Splinter of Armor, Bless of Guardian & Claw of Beast (fenrir mats) can be farmed from BoK+4 Goldens, BoK+5 Goldens & Doppelganger. Outside of Early Old Box, Loch Feather & Monarch Crest can be farmed from Cursed Dragon, IT1, IT2.

Now if you join the IT Queue, if you're not selected for priority you won't get back your IT ticket, basically it will be consumed for the chance for priority. -
Alex. reacted to ADMIN in Announcing Phoenix #4 - Bring the Light!
Hello OldSquaders,
Even though it is still kind of cold outside, our Phoenix is ready to bring you some warmth!
We're ready to announce the opening of the #4 Edition of Project Phoenix - with a totally reworked gameplay.
Grand Opening: 25 March at 19:00 GMT+2 (Mobs will spawn at 20:00 GMT+2).
Phoenix has been through multiple concepts reworks since it was born, none of them totally satisfied us, so we've brought our A game and redesigned it once again.
I'll highlight in short some of the changes that you'll find on this edition, and the rest of them can be found in our official info topic(s):
We want to highlight the biggest gameplay change that Phoenix has, as always you can consult our official information topic for everything you need to know:
Phoenix is now a fully non-reset server (resets were removed). 3 Game periods: Hard, Mid & Soft and 3 reworked Breaks. Way slower level 1-400 progression. Limit on ML that can be raised by doing quests at level 400. Extra stat points & DMG/DEF/HP bonuses gained from quests. Full info can be read on Official Info Topic -> Gameplay Info as well as Progression System. The initially announced gameplay rework can also be read here: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/4795-phoenix-early-look-at-the-new-concept/ Castle Siege V3 - main things: Ally can now join CS as well with same rights. There is a maximum amount of players per ally that can be at CS. 2 new objectives during CS: Statues & Gigas Golem. Summoner sleep will prevent any damage on the affected players. Lots of balance changes. Full info can be read on Official Info Topic -> Castle Siege System V3. Initially announced CS rework can also be read here: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/4786-introducing-cs-v3-the-next-level/ Old Box System V2 - main things: Only 3 boxes now. Only relevant rewards for Early, Mid, Late game, based on box. There's a new Mix that you can use to combine lower boxes into higher boxes. They can be found on most events now. Full info can be read on Official Info Topic -> Old Box System V2. Big Economy rework - main things: Boxes of Kundun rework. Big nerfs towards ALT farm. New mixes. Reworked Wings Level 4 Mixes. + many more. Full info can be read on Official Info Topic -> across multiple sections. Initially announced economy rework can also be read here: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/4801-phoenix-early-look-at-the-big-economy-rework/ New jewel: Old Jewel. Info can be read on Official Info Topic -> Special / Hot Features that you should know. Fruits Extra Stats - if you reach maximum amount of Points from Creation Fruits you'll receive extra 150 points to spend. Some of the other changes worth mentioning (and there are way more that you can find by exploring our Info Topic):
Wings level 4 will always come with both exc options. Wizard Ring & Moonstone Ring are now tradeable. Added /resetwings command It will reset (remove) the life option from the currently equipped wings. The wings will be placed back in your inventory (you need to have space for them). The cost for the command is 300 credits & 150kk Zen. Removed Quiz Event. Removed Illusion of Kundun. Icarus is now a normal levelling map. IT System is now the same as on Inception (can join any IT, you need IT ticket, there's IT Queue, etc.) Gamble now has a 2kk Zen tax for both players involved. Bonus System now starts at 17:35 and 08:35 and at 20:35 on Sunday. SM Teleport is now disabled in Dungeon. Rageful Blow is no longer part of combo - it is now the main BK PvM skill. Dark Side no longer require level 180, it now requires 423 Agility. Note: Even if the parchment will show with red when you don't have enough stats, you'll still be able to learn it without the needed stats - BUT IT WON'T WORK (DO DAMAGE) until you have the required stats. Dragon Roar no longer require level 150, it now requires 378 Energy. Chain Drive no longer require level 150, it now requires 519 Vitality. Note: Even if the parchment will show with red when you don't have enough stats, you'll still be able to learn it without the stats needed - BUT IT WON'T WORK (DO DAMAGE) until you have the required stats. Rageful Blow no longer require level 170 and Blade Knight class, it now require 513 STR and Dark Knight class. Death Stab no longer require level 160 and blade knight class, it now requires 452 STR and Dark Knight class. Twisting Slash no longer require level 80, it now requires 207 STR. Greater Fortitude no longer require level 120, it now requires 154 ENE. Ignore Defense no longer require level 120. Increase Block no longer require level 50, it now requires 264 ENE. Increase Health no longer require level 80, it now requires 370 ENE. Reset Fruits can now be farmed from Rabbits & Doppelganger (only). Splinter of Armor, Bless of Guardian & Claw of Beast (fenrir mats) can be farmed from BoK+4 Goldens, BoK+5 Goldens & Doppelganger. Outside of Early Old Box, Loch Feather & Monarch Crest can be farmed from Cursed Dragon, IT1, IT2. Outside of Mid Old Box, Condor Flame can be farmed from Balgass, IT3, IT4, IT5 & Mercenary Bounty Advanced. Now if you join the IT Queue, if you're not selected for priority you won't get back your IT ticket, basically it will be consumed for the chance for priority. And lots of smaller changes (mix chances, rates, etc.) that can either be found on the updated Official Topic or directly in game. More than that, Phoenix #4 is also featuring most of the improvements, fixes & features that were worked on Inception in the last 6 months (and there are hundreds), adapted for Phoenix.
