    1. As you can see, there is interest in introducing something to attract new/old players to join current Inception and to create a competition here. We as a leading team completely don’t mind accepting a proper exp boost, a proper starter pack for newcomers or even an idea where every player starts with 3 resets and some basic set+dsr for example. Just few rough ideas from our end and I’m pretty sure you would be able to come up with something as well. Anything that would attract new players to join and to have one more competitive guild would be a win. Even if it includes the basement virgin from above - that’s exactly what we would need :)

      If you leave it as it is, in two weeks’ time there will be no one to attend CS and server will simply die just after 5 weeks from the start still at early game stage. Is this really something you want? If not, please react now before it’s too late.

    2. Hello OldSquaders 😉

      As you can see on the online counter, the idea of Inception sprints and Genesis probably didn’t go as expected. At the minute we have 200 online on Genesis which actually is almost dead and 230 online on new Inception that freshly started 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, one of two main guilds has left Inception recently, because they couldn’t handle the competition and now there is no competition between players at all. It will probably die very soon as well which in result will force you to carry two dead servers without any competition on any of them. 

      The only way to create a competition now is to encourage new players (or new guild) to join Inception and focus on this project for next couple of weeks. I would suggest organizing some proper speed exp event for new players within 0-5 resets, so that they can make those 5 resets within one week and start competing with the existing players that are already at 5rr. It would also be a good timing for such an event because we are at the 5rr stage now, so the new players could catch up even faster. I think it’s not too late because we are still at early game. Obviously, this kind of event should also be properly advertised to reach as many people as possible. I believe it would also encourage people that are already within OldSquad community and haven’t joined Inception from the start. They might think it’s already too late to join but it actually wouldn’t be, because they will have a chance to catch up with top players very quick (Hardcores I’m talking to you!). Apart from exp boost we can think of any other ideas for new players that will join.

      We had a conversation within ELITE guild thinking about generating a competition on the server and that would probably be the only way. Otherwise, we will have to split the guild creating two smaller groups and compete between each other which does not make any sense. Inception project has always been quite popular with 600-700 online players after first three weeks, now it’s almost dead only because group of noobs have left after first drama. This is disappointing for us, that’s why we came with this suggestion. 

      If anyone have any other ideas, feel free to add it in this topic. I’m aware that Gion/Admin most likely will not do anything in this matter but it’s always worth trying 😁

      Well, there's nothing more to talk about, the time for "talks" is over. I already stated my opinions and plans, you are all of course free to have your own opinions, but there's not really something that would change my mind.

      All I did during every single edition of any project was constantly to brainstorm, focus and come up with new features, new ways to balance things out, prevent bad things from happening, improvements, quality of life, new fixes, and so on. 
      There wasn't a single day from first 2-4 months of each project when I wasn't thinking at what we can do better, what we can improve, what can we add, to make the game more fun for our players.
      Could I have just stopped doing all of this since we already had a great product? Of course, most of people were already impressed with the level of the project, we didn't had to do much more. But we never stopped, we always wanted to get better and better, to work more and more.
      How many of you complained about Zen that is useless and you want it to be valuable? Some can be easily found on forum, the rest only us know, because we spoke with A LOT of you in private about your complaints. We delivered, we made Zen important in economy, and apparently it was "shit", well, you asked for it.
      How many of you complained that you have hundreds of jewels - some even thousands on Inception (talking mostly about bless, soul and life) and that they have no value? That all items are sold only for Credits (and insane prices) because the jewels are worthless? That people play with VPN and x accounts just to farm jewels and get rich over night which was BAD? That you have no motivation to go to events because rewards were CRAP? (of course are crap when you have hundreds of jewels).
      A hella' lot of you, and you know better. We delivered, we made jewels and events valuable, and it was again considered "shit".
      See? You never knew what you wanted. You always wanted something - we listened - we implemented - you didn't wanted it anymore and considered it bad. If breaks/stages were too long you asked them to be shorter. When they were shorter you asked them to be longer, cuz you "pass" content too fast. When higher maps were easier you asked for higher maps to be harder, when we made it harder you asked for them to be weaker because you need decent gear to stay.
      And of course, that's the reason I always trusted my own ideas more than what you wanted (my ideas and vision brought the oldsquad to this high level), despite listening and implementing everything good you suggested over years (browse forum and you'll find everything that was considered and implemented/changed that came from players and was considered good).

      You're right, I shouldn't blame the community, I should just blame me, that I took this project too serious and too personal and that I've put more soul than I should. That I allowed players to behave incorrectly from start, either between each-other or towards us. That I gave 2nd and even 3rd chances to players that shouldn't had them. That our rules weren't too harsh to make people think twice. That, as I said, focused too much on the product instead of focusing on building a healthy, toxic-free community where both staff and players can feel comfortable being part of. That was the secret that I didn't knew back then in 2016, how the way smaller communities with very bad products were so healthy, happy, and long-term.
      But yes, it was a great personal lesson, and for sure I'll use it in my future projects.

