No, "NoMercyless" is not on the staff team. Thanks for the bump.

Been playing this for nearly 4 days straight, and so far fairly good impression.
Staff listens (and most importantly, DO things) about player submitted issues.
PvP balance was slightly adjusted.
Patchnotes are being actually posted for knowledge.
Things are not rushed, at least seems so.

Might need a couple polishing touches, such as damage output balances, a few stat adjustments, little more diversity in droplist and so on, but overall...
7/10 I'm playing this.

Very appropriate review. : )

Thanks for the honest review, we'll work on improving it some more :)

Seems like Lights could use a few more during mid day/afternoon now.

Yeah for sure lights need more.... there´s still ONE fury in the rankings top 10 ;)

Yep lights need more. I'm the top fury player and all the bosses of past 24~36hours have gone to fury, lights can't even contest it :)

Lights could use higher total player base. They have a couple committed people, but when they log off, it's quite silent.
Had a funny pvp situation today, when fury arrived at Kimu who was half dead and we kited around to get the drops.

Yeah I notice that tons of light but only a few committed.

Well, what an entertaining week this has been. We've had a myriad of bugs and problems along the way, but so far it seems to be progressing along nicely. I'd like to thank everybody who has participated in the beta, and of course, those who join the server and help out in the future. Beta capes have been awarded to the top 100 active players of the server, primarily pulled from the pvp rankings. Please note, if you have more than one account, then only the account with the most kills will have qualified. Capes may be redeemed by logging in to the website home page, and selecting the desired class.

Some patch notes for the maintenance today:

• Drop list has been changed slightly, to allow Lv6 Lapis to be farmed more easily.
• The chance of receiving a Perfect Linking Hammer/GRB Lapis from GRB Bags has been lowered slightly, as we felt the amount received was too much.
• Bosses now spawn Fortune Boxes when reaching low health, in an attempt to shuffle the order of drops in group order loot raids.
• Rapid Shot is now an aoe ability, with a 5m range.
• Bloody Shower and Shower Time have had their cooldowns reduced from 600 seconds, to 60 seconds.
• Dayfly Shield now actually works again (Apparently I missed that one)
• Linking Hammers now provided a higher link chance, boosted from 20% to 30%.
• Elemental Mobs in Kanos now also drop Kanos Chests.
• The amount of golems in Kanos has been doubled from it's original amount.
• Oblivion Insula bosses now have a chance to drop Lv69 gear and weapons.
• Bulldozer has had it's HP lowered.
• Kimuraku has been buffed slightly.
• Etin now no longer sells for gold.
• GRB has been moved from Saturday 9pm, to Sunday 9pm.
• Some maps have been fixed and now work as intended.
• Dimension's Crack is now a dungeon, and it's respawn set to the appropriate base in Kanos.

As always, please continue to report any bugs or suggestions you may have, to one of our staff members. Thank you for joining us here on Shaiya Asylum, and making this a great experience for all of us!

Regards,
Shaiya Asylum Management.

Server running smoothly and constant updates.

I've never experienced lag as of yet but your the second person to note it so maybe it will get worse but I doubt it, With enough complaints I trust it'll be resolved quickly.

This is not server sided lag, just my net acting.

Ah ok that seemed to be the other guys issue too.

BUMP# We could use some light side players, independent from timezone.

Fantastic server. #join

Friendly bump, server still doing nice.

Up.

I do not know how you can call the server a copy of my game, I am ashamed for you, all the same the weapons, the damage, and everything, how you do?
how many people you've removed online, for the shame of having 10?
until the mine will be online, you will always be a copy if you do not do anything new will never do anything, invent something, rather than copy me
if you want your game to be a bit more invent, not to go ahead with degl'altri ideas, creates new, I say to you, so you will not make the road

Damn Axel, back at it again with the retardness. Where do I even start? First of all, your server is a copy of tactics. So is Shaiya Asylum, but they actually have the balls to say that their server is a copy. You still claim only the "skills" is a copy of tactics, but everything else is something new you have come up with. Which is straight up bullshit. Excuse my language.

Axel, you had a server many Shaiya owners could just dream about. You had good amount of players, the community was pretty big, after the first few weeks, I'll guess you had around 200-250 people. However, you still have a good amount of players left, according to your website at least. But I bet that won't last long. Unless you change your attitude and grow the fuck up. Straight up. The way you respond to the feedbacks on your server thread is horrible to watch. Be more responsible for your actions and learn how to take care of your players. Some people just don't fit to be server owners. And in my opinion, you are one of them. You're not mature enough. Sorry.

Anyway, free bump I guess and I will give this server a try. Good luck with the server.

Do we need an english translation or a stupid translation to understand this block of nonsense

The funniest thing about it actually is that he himself spammed people's skypes with invites right before the server opened, telling people to come cause it's gonna be Tactics v2. Not sure where this new defensive stance about originality suddenly came from lol

Kill yourself o_e

We removed the player online count as a suggestion from the players, as it was a focus point of the website which may dishearten players before they even give it a chance. While we might not have as many players as yourself, we're still performing decently, especially since this is our first time running a server. Player count and statistics are reserved for staff members, who may use the web panel to view players who are logged in on multiple toons, or click on their name and kick them from the game if they're being particularly disruptive. This was taken yesterday night: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

I do have to say though, even though we're both copying Tactics, you seem to have added a few features that I didn't opt for. As an example, I removed the special feature that you added to your server, that allows people to spawn mass amounts of items and keep them. Pretty smart, huh? Thanks for the free bump, anyway.

