Thank you for taking the time to leave this post, which was actually useful.Quote:
Useful information
Sadly, oldschool cannot be associated immediately with DB8 content. I know you love it, but it will probably not happen @PA.
Now that I got the bad news out of the way, I wll re-quote your post with the things PA will actually offer from the list you've given us.(talking about phase 1)
~PA BogdyQuote:
// We will add some yybs res, thanks for reminding us.
- 110 dodge/ck dodge wardrobe ornaments
- Karma plates
- Those old decos that give 10% speed, 10% crit, 50 def/ck def (those very basic ones from acclaim)
- Quilin's Mirrors items - including deco
- Def trink/hp trink
- Elixirs until +26
- 300 damage wb the 2 slotted version as well
- 20% mansion (fd12) shoes the 2 slotted version as well
- 250 yybs weapon ornaments
- Maximum 10% crit rate ornaments <-----maybe
- Maximum 6/1k leach ornaments <----- agree, but for Phase 1, we won't have HP leech at all
- Maximum C10 yybs buffs available on regular players
- No corruption (haha - I wish) <---- well, you might hate my ideas sometimes or my attitudes, but you have to agree that I keep my promises, no, PA will not be corrupted.
- Lag free servers (certainly)
- A promise to the community there'll be no more than ONE wipe - the one you mentioned in the poll <------ Okie. There's no reason to wipe, we will rollback if something bad happens (we hope not)
- Cheap item mall (will talk about that later if neccessary) <---- Agreed
- Some sort of advertisement to attract players/catch players' attention <----Thanks, we will keep that in mind
- A promise that admins / gm's won't neglect and/or close down the servers any time soon <----- We reserve our right to do whatever. Promises are useless most of the time when it comes to situations like this. However, we DO NOT plan on closing soon, we estimated the PA lifespan and it's not in the near future (I'd say it can last as long as the community supports it)
- Since old school content will firstly be added, make sure you move on kinda quickly because most people want to see content not some old school crap <----- We kind of want to fix what the devs did wrong. The initial LD capped server was great, it needed some adjustments (like anti nuker patch and so on) but it was overall more balanced and left for more possibilities. Once OP items were introduced, it all became a mess.
- Try not to mix old/new content as it might cause major imbalance that makes pvp unenjoyable <------ Like I said in the previous post, we attempt to carefully patch the game. That's why we are doing the phases.
- If it's 100% sure (with evidence) that someone is hacking OR abusing client sided files to gain unfair advantage OR scamming, ban them permanently with no appeals <------- Yes, exactly what WILL happen
- Punish pvp relogs properly but make sure you do not hand out permanent ban for it - nor any long term bans (2 weeks maximum - that's what I'm suggesting)<---------I'd go with 1 month
- After HM cap move on straight to IM12 cap because I don't think people would wanna waste more time on having shitty out-dated items <------ Sorry, but no, this will not happen due to the reasons mentioned above. We will entertain our community with "expansions" which will include new skills,items,events. There's no point rushing to cap just to run out of content.
- IM12 cap should have similar content as Play9D R2 had <------ Again,sorry, but it probably won't happen. We have our own model.
- After IM12 cap move on to HG12 if possible.<-----There will be another cap @ PS/DB for phase 2, after that we will probably go to HG/HI cap
- Make sure admin / gm speaks English accurately <----- well, yes, we do speak english properly.
- A launcher that automatically updates each time a patch gets released is highly expected. <---- Future plan. Noted!
- 9Dragons is already dead, I know I mentioned it somewhere...above there but let me repeat myself: you need players. you need users. you need population. That should be the most important! <------ We plan to make the game easier to understand and emerge into. Our first attempt at that was reintroducing the tutorial, which in our opinions really states the basics of 9D
- Staff members should be very active and deal with users' issue right away <------- We are all busy with our personal lives. We will not abandon the server, but we won't give the quickest answers, maybe @1-2 days to 1 week response for support threads
