting formulas, damages, pvp, class vs class rates, etc. The default state of the characters (Webzen) was just a joke. But again, despite our continuous efforts it will never reach a "perfect state", it's simply not possible. You're expecting too much from such a game, if you want 100% PvP MU is not the game for that, if we think at a larger scale, not even a game like WoW is 100% on PvP (neither PvM), where differences between classes, characters and specs are huge, favoring only some of them at different things. But, just like in WoW where a Hunter (in an easy way) can make almost double DPS at PvM compared to many of other classes, the rest of them brings something different to table on each situation. The same idea we brought for MU to have an 'overall balance' apart from class vs class things, where BALANCE doesn't mean a class is not better than the other BUT all classes are more or less equal and BRINGS different things at different moments/situations. If we just browse all the existing tops from Phoenix we'll see all classes in the top at most of the things, ofc, some better at some points and it's not an 100% accurate view because most of the tops depends on the player (and how active he is). If we look at some (considered by public) good players from our server they can all make their class look OP in different situations, examples can be Zutto for BK, Catarina for SUM, Ganja for AE, Coco for SM, DIEE for SMG, etc. Are all characters playable at a decent level? Yes, they are. Are there better chars than others? Yes, they are, at different stages and at different things. Do some characters have specific tricks that can be "abused" by their class? Yes, they have (Ice arrow, Weapon skill for bosses, etc.) Is their right to use them and profit by being smart and knowing their class as it was designed by the Webzen, in the first place, without our direct impact? Yes, it's their right, as long as the impact is purely for their own interest without disturbing important things (IT, for example). Apart from doing everything we can to ensure a fair environment to all the characters as much as we consider, we will never rework entire game or all the tricks and things that game does offer just to satisfy different individuals. We are running on the same core since 3 years, many of you played here multiple editions and already knew how most of the things work (or not). Everything we do is well documented pre-launch as well as post-launch. You had all the formulas (and even personal tips) of all the characters available before server launch. You had beta period as well as a permanent test-server pre and post-launch to test all characters and builds you want on any situation and gear/resets/builds. You even had 4 resets to change your class if you didn't like it. Coming here and crying about your own character or other's character is not making you look good, taking into account all the things you had in your asset to choose your character carefully. As a conclusion we'll always adjust characters and things we consider that can be improved based on feedback, but never during an ongoing edition (and I'm speaking strictly about individual characters power/assets). Cheers.

It's pretty clear what the participants want. Starting from this weekend, the CS date & hour will be Sunday, 19:00. Also, the Bonus System for Saturday & Sunday will be updated to match the new change: - Saturday will start at 18:00. - Sunday will start at 16:30. Cheers!

Hello, 1 month and a half has passed since last CS vote, things changed meanwhile and we mostly have only 2 participants at CS, and as they both proposed a new poll I can do nothing but accept their request, as they're basically the only ones affected by CS hour. You can vote in this poll if you want to keep the CS date/hour as it is or if you want it to be on Sunday (with its hours, as a 2nd vote if you vote for Sunday). In order for the poll to be accepted and something to be changed there are 2 requirements: 1. Minimum 40 unique players to take part in the poll. 2. Minimum 60% of votes for an option (I'll count actual participants vote much more than normal users). If any of this 2 rules fails at the end of the poll, nothing will be changed. NOTE: If you vote for Sunday, please vote for the hour options as well (if you vote for Saturday, you don't have to vote for hours at all). The poll starts from now and will end on Thursday at 23:00. If there will be any changes will be alive starting from this CS. Cheers!

Yesterday I've added a new rule that sessions must have the same IP with the one that was logged in. That means if you log in from IP A and during navigation your IP change to B, it will log you out. It should totally get rid of this problem so I am waiting your feedback if you still encounter such session mix (with or without thiefs). Cheers.

Nice description Looks promising, looking forward to see your guild evolution on our server(s). Good luck with it!

Welcome and enjoy your time!

You have everything back. You have everything back. Your thiefs are banned and are at your own mercy if you want to forgive them.

Legion also came with an idea of a system (that I won't present now), and you also came with some points of view. Depending on how much from things are possible and what exactly will be possible for me to do I'll try to combine all of your ideas into a new pvp feature that will encourage pvp without hurting non pvp-ers. If / when / how, no clue to answer, but not too soon in any cases, we still have some other things on list and my time is very limited this month.

Idk what to say, when I was doing it for test I always had at least 1 boss during event (can't remember the level of event). I really don't know what's exactly behind this event as I never played it when I was still a player, and entered it only for tests here. You can try it on test server and see about it if you want to.