While most of the information is updated, there are still things left to be added to the info as well as maybe few changes before the Phoenix actually starts (or before that specific content is released in game).
Prepare yourselves for another great journey brought to you by OldSquad Community!
Official Info Topic: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/2884-phoenix-official-information-everything-you-need-to-know/
Official discussions topic for Phoenix #4:
Test-Server for Phoenix will be opened to public somewhere between Sunday & Monday!

Alex. got a reaction from Gion in Blood Castle - happy hour
As in the title, i would like to suggest removing happy hour from blood castles or make XP higher in all blood castles, to match the one in happy hour.
Why?
- it creates drama between party members
- it 'forces' you to do bc during HH to stay in top
- it 'forces' all 5 members to be online at those hours, otherwise using teamviewer to add a party member inside doesn't work, because you don't have time to take ur char and the oter one inside
- it advantages ppl with better PC, because they have better FPS and can click faster to get inside

Is there a possibility to use Right mouse click to move items in and out from chaos machine?

Alex. reacted to ADMIN in Introducing CS V3 - The next level
Well, EEs will still remain as the only real buffers, where the more energy = the more buff, without any limit.
So in case the AE is banned, all guilds will play only with EEs, not with EEs + AEs.
Later Edit: To make it more clear, the only buffer builds that will be affected by the future changes will be EBK & ERF, since this are the only 2 boring buffer builds to play. ESMs are still good in terms of damage / impact outside of Mana Shield and the EE will always remain as a buffer class for CS, that needs more activity & management compared to EBK/ERF that only gets in range, press 1 button and then leave range.

Alex. got a reaction from Endorphin in Introducing CS V3 - The next level
The handicap is increased though now. I can't imagine 2 guilds fightning each other less preditable than 4 or more guilds fighting each other.
I'm more worried about the numbers, not the statue or the golem. I would not like to see the server divided in two. We already have gens for that.
Also, with smaller numbers we need to be more tactical about it. We need to coordinate better who goes to the switches,crown,golem,statue etc. Kills would defently matter less. I can imagine it would be easier for better organised guilds to have a chance at winning.

Alex. reacted to ADMIN in Introducing CS V3 - The next level
I'm not quite sure what you didn't understand, I specified yesterday that I agree that 40 players would be too frustrating / hard to coordonate, and that I didn't thought about this aspect.
Later Edit: And also, if I didn't wrote yet about the changes doesn't mean I don't listen to the arguments and feedback, this are the planned changes before the actual release and before seeing the event live:

I would like to play cs v2 system in 15 players / guild or ally. Thats means we will make more guilds to participate and hopefully will be more fun. With this number even best guild will have problems trying to win the crown against 3 other alliances. Playing v3 system in 40 ppl will be a mess or will be a easy job for the guild that recruit the best players. We need to teach a gm to stay on the specific coordonates to gain 1 more point/sec and you want to play a so difficult cs?!😅 I agree with many things writed above me, but we see you're implicated and we like that.

Alex. reacted to ADMIN in Introducing CS V3 - The next level
Hello,
While our unique CS V2 fixed the most important CS problem - being decided in last minutes, on the default CS system - we decided that it is time to step up our most important Event and make it even more interesting, balanced as well, as less predictable as possible and with a lot of new possible strategies.
This is one of the major reworks that will be found on our next Phoenix project, but it should be ready & available on Inception as well starting from next CS (27 February).
We're doing our best to test everything by ourselves (me & Gion), but we will need actual, real-game tests in order to tweak it up and fix any possible bugs.
Note: We're waiting feedback & open discussions of anything that you can find in our CS V3, but the more accurate feedback should be waited after playing it.
