are there any plans in the pipeline for the newer added euro caves? (Lunar/RedCave etc)

I've also noticed the higher level wiz spells are level 99 - are there any plans for these to be usable in the near future?

i can see this becoming quite stale very quickly if the only options are the old school euro caves

It is/was Euro for launch for stability/foundation reasons, I'm just finishing the New GreatFoxSpirit AI/Mechanics, I'll either work on some of the spells or a new cave after this.

I think spells can wait. We need some new caves/items to spread people out/give a new challenge.

With spells unlocking at levels it would only mean grinding in the same available caves to get it and back to the same problem of no new content.

You don't want to keep adding caves upon caves. That's how you very quickly kill your own server.

I'll be honest, people are still nowhere near end-game kit that was achieved in beta. People are only just beginning to gem their kits and there's only 2? 3? 40 weps ingame.

There's really no rush for content or items right now, spells and finishing the rest of your current content are imo more of a priority. Don't let people bully you into thinking otherwise or you'll fall into the trap of people demanding "new" every week and you will never keep up.

Agree with Kori. Do not rush.

I think you should consider the server in "phases" once the current phase goes stale, drop phase 2. Multiple caves, new spells and new items all in one go.
You want to replicate the 0-40 feeling you have managed to capture.
Its no secret that only the hardcore stick around when the grind gets too much, id love to see a phase 2 where the exp required for 40-50 is reduced to match the current 35-45 ignoring the % people have done already so that every phase brings back that "race" feeling that really makes mir.

P.s. Selling > 2.5m pm me.

Server is fine, most people have not even hit 40 yet, Lkria got like 3 people leveling his character thats why hes so high, nobody has a heaven armour, 43 weapon, no great fox kit. No need for any new content untill people are hitting 44-45 mark.

A few issues wiht game that need addressing in my opinion:

Sins can be considered Overpowered in pvp however get 2 hit by most boss's ingame.
Wizards can solo most bosses ingame especially with a tao... - unfair on melee classes.

Bugs & glitches need fixing. ( The light at top left screen every so often is really annoying, Jamie! )

Overpowered/Underpowered items/spells/classes need attention.

New flinch mechanics still need tweaking.

Tons of people need to still hit level 40.

There is still very few if any top tier items being worn or dropped by players.

Plus a lot more..

I'm sure Jamie has a roadmap of the direction he wants to take the server and the content he wants to roll out to us. If you roll it out to soon then it just ruins your server.

Have faith in him, the server is a week old.

That's a top notch dank meme if I ever saw one.

For those not in the loop, cast your eyes upon the beauty that is chronicles forums.

<Tangent> Am I the only one who thinks balance between all 4 equal kitted level 40+ characters is actually... fine as it is? I've seen every class die to every class, I've seen cries that every class is overpowered, every class is underpowered.

Despite that, it could not be any easier to re-roll a character with the 50% exp boost to account-bound characters even if you truly despise the one you're playing or feel you'd be better off on a "different one".

People haven't even gotten rage/lvl 3 ff/poisoncloud/metstrike/blizzard/<insert op spell here> yet. That's when **** hits the fan, chill out people. W̶i̶n̶t̶e̶r Jamie is coming. :lol </Tangent>

I played around with this Idea 2 or so years ago (very early days of my C# testing).

In the end it would have been a catastrophic flop.

A: You cannot just simply add Mir 3 Characters / Skills / Images, You need to actually build Mir 3 with Mir 3 Interface. (Solvable; massive work)
B: You cannot use Mir 2 Engine because Mir 3 feels significantly different to play, You cannot change this because that is part of the Mir 3 feel. (Solvable; massive work)
C: You cannot have Mir 3 play style with Mir 2 because the Balance would be so far out Mir 2 characters would stand literally no chance, (Dragon Repulsion anyone)? (Impossible to Solve because of D)
D: Lets just say you did manage to Balance and they were on an "even footing", You would have broken the Mir 3 feel by significantly reducing the stats.

If it wasn't for the balancing issue I would have continued with the project 2+ years ago and It's why I release what is not know as Crystal Files (I took the Mir 3 stuff out).

What you are left with is a Half baked imitation of Mir 3, all that work for such a little chance of bringing in the Mir 3 players, just isn't worth pursuing.

Wiz/tao combo has almost always managed to kill most bosses ingame, with a smart pet wall and some half decent MC the sky is your limit, if you have a brain that is and dont try to facetank every boss ingame ^^

Honestly, I expect jamie in the future with future content will start creating some very creative boss AI's. Should be interesting.