Hello, unfortunately our client is not compatible with windows xp. About the detection, it's 18/65 and those 18 being mostly anonymous av companies. It's a false positive that was only submitted for review on popular AV's, if you use one of those 18 you can submit it yourself and you'll get confirmation from them that is clear.

@BonKoe You have everything back (on jewel wallet and vault). @idanwein Your accounts are blocked, if @BonKoe decides to forgive you I'll unban your accounts though, but not without deleting what you got. You've been returned as well and you have more details on PM.

Because the people that keeps servers alive are the newcomers. We know what 80% of people did on previous system, whenever seeing a lowbie trying to kill his golden just waited them and killed them to take their reward. This is how you motivate them to stay and play? By killing without them having a chance to respond? Ugly. Invasions system will never change, no matter how much 'pros' cry about, you're not the only people that matters in a community.

Hello, Nobody guessed your passwords, both you and trau had the sessions mixed when logged in, the accounts you saw when you logged in were the acc's of the guys that robbed you, you got mixed on them and vice-versa. We couldn't reproduce that mix thing but we had applied extra patches to prevent it (if some1 still has the problem let us know). You won't lose anything, I'll return what was taken from you (personally, if ppl won't return them theirselves). I'll give them 15h from now to give what they robbed back, after that I'll parse all logs and block the accounts and ip's of ppl that didn't returned the things. Robbers includes Donna, Bonito, Shield etc. (they know better what they did)

You're getting toxier day by day, watch your language and attacks, we're not your slaves. Want to stay 24/7 AFK go in non-pvp maps and let others have fun.

That's a detail that we will speak about later. The system can be larger to allow 'fight-backs', like ppl on list will receive notifications and if they kill the player that comes for them they may receive a smaller reward while canceling the mercenary quest (fail).

Hello, @Gion came with a nice idea (at least in my opinion) about a new feature to encourage more PvP between players. Basically, to introduce a mercenary NPC, that will give you a 'quest' when you speak with it, and will assign you 3-5 number of online players in your level range. If you succeed to kill all the names in a defined period of time you'll get a reward. If you fail, nothing will happen. The quest will be reset 1 or 2 times per day, and will also have some limitations and rules (but we can speak more about them if you like the idea). What do you think about such feature? It comes with benefits like: - Encouraging PvP. - Reducing AFK due to AFK-stress if you're on ppl 'black list'. - Creating competition, maybe even a rank for mercenaries. So, let us know what do you think and if it's worth to work on such feature or not (you can also come with your own suggestions related to it, we'll take them into consideration). Cheers.

Hello OldSquaders, Based on this topic: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3158-tanong-lang we started to think about options to help those 'far from server' people to reduce their ping in order to have a better experience here.

Nobody does receive special treatment.

The only reason why we would ever touch a disconnect warn is if we find out that the anti-hack caused it, which is not your case unfortunately. Ah, and to answer you, if you lose your internet for few seconds and you are on multiple chars, only 1/2 will disconnect-reconnect, the other will stay just 'lagged' and get back without disconnect/reconnect.

Just a completion, why do you think there is a set LIMIT on Credits for market? Because we don't support neither encourage higher item trades for credits. If you do so and 'cheat' our limit, you do it on your own risk and responsibility without any support if things go bad for you, the 'high credits' buyer.

It's an old 'problem' that was never fixed by the devs, neither found the root of it, so we threat it as a 'feature'. If you're lucky you can have double drop from invasions, it's not a common thing but it is happening from time to time.

Maintenance over! All servers are back up. Thanks for your patience!

Hello, We didn't made any maintenance since almost 2 months ago (so you don't experience downtimes). But, unfortunately, it is needed from time to time to make sure everything is updated and to offer a smooth experience. We planned to make the maintenance tomorrow, with it being announce with ~12 hours before, but we were forced to make it now, due to the instability that was created already and as you noticed, lags and delays on game, which we can't let them for 1 more day. Due to this, all of our servers are now under global maintenance, and they will be back up asap (ETA is 30-60 minutes, but it can take more, depending on how the progress goes). After the maintenance is over, the latest Patch for Phoenix will also be applied, that will be posted after we're done. Cheers!

Definitely cursed, I've seen a lot of guilds in the last 3 years falling apart after losing the CS , which is pretty sad.

As I see invasion was over when you killed it, drop is spawned after 1~3 secs from the kill, if the invasion is over before the drop (but after the kill), mob is directly deleted from server so no drop can be generated as the index of mob does no longer exists. I've added your bok3 in vault.
