Will the new server have:

1. Slower exp/lvling and that means you wont make skills like Hallucination useless after a certain point ?
2. Lower rate of drops on things like :Orbs/Gem/High lvl gear ?
3. A definitive monster lvl that's posted on your site also that wont be changed on the fly after people lvled ?

Best of luck to you Samuel with your work on new server.

Now is the time to post of any known issues and bugs. And to list them in a nice easy way to read.

E.g.

Gold - Gold is too easy to obtain on the current Ace server. Lower sale prices of certain items or the drop rate of them items.
Level33 Armours for example, selling at 20k+ each and drop quite frequently. Kill 1 IWT and you get about 4... That's around 100k.

Gems/Orbs - Chance of a gem working is currently too high. Orbs drop too easily.
Suggestion: Make gems fail more often, not so they always destroy items but just the "Gem failed".
Take out Lesser orbs and make normal Orbs much rarer.

Runes - Make them drop less.

I actually loved the lesser orb idea, it added a dynamic to the mid level economy where new players could find items that are actually valuable to higher level players. As opposed to everything under a certain threshold is junk, unless you win a lottery and land +4 stats on something.

Gems are coded differently than on official and its likely because the cap is set at 7 stats whereas everything but armor (and weapon bar refining) was capped at 5 on official. We would see alot more breaks and no effects with it set to 5.

Also armors I think are maybe double what they were on official servers. Wiz and taos can barely pickup armors especially iron as their bag weight is pitiful, so gold on the server is likely primarily from the direct to bag gold drops. People often skipped picking up gold on servers, now everyone gets it automatically.

Edit: The culprits for stats on the server are slots and added stats for gems/orbs being up to +7.

---------- Post Merged at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous Post was at 04:35 PM ----------

People that are concerned with server 'flooding' of high level items have to keep in mind that there are lots of bosses all day long for a small number of players. Not only that, but people want more content and more content means more loot. If there were 1000+ players the loot distribution would take alot longer because of the ratio of bosses/mobs to players.

Lesser orbs made it too easy to make good kit from noob gear especially at the rate they dropped, majority of my kit was items below 30 which I just orbed up. I do agree tho its a good idea and I enjoyed using them but it got to point where lower level items had a big advantage over +30 gear. If they are included next server id like to see ac/amc only, make them rarer and have a limit where they cant be used +3 or sumthing.

Slotted items have to be rarer aswell maybe cap it at 2 slots, runes rarer also. And gems were too easy here and didn't get harder after each upgrade, was lucky enough to make a few items +7 on gems alone.

As for the exp this was x8? Think x4 would be a nice rate, longevity but not too grindy. Group exp rates imo should be tweaked a bit because on here groups just slowed u down especially if u were a wiz. Group exp buffs should go aswell I think cos stuff like that always gets exploited.

Guild cap wud be good too keep it competitive

+1 i agree with this decision totally.

I will add a care package npc on current AM2 server which will take note of your character name and level and if you are above 40-50 which will reward you with a starter package in v2.

Sam
I know its early days, but lots of people targeted specifically 50 wasting a lot of time on it looking back. Package for 40+? or a package for 40+ and another for 50+?

I don't think a package is even required. This is a fresh start. A server the way YOU wanted it and probably should of been at the start so having a better server should be enough for people. Also I don't know if this has been mentioned but mounts really shouldn't work in caves!