CS System V3
Guilds, Alliances, Handicap & Requirements
[UPDATED] Guild System: Maximum of 30 players in a Guild (static). Now Alliance members can join the CS as well. At CS you can only have 40 (online) players per alliance (so 40/60 from total slots in an alliance). You must have at least 10 players from the main guild online at CS in order to play the CS. There are 2 modes of the limit at CS, that each alliance GM can decide: Free Mode - it is the default mode - this means that any 40 players can be online on CS server anytime, during CS, without restrictions. How does it work? When the 40th player enters the Valley, any extra player (41th, for example) will be moved to Crywolf, when trying to enter the Valley. When there are 39 players in Valley, an empty slot is once again free for another extra player, and so on. Note: The priority for staying in Valley when there are more than 40 players is based on the order of /rebuilds. Example: ADMIN is 1st that did rebuild, Gion is 2nd that did rebuild, Marcel is 3rd that did rebuild. If there are < 40 players on Valley, all 3 can stay in Valley. If there are 40 players already in Valley and ADMIN is not but Marcel is, if ADMIN joins Valley then Marcel is being kicked from Valley and ADMIN can stay. Limited Mode - this means that there's a list controlled by alliance GM with the players who do not have access to CS (any player other than the players from this list can join the CS). GM can add/remove players to/from the list anytime before 15 minutes from start & during CS. Note: GM can use the command /blacklist PlayerName in order to blacklist a player from the CS. Note2: GM can use the command /delblacklist PlayerName in order to remove a player from blacklist. Note3: Few seconds after blacklisting a player, if he is online in valley he will be moved to crywolf and prevented from joining Valley. [UPDATED] Handicap now has only 3 stages: Easy - 2nd CS after winning the CS: -2500 Points. Medium - 3rd CS after winning 2 CS in a row: -6000 Points. Hard - 4th CS after winning 3 CS in a row and onwards: -10000 Points. Note: With these changes we aim to make it way harder for Alliances to win CS multiple times in a row. Until now Handicap wasn't that harsh and didn't help too much outside of the last Handicap stage (after 5 Sieges in a row). [UPDATED] Repairing & upgrading CS objects (gates, statues) can grant you up to 20% points from the Handicap. [UPDATED] After winning a Castle Siege, the players that were part of the CS (used /rebuild) and part of the winning alliance can only join the next CS with their winning Alliance. Example: ADMIN is part of OldSquad, went to CS last CS with his guild and was part of CS. OldSquad won the CS. ADMIN can only join next week's CS with OldSquad guild. Example2: OldSquad is in alliance with ADMINS, ADMIN is part of OldSquad and Gion is part of ADMINS. OldSquad alliance wins the CS. Next week both ADMIN & Gion can join CS only with OldSquad alliance (as main alliance guild). Note: This change is made to avoid cases of winning Guilds remaking their guild / join another guild for CS just to get rid of Handicaps. [UPDATED] Now you can play the CS only with the guild/alliance that you started with when you did /rebuild. You can't join other guilds/alliances during CS. [UPDATED] Requirements in order for an alliance to be able to register Signs of Lord: Have at least 20 members in main guild. Have the Average Reset of main guild >= 65% of TOP1 Player reset (rounded down). Example: If TOP1 Player has 6 Resets, the minimum Average Reset of the Main Guild must be 3. Exception: This check is only available when the TOP1 has at least 6 resets (under 6 resets the check is not active). [UPDATED] Requirements in order for an alliance to be able to stay in Valley before & during CS: Be selected as CS participant (after Signs period). Have at least 20 members in main guild. Have the Average Reset of main guild >= 65% of TOP1 Player reset (rounded down). Example: If TOP1 Player has 6 Resets, the minimum Average Reset of the Main Guild must be 3. Exception: This check is only available when the TOP1 has at least 6 resets (under 6 resets the check is not active). Have at least 10 players from main guild online in either Crywolf or Valley. Have /rebuild already made. Note: The check is happening every minute. Note:
During years we've tried all the possible methods of guild systems especially for CS. Some performed better than others, but none of them were totally satisfying.
We're once again trying something new, compared to what we had so far.
With this current system we aim to give back identities to the allied guilds, encouraging lower-tier guilds to ally each-other and to participate at CS without having to be part of the main guild, while keeping the CS players numbers in a balanced state.
