A controversial episode with spectacular upheavals took place last Sunday in the battle for Phoenix's Supremacy. 
OneSteppy, guild that held the supremacy of the server for its first time, a guild that seems to be growing and that is focusing on recruiting all active players, (they manage to recruit people even from Hardcore last week), prepare the defense, managing to gather a large number of players, organizing about 4 parties. Some "voices" told me that they were 21 players but 3 of them were afk, most of the time.  
On the other side, Hardcore, the guild that dominated this data base winning most of the battles for Supremacy, starts as attackers. Fewer and weaker than ever, they barely managed to gather only 10 or 11 warriors, ("voices" told me that at the start of the battle. They were only 9 at that moment) and give the impression of throwing themselves blindly in a battle without odds for win.
The fight begins, Hardcore "unleashed" the attack, a pale attack, an attack in which they are massacred inside the castle, but they do not seem affected at all and continue, they manage to register several times and make some points.. The only warrior who seem to shine, from Hardcore, is "The magnificent" Crucify who knocks down everyone in his path including BedeJutro who was slayed 2-3 times by him. But everything seems lost for Hardcore, mafy dies continuously every time he gets near the crown and tries to register, we approach the last half hour and the ones from OneSteppy are almost preparing to celebrate a new victory. Tokyo "The Slayer", Voymax "The Brave" and "The Lethal"  Incubus  were the protagonists of this massacre, making rivers of blood flow in the throne room , and it seems like the easiest victory is already there for them because everything seems to be played, they lead with a huge difference points, at 18:22 the score was 10594 vs 3484 in their favor.
Hardcore manage to record and this is the moment when the people from RISE decide to take part in the battle, and, man.. they did it, but they didn't attack to win points or to try to conquer the throne. Driven by anger and hatred they take part in this fight just to hit the OneSteppy guild, so they join on Hardcore side and starts helping them by preventing  OneSteppy from registering. We enter the last half of hour and OneSteppy starts to lose precious points, they try to stay in the lead of the fight by making multiple kills and trying to move RISE warriors from  switches, but they fall in to the dark and  after they were on the wave believing that nothing can stop them from keeping the castle for another week, they start to feel helpless, because the victory starts to be threatened.. The time passes, they struggle, they try but they seem lost, confused, watching, as the time goes by, how the huge difference of points they had is getting smaller and smaller, the crown on BedeJutro's head starts to shake. 
Time flies and eventually Hardcore wins an unexpected battle with the help that some of the guild members did not want, because in past they lost the castle weeks in a row in exactly the same way, even if they dominated the fights back then, they were defeated by dirty anti-games and unfair-play strategies, they won this fight and put the crown back on mafy's head but this time the crown looks stained with dirty blood, an unexpected victory won without being fully deserved.

This week I asked here and there about what happened. What made these warriors, who in the past fought on the same side, in the same guild, hate each other so much now? The first answers came from Snook and I will write down a part of the small discussion with him bellow :
Reporter: " Hello! What really happened between you, guys, and OneSteppy? How did you end up here as "the worst enemies" ?" 
Snook : "Hello! Well, I like to think that we are the "worst enemies" because we are really good at what we're doing , especially when someone's pissing us off. What happened is that we didn't want to play with guys that think they are good when the competition is done. Stepy is a guild wihthout any principles or character." 
Reporter: "Are they worst than Hardcore?"
Snook : "Well, you can’t really compare a guild with history on the server with a mixture of random players, even though so many from HC stopped playing, also I'm pretty sure some were happy that I did  , while others probably hated it completely. We didn't do it for them "
I went forward with investigation and asked ncux from OneSteppy about their point of view : 
ncux :" Snook was in our guild with Venom, and he was afk all the time, focusing only for lvling up, we were always asking for his help during the fights for bosses like Selupan or Medusa and he never came, Tokyo and others started a conversation about why we need those kind of players in guild, who just ask for items but never helps, so Snook left and he asked all ppl who wants to join his new guild so Waste, DarknesSBK and FKinGCunT left following him, mostly because now they are fully geared and they do not want to help low lvl guys from our guild. They are led by the principle " when you are strong you want to be in a top guild but you don't care about the newbie members" "  
At the beginning of this week, another important moment was the start of a war between OneSteppy and Hardcore, a war that seems to never end and that makes the safe zones from Vulcanus or Swamp to become more populated than ever, a war that hold the time in one place for these guilds because they hunt each other day and night, and if some of the players try to take refuge, going afk through safe locations they are chased by enemies and if they can't be killed, secondary characters are left on them to slow their exp down.
 
