Mentioned this with the Dark Armours to Sam and another GM (forget which) MANY MANY times over the last couple of months. Ridiculous how there has been ONE lvl 48 armour dropped, and I'd guess at around 30 Dark Armours and 5+? HA's approx.
People do report things being to easy or hard, not exactly fair to lump ALL the blame on the players when GMs don't respond to some important feedback. Suddenly changing mobs we've had for months without any prior warning out of nowhere isn't the way to go about it if that's what happened.

/Twisted
We haven't changed any mobs, not as far as I know anyway.

Also wasn't lumping all the blame on players, I noticed this week of been a GM and watching people that certain things are dropping too easy, so I've tried to tone them down a little bit, without going all out nerf.

I have also lowered the drop rate for the RedSkull too, as I feel OKR should be more common than it is.

What about EM?

See my EM thread for details.

Glad OKR's been made more common, this is good, but Dark armors definitely need to be made RARER and not left as they are, they're an easilyy making too many people overpowered easily. Won't be long before people start gemming/breaking them.

Mobs in frozen been changed? TU dont seem to work anymore

On a positive note, this thread was created less than 24 hours ago and it is already approaching 3k views, servers definitely doing well population wise :)

The players want it changed back because they aren't used to the new casting speeds. But if you gave it a week, 90% of the cries would have stopped, the usercount still the same, and wizzies still the most played class.

If people reroll to warriors, GOOD. They weren't true wizard players in the first place, they picked the class just cause it was overpowered.

/rant over
Seen lot people are wiz here that aren't ususally because they expect to be among the most powerful group either because they level so much faster or because some of the skills make wiz very very powerful(maybe op). Take away the auto pots or at least take away the auto suns and things will change and balance between the classes. The casting speeds are bound to affect the balance but I would leave it a week or so and then make another poll.

chill out, i cant even solo 1 EM

with tao maybe i can kill 1 (never tried) and run out of pots even before this patch......

dunno what u guys talking about?

-

about auto pot suns wtf is player for if game pot for u ?? nice to remove auto pot suns w/e class i be

its the player skill that make difference, game should never pot for you, does food goes from plate to your stomach itself?

/Son
OK if its just the player skill, lets see you play without the +++++++ kit which you seem to acquire within minutes/days of starting any server you play. DO you skill stuff in average kit then you be believed. Have one of the best war kits on the server(like every other place) and no one believes its about skill. Yes gale items shouldn't be gemmed. Take out auto pots and do something about gemming success and items with slots shoudnt be gemmable. If wiz are OP then this combination of gems and slots makes players OP too.

I think more along the lines off balanced, clearly the population is up in arms.

Leveling as a tao has been wrecked and wizards have become sitting ducks to the mass dc/a-speed.

So no it would be a level playing field or a move in the correct direction.

Not at this time I'm afraid. Sam himself has only just got home from work so obviously he want's to get settled before we make any decision.


No problem, fingers crossed a decision (good or not) ismade soon and All feedback is taken into consideration.

Personally, the cast rate seems pretty fair given that tonnes of Warriors have additional A-Speed on their kit. Voted to revert for this reason.

People managed it on euro, can't do the same? you want your fast leveling, you want to be able to own in pvp, sorry but your a support class, neither of these a tao can do, should of picked a different class.

I would say that's fairly outdated look for a game that has evolved so much

I don't care about pvp as mentioned multiple times.

This isnt about 'fast' leveling, we never had that to begin with, what we have now is levelling that most Will consider abysmal.

I picked my class based on what the server offered, in this case it was a far more fluid style of tao gameplay that felt faster paced. Something that has been removed.

tl;dr - Not everything revolves around pvp and tao levelling has Been reduced to nothing.

In response to people doing it on Euro bare inmind A-speed was different and much harder to obtain.
