Hi Staff,

I used to play Ace mir 2, along with many others playing beta chronicles incl myself, on ace the game was good but apart from drops and cash, atm playing chronicles i feel like its the same as ace, and struggle to survive when it comes to exspence, could u atleast tweak the mobs to drop more semi rare items or cash, as its makeing the game play boring, as there nothing to determine to level for, even in euro you got a OSR from PB if you were lucky on here its triple lucky to get even one drop.

god i hope they havnt removed the chance of a rare drop from normal mobs!

no idea why they nerfed the gold drop rates, to make gold have more use? i remember gold having enough use to buy rares from other players on ace

golds going to be that hard to save up probaly going to end up trading items for items :O

Gold has been upped 4 times already, it's perfectly fine now, from what i've read some people saying they barely have to buy pots, because the drops rates have also been increased.

And i doubt they've removed the rares from normal mobs Pand :)

Should always have a chance of semi rares from normal mobs.

It keeps people interested in levelling/grinding knowing they have some chance of a drop.

Take BC for example, I levelled a lot there on Ace, even at level42+ I was grinding in BC as it's nice and easy. I had a few (2 maybe 3) DragonBraces drop there. Nothing major, and 2-3 in the whole of that time is not really a lot. But was always a nice little drop, especially at lower level.

Re: Cash & Drops

I 101% agree, and without it causes loss of interest, drops make people determined. its not just about killing people and pvp after all.

but why change it in the first place? its not like it never had a use! and you always get people that like to hoard everything like gold!

after each silly little tweak its "fine now" then after another its "fine now!" just restore it to how it was, theres starting to be too many changes to things that arnt broken

they keep changing things people dont complain about then they get pissed cause people moan about it having been changed!

i dont think ive seen a response to why it was changed yet from the team

I'm not sure what the trade limit or gold cap was on Ace, or is on Chronicles but I hope I never reach it. The GoldBars/GoldChest idea that's been ingame since Mir2 EU is ridiculous.

I personally like the idea of having to farm/mine for gold, it stretches out the content. My only worry atm is Mana consumption on some classes making their leveling costs too extreme but we're still w8ing on some mana regen skills to be changed/added so won't judge too early.

1. Farming is good - but boring with out a Bonus book drop or item

2. Euro had cetain places for farming, but still had its drops from semi bosses, and PB/FC

3.Fox cave drops stones/books/and urber books if you were really lucky

4. if you cannot pvp your fooked

5.if your not popular your fooked.

6.if your in a high level guild and get all bosses then get booted your fooked.

lol it needs to be taken into considertion solo and mini group hunting is important, and thats what made Euro Mir. back in its day. with out these Bonus drops / Gold pile drops / mini hunts it wont compair it to any other server made, and will go back to plain boring no purpose hunts but level -_- not fun!

if a private server is not going to include drops from normal mobs, then it wont work and people will fall asleep at the desk, because i did with ace.!!!!

cash is fine and drops are fine, at most their is 20 people killing things including my self. to say at this time the drops need upping is slightly silly when 100+ people are going to be smashing every caves mobs 24/7. items will start dropping, dont increase the drops, just be sure mobs can drop semi rares. and as for gold please make it auto share :P

everyone atm will have there own opinion, subjected to the server, but i just hope gms add drops to normal mobs and semi bosses, to keep the game going and make people want to play more. and it would also be a good idea to make the game open Beta. for those who have been waiting a while, considering most noob bugs have been fixed.

so long as enuff gold drops to cover pot expense at the very least! thats fine.
When its so rare you gotta go cashing or borrow 50K for pots before a hunt its bollox, and becomes a chore.
Also if its difficult to make enuff for pots, then there be no fkin heals or buffs.

Sam said.. We are adjusting gold as we go along.

The aim is to ensure that gold is worth having.

Sam.


Im not quite sure wtf that means tbh. its always worth having, wether your saving 5m for that purple added dildo or just hoarding for the day that mir armour arrives on TM.

There will always be people with 100m when most have 20m, crap gold drops will just reduce it and make things a chore. some will now have 20m and now most will have 3m etc.
i thought it was fine on Ace if im honest.

its always better to have the option to increase drops than take them away

But you played USA. Assuming its the same person behind the player name.. Nothing at all dropped there. Everything came from events.

Too many rares dropped on Ace at the start anyway. Things did change which must be when you started falling asleep

that was an official and it wouldn't surprise me why there was no drops, it was purely down to ££££, hence to proceed in level you had to buy to get into a cave for more exp.
