Hey there.
Finally Private servers allowed us to adjust the Joymax given balancing.
I won't be able to make my own server anyway, so I would like to share my thoughts on it. Nothing of this is really tested though. Since I don't have the programming skills.
It is just for fun and open for discussion.
Many servers try to balance out euro and chinese race. Usually it fails.
The intention of this list is to bring private server owners new ideas which could improve the balancing in the future.
The changes may seem drastic but still needed in my opinion to finally make an almost equal pvp gameplay possible. Also I think some stuff is just not possible to change with the existing serverfiles. (Like the crit thing)
These changes are made to work for an basic pvp server.
Sorry for the bad layout. Word document copy/paste ^^
Basic changes:
- 25% HP grain + 25% MP grain are banned.
- Bad status division, impotent, slumber/deep slumber are not useable against players anymore. Just against monsters.
- Shields do not block attacks anymore, they just give the usual defence increase.
- Blue zerk (lv 95+) damage increase 50%
- Red zerk (lv 95+) damage increase 100%
- Critial damage increase reduced to 50%. Means prick and daredevil crits won’t 1hit anymore.
- Purification pill cooldown reduced to 10 seconds