As I write this article I see some guilds that have already registered Sign of lord, is it an attempt of Hardcore or Rise to prevent OneSteppy from taking part in the fight on Sunday?
Will OneSteppy have the strength to return to the battle? Will they accumulate enough points to be able to participate?(it is already Friday and they can register only tomorrow but they cannot add Signs of Lord anymore)
 

It's been two weeks since the last episode of the great war for the supremacy of Phoenix was written.
Hardcore, after defeating Squadron in the last battle, managed to win the battle that followed, defeating OneSteppy  (a new guild  made by former Squadron members who started collecting all the active warriors on the server), so, the Hardcore ones won by a difference of about 2k points, although OneSteppy warriors did well on the battlefield and managed to consolidate their strategies, however it is a new guild with new players, it takes time to consolidate the roles of each player and to build a solid team that would put Hardcore in trouble.
Time passed, the fights for the Big Bosses given in these two weeks were divided, in the mornings the ones from Hardcore managed to defeat most of these bosses (because they didn't have opponents), but in the evening the ones from OneSteppy dominated most of those fights. Sunday finally came and a new battle was preparing to be written with a lot of blood in the pages of Phoenix's history by these brave warriors.
Hardcore, in the position of server leaders, although they suffered stinging defeats at Medusa or Selupan, and even if they seemed dejected all week, they begin to gather their active warriors and form parties, they bring inside the castle about 15  fighters and prepare the defensive. They do not seem to be interested in upgrading gates or statues (later, I found out the reason, in the last fights they were demolished before the first 15 minutes so their upgrade would have been useless because only after the first 15 minutes of the game holding the castle matters).
On the other side, the ones from OneSteppy, having the boosted moral given by the small victories accumulated during the week, are preparing the attack, again, without using any strategy that would imply blocking a build, but still having an advantage of 2000 points, and very good morale, unleashes the attack. It's a balanced fight, it's like a clash of two tornadoes, both guilds give their best, the crown switches from mafy's head to BedeJutro's every 5 minutes. Both guilds are focusing only on the attack, and they don't seem to concentrate enough in defense, that's how the minutes go and everything is balanced, although the middle of the battle seems to be dominated by those in OneSteppy who manage to kill mafy many times, thus gaining precious points. Towards the end of the game, the people from Hardcore seem more lucid and start to gain ground .. but not enough to win. 
Related to Squadron, not all the active players moved to OneSteppy, some of them made a new guild called Raise and I saw last days some of them helping Hardcore on bosses, even though everything seemed ok inside the Squadron, it seems that different interests and quarrels made these players split into these two guilds. Although we saw RISE players last two weeks helping OneSteppy, last week those brave warriors won by their own forces . Surely time will tell us the answers to these questions that arise after these moves on the chessboard of Phoenix leaders  :
Will the RISE guild decide to attack the castle independently? Will they build a guild that is competitive?
Will the OneSteppy guild receive support from their former comrades?
Will Hardcore be able to return to supremacy? (if it wasn't the 2000 point penalty they would win but with a small difference of points)
As I did on last article, I will end the article with the top 10 best killers of the week, led by Tokyo, the M.V.P of the last Castle Siege,  and the achievements of the 2 guild masters mafy and BedeJutro the newest leader of the server.

Updated! RISE members did not helped OneSteppy last Sunday! Ty Hvman for clearing it up!

Don't worry, nothing is gonna change  

I listen a lot of time what you dont wanna change the balance, but mb wu will change your mind about that ?
For example CS, is map where rly can kill just vRF and eSumoner, rest of classes is just useless. 
SM with 1500 vit and 100 agi is unkillable, DL same
BK max hit is 1500 with any stats
 sMG , eMG is something medium, but in any case can't make nothing.
Defence, DSR from agi doesn't work, its a reason why all tanks put max vit and agi for set.
RF take 1.2-1.5 DMG more whan rest but have 6-7-8k HP (rest have ~2, 2.5, 3) but can kill every one (excemp mb full vit SM with eRF or eBK buff)
Sum have High kill potential with medium resistance
sMG have medium to low kill potential with medium resistance
eMG have medium to high kill potential with low to medium resistance
sBK/aBK have low to medium kill potential and u need to rly luck to kill someone.
eSM/sDL no have kill potential
Elf = Support.
I understand what u have another vision of game, but try to think like a player, all want to make something, not just press Q and click on swith or spam Earthshake
Why ppls leave so early ? why Elf is the most unpopular character ? why from start we have a lot of sMG but on middle of game we have just 4-5? 
Mb 2 days PvP/PvE balance before start this is not enough ? and a lot waste time for Soccer event and in final fail its better ? 
 
@ADMIN @Gion

RF is so bad, we should buff it. 

