Gion

Thank you for your work, it means a lot, at least for me !
Cheers for our Reporter, guys !

Many players are wondering who Reporter is and why is he anonymous, why does he do this, and if he abuses the game with his position? Well, at this moment, the Reporter is just me (a random player), I am doing it for several months and I am doing everything in my power to have fun on the forum with the only purpose to increase the level of involvement for players in the forum and for our community. It is very likely that sometimes I write only the first appearance of an event in my articles (maybe I have only one sided part of story) , but if shit happens and I am wrong, I admit it publicly. I do not consider myself a perfect Reporter, but I consider myself a man with a strong spine and this means that I am able recognize my mistakes publicly, a mistake should  help everyone to evolve by not repeating it, no matter the circumstance. Plus, I am trying to deliver publicly the News, which I am personally picking, as soon as possible. 
If you look at the things constructively, this community has many hundreds or even thousands of players, and it deserves all the best! To be a Reporter inside this community means that you have to voice publicly the community voice, and this means to be equidistant even if you are a player. You have to put the job in the foreground, maybe you have incomplete information, sometimes a Reporter can only express the point of view that he gets on the ground(in game) , so I always must be careful what to write, in order to avoid controversies. But if I have strong arguments or evidence, I can do it with my eyes closed, I believe in the freedom of speech , I believe in this project in which I am involved, and I hope that freedom of speech will always win! I believe in truth and I will refuse to publish a lie, being aware of it.
I will always refuse to believe that the accuracy of my articles is prejudiced by my pride as a player, or the pride of the people I play with, I will always criticize mistakes (even if they are mine, or Admin's) and I will always bring due respect to those who deserve, regardless of the camp they belong to.
Being a Reporter means more than being an admin, an admin can make hot decisions, without thinking twice or he can be as proud as he wants, but he has to be even cause the only main judge on this server is Admin. I believe he acts always to increase the value of our community, maybe sometimes he does mistakes, even him can act without caring for the moment and ban someone just cause he was rude. He is right in 99% out of all cases , but I care, I care about all the players (I have an affection for those who put their soul in this game, some of these people make some big mistakes, and some of them do those mistakes because they have the impression that they have the absolute truth and that they have to reveal it to all the server, without thinking twice, without "sitting in Admin's chair"). I also care about all the articles I write, and, if I am wrong, I blame myself. Tho when I have a story to tell , especially when I am one of the most spiritualists, and I get an interview or just an anonymous opinion I commit myself to say it without being constrained by staff or other "forces". Let the truth (even one sided) go public !
When that time will come and I will give up being a reporter (or I will be fired),  I hope that this project will continue and that the new Reporter who will take over this job will surpass me and raise the written press to the highest level. 
Until then, the Reporter is me, just a random player, trying to get involved in the community, to take its pulse, and publicly transmit the most important things that happens in our servers and to interview the top players. I do not consider myself a super player or a super star cause I have this job, and I do not think that Reporter should be looked at like this, everything about NewsPaper must and should be about the community. I apologize as a human being, in this way, to those who felt offended in the written articles, but I can assure that those articles have been written with heart and soul and they will be written in the same manner, for the only thing that matters: to bring truth to light and to get our community stronger!
I have it in the signature, but I feel the need to write it again: "Freedom of speech is the concept of the inherent human right to voice one's opinion publicly without fear of censorship or punishment! "
So guys, feel free to judge me, to reply in NewsPaper, to like or dislike my articles! Feel free and speak truth, I will always appreciate it and I will do my best to write the truth down for our community. 
Best Regards, 
Your Reporter, the one that OldSquad Community has at this moment! 

Maybe just make peace? Next edition will make you probably best friends, it happens some times:) 
 

Yo, guyz, the past is gone, bets for next CS? ^^

Hopefully @ADMIN can help you.
Any other details are welcome, nothing is useless

By what means are you calling it a bug? When we type the formula "combo=(str+agi+Ene)/x" don't expect the exact same damage when you add str with the one when you add agi or Ene. And I'm not saying that the Str is the best for damage, I'm saying that this is MU from Webzen, and unless you can give us source Code access, please, just play
 
Thank you for understanding! 