New CS Features
[ADDED] CS Statues There are now 2 statues, one is on the East side outside the room (104x 192y) and one is on the West side outside of the room (77x 145y). These Statues are now extra mini-objectives during CS. They can be controlled by one alliance at a time. In order to control a Statue your alliance must have AT LEAST 2 players in its 5x5 range (the statue zones are marked with 4 guards). In order to control a Statue your alliance must have the highest number of players (compared to rest of the alliances) in its 5x5 range. Examples: If OldSquad does have 1 player in the 5x5 range of a Statue, and no other Alliance does have any player in the range, then the Statue is in a neutral state (not controlled). If OldSquad does have 2 players in the 5x5 range of a Statue, and no other Alliance does, then the Statue is controlled by OldSquad. If OldSquad does have 2 players in the 5x5 range of a Statue, and other Alliance does have 1 player in the range, then the Statue is controlled by OldSquad. If OldSquad does have 2 players in the 5x5 range of a Statue, and other Alliance does have 2 players in the range, then Statue is controlled by the Alliance that already controlled it. If OldSquad does have 2 players in the 5x5 range of a Statue, and other Alliance does have 3 players in the range, then Statue is controlled by the other Alliance. East Statue advantage: While holding the East Statue, your alliance will gain +100% (in the first CS hour) / +50% (in the second CS hour) Defense points per second, until the alliance lose the control of the Statue. West Statue advantage: While holding the West Statue, your alliance will gain +50% (while a Kill Points modifier is still active) / +100% (while a Kill Points modifier is not active) Kill Points based on the final number of points a killer would normally get. If your alliance holds both statues then the following buff will be up for your alliance until you lose at least 1 Statue: GM will gain damage immunity, preventing him from being damaged, while the buff is active. Note: The immunity buff for GM when holding both statues does make him immune from being moved as well. [ADDED] Gigas Golem Every 12 minutes after it is killed or it is despawned (starting at 17:30) a Gigas Golem will spawn in the Valley, before the Bridge, at fixed coordinates. Gigas Golem has 3 minutes duration, then it is auto despawned. The Gigas Golem is another mini-objective, but a timed one. The alliance that does the last-hit on the Gigas Golem will put one of the following curses (randomly) on their opponents: Points Curse - Stop the points gained from all sources for 3 minutes. Stun Curse - Stun every opponent for 5 seconds every 45 seconds, for 3 minutes. CS Gameplay, Points & Rewards
[UPDATED] Kills & Points System is reworked: TANK build is now considered ANY character (except of RF and ELF) that has AGI+VIT higher than 65% of Total Points. Killing an Assistant now grants 1.5 * Default Points (from 2 * Default Points). Killing a Battle Master still grants 2 * Default Points. Killing a TANK now grants 2.5 * Default Points (from 3 * Default Points). Killing a Guild Master now grants 4 * Default Points (from 5 * Default Points). Default Points per kill is now 8 Points instead of 10 Points. During higher kill points period, the points can now be changed to 10-18 Points instead of 12-25 Points. The Reset Difference Points are now +- 0.5 Points based on the reset difference between killer and target. New: In statues 8x8 range, you gain & lose 50% of the points you normally gain/lose in the same conditions but inside the CS room. Example: If a Kill inside the CS room would net you 24 points, the same kill in the statues 8x8 range will get you 12 points. The Minimum amount of Points that you can get for a kill inside CS room is now 5 Points (instead of 2), and still no Maximum value, no matter the type of kill or bonuses. The Minimum amount of Points that you can get for a kill in Statue's range is 3 Points, and no Maximum value, no matter the type of kill or bonuses. The reset difference formulas will always apply before any modifier, in the case of normal kills. Example: If ADMIN kills Gion and ADMIN has 30 resets and Gion 27, while Kill Points are 8 then ADMIN gets 8-(0.5*3) = 7 Points. If ADMIN's alliance does control the West Statue then ADMIN gets +50%/100% * 7 Points = 11/14 Points on the same kill. If the kill is being made in Statue's range then ADMIN gets 6/7 Points. Now the Battle Masters no longer ignore reset differences. Instead, they now gain + 25% points per kill for any normal target kill (that does not have any special role). Apart from reset difference & special role, we now also have extra points gained per kill based on the current total points of the target: You gain an extra 10% (inside CS room) / 5% (in Statues range) of the target total points per kill. The extra points are going directly towards your Alliance and are not counted to your own points/performance, as well as not counted for the target feed points. General Example: Let's say ADMIN is part of OldSquad and Gion is part of ADMINS. ADMIN has 20 resets, Gion has 17 resets. ADMIN is also Assistant, Gion is a Guild