Guys AE is best hunter, ADMIN have right here   If u can position well no1 can ks u

I don't get why you would make a character deliberately bad at PvP(which is, by most accounts, the most fun part of the game). Obviously, no matter what you do, some characters will always be better at some things than others, but you should strive to make them as balanced as possible. Making a character bad at PvP by design just seems weird.
Also, you could argue that a character being ass at PvP indirectly also affects its ability to hunt, since in PvP invasions, you will need to fight for the golden a good 25% of the time you find one.

AE beat the DL in Golden?
I guess it says "ADMIN" and i have to buy that... cause i've tested it myself, exactly dl vs elf, items and everything. 2 Persons, 5 rows of goldens, he beat me every time, on the golden. Around same items/sets and he beat me 5 out of 5. Nvm, the pvm buff it s well received, thank you sir.
 
Elves have 300 useless energy points, and have to potentially waste 20 MLVLs due to maybe one day, having to play EEbuff at CS. I don't get it, you removed EE buf from live, but someone still needs to either "create an alt elf" or just waste 20MLVL on buffs if it's main like i am. I do not understand this at all.
P.S. Sorry, but i really wanted to play AE but there elves number is so low

+1

We may add another NPC in one of the other maps.

@RuSuLeTzZz 
I promised you I would show you our last cc.
Since some of you got doubt about me, thinking i use macros and what not  I started to record all cs/cc.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz02FtKf_8U
All I see is a Diablo flying all over at 1.40.
does that mean Diablo is using .exe :)? No it means muonline is 20 years old and visual bugs are here to stay(he was most likely next to me)
 
Macro king out.
 

How and what exactly you have owned? Mafy died (I can't count the times even), your whole team get rapped and we registered always under 5 minutes (except one time where you handle the crown for around 7 min?). The only thing you did is to kill people but you did it chaotically - 0 focus, 0 tactic -> you were just raped literally. Oh I almost forgot, there is also one thing you are good at - crying all over about that ".exe" thingy which makes you poor. What we can call you all? A donators? You can't play this game without donating HUGE amount of money  And sell the best stuff outside the guild? Enjoy being on the losing side forever, crap guild

cringe as hell , making me cut my self after i read that rusu is top player 😂

the player that changes race 3 4 times every edition cause sucks whit all and copy paste all items / builds from everyone to try do something xdd

worst interview i ever read

Im telling this for 1 month and Gion says "Go test server and check it" like i am admin.

You know that this is easily checkable on your test server and many people already tested it, right?

I would understand writing something like this if no test server, because then people can't test stuff, but i have friends who already tested many characters etc with different build and mg is just better, even in mid-late game.

Fix please drop ingredients in BC/DS/ and mobs. For example in BC 6 dropped DS 2-3, BC 4-5, IT 3-4.
From monsters of the same level fall different levels of ingredients, in volcano with 110 LVL mobs drop BC 7 and 8, etc.

There are 10 mg among the top 20 CS killers and 6 mg among top 10. Very balance indeed.

"Balanced" ae with +12+dd set w2+12 dies to MG with w1 doesn't matter STR or ENE.

alot have already been mentioned. but these are a few things that comes to mind.
 
Castle Siege should have more ''stages'' when the server progress, to keep motivation up. maybe something like a weekly rotation on drops on erohim, so lets say on cs week 9 he has chance to drop xxx but only one kill per week, and make him actually feel like a boss Remove Jewels from OB +5 but reduce chance for ob +5 to drop Remove Horn/mats for fenrir from ob 3/4  Crywolf is a dead map, bring back fenrir farm(with decent drop rate) Let people with murder status enter events like cc etc. Class vs Class duels or stage Arena. you fight random opponent and if you win you move on to next round Helpers, where did they go? should have been added long ago to help newbies Economy: Way to many jewels around, when people offer 500/500 for items its getting abit to much. Remove spots with Hydra,Ice Queen,Gorgon, Bil of balrog etc, and make them have a chance for exc drop as they have on newer  versions(respawn time high and random) perfect for newbies to stumble onto and reciving their first exc. Make RF.,MG,DL same lvl for warp/events like other classes Increase days Vip last or release one that last longer. On battle maps let us pk same gens during events(Medusa,queen) (Murder status ) Increase points for CC win. a win should always give more score then just farming mobs in my opinion. Increase cs damage for later game, at current stage I think all can agree its like a wet noodle contest. Budges in more maps(not more budges, just more maps to spawn in) Make Imperial alot harder, should need a decent party, not filling slots with alts Remove Fenrir/Unria/Dinorant from Arena

