Books, yes books.

The thing isn't the drop rates, the problem is not many people play 1 Mir server for a long long time. It isn't an official server, it could go down whenever it wanted, tho I doubt it will with its team.

The private server scene has experienced too many high rates, and it has made everyone used to drops that are not extremely low.

I am not a low rate fan, but from what I experienced in this server it is very well created. I would even be tempted on coming back with better drops.

I honestly think this server would have a very low population if everyone had access to the files they created.

I like it that the try to rush ahead and be 5+ levels higher aren't having it all their own way. Seems odd to set exp rate higher and include exp pots if the aim is to slow people.
Maybe the exp pots should have been added after the first wave of players, giving late arrivals a chance to catch up.
Playing without all the 40 + skills was how you did it on euro. Some skills were introduced after most people had levelled past when they could use them. Cannot remember which ones though
Agree people have got used to having all the skills right away and levelling til they are far ahead of most. Perhaps not having the higher level skills available is another way of slowing levelling speed.
Those that play to own will get discouraged. Those that play cos they like the game wont mind.

I think what isn't being remembered is 13 years ago most of us didn't have the responsibilities most have now. Therefore you could stick the hours in day after day. I'd be willing to say most people who have returned to play now, certainly don't have the time to put in more than a few hrs a day. If this is coupled to the fact that you 'have' to put hrs and hrs in to get a drop, then you will get the people with zero responsibilities able to get all the rares from camping hour after hour, week after week. The problem becomes exemplified because these people then have great kits with all the skills, so at future boss fights they can win everytime.

I think perhaps a poll might be interesting, as regards to the amount played per week in the past, compared to the amount that a player can manage now. Personally, I was a student for first 3 years of mir, no kids, no wife and didn't own a car or house. I prob played easy 50+ hrs a week, currently I'm lucky if I can get on for maybe 10 -15 hrs in a week, and then it's evenings when the user count is peak and there is much bigger competition for mobs/bosses.

 

[terriblen]

Agree dorf.
That's one of the thing I like. Seen it on a few servers that some groups can get ahead of the rest by putting in the hours at the start of the server and like you say they get the bosses win the fights etc because the majority are 5 -10 levels lower. Yes sometimes there are individuals who can out play a group all 5+ higher but there aren't many of those.

Sorry this is Mir not WoW.

I'm lucky to get 10-15 hours a week myself, but just because my situation has changed then the whole game should change and revolve around me?

lol no

Nailed.

Pretty much what i wanted to say.

I play after work from 6-10 most nights and more at weekend. Still lvl 40, with deva/ue. Maybe its how you use the hours in game?
I leech off exp from my guild members and attend most hunts i can when i log in.

Most on here sit in sz of BW/MW moaning on forums.

Moaning about the moaners=win, must be nice to have 30-40 hours a week to blow on mir/forum holier than thou, eh?

 

[alison87]

Euro was introduced in stages, so people didn't know wat to expect, now they do. U will never again emulate a euro server. Ive played several servers since euro, including mir2 usa which was official and not HR, and lasted 3 yrs. All the pre 40 skills there and on other servers ive played have been shop books.Really, it doesn't harm anything, theres plenty of 40+ rare content. Not even asking for these items to be common, just they wasn't barely dropping at all. Got to give people some motivation.

 

[ventus]

People crying for books. Probs only hunted a hand full of bosses.
Curse10/noname/dd have most books because they put the time in at bosses.

Now people keep moaning for items etc, the gms up the drop rate, which pisses ppl off who have put in the time to get ahead.

I agree with what Adv is implying. This game is being run by moans from people who want everything for little effort. Server will turn into HR before long.

You have always been prickish towards me, but I agree with what you say.

Im in the same boat, working full time... I get 2 hours to play a day at most, but that doesnt mean the game should be easymode. There are plenty of easymode servers out there, might be time to try one of those out.

In a few months time when everyones finally got their books, people will want endgame items to be easymode as well.

Point Click Easymode ;D

The server being free, online and having a population of over 500 at peak is motivation enough to keep me going.
The lot of you are acting like this one wont last, have some ungodly faith.

Smoke me a kipper, Ill be back for breakfast!

 

[oO~Unknown~Oo]

You all have to understand that euro days are over, whats the point in doing something that alreadys been done and dusted? It was fun back then but not many people like back in the day have time like they do now, most of us have grown up, have kids, work, go uni etc. Also taken into account the exp rate on here is a lot faster than on euro but the drop rate is pretty poor. If they was both at a constant speed then fair but it just doesn't make sense when your 40+ with most skills and kit missing. Fair enough kit are rare, so be it, but skills are essential seriously, we need motivation to keep going. As a tao, its hard without most skills to do some soloing alone, I have to always have somebody with me to level. And really. im missing masshealing, since when was that like extremely rare?

Server is fine imo, its just too slow. Everything is so slow.

I logged on FH earlier and saw only 79 users on, but 20 of those were fighting in BW. And i enjoyed it.

Then a boss shout said there was some boss out so we all went there and had a n1 scrap over that.

No reason that cant happen here, only without the massive winged armours and high stats, but it just doesnt. Cant be forced either.

You can argue "high rates are fast paced short lived". Yeah, they are. But theres no reason a Low/Med Rate cant have a bit of action.. Some HighRates lasted near 2 years. Id rather have 1-2 years of fun than 5 years of slow boring grinding.

I dunno, just my 2p. Not every1 likes having fun ;p

Should go to boss fights more often.

We scrap over pretty much every boss now.

lmao moaning on forums, where did I moan? I merely stated a fact that affects me personally, I wish I could play 6-10 every day, simple fact is I can't, more important stuff and all that, I was simply explaining why the people being labelled moaners are actually at the disadvantage. You guys in curse10 are fantastic, I'd honestly swop what I have for the awesomeness that is your game.. honestly, re-read what you just wrote in 5 years, you might even get what I was trying to say.

edit: actually re-read it now, I'm in awe of your fantastic life lol.

 

[d1craig]

I agree completely. Books shouldn't be rare and it they have to be rares or it for the like of - FF, MEteorstrike, blizzard, Rage and profield, curse, poisoncloud and that new shield heal thing.

As much as I think some books should be rare it think that non of the new books should be rare - slashingburst etc. Alot people will be playing this server because of all the new skills/spells they saw in the video that was around advertising what is new in AceM2 ( whether the content used in the video is going to be used on this is another thing ).

if you look carefully you can see that archers staticshot uses a skill that would have been something along the lines of chain SFB for taos.

atleast 3 cool looking warriors skills in that video