Hello OldSquaders,
Our team would like to sincerely wish you Happy Holidays and a great and bright New Year, full of joy and fulfillment! 
We want to also let you know that this month we're reaching 4 years since OldSquad was born!
It was a pretty intense year that brought a lot of improvements to our community, from all perspectives, but most importantly, we highly raised our gameplay quality during this year.
We had a great journey with Phoenix, that proved to be the highest quality server we offered until now, but it was also surpassed with the Inception project, our current project being even better than Phoenix.
We've also greatly reduced the "major problems" a project may have and also increased our overall stability.
In our opinion, it was a great year, and we're sure that we can make your experience here even better.
We're constantly working to achieve "closer to perfection" servers, and we'll never stop until this game will be fully dead or simply unsustainable, which we're pretty sure it won't happen too soon.
Thank you for being our players during this year and we really hope that you enjoyed your time spent among us!
Now, speaking about the future, 2020 will be another "full" year, for us.
If we speak about servers schedule, we'll continue our community with only 2 main servers (Inception & Phoenix), and, based on how Wormhole will succeed or fail with its mission, we may extend/improve such mother-kid concept or simply abandon it.
Inception will always be the "autumn project" and Phoenix will be the "spring project".
But, as we told you during this year, we're going to expand our community with a new, fresh, last-game version (S14 or S15) NonReset replacement, somewhere after 2nd part of this year, if everything will go well. We don't have any info for now but it will take a lot of time to learn about it and then create something worth of OldSquad.
We currently have our "to-do list" with some important things left that we want to bring:
CS System V2. A full PRO guide in playing our servers competitively. Forum reorganization and Info reorganization. Personal notification system ingame based on your own character class/reset stage. End-Game Quest system especially for Inception. And many other smaller things and improvements that we plan to do for our systems. We also want to extend our to-do list with your own feedback, so we're opening a 4 YEARS Feedback Topic, where we ask your feedback that may help us to improve your future experience, more info here:
https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3530-4-years-feedback/
Kind regards,
OldSquad Team.

bk was always the best pvp char.. thats why he is kinda useless in pvm, hard to exp etc etc..
but still.. thats the 1st server i ve ever played with balance that best bks in best sets can die ''easy''
vRF can also die. its all about strategies. but still.. vDL cant die.. even if u put 2 full dmg parties to focus one vDL in cs... he will still not die.. using his earthquake makes it even harder to focus him in cs.. i wanted also suggest to disable some skills like earthquake or lighting in CS.. but im not sure if its right.. thats why i suggested inc dmg.. its fair for both guilds (attackers and defenders) 

hmm i wanna talk about last CS. well with aRF out of game we are again in one point that real tanks (agil vit BKs DLs) cant be killed. and again..i know some players made these char just for cs to keep switches or throne.. but still.. it cant be right to be immortal with 17rr DL (when whole server is 22-25rr). and im speaking about my DL now.. i can keep switch for 2 hours without any problem and without all buffs (ee def buff, erf vit buff, sm sb etc etc). and thats kinda boring in my opinion.
and ofc thats players mistake too.. i mean i havent see yet one high rr full ee giving buffs to killers. or high dmg builds (most of players adding more agil than str/ene)
anyway my suggestion is to inc dmg in cs more. tanks have no benefits from this. and rest char will be able to kill each others faster + will be able to kill tanks too. it would also be not bad if vrf also giving more points when they die. cause vrf is kinda broken right now.. can kill all + cant be killed so easy with over 50k life.

I just read what some of you write here and what i can say is that you are naming yourselves PRO PLAYERS. We have here some pro's who know that in this season,normally rf îs much more OP in other servers.From the start rf was OP and admin did Something about it.
As I've said it is true that now rf may be OP ,but it is overpowered cuz ii can rise his dmg a lot ,till the opponents have enough def and HP .It îs true what ADMIN said about agi rf ,his Power in the end will be limited ,cuz If not i would add 34k agi to match your end game state .
Some of you said to lower the DS range .If You test ,a summ Sm and DL can hit a RF from a distance that ragefighter cant hit them ,but as i see You are capable just of crying and no testing .I am a RF and those range thing happened when fighting : PornStar,Skitch,Kumaniok,Gh0st and some others .Why don't they complain ? Cuz they know how to play .
I've said it before ,dieeee ,no one cried when You fought 5 players in arena in the same tine and won,so keep your mouth shut.You all had access to test server ,it is free not a privilege ,so go and test .Dieee If You were a fair player ,You would have cried about your mg killing each boss and also going to CS and same time solo-ing .At the moment rf can just pvp .Și stop this non sense .U cant use attack speed buffs cuz u personally choose a build that doesn't let you.
As for those DL tanks in CS .You all chose the DL to tank .Change Race in BK ,make agi vit build ,get a set and what a surprize ? U can tank better ! 
I was prezent ar CS and was dissapointed ,most powerful players from Hardcore(, not tanks) held the switches .The tanks ...where going to kill Oklahoma ....No Buffs No parties .
Guys ...help your existing rf guild mates ...make a strategy and go buffed to the castele as they did ...and You will win ....
Also ,get an EE for CS to complete guys
 

At least I can not complain about OSGM. 
My guys are always backing me up! 

