there listening to moaning cause they want to keep the user count no othe reason, and i dont know why everyone is comparing this to official, its a private server with times 2-3 Xp....the reason everyone is complaining is because its much easier to level but isn't much easier to get items, nobody has time to play this for hours everyday (only a few) and it's the ones who can geek this server that arnt complaining because they get the chance to camp bosses

But....I'm not a Geek!

I love being level 12

Im the same don't have time to camp bosses all day and when I'm on I tend to level this is why I think mobs drops need tweaking.

It depends what people class as a rare lol. I think proper rares are just the right drop rate tbh. Im really glad there doesn't seem to be any Flame fields, heaven arms etc yet. In my opinion though any skill under 40 shud only be semi rare to common... lvl 26 weps shudnt be rare at all, 30 weps vaguely semi rarish, 30+ weps rareish, 40 weps ofc rare, yet 500 ppl playing daily in over a month cant get a 30+ wep drop? I think certain items and skills drops 26-40 cud do wiv a little tweak but in general im happy everything isn't common and worthless.


Completely agree not asking for 40 items to be dropping like moral rings but would be better if this system was implemented.

Im sick of the whole "euro was harder blah blah brainfart"
this isnt euro for **** sake... 90% of the people on this server used to play this game when they were in their teens.... when they had **** all commitments and alot of free time.
Now people have jobs and commitments and cant put 7-8 hours worth.of.time into it anymore.
The ones replying to this thread saying "drops are fine quit whining" are the ones who are still clinging onto euro and not thinking it had any faults... or have no jobs or social lives.
its 2014 better games than this are successful and less of a grind so it can be done.

One of the best parts about euro was you could log on if you had a spare hour do a solo hunt and log off... none of this group only ****.
People play this game for nostalgia.. community...pvp. Not because its good or because its hard (lol).
The game is a grind.... youre supposed to get out what you put in.... the only problem is with this server atm is that youre putting alot in for what seems like **** all.

Thats why people are getting frustrated so the ones who are telling them to quit moaning need to take their massive epeen and be gone.

Rant over

Here's what you do, get your new found warrior (everyone seems to be rolling warriors) and get him/her to level 40 with TDB (Alright we're halfway there). Save up around 1.2mill and buy yourself a firebloodsword and a couple of D Rings (almost done!). Stick on a couple of sharp braces (Accuracy 23, you ain't gnna miss that boss!), take two rows of med sunnies and 80 hp/mp to BDD. Solo yourself a KS, KH and IZT to top it off. Nice quick solo hunting for you. Though I'd stear clear of trying to solo IWT, they seem to have some insane agility. Beware of PK and don't forget your tiger necklace.

More spare time? Go and find the RTZ on floor 3 and floor 4 of ZT, and if your really committed go look for the one in the maze.

Don't tell me this can't be done because this is what I've done.

What you said is correct, subs bosses can be killed. But at peak times like falk was saying these wont exsist.

also are you still using a firebloodsword and crap after camping these subs and main bosses

Exactly what im working towards
Its really that easy tbh :/ ....

its depressing reading all these moan threads lol. I get maybe 12 hours a week to play? sometimes not even that? I aint incredibly rich and I dont have a **** load of rare items. But I still dont see no reason behind moaning so much? :/

An increase in drops would quickly upset the balance that the game has atm. It doesn't matter if you copper rings or power rings, great axes or slayers because then you'd still be doing the exact same damage as everyone else, the average dps would just be higher.

I'm guessing the problem is with most is that they've associated death gauntlets, coral rings, wizrobes and leather belts as being low level items there are trash. I guarantee if every item in this game had a different look it would change the vast majority of opinion on what the current drop rates are because everyone's got in their head that "a coral ring is 2 stages below a power ring"

Nah i just think that a few of the level 40's around are fed up of donig the same damage as they did at lvl 26 bud.

The sad reality is, more and more people will quit due to a lack of drops etc, than will quit if there are a couple more.

I highly doubt there will be anywhere near as many "cry threads" about items being TOO common..

I got a SerpentSword last night.

From what i seen in game, crystal armors, maces, p rings, titans, etc.. seems ok to me, if i seen a level 36 weapon at this stage i would be shocked but some people suggesting level 40 skills and items? seriously get a grip.

And that's the sad reality of it these days, it's the now generation. People want everything given to them for nothing, some of the people who are crying about drops are known exploiters on previous servers... Did they moan and cry while they were exploiting getting rich? Did they hell.

People have become accustom to games being too easy, it's why this server has attracted a lot of people again because it's low rate and has the same magic that euro has.

The drops maybe low but so is the cash rate people wont have the money to buy decent items if dropped, most of the prices people sell are stupid too

Seriously. I like how these moan threads always tag on to the end of them ''more and more people are leaving'' or the like, yet there's very little variation in the user count at all. Seen so many of these threads predicting a mass exodus lol.

If YOU don't like it and don't enjoy it, stop playing?

don't no what server you have been playing, But here on Chronicles...The User count is massively down compared to what it was 2 week back! night time i'm seeing 4-500( was 700+) daytime im seeing 200/250 tops...used to be 350-400

+1

Server still peaks at 550+ players on a decent (or weekend) day and I have never seen it below 400 during the evenings. Guy above me is talking **** about user count being low. The server is doing perfectly fine, people are moaning but they'll still play because this is the only decent server out there for months.

I like it how it is. Rare's are rare. When you get one, you know for a fact you won't see it again for at least a week or two - this makes you feel "special" (hurr durr)

What would be the point if everyone could get the rare items so easily? This isn't a high rate where you'll have a new kit each week, so I suggest you learn to deal with it and put the effort in.

i think if you add a couple of semi rareish items to normal mob drop files (like osr to PB mobs or fox items to foxes, on a very very low rate)
it might help knowing that u have a chance of somthing semi decent while u grind like on euro, then again they may already be in there and just aint seen it yet.
At the moment tho it seems like they are trying to recreat the euro progression entirely, but i honestly dont remember drops being this bad on euro, i played from beta, quit for a year n came back n played till end, dont recall items being as rare as they seem to be here though, and yes you can say "server been up xx weeks" well yeh, but its not like people arnt killing most of the major bosses all day every day and getting lvl 15-20 items for thier troubles, or grinding the **** out of pastbichon and not seeing anything better than a coral ring, on many servers everyone knew you could go hunt normal mobs for certain nice items (FF of fire minos- curse/ba off ghouls in MM) at a very reduced rate.

I think you should have kept the drop files/rates from ace and just lowered the rate of certain things and added the chance of a semi decent item from norm mobs, just my 2p.
