My thoughts on Zircon

Server Crashed? sorry didnt know where to post

It was, Posting here about crash will unfortunately never help, I get immediate notifications from discord / F-Book or Phone call.


Normally its down for at most 5~10 minutes whilst I work out why it crashed (then apply fix) and reboot.

I always post on discord when I restart the server.

I enjoy it to an extent (this game) but with the very minimal amount of quests you don't have much direction, and you get quests before you ever stand a chance at completing them.

The boss quests also suck, as the higher level quests, the top end guys are hunting there and just kill you on-sight, you don't stand a chance as a solo player on this server.

Same as any Mir server, groups will always win. Quests you can create your own quests, simply go to the zircon forums and add it there in the quest section.

While I am glad to see the Gameshop items are not locked away to only people who donate, I still think there is too much "pay 2 win" emphasis in this server. All the highest levels have like 15+ buffs to literally every stat. While a Gameshop is good to help Jamie fund his time and effort, I think that the items available will be detrimental to the longevity of the server.

I actually think the GS is spot on. With the addition of HuntGold players that don't want to donate cash can have the exact benefits of players that don't have that much time to spend on the server thus donating some money to accelerate the process.
And players that decide to donate (help the free2play serv survive) and get a head start will only benefit from that until the non-donator players make enough HuntGold (which has a pretty sweet rate I mite add) to get all the buffs they need.

Also u are/were just lvl 17 when u stated ur opinion about wizzies. They do just fine once u lvl up abit. Look @ the top rankings..those wizzies solo lvl in PT @ arround 38 with Greater Frozen Earth? (if I got it wrong sue me, im a warr :P ) , luring in corners and lvling like rockets.

Greater Frozen Earth

So, taking things away from the game is an improvement?

Warriors now just have to take nothing but HP pots, and press a button when their HP is low, **** maybe they don't even have to do that with autopot.
Wizards now just have to spam skills and not even worry about taking aggro?

I understand some of you say that it sucked as a wiz that you couldn't hit certain Bosses and were just clearing the trash but don't you realise how important that actually is? It's not like you're going to get less rewards once the boss is killed, and if you are then **** whoever it was that you were killing the boss with.

Hi,

These are my thoughts on Zircon so far

I think this new aggro system make warriors more usefull, i am a wizz and my mate is a sin and still have to run to not die , it depends where you hunting and how many in party.

I felt abit hard to start has a wizz until lvl 22 , after gets better and better.

Over the years i didnt play i felt now all others class got more powerfull and wizz not, i hope is balanced in PVP.

I am missing some usefull features:

-No Friend List
-No Option to turn off/on setting like char hp etc... ( others setting there was in all mir3 clients before are not available)
-Checking others players stats dont have icon to directly add to party or whisper, mail etc..
-No Party members names and HP show

Other stuff i notice diferent:

-When i get hit the char dont stop ( jamie turn if off ? )
-Design on player items window looks old and bad
-I get alot warning about distance on skills :/ cant cast it ( maybe this is to match the resolution )
-Drop system is diferent , i can only see my share ( so far to good)

Would be nice to see some of old features ingame, also new features, for example the RT mini map feature i saw in kor files video:

-When you use RT your minimap automatic gets bigger and blink on place you been teleported and after automatic get smaller again, very usefull for fast RT

Additional request:

-GOLD drop are good in some places and bad in others, for example, Very good in flea caves and bad in Stone Caves , would be nice to have balanced gold drop in others places.

Overall i am enjoying the server, hope to see new releases, see you ingame /eXhume

It can be yes. Try looking at each thing as an individual change, and judge solely on it's own merits rather than using 'taking away = bad!", and you'll have an improved lookout. If something improves gameplay by making an annoying mechanic less apparent, or non-existent (say removing mp from warrs altogether) then yes.

i hate the page system

ive failed to learn potion mastery three times in a row, spending 700k on a 82/100 book for it to fail is not a fun experience

Feel your pain, bought three copies of Bloody Flower and had one copy drop all failed probably ended up spending 1.5m. Finally bought a copy with 12 pages for 250k and it worked.

Not too bad server, but definately should not be called mir 3, maybe mir X or mir new age, but defo not 3, it has simply too little in common.
