Holiday Map

[Moonraker]

in summary: to make drops more fairly distrubuted:

1) special no mage dungeons to prevent mages fromtaking all drops.

2) random spawn location to combat highest lvls just standing on location to take all drops. with only 2 or 3 special drop monsters spawning at one time, the higher lvls will always do more dmg then others and therefore take the drop.

3) healing points/safe places where non mages can heal without leaving dungeon, so they dont loose any chance of drop when they did 51% dmg to monster but got low red by tanking for xxxxxx mages.

4) bigger mass of special drops and lesser spawn of high hp ghost archers/snow dragons.

80% of time archer will target a useless ghost archer or snow dragon. while others can always target the special drop monsters.

3)

I agree Archer sux at spawn parties so what is the solution .....have other accs..... I never use my 3 archers for parties only my mage..... I dont use my ogre or my swordsman either...... I use these as specialty for other tasks...... instead of complaining..... think globally... Once upon a time archer was good at parties then somebody complained and drops were changed from last hit to most damage... now the complaining continues.... yes the archer targeting sux... it would be nice to allow the archer to select target.... I am basicly saying think smarter.

you are saying forget about ur 2 year investment in time and money and start new with both time and money. wife would divorce me if i did lol.

REMOVE THE GHOSTARCHERS.
ARCHERS ALWAYS SHOOT THEM. THEY ARE USELESS. ONLY WHEN THE GHOSTARCHERS ARE DEAD ARCHERS START SHOOTING AT DEVIL OR DINO OR FAIRY.
OR PUT SPECIAL DROP ON THE GHOST ARCHER.

AND DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT MAGES TO GET ALL DROPS. DONT CARE WHAT.SPECIAL DUNGEON. TIME LIMIT ( HIGH LVL MAGES THERE ALMOST 24/7 SHARING ACCOUNT). MAX AMOUND OF DROPS. INCREASED MANNA COST IN DUNGEON, NEGATIVE ARMOR, LOTS OF CHOICES.

DO SOMETHING NOW. WEVE BEEN TOLD "LATER,NEXT TIME" FOR 2 YEARS.

THAT STORY IS GETTING OLD.
IT MADE SENSE 2YEARS AGO. NOT NOW .WITH ALL CHANGES IN THE LAST YEAR BENEFITTING MAGES.

mellee and archers at the bottom of the range of the portals cant even enter without dying in seconds. why?
because mages are spawning huge masses who swamp and kill the entering low lvls.

Who bennefits from big masses of monsters. not mellee. not archers. only.mages who can kill many with green flow and heal if they get red or yellow.

a mellee or archer who get caught between 8 just dies.

dungeons are small. many spawningpoints. no safe heavens.

I say these dungeons are designed to give drops to mages.
nothing im saying is new and i asume that gm team is not stupid. its a concious choice to let mages keep their advantages. screw all the rest.

if it sounds like a rat, looks like a rat and smels like a rat, chances are it is a rat.

if u take time to hang around the portal u will hear lots if complaints. sad thing isnobody bothers to complain on forum or in pm anymore since we know it will be ignored.

gm listens to many complains but as soon as its about the overpowered mages issue the answer has been "wait" fir over 2 years. in the meantime all changes by compbatant has made the gap bigger.

for ur info: several mages with over 60+ lv250 or higher items, another 3 i know 25+,

just to be clear, big spawns like that work best for sword, not mages... in fact, they're even better for archer than for mage - archer can stay on outside shooting fire arrows in there... 30% will often be enough to get the drop if 3 mages are using green flow on the whole group

to be fair, yes, clearly mages have an advantage at just about everything - you don't want to hear about future updates (and I don't blame you tbh) so I won't say anything about that... but to say these maps are designed to give mages an advantage is an insult to the people who designed them. (compbatant made the actual layout if I remember right, Gandalf set the special spawns, I made the multiple maps that separate by level and put in the regular red, white, and blue monsters... none of us deserve to be insulted over it.)

[blitzcraig]

as far as map improvements go, here are some things I've seen:

1> see if it's possible to not lose xp when you die in holiday portal maps

2> many monsters have already been adjusted... what else would help here? (be sure to include which Map)

3> no monsters by entrance.. too many are spawned by walking around by the portal, that should be "safe zone"

what else?

[Asmodeous]

Since the droprate is a lot lower from what i can see in the high portal. Why not something like 2 more of each enemy that has a drop?

you are saying forget about ur 2 year investment in time and money and start new with both time and money. wife would divorce me if i did lol.

really i can get a new char to 200 in 2-3 months part time..... the choice is yours just dont make those of us that play and actually lvl up instead of socialise pay for your gamestyle of play. I see the droprate has already gone down prob from your complaining congratulations.... If u cant beat em screw em.... thats ur motto... You did the exact same thing for the halloween event..... ruined it. again congratulations

just to be clear, big spawns like that work best for sword, not mages... in fact, they're even better for archer than for mage - archer can stay on outside shooting fire arrows in there... 30% will often be enough to get the drop if 3 mages are using green flow on the whole group

(compbatant made the actual layout if I remember right, Gandalf set the special spawns, I made the multiple maps that separate by level and put in the regular red, white, and blue monsters... none of us deserve to be insulted over it.)

in a dungeon archers get surrounded quickly. swords too. he cant run away there evwrywhere monsters surrounding them and firing at them. its good for mages because they can heal.archers or swords have to leave.

mages run behind the archer. archer gets trapped.
on a map like silverwood map.its different. there archers can indeed circle to get xp. but not drops.


xp is unimportant in these dungeon events. u can get mych faster xp just grinding in the right place. its the items u can not get normally u want.

im.not saying that u guys thought "lets give mages lots of extra items" but you cant be saying none of u realised that tbe mages would get 80% of the special drops. still u decided to put in this dungeon and not wait until.the famous september. fact is rare items are now suddely free in bulk to mages. and gm team is the one who did that.i cant blame the mages for getting them. but i can blame the team for making it possible.

theteam choose to do this event knowing that it would mostly benefit mages which they knew were overpowered already. it knew tbat it would put non mages at abigger disadvantage. already some are offering the items for lvls. others fir lots of gold.
mages will be rich and higher lvl. otbers poor and lower.
all this was known to gm team , u guys are not stupid.
but u choose to ignore the unfairness of it.

a class specific dunguon as i suggested at haloween map would have solved lots. but that was either rejected, forgotten or ignored.

by doing this dungeon now gm.ignores the complaints of non mages and gives mages another advantage.

And now i understand drops have changed. so next to their 60+ items of 2 types the mages got they can now get the other items too. nice they all be back. no chance for others.
others still cant get a drop. havent seen a non mage dungeon yet.
Tell me that this is fair.
Anything which a mage asks is given.
anything which is not to their benefit gets a "later" and tbank u for ur comment.