I'm not underestimating any work that has been done to configure this server. This has been the most balanced project I've seen ever since I joined the first edition of non reset. Your attitude towards the topic seems to be the problem if you look at this as trash talking. I have done my very best to give reasoning behind every subject I've touched here. No changes has to be made nor will ever take place unless admin thinks there's a need for them, but trying to shut down any constructive discussion about the balancing issues from our perspective is pretty naive in my opinion. Nothing is perfect and never will be, but there is always room for some improvement.

e: 
Because it's a class that's designed for PvM play style, and the reason they gave her an ability to stun people is to deny anyone who tries to attack her. No other skill even remotely fits the same category with broken and ice arrow. Still, on this server, AE is equally strong in PvP with any other class, and in Chaos Castle, it has very little to do with PvP while she just abuses the skill without actually killing you - she locks you down and makes you fall and there is nothing you can do about it. If you are able to explain to me why she should have ice arrow in cc, with the current effect duration, I'm ready to take back everything I have said. But before you do that, I'll consider your post yet another "trash talk"-opinion, and it has very little value for sorting out this situation. 

There has been a bit of discussion about these topics, some in public and some between smaller group of players. In my opinion these things, as they are now, push the game into unhealthy state, and some improvements could be done to improve to overall balance of game play. I'm not gonna go too in depth with explanations, and I don't want to push any changes unless majority thinks the same, but these are my thoughts from a players perspective.

Chaos Castle and Ice Arrow skill has had a lot of attention recently. I try to play every cc daily and from experience I can say that regardless of winning or losing, it's just not fun to play against. And from what I have understood, the server aims to give a fair chance for any class on anything they do (with some variety of course), but playing against Ice Arrow in cc is nowhere near 50/50, tops 80/20 I would say.

Damage Decrease (+dd) is another thing that bothers me. Maybe it's just because I play MG and DD counters my ass big time, but still I think that having the option to gain 60% of the damage dealt to you decreased by excellent/harmony options is just way too much. To put it another way, this makes it very inefficient to build your character to deal tons of damage since most of it is going to get absorbed, and it heavily favors agi/speed based builds. Of course there has to be a way to counter high damage dealers, and in my opinion 40% dd would do that just fine. It would also leave more room for +ref and +hp builds, as for now those seems to always be the secondary options.
You should be able to build unique stats for your character according what you want to use the character for, and there should me multiple sets to choose from to support these builds. Now easily over 50% of the players, no matter the build and usage of the character, just simply has to wear +dd set because it's so over tuned compared to other options available.

Only problem with Soul Barrier is that you don't have to go for agi build, so called support sm, in order to gain efficient shield to play with. Basic value for barrier is 6%, with 20 ML points you gain additional 13% increase, with current agility formula(agility/62) you easily gain another 10%. That's already 29% absorb without even thinking about if you want to play as a supporter or heavy damage dealer. With 620 agility, you should be easily able to get ~1500 energy, which gives you 6% additional barrier. That is total of 35% absorb with a simple build that also gives you decent killing potential since the formula for max damage is ene/2. My point is that with the current ratios, there is literally no reason to aim for the supportive build since ++30% shield is so easily achievable without hurting your damaging abilities.

If you don't agree with my lines I'd like to hear your point of view, but mostly I'd just like to see you voting so that we can hear the voice of many. Peace. 

Hello guys.. I think ice arrow skill should be 50% for many reasons...I think the ae`s abuse to much that skill and even if they don`t deal any dmg they will drop you.
About DD I think should be between 40 % and 50% ..Chars are getting 2 much tanky and so of the chars are getting op with full set ddi(see SM/AE`s) .
About soul barrier I think its insane for a Sm to be in the same time Tank and killer.
I`m playing Str DL with 2k str (Set mixed ref/hp/dd+ddi)and I can`t even touch an SM or and AE.. and I get killed pretty easy.I think the DL dmg it`s pretty low this DB.
I think that we should think about having only guilds not Alliances as seems that almost all the players went to one Alliance and the CS its getting boring. I think a guild with 35 people will be ideal.
About summoner people said that it is overpowered ...Can be..with the right set...but the summoner have low def. witch its fair...comparing with others chars as SM/AE. (they got 2 much power and def in the same time)
Have A good day and enjoy. LoveLetter

Hello Eveybody
There is the most annoying thing in game is pk counts... 
Most of us like pvp, but dam this pk count doesn't let to get them as much as we want;D...
For example k3 event... there is pvp event... but if u do couple pk and have to spend whole day to "sit" somewhere...
So i suggest do Pkclear command.
Ofc put cost on that like zen payment. 50kk or more. That much zen really hurts our pockets. So we will pk with thinking about it...
 
Thanks,
SupremeElf