Master. ADMIN has 400 Kill Points, Gion has 200 Kill Points. Default Points is the normal value (8 Points). When ADMIN kills Gion (inside the CS room) this is what happens: ADMIN gets 8*4 (extra Points from killing a GM) = 32 Points. ADMIN's alliance (OldSquad) is getting 32 Points (ADMIN's performance) + 0.1 * 200 (extra points for alliance from Gion's total points) = 52 Points. When Gion kills ADMIN (in statue's range) this is what happens: Gion gets 8*1.5 (extra Points from klling an Assistant) * 0.5 (statue's range reduction) = 6 Points. Gion's alliance (ADMINS) is getting 6 Points (Gion's performance) + 0.05 * 400 (half bonus extra points for alliance from ADMIN's total points) = 26 Points. On old system: ADMIN & OldSquad gets 10*5 (50 Points from killing a GM) = 50 Points. Gion & ADMINS gets 0 Points because the kill was made outside the room. [UPDATED] Now CS Initialization is made 9:30 minutes after CS does start (instead of after 14:30 minutes). [UPDATED] Now every Alliance GM that is part of CS will get a Life Stone every 15 minutes (starting at 17:30) as long as his Alliance isn't currently having the most points at CS. Note: The previous, unused Life Stones will be deleted when a new one is generated. Note2: If Alliance GM does switch / reconnect / leave CS server, the Life Stone is deleted. Note3: The Life Stone is gained only if the GM is online and on Valley at the moment when Life Stones are delivered. [UPDATED] Now you no longer get an extra DEF Point if you stay on the Crown position as Defender GM. You still get only half DEF Points if you are outside CS Room. [UPDATED] Life Stones now have the maximum possible Defense but a HP of 175k (from 30kk). Note: This means that no matter how many stats a character does have, it will do similar damage to Life Stones (50-300) so in order to kill them faster you need more people attacking them (no matter their total stats). [UPDATED] Now you get the full DEF Points if the GM is in 5x5 range of the East Statue (DEF Points statue). [UPDATED] DEF Points distribution: 1 Point per second between 17:10 and 17:34. 2 Points per second between 17:35 and 17:59. 3 Points per second between 18:00 and 18:24. 4 Points per second between 18:25 and 18:44. 6 Points per second between 18:45 and 19:00. [UPDATED] Removed TOP3 Contributors / TOP3 Stampers concepts. They are now replaced with a single TOP5 Net Worth: Net Worth is an accumulation of every CS player activity & performance during each CS. Formula for Net Worth calculation: (Total Kill Points - (Total Feed Points * 0.7)) + Stamp Seconds + Activity Time where: Total Kill Points = The amount of Points you personally contributed for you Team. Total Feed Points = The amount of Points you gave away to other teams while being killed. Stamp Seconds = The amount of seconds you held a Switch. Activity Time = 0.15 Points for every second while a CS Participant is online in Valley during CS. This value is raised to 0.4 Points per second if the Player is inside CS room or in 5x5 range of the Statues. Example of Net Worth: ADMIN has 1400 Total Kill Points, 420 Total Feed Points, 200 Stamp Seconds, 60 minutes in valley during CS & 50 minutes inside CS room / statues. ADMIN's Net Worth is: 1400 - (420*0.7) + 200 + 60*60*0.15 + 50*60*0.4 = 3046. Note: Stamp Seconds are updated 1 time per minute. [UPDATED] Now there's an individual reward based on Net Worth for any CS Player: Minimum Points that your alliance must have gained at CS in order for the players to be eligible for individual rewards: 1500 Points. Minimum Net Worth to be eligible for individual reward: 1000. Default Reward: 10% chance for 1x OB5 / 90% chance for 10s/10c/10cr/10gem. The Net Worth will dictate the % chance for getting the special box as reward, as following: (NetWorth/100)% = box chance. Examples: Having 1000 NetWorth = 10% chance for special box (OB5 in Inception's case). Having 1200 NetWorth = 12% chance for special box (OB5 in Inception's case). Having 2450 NetWorth = 24.5% chance for special box (OB5 in Inception's case). Having 5500 NetWorth = 55% chance for special box (OB5 in Inception's case). The rest of the chance is for guaranteed 10s/10c/10cr/10gem. Bonus Reward: Players with 4000+ Net Worth will also win 2x VIP Days. [UPDATED] Reworked summoner Sleep duration on CS server: Under 5000 / 10000 / 15000 ENERGY (based on Stage) = Sleep is blocked. 5000-7999 / 10000-15999 / 15000-26999 ENERGY (based on Stage) = Sleep duration is 2 seconds. 8000 / 16000 / 27000 ENERGY (based on Stage) = Sleep duration is 3 seconds. [UPDATED] Now summoner Sleep hit chance on CS server is 80%. [UPDATED] Now players that are under Sleep effect on CS server can't be damaged. The immunity gained by a player under Sleep effect does make him immune from being moved as well. Note: With these changes we aim to introduce new ways of playing the Summoners at CS and new strategies around Sleep. You'll now have to react to Summoners and bring players to help with the Summoners and/or waste the Summon from DL just to save the Sleeping players. Extra Changes & Quality of Life
