Posting as a concerned lover of MirChronicles

When is the Halloween event and are there details on it yet? Thanks

Starts on the 25th of December.....

 

[horton]

IT's tradfitional mir never to announce an event on the forum until after it has begun.
Seeing as celebrating Halloween is a modern invention and it happens on 31st October I am not expectin to know anything untl 31st which happens to b a Friday long time after 18th.

Chronicles reached this stage maybe 2 months ago, a lot of people were leaving the game and the extra EXP brought people back into the game as well as the lord events.

These are some simple ideas I think would stop the double dip:

* Improve the spawn rate of lords, they are either currently broken or far too rare, make them spawn when a minimum population is online if possible.

* Introduce a group levelling dynamic, i.e. if all 5 classes are in a group % exp increase, change in how exp is split as currently any more than 3 in a group is just inefficient for levelling.

* Introduce new quests with item rewards. I.e. Kill 25 omaking - Boundless ring. 25 colossus - Tyrants crown and so on. Make it so all bosses are included.

You are free to post these ideas

As Milo said we spend a lot of time dealing with little fires (bugs, player problems etc) that it takes time away from doing other things.

Players posting their ideas are a great help to us.

Possibly just have 1 GM working on that rest doing updates because atm alot of people have left because it all seems stagnant iv been doing the same thing for four months at what point do people get bored repeating the same thing over and over?

Did you even read the rest of the thread

There is new stuff coming and new stuff being worked on.

The team is split into set jobs, not sure if you noticed but the others hardly post here, they are the back end coders and not the face of the server (that's me) I deal with all the fires.

As people get busy we need to step into each other's rolls (family, work, friends, etc being the busy stuff)

Just an example, you have an issue with your account (unable to get past char select), I now have to spend time on that today which will take time away from the sub bosses I am working on.

Sorted it, just load on windowed mode instead

This has been said since the server opened, and the Usercount has never dropped below 100 so I'd say they're doing alright (but that doesn't mean it couldn't be better). With each new update brings back a bunch more players - but only the hardcore Mir players stick around on any server for extended periods of time. Most people get bored of Mir in general and so take a break (like myself)

New players/ex players come and go frequently, it's just how Mir is. Having been back for just a few days I've already noticed quite a lot of fights between guilds and the rivalry still exists.

Updates are on the way and improvements are always made when possible. Can't really expect any more than that, if you are then I think you're playing the wrong game.

I appreciate what you're saying but the user count numbers are not a clear representation of how many raw players are on Mir Chronicles each day.

Primarily a large portion of that number can be deducted from the multiple accounts each player has. A vast majority of the savvy players in this game have at least 1 mining character running in the background, i know several players that have three accounts running solely for this purpose. Let's not forget storage characters & low lvls solely for AH trading.

There are a lot less players on this server now than many think. Hopefully this will be revitalized with a substantial update from the devs. But let's not delude ourselves and think we are talking about actual players when we mention user count. It's a year running on almost original content, and even though it has been a tremendous server. It hasn't packed enough variety for the many others to stay.

What about having a couple of people solely for testing the new content in a test environment? With specific ways of providing feedback and reporting bugs through a proper bug tracker. I'm sure there would be many people willing to help with this on a wider scale, and you could maybe have say, two or three 'lead testers' who actually coordination the testing and collate the feedback before passing it on to the devs. Would this help spread the load?

+1 uc says 150..deduct 30% n uc just covers a 100, caves and kits, variety is what's needed, I think the low end players are to far behind, a 45 cave 43-49 kits would help a lot, the only items 40-50 are fox, perhaps a zt kit? Acc\agil amc\hp. A funfair/gamble NPC wouldn't go amiss, I liked chronicles on log in, a lot. But since 45 it has dried up =(