      I'm not looking to argue with anyone, it was my one and only reply, feel free to continue to throw shit, something that you (as community) know to do way better than to be constructive.

      You will never change. You trash talked about the community actually having one of the best community in the business - very competitive, very active and very stable even though some smaller or bigger issues around. Before you talked about toxic community you should look at the mirror and ask yourself a question. Why people don’t like me?

      Maybe it’s because of the way you talk to people and how arrogant you are? Maybe it’s because you think you are the smartest guy in the world? Maybe it’s because you think you are always right? Maybe it’s because you ignore what people talk to you and listen to “your” people only? Etc etc.

      I have never seen you admitting your own mistakes :)

      Oh yea, finally a feedback worth replying, outside of "joke" and "why you did that, I dont like it", you should all learn how to give a feedback if you plan to do it.

       

      What is wrong with my feedback that you didn't honor us with your reply?

       

      DL complaining about PVP - this is a joke I agree tho 💩

    5. There are two most stupid and unnecessary changes you implemented:

      1. Removal of teleport in Dungeon - you still didn’t explain the purpose of this after my feedback in other topic :)

      2. Box of kundun drop change - constantly  dropping vine zen mana from k5 is really annoying :)

      Generally, I think you tried to change something just to show that you really want to improve but in reality some changes were simply not needed.

      Too fast access on harder accessible zones from Dungeon for Rabbits, BoK+2 Goldens and WW (teleport + teleport ally).

      Teleport / Teleport Ally is a natural SM advantage over other classes and it always was. You have already changed genuine Teleport settings by implementing cool down and now you are trying even harder. Maybe remove Teleport from the game permanently, so that it doesn’t cause any more confusion? :D 
       

      Following this line of reasoning, you should also block DL’s horse and all other pets during invasions, so that everyone moves around the map with the same speed. I’m not even mentioning, that Teleport is useful only in Dung1 to move from warp to middle map zone (leaving start of the map for other classes to hunt anyway) and start of Dung2 to move between walls. All other parts of Dungeon are the same for all classes. Completely useless and stupid idea without reasonable arguments.

      9. I do not even bother to enter IT as many players: HC make anti game, pewpew reported by roleX enter all the time, same players are all the time, etc. There are lots of problems and some players exploit them.

      I must agree on this. HC is doing anti game every single IT because they managed to find a way how to enter the event very fast and most of the time there is majority of HC players inside against others. Admin tried to sort it out by implementing warning system but it works the opposite of what was expected as HC players constantly warn people who actually don’t do anti game. Not really sure if there is anything else to do with IT to make it fair for everyone. Maybe max 3-5 people from one ally can join the event at the time? I don’t know if that would be technically possible to implement.

      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 :)

      Don’t be funny. If you are active player, you can still farm some goldens, farm jewels, farm fenrir components, farm feathers, crests, gems, johs, do all events, etc. and sell to top players for a decent price. This would allow you to buy pvp set and upgrade it accordingly. It’s only your fault that you invested in dsr set while lvling is fast now and instead of hunting/farming, you come here and cry that the gameplay is not fair which is simply not true. Admin did a lot to make new comers’ game easier comparing to other servers. Don’t blame anyone for your mistakes, mate. I’ve been here since beginning and trust me, you would be shocked if you saw crazy prices of basic items +L+DD or any w2 one month ago. Now it’s quite easy to gear up your character and most of items you need are available to buy for reasonable prices :)

      PS: Master degree doesn’t make you smart these days.

       

      Great work over the last 5 years, OS Team! I’ve been with you for a long time and noticed significant progression every new edition. You are listening to your players which is really important :)

      I’m sure Arena Tournament will be another great piece of work from your end and believe it’s gonna work as it should. Hard to find out any potential problems now but I’m pretty sure you will receive many feedbacks after first fights. This just need to be released and tested by the bigger group of people. 

      Thank you!

    9. I don’t understand why people who registered for Mercenary Squad can’t also farm gens points while exping on battle map. For example, my party is focusing mainly on exp so we stay on battle maps for most of the time but obviously we also need to farm bounties and mercenary points. This is why we can’t unregister Mercenary to start receiving ugens points by exping on battle maps. If I’m not wrong, it was different on last edition as we could receive gens points on battle maps even while being a part of Mercenary Squad. I understand there is something at the expense of something but this change doesn’t make sense to me. I think the Mercenary Squad members should be able to receive gens points while exping on battle maps and Mercenary points when exping on non-battle maps as it was at last edition (if I’m not wrong).

      Another thing is about /challenge feature. Now your target can be low lvl as the system does only reset checks while searching for a target. This doesn’t make sense because with 50lvl you have no chance to fight with 350+lvl due to low pvp asr. Obviously, you can do relog when you are after rr and being hunted but it’s always frustrating for the person who’s looking for you and also for you because you lose a chance for repel. Also, I’m not sure if /pvpquest feature is disabled during golden invasions but couple of days ago I was being hunted during invasion when we were killing k5 in Raklion.