Hello there.
I would like to announce you something that was inevitable, before that I'll say a few words.
Most of you remember me from both sides, as a player which I've been for a long time since I joined OldSquad community, and from the OS Staff member side. I decided to stop playing MU at the beginning of Inception project, while I was convinced I'll be able atleast to handle my current Game Manager duties, that was caused by time that became very limited in my case. Unfortunately I was barely able to handle basic things since the new OS project started, that's the main reason I had to tell you that personally, I'm no longer able to handle my role as it supposed to be. This is the day I want to announce you my Game Manager role has ended. But...
Don't be so happy yet, i'm not leaving OS community at all, just because of that i'm mostly inactive doesn't mean that I won't watch you from behind the scene from time to time From this day my role will be changed to a simple Helper, I'll be available on forum as a support so you can send me PM anytime, i'll be visiting you ingame while time will let me do that also. This is not a goodbye for sure
After It's done, I would like to thank you all for the active time spent together untill now, that was few good years with awesome OS community, I'm glad I was part of it & I was rewarded with a lot of new friendships even with those who I had to quarrel with at the beginnig and I was rewarded also with a huge exprience in both aspects, player & staff role 🙃 Again BIG THANKS to all of you!
I would like to thank also whole OS Staff that we current have @Gion , @Reporter & those who were with us in the past & for their contribution.
and especially to : @ADMIN
This is the person who I argued the most since I began my journey with OldSquad.
Trust me or not but I threw a meat at him few times per week for the first months i played here with multiple of reasons, about class stats, game mechanics , minor bugs , cheats that were working, unballance etc etc... God bless him for his patience🤣 . At the end, after I started to understand his hard job, I decided to try find out a solutions and suggest them instead of blaming him that something doesn't work. With a time our discussions brought some positive effects so I decided to take my chance and help to upgrade OS projects as much as I could, partly being voice of players also., That's how I reached this point, my contribution has done and I'm glad I could have been here for so long.
 
I wanted to put some more words there but didn't want to get you bored at the beginning of reading this 🤣
See you in game,  Cheers !🍻

Hello,
Phoenix edition has reached its deadline and due to the amount of players left active there is no point in keeping it online longer than it was granted.
I am personally proud of what Phoenix achieved, born from NonReset mistakes it reached a very high quality level for its first edition, a quality that wasn't touched on any of our previous projects, in my opinion. It was also the server with the least problems. The only (bigger) downside it had was the population, it barely reached 580+ online but it was really stable in terms of population (some good months without getting lower neither bigger). But it is understandable, it was a pretty new concept that was hard to understand without playing it (non reset fans were afraid of the optional resets while reset fans were afraid of non reset stats), judging from advertisements and on first view, without reading info.
It wasn't perfect, but it was really good, and due to your honest feedback across its life-time, we expect the next edition to be even greater!
The 2nd edition will start somewhere between February and April, in 2020.
As for now, Phoenix will be closed tomorrow (22.11.2019) between 20:00 and 23:00.
HoF has been updated: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3047-hof-edition-22-march-2019-22-november-2019/
Thanks to everyone that took part in this project and especially to those that kept playing it on the long run!

BALR + 3 warning points of forum for BL => 24h post restriction

BALR + 3 warning points of forum for BL => 24h post restriction

Dunno whats true and whats not as i just joined the game 2 days ago.. But its nice to have such a post  regarding a castle siege makes for an interesting and creative read lol ( unlike anything i have seen in the games i have played so far ) Its a nice concept.

Welcome !
Enjoy

Nice
Them beats sound really nice, but my opinion is that you should improve your mastering.

Hello, we are GMT+3, and the hours for rabbits are: 4:45, 12:45, 20:45

We would love to keep Zen important at all stages of the game, without affecting newbies experience.
So, we're up for suggestions
L.E: Until now the idea of a moss gambler with crazy prices and chances to get from trash weapons up to good weapons with a low rate doesn't seems bad, IMO.

(Νot in game anymore but) If i recall right ADMIN lowered the cost of each RR on patch Patch 3.1.1.2 - 16.09.2019. by a lot n total  
Maybe you could increase it back?  

We asked the devs to find a solution, but they said that it is not (fully) on their side, plus the machine on which the server is hosted is not at 100% usage, but it is even around 50-60%.
Buuut the server was not closed in a while(it is up since early testing period), and it might have some old loops -any machine needs a restart from time to time-, so we will have a maintenance in one of the following days, fact that is allowing us to do a system restart. 
Hopefully we will see less lags after it.

SM:
Mana Shield: Max Rate: 30%. Formula: 2(%) + (AGI/700)(%) + (ENE/3500)(%). Duration: 60(seconds) + (ENE/80)(seconds). According to this formula you should have about 2+ 0,57 mana shield damage reduction. A.k.a. less than 3%. 
You can/SHOULD read more about characters here 
 

Yes, it is nerfed intentionally. It has a 2% initial damage decrease and increases up to 30%.
Formula: 2(%) + (AGI/700)(%) + (ENE/3500)(%).