[UPDATED] Removed LOT entry Tax. [UPDATED] Removed the global messages when killing GAs & BMs to reduce the spam (only GM & Tank kills are highlighted now). [UPDATED] You can now use /rebuild until the CS does start. Which means you have 15 minutes of unlimited rebuilds (in case you make a mistake with the points). [UPDATED] Now when typing /score you will see the following info: On global (middle screen): Alliances score as usually + Players in valley for each alliance. Current DEF Points / Kill points as usually. Time left for the next Gigas golem spawn / ALIVE status. West Statue & East Statue controllers (if any). On system chat (top left side): Your current Kills, Deaths, Kill Points, Feed Points, Net Worth. The current Banned Build. [UPDATED] Now when typing /score +Name during CS it will show you the same info of the Player that /score does show to you. [UPDATED] Now /assist command that the assistants can use has a cooldown of 90 seconds instead of 120 seconds. [UPDATED] Now /assist can be used in 3 ways: /assist -> Will teleport the assistant to the GM. /assist east -> Will teleport the assistant to the East Statue, if the guild is currently controlling the East Statue. /assist west -> Will teleport the assistant to the West Statue, if the guild is currently controlling the West Statue. [UPDATED] Now the points earned / bonuses, etc. are no longer rounded up / down. They are given as float values unless it is specified that something is rounded up/down (for example, avg. reset requirement for CS). The final Points / Scores / etc. will still be counted as integers. Example: If DEF points are 3 per second and you get + 50% DEF Points with the statue, then you'll get 4.5 Points instead of 4 or 5 Points. Example2: If you get 25% more points as a BM and you kill a target that would give you 11 points, you'll get 13.75 Points instead of 13 points or 14 points. Example3: If your alliance total points is 5563.60, you'll actually have 5563 Points. If your final NetWorth is 1120.7, then your NetWorth is 1120. [UPDATED] Now Both Attackers & Defenders can spawn after dying anywhere before the first gates of CS & before the second gates of CS (60x - 95y -> 130x - 150y) [UPDATED] Summon (DL) now has 80 seconds cooldown (from 50 seconds). Final Notes
With the CS V3 release we aim to:
Make the CS way more interesting and less predictable. Encourage smaller-scale fights outside of CS room (for Statues & Gigas). Encourage lower tier guilds to participate at CS. Since we rewritten entire CS System code from scratch there may be bugs that you'll encounter (even with features that were 100% working before). Make sure to screenshot & report anything wrong you may find so we can fix it.

Alex. reacted to ADMIN in Announcing Inception - #5 Edition - Back to Origins
Since we've released our Inception #5 announcement we've received a lot of feedback from both council members as well as random players.
There are a lot of things planned for this edition, that will be worked & released during its lifespan, but I'll put here a wall of text with most of the changes that have been done so far since our initial announcement, that are currently live on Test Server as well as on official server:
Chars:
All classes have been balanced for start & early game in terms of Hunt & PvM. They are pretty close compared to how they used to be on early. We didn't focused too much on PvP aspect (they're based on 30rr balance), things will be tweaked there after first Stage. Rageful Blow is now the main PvM skill for BK early on (has been buffed). Same can be said about Summoner and Lightning Shock. EMG no longer has the extra defence buff. Dragon Roar is now a level 100 skill (from 150). Dark Side is now a level 120 skill (from 180). AG cost reduced for Rageful Blow, Fire Slash and Lightning Shock. Improvements:
Max Mana option (excellent) is now 15% instead of 4%. %Mana per mob option (excellent) is now 7% per mob instead of 12% per mob. Pendant of Ability now increases AG by +10%/+20%/+30% instead of +1%/+2%/+3%. Pendant of Ability (non exc) can drop with only +10% AG. Pendant of Ability (exc) can drop with +10~30% AG. Ring of Magic now increases Mana by +10%/+20%/+30% instead of +1%/+2%/+3%. Ring of Magic (non exc) can drop with only +10% Mana. Ring of Magic (exc) can drop with +10~30% Mana. Excellent Shields can no longer have ZEN option. Party EXP system reworked from a default system to a custom system: The following exp rates will be applied no matter the races that are in party: Solo = 100%. 2 Players = 102%. 3 Players = 105%. 4 Players = 108%. 5 Players = 112%. Now, when there are ONLY 4 people in party, but all of them different races (Perfect Party): Everyone gets a "seal" with +5% EXP from the 4 man base exp (108%). If there are 5 people in party, and all of them different races (Perfect Party): Everyone gets a "seal" with +7% EXP from the 5 man base exp (112%). In order to apply the seal, a player from party must be in the 10x10 range of PM. If PM hasn't at least 1 other player from party in his 10x10 range, he won't get the seal alone. So: Leaving from the spot means losing your seal, but others on spot near PM does not lose it. If PM leaves spot and he's alone, nobody have a seal anymore, including the PM. Extras:
You can type /dice and it will generate a random number from 1-100, as a system message, that everyone from your range can see it. You can type /dice xxx where xxx = any number < 10000, it will generate a random number from 1 to your number, that everyone from your range can see it. Note: There is a 5 seconds cooldown between each use. This idea is borrowed from WoW, let the deathrolls begin! Reward of Quiz is now 2x Bless instead of 1x Bless & 1x Chaos. Wings level 1 are now harder to obtain, changes: Chaos Item (Goblin) will now always come +0. Chaos Item (Goblin) will now have 12% chance for ADD4, and 88% chance for ADD+0. Jewel of Life removed for early game from WW drop table. Jewel of Life drop rate from mobs that can be farmed early on is slightly reduced. Reset price early on has been increased a little. New table: Resets cost starts from 60kk (from 40kk) and goes up as following: Each extra reset until 6 resets = + 15.000.000 zen per reset (from + 10.000.000 per reset). The 6th reset = 135.000.000 zen (from 90.000.000) Each extra reset until 10 resets = + 25.000.000 zen per reset (from + 15.000.000 per reset). The 10th reset = 235.000.000 zen (from 150.000.000) Each extra reset until 20 resets = + 50.000.000 zen per reset. The 20th reset = 735.000.000 zen (from 650.000.000) Each extra reset until 30 resets = + 80.000.000 zen per reset. Early market cost for adding an item has been reduced: Cost is now 800k from 2kk. May be raised as game progress. The Zen value of JoG is now 2.5kk instead of 6kk. The Zen value of Creation is now 3kk instead of 5kk.
For future (patches) we'll have a look at:
New ways of getting OB1/OB2. Reduce the "luck" part of getting Fenrir. New Zen system. Maybe a que for IT, with random selected people that can join from the registered pool. A(nother) rework on Arena Tournament. & other interesting changes/improvements.
We'll keep this topic updated if there will be any more *impactful* changes until the start.
Cheers.

Alex. reacted to TwoCheeks in Squadron, we're back.
Hi everyone !
We are excited about the Project Phoenix#3 and we will reunite again as Squadron guild.
The server seems to combine the high-paced aspects of reset servers with the classic game-play of non-rr, which we enjoy the most.
Along the years, we played with many good players that will start on this edition of OS. And we realize is impossible to reunite with everyone under the same guild.
This edition we will start as two parties, around 10 people and we intend to recruit as many new players as we can.
We are convinced it will increase the competition and give new opportunities, for us also, to meet new people that enjoy the game as we do.
The Squadron will be focused as usual on the pvp side of the game, CS as main objective, big bosses fights and applying pressure on the maps.
So if this gameplay suits you, we definitely want you in our team !
Add me on discord TwoCheeks#5899
Thank you!

Alex. got a reaction from No1LiveEr in A new feature is now live (discussion)
@Deadcat
You do realise that people that are in top have higher maps free of other people, there before would be able to pull 5-6 spots at the same time without anyone contesting them, wile the rest of the playerbase would be lucky to get a free spot that they could pull.
Everybody knew about the pulls from other DB's, but everybody was silent. It would not be fair or ethical in my opinion to remove a reset, decrease XP or remove them from doing events because in order to reach that advantage, work was put in.
And yes, i'm one of the partys that did pulls, and trust me, the reason i tottaly agree with this change is because the gap between casuals and ppl that can do pulls in high maps will just continue to get bigger.

Alex. reacted to ADMIN in A new feature is now live
A new feature has just been added on the server: "Anti-mobs-pull".
From now on, if a monster does pass the 7x7 range of his initial spot, it will be teleported back to its initial coordonates where it was spawned first time.
This will *hopefully* stop several unhealthy mechanics:
Pulling monsters from other spots to your own party spot to gain extra EXP, increasing the gap by a lot between very active players and less active players. Pulling monsters from other persons spots (by accident or intended) that would cause exp lose to that party. Mobs running out from their spots so newbies being confused when they reach a place where a spot should be, but no monsters can be found. Pulling "harder" monsters to other persons spots to get the spot "for free", after the mobs does kill them. Note: This feature is disabled for events monsters, invasions monsters, bosses, etc. It only works for basic spot monsters.
We believe that this feature will make our gameplay more healthier for everyone involved, very active or not.
Please let us know if you find anything wrong related to this.
Extra: Don't forget to register to our Soccer Night #1! Registrations will close tomorrow. Read here: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/4014-soccer-night-1-10102020/
Happy gaming!

Alex. reacted to ADMIN in Announcing Inception - #4 Edition - Back to Origins
Hello, OldSquaders!
Hope y'all had a nice & safe summer.
We're ready to bring you a new great journey into our MU world!
