Whats with all the moan threads/posts about drops? this is supposed to be a low rate server similar to euro mir.. Its supposed to be a challenge, not an easy high rate where everyone has everything.

Personally i love the idea of 'rares', its a concept that has been missing form the game for a long time. Brings back memories of the feeling you get when finding a rare!

The best times on euro was when items and skills were rare and not everybody had everything.. It makes the game much more interesting - for instance; you never know who can do what skill, so pvp tactics become more diverse.

Back in the days of the 1.4 there were much less skills and items to find, but the game was still brilliant, over years skills and items were gradually added so there was much more time to allow for items to drop, so over the course of 10 years+ then yes everyone had everything towards the last few years.. I would expect by at least 6 month+ into the server we start to see chars with all skills..

If you guys aren't up for the challenge then why are you playing a low rate server?

Over 20% of the server is 40+ at the moment. All of the top 25 for every class is 40. Yet of them I'd say 4-5% have lv30+ weps. 3 Jmaces, 3 SSW's 1 zuma blades...wsb's/scythes were dropping off bone captain once a week on euro immediately after being introduced. More people hunt that cave on this server than i ever saw there.

As much as this server is great, I doubt people will be playing it for 10 years like euro. Also its 3x exp, having drops at 1x doesn't make any sense.

If people were not 14 levels above there highest skill I would agree.

With that alone level 44 in a month is not low rate like euro. So to compare this to euro rates is wrong. I think everyone would rather have level 26 maybe even 30 weps if there 40+.

The people that have geeked it to 40± have a better chance with killing bosses, its just gonna be a grind to find anything thats all.. You cant expect a rare every kill.. Jesus it took at least a year to get to 40 on euro in the old days.. People seem to have out leveled the drop rate that's all

When pb came in it took 3 to 4 weeks to get to 40 if I remember. And now we have higher caves. People were not moaning about bosses it was the imbalance between levels vs skills vs shop kits.

This.

People are acting like people are moaning to have a DSS drop everyday or something.. not the case at all. Trolls who are against upping the rates just come on here saying "Blah blah u want it easy blah blah" need to stfu its getting tiring.

OP is acting like people have hit 26 and are now crying because they cant find a great axe after one hunt.... we have lvl 40 wariors running around in firebloodswords.
People dont want amazing kits after one hunt pull your heads out of your asses they just want kit that is above lvl ****ing 20. A 40 warrior running around in corals and norm dgs. A 40 wiz running around in expel rings and a hooked spear.... no.

In my opinion items upto lvl 30 so say dring, rubies, life neckies, gale necks. should be RELATIVELY easy to aquire... same goes for mage staffs gaxes etc and then you make the tier of items above the same as they are now. Powers vios jmaces wms, wsb scythe etc rare... and obv 40 stuff extremely rare.

Thats the way it was on euro.

Who gives a **** if captain nerdburger has geeked himself to lvl 43 and bossed 13 hours a day and now has kit no one else has? This game doesnt revolve around him.

+1

if they wanted this to truly be a low rate server exp should never of been upped in the first place. This is closer to a med rate server

This is just a false statement, almost everyone in Curse10 has 1/2/3/4 skills that are level 33+, I have also seen a NoName wiz with mirroring. The skills are there in the drops, not rare at all (we probably get 1-2-3 a day) you just need to actually go out and hunt bosses instead of PB.

Drop rates way too high.

now I can handle the fact there will always be Speed hacks. People running around with no torches. Botting... same old mir problems but drops are insanely high now...

Decrease drop rates please to old euro mir and the game will be worth playing again.

What I don't really understand about the community and people posting is the sheer black and white nature of all these threads. It is akin to the nVidia / AMD fanboi arguments you see all over the internet.

Surely it is possible for people to agree that there is a middle ground here, that there is an issue, without shooting each other down at every opportunity? If we were all constructive in our feedback it would be easier for the admins to filter out the noise and address the issues that are prevalent.

As I said in another thread and as has already been said in this thread the issue isn't that this is a low rate server, it isn't that people don't want that "euro feel" (although nothing is ever as you remembered it with those rose coloured specs on). What people are concerned about is the sheer lack of mid-tier items and inexplicable rarity of some of the skills.

So last I looked we have an average online count of 500 in the evenings/weekends (which is impressive, so good job!), of that the top 100 players are all 41+ now. That is 20% of the server in higher level areas, killing bosses regularly, surely at some point the item economy should be working??

The fact is there are bugs, there are issues, that is to be expected. What isn't expected is for members of the community to blindly paint over the cracks without any thought.

+4 to that count since logging on this morning.

Seems they are catering to the moaners. Seen more books dropped today/yest since update than I have in a week lol.

Wonder if they've made items easier to get. That'd be funny.

Just wanted to point out that not 20% of the players are 41+, 20% of the players online are 41+, there will be well over 500 players just not all online at the same time.

I really think people like you should be on a High rate server.
Literally want everything now.

The pathetic thing is, the team are listening to the vocal minority.

The user count has remained near 500, surely that speaks volumes.
Dissapointed with the changes if im honest.

Who knows if there's an invocal supriority but doesn't care to whine about it cause they play the server not because it's lowrate but because of the server files and the dedication of the team?

Some people are so smart these days.

If people had had 3 flame fields, couple poison clouds, a rage book and a dark body book drop yesterday then I would be worried. Jees uv had mass heal, entrap books etc they should be shop books anyway...Nobody wants rares dropping like *****s knickers at all, just simple lower lvl skills