      I really miss Arena Tournament! Hopefully, you will sort it out and release as soon as possible. Probably one of the best custom events in MuO I have ever seen. 

      I think we need more interaction with new players joining the server. From my point of view, newbies don’t have realistic chance to farm goldens. Even k1 or k2 goldens are problematic for them as many top players looking for budge on low maps and killing all k1/k2’s they met son their way. I would suggest to focus not only on exp boost events for newbies but also give them a chance to farm any 2opt exc items they can either use or sell. It must be frustrating for a newbie who joined server few days ago to see all budges killed after 60sec. I’m talking about newbies 0-2rr.

      I will update this post when I think of anything else :)

      Let me tell you where the abuse is. If you check this TOPIC RIGHT HERE you will find a player named Gruba that has been reported by my guild mate, dNice, in game and on forum as well. The problem was, I was in Mamelcia's team and dNice was in Gruba's team, so Gruba trolled dNice's team and helped Mamelcia's team to win(the team I was in). I noticed that as well, since Gruba was fighthing mobs instead helping his team, standing afk in base as you can see in the prints attached in that Report Topic against Gruba. We automatically won that game since it was 5vs4, dNice warned Gruba and I tried as well, didn't worked, I don't know why, yet, here it comes the "abuse reason" we are talking about. Mamelcia and Gruba, both warned dNice, just because he warned Gruba. So tell me again, don't you see any abuse point here? Cause I do, imagine if there were more guildmates from Mamelcia, and Gruba's guild, what would've happened then? All of them could warn dNice and ban him from IT, for what reason? For no reason. So why would a player who  tried to win and help his team, would get banned from IT, just because  the system is wrong, and the one who trolled will just be abble to play in IT again and split the prize with the enemy team that he helped to win. Can you see the problem now?
      There must be some rules about this IT thing, cause it's a total chaos with this event and not everyone is abble to constantly stay with their video camera on, to film every IT event. Dnice came on forum and reported Gruba, because the /warn system is useless, yet, Gion came with a lazy answer and closed the topic. I can literally see in the prints, Gruba sitting in base and just typing in chat bad words, not helping his team. @Gion next time when you check a report topic on forum, asure you are not in bed on your phone, ready to sleep with your eyes almost closed, but on laptop or pc so you can see the prints as they are, cause I can perfectly see everything in the prints, how can't you? Even tho you couldn't see much about trolling, you could see the bad language he constantly used, and you could warn that player for the language he used, but wait, you need 100 other same topics, with more words, so you can index a bit more in google, instead solve the problem in that topic.

      Anyway @ADMIN as @Spawn said, don't compare a game with 100k+ online, with an event with 10 players that only takes place 2 times per day. Since you are giving examples about other game companies, here it is one, take Riot Games for example, the game League of Legends, yea? No need to mention how many players are playing that game at the same time, 5vs5 moba game mode. You know what they do? 99.9%, they manually checking the reports, they watch the replays and decide if there is a good reason to punish the player that was reported, for language, troll, hack, you name it, of course it can last weeks till that player is checked and punished, due to way too many reports, but still, they do it. Because it's the exact same problem as it is here, in your IT event, people just use /warn for no reason, just because they don't like that player, or maybe because they want him banned from IT due to his good plays, or many other reasons that doesn't even makes sense to me, as it doesn't this one here "You can both guild be banned at IT by warning each other for nothing, or you can both stop it and use your ONLY available warns to ban actual real troll". Okey, so let's all warn each other like monkeys, cause that's what we are and let's ban everyone in IT untill nobody would be able to play it anymore(Just an example, not possible, but an example), till the punishment will expire. The difference between here and League of Legends, is that they actually check the reports before punishing that player, unlike here, that the player could get banned from IT even tho he is innocent. So either change the system, either go back to the old fashioned way, reports on forum with proof(prints, videos, etc). I know it's hard what you acomplished here, especially with this old Season 6 files, almost impossible so hats off to you, but some things are unbalanced here, I will consider making a topic about it, later on, depends on how much I care about it, who knows.

      I would like to confirm this. I’m not sure if we are talking about the same IT but we had pretty similar situation with Gruba and Mamelcia. Gruba is obviously one of Formoza’s ppl alt and he helps Mamlecia’s team to win IT. I’ve seen them participating IT together couple of times. In our case Gruba was in my team, Mamelcia in opposite so Gruba just took obelisk and was going towards Mamelcia’s tower just to let them register faster. Obviously everyone warned Gruba straight after but has it changed anything? Not really. They won easily cuz Gruba was actually their 6th player. Not sure if there is anything to do with IT unless there are players like these :)

      Sometimes i try to summon, and the summoning animation and also the summon itself it's not working (Don't know if i do something wrong, or is bugged). I asked other dls if this happens to them and they confirmed. 

      • Teleport Ally & Summon are disabled if there is not at least 1 member from same guild in party.
      • Summon on Gens map is working when there is a boss alive.