We've been working on the past weeks to finish the next edition of Inception, an edition that is bringing a lot of new & fun things as well as a lot of balance features and tweaks to keep the competition level high, as we all seek to.
Inception's 4th edition will be officially launched on Friday, 25 SEPTEMBER, at 19:00 Server Time (GMT+3). MOBS will spawn at 20:00 Server Time (GMT+3)!
Official Info Topic: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/993-inception-official-information-many-details-about-server
The Test Server will be released for public starting from next week.
As we're always striving for, we expect this Inception edition to be the best to be seen yet in our community.
Some of the new things that this Inception edition will feature:
Council Group Council will be the "voice of the players" for this Inception's edition. We will interact directly & actively with members of the Council for a better game for everyone. Note: We'll try to have at least 1 representative for each *bigger* guild as a member of our Council, as well as people that had / will have contributions in terms of feedback/suggestions/bug reports/etc. New Stage System Now after a stage is completed it will no longer affect others (the exp of that reset goes back to the same exp of the previous reset). Now apart from the Stage breakers (first 3 people to finish a stage) that will keep their own reward, there will be rewards for everyone that progressed through stage based on the level they had when the stage was completed. Now the EXP boosts for newbies will be added after each stage completion (and will benefit everyone who is not in top 100 at that moment). Important: The players that finish a stage won't be able to continue leveling until the stage is officially over for everyone. A stage will be officially over after 12 hours since the 3rd player finished it. Exception: If the 3rd player does finish the stage between 15:00 and 22:00 server time then the stage will be officially over only at 10:00 next day (due to sleep interval). This is meant to assure the next stage will be more fair in terms of competition. So, by progressing through the stage you'll win both rewards and a better position to compete for the next one. Dynamic Characters Balance Now after each stage, we'll be adjusting the characters that either OVERPERFORM or UNDERPERFORM in either PvP or PvM at that stage of the game. The adjustments will be based on the Council's feedback. Duel Gamble System Fight your enemies and/or friends for bets in jewels/credits. Winner get em' all. More info about it you can find on Official Topic -> PvP System -> Duel Gamble System. Imperial Guardian V2 along with weekly rankings for speed-run records of parties Enjoy a harder Imperial event alongside personal rewards, extra optional rewards as well as weekly rankings for speed-running competitions in teams of 5 different classes. More info later. OldSquad Soccer System & Soccer Nights Had a bad week? No problem, @Gion will guarantee you have a fun experience on our Soccer Nights to make it up (hosted usually in weekend). No friends/guild needed. Everyone will be part of a random-made team based on the registration pool. Extra Warehouses ingame Starting from this edition, players will be able to access multiple warehouses on the same account. Basically, you will have your *MAIN* warehouse as usually, and you'll gain access to extra (empty by default) warehouses where you can deposit your things: Non-VIP characters do have 2 extra warehouses. Dealer & Hunter VIP characters will have 3 extra warehouses. Professional VIP characters do have 4 extra warehouses. In order to access such extra warehouses you need to type the command /ware (0/1/2/3/4) where the number = warehouse number. Example: /ware 0 (will switch to your main warehouse, which is always set by default and after each relog). Example2: /ware 1 (will switch to your 2nd warehouse). Note: Characters that had VIP and it expired will no longer be able to access the extra warehouse(s), but items will not be lost, they can be accessed back after you renew your VIP. Note2: The Game Warehouse from Website does use ONLY the *MAIN* warehouse. Improvements to the Mother-Kid concept to make it more feasible towards (re)populating Inception Lower wait-time for transfers, faster peace Wormhole, additional transfer options for those that started Wormhole later but managed to make enough resets. Separated sub-server for gens maps (Server 2) to improve performance Extra things: All the improvements, fixes & new features that were added since Phoenix's start up to now have been adjusted accordingly and added to Inception as well. Now you can get DDI% (from harmony) only from item level + 11 (instead of + 9). Note: Maximum DDI% per item is now 5% instead of 7% (1% at +11, 3% at +12, 5% at +13). Credits reward for submitting a Guide and have it accepted. Credits reward for submitting a Suggestion and have it accepted & implemented. IMP now increases damage / wiz damage with +12% instead of +20%. Demon now increases damage / wiz damage with +18% instead of +30%. Now there's maximum 4 GM boxes that can be obtained by each loser of CS. Now if the GM of team with lowest points at CS has quitted, the 2nd lowest points team will receive the periodic Life Stones. + many other things that you can find by reading all of our info as well as playing the test & the official game.
We're here for an EPIC edition, hope you're too!

Alex. got a reaction from batanete in Phoenix server-about creation fruits and rr
Lets say u added 15 points into STR and 15 points into ENE. Once you reset you will get 30 extra points to alocate wherever you want. So, just use them now
