Item Mall Changes & Additions
Sabakun's Jewel
This item works better when it is on the Item Mall. Players like it, so we put it on the shop. We also updated the unflattering icon with something that looks much better & like an elixir, since Sabakun's Jewel is an elixir.
The pickpet charge
You can find it on Item Mall to give your pet a second page, and the charge also gives the owner +1 STR and +1 INT.
It has 28 days of charge, you can either use it on a new pet, or, for example, on 4 different pets each with a 7 days rental period left. They will all have a second page, and all will provide 1 STR and 1 INT to their owners.
No res scrolls in Item Mall
No easy res. Worthy kills. Dying stings.
Killing another player should have a meaning. If you killed someone and they immediately got back up with a res scroll, or ressed with black res in 0.3 seconds and got back into action, what is the value of your kill? Exactly. Zero. If everyone could easily get back up, how would a party war be ever won by one side?
Since we have removed the res scrolls from Item Mall, and since there are no EU's, the person you killed won't be ressed back in half a second & get back into action and make your kill worthless.
The killed player will have to go back to town. Either come back through the traditional ways, or use a reverse. All of which will keep that player out of action for substantial amount of time, which will make the kill worth it.
We will keep an eye on the use of reverse scrolls. If it's too extensively used, and if the players report that the killed players are still able to get back into action quickly even after teleporting back and forth, we may add delay of another 10 or 20 seconds on the usage of reverse scrolls.
There may be a few force players, who will have the valuable res skill, but they will also be relatively weaker, for dedicating one of their masteries to force. They will also be one of the first ones to be targeted by the opponent team, so try to protect your force guy if you got one.
We don't plan to remove the self res feature Premium gives you once a day. We will let it be the joker. Which Prem users will need to use in correct circumstances.
And the other side of the coin of course: Dying will sting. As it should. You'll have to get ressed or go back to town.
Player kills will be meaningful here. No more meaningless kill and res cycles.
Note: I once had been in a 10 minute long party "war" in a CTF event. It was a disgusting 10 minute res, black res, group res, pain, bless fest in the same room. Nothing mattered. Damages most of the time were ridiculous because of buffs. Only the players who ran out of buffs would get killed, and they'd get black ressed back up in half a second.
It was an incredibly silly waste of time with no fun. Such stuff is where you realize killing someone or getting killed should have a definite meaning.
20% Damage & Defense scrolls removed
These scrolls never made the game better. Reducing them to 10% wouldn't fix it. Since it is not player's actual strength, we removed them.
We have the Devil for this purpose which we all can agree that is part of a player's actual power. Unfair in PvP but useful in situations like FTW, CTF, Trade wars etc. And Sabakun's jewels are available in the Item Mall to make it even better.
There is a new section in Item Mall called "Packages" which has 2 tabs: Packages, Bundles.
Packages tab: Includes a massive discount pack that has many silk items you can expect in a pack. Full avatar set, Prem+, Devil, Grab pet, Inventory expansion, Reverse & Global packs and more.
Bundles tab: Includes avatar bundles. They are essentially each a complete avatar set.
The first one you see is a combination. It is a combination of different avatar parts and not the set of a single avatar. We saw that some avatars look better with different attachments and hats than original, so we decided to have a combination bundle. We will have one combination there, and it will change from time to time, offering different combos. We can also take your suggestions for combination bundles.
The regular bundles belong to a single set. Including the dress, hat and the attachment. All bundles are sold at a discount.
(The original Avatar section has all the original avatars & hats & attachments available)
About the pricing of avatars
We were originally planning to remove avatars completely to preserve the natural look of Silkroad. Especially in lower caps. But we got feedback from the community saying that we should still make it available for players who really want avatars. Least as an option to donate to the server.
Therefore we priced the avatars bit higher. Not everyone in the server will have an avatar because of the relatively higher price. It will both preserve the classic look, and also a player with an avatar will very much stand out. When every single player has an avatar, they all become meaningless. When only some players have them, it makes them a lot more special.
, first I was very interested in the idea of a server and old school with a low cap but the team and admin showed there is no intention to make it old school and there is no nostalgia servers just like a joke there is no old school it does not have any old school features in that server, After that I lost interest so I left the discord because it's just a p2w server nothing special there's a lot of private servers that go the same way vsro files with all these features hopefully the admin will learn soon how to make a good server not a server for pick money , sorry for my english désolé