As previously stated, we're in need of lights for all timezones, so come and check us out!

Thank you for the great feedback, we're happy that we can make this an enjoyable place for you :)

We've had a short maintenance today, to fix some minor bugs, and made a few changes to the server. As always, we're happy to hear suggestions or bug reports, and will do our best to fix them.

• Mobs in D1 have had their respawn time dramatically decreased, due to player request. Being the primary farm zone for Recreation Runes, mobs weren't spawning fast enough for the amount of players farming there.
• Cryptic Bulldozer now drops 1-2 Insanity Element Lapis, to give further incentive to kill the boss.
• The bug that allowed people to attack the players of the same faction has been fixed.
• The drop rate of GRB Bags has been significantly decreased.
• Oblivion Insula bosses now have a slightly higher chance of dropping Lv69 gears.

Thanks for sticking by us through all of this. As always, we're happy to continuously improve the server! Fury seem to be losing pvp recently, and they could use some help.

Friendly bump

Bump for quite nice & reliable server *^*

My review of the server
 

First of all, I would just like to start by saying that the server have been down for almost 3 hours now, the site is completely down and so is the server. And we don't know why. At least I don't.

The server is pretty enjoyable, everything is not free so you got something to farm, and it's not too much to farm, so you don't drown farming. I haven't personaly experienced any bugs, expect from the pots some times taking a few clicks to make them work, but I don't think that is a bug. I got told it's like that to prevent skill cutting. I am not sure tho.

The "bad" thing about the server is the lack of staffs. Don't get me wrong, the staff is pretty professional, at least as far as I have noticed after playing a week. They speak pretty good English, no google translation, can you believe that? However, I would just like to see more blue names in game. Even logging in and type "Hello" and simply ask how the players are doing is something. Just the fact that someone is there watching out for us is a good feeling to have, as a player. And of course, I'm not expecting them to be online 24/7 but the fact that the staff list consist of two administrators and four game sages is not enough, at least not at this point in my openion. It would be enough if the two admins who owns the server were pretty active in game, but sadly they're not. Because we all have real life to take care of too. But what I am saying, is that they should consider adding Game Masters, so the players don't feel "lonely". Because the last thing we need is unactive staffs.

Free bump, and I hope the server gets back up soon.

Not sure what is going on right now, but it probably is being resolved as we speak.

This is indeed true, you cannot use potions while in the action of skill animation, that is done by the client to limit the player from using Bootleg scrolls/consumables while casting a skill. However it does not limit you from using dispel pots, so if you manage your potions properly you should almost never have issues with being unable to pot.

Believe it or not, Admins are on A LOT. They just don't interact with the players on global chat. They are keeping a eye out on catching people trying to abuse bug/ cheat, or cause trouble in general. I'm a part of the staff so I know when they are around, and its quite often. I assume the reason they arent interacting and globally making it known when they are online at all times is probably due to getting flooded with random messages and silly questions from players too lazy to check the droplist etc.


Quality feedback tho, not that I expect anything else from you.

Bump. :P

It has been more than 8 hrs of server and website down, during a time when we know Admins are active.

It would be nice to hear something from them about what is going on. Since they are not online on skype, we don't have a chat page and forums are down as well, they could use here to communicate with their community.

Please, just some info on what's going on.

Yep no clue what is happening

OK... more than 30 hours with everything down.
No word, no msg, no notice, no smoke signals or drums beating from ADMs.

Is it just me or can you also smell a rat here?

I do hope very few had donated. I'm glad i didn't.

I guess I said it too fast. o.o'
Where are you, Admin Insane? Speak to us. :confused:

Well, after 24 hours we still haven't heard a word from the administrators. I guess we can declare it dead. How sad. I actually had hope for this server. They had everything a good server needed. Well, not everything I guess...

This just proves my point from my previous post about the lack of active staffs.
I actually just started playing Shaiya again, and this server was the one who caught my eye. How sad. I guess I just came back for nothing. But what can I say? Nothing lasts forever right?

You're both a copy of Tactics. So not sure why you felt this was relevant... Although I will give you kudos for not abandoning ship and screwing over your players, there is definitely still room for improvement. But again, irrelevant.

Everybody were so excited about this new server. The admin was showing good support, the server had potential. Now the server has been down for 30 hours + and everybody are being like "Sucky server, bad admin!!!" ... Yes, yes. We know this community is extremely ungrateful.

God forbid something happened to [Adm]Insane and therefore all the fuss happened. You never know what happened and remember that real life is a lot more important than some random private server in some random game.

Now what I don't understand is how can you support a server in it's good times and give it zero support in the bad ones?

That's like nubness loving me only when I cook for him and telling me that i'm a piece of shit when I refuse to make him a sandwich.

This server could be another example of how anybody could make a server nowadays, take ~100$ donations and then disappear, sure... Perhaps it is. Perhaps it isn't. And you don't know that.

We are so used to admins lying to us, taking our money and bringing down our faith for the life of this game... But I don't understand how you can be supportive and saying "This server is the best!" and the other day just flaming the shit out of it.

I'll have to remind you that this is Shaiya Asylum's advertising thread and you can't advertise/comment about other servers here.

She was writing this post as I was starving to death.
