    Default Hey Devs, Please Bring Back The Rush!

    Hey Devs,
    I just wanted to say I am a loyal member of this game and I would really appreciate it if you guys could bring back the rush, as I did not see a problem with it and if anyone who did could just make a password protected game.

    The reason I am asking this is because I as well as many other people live hectic lives, but still like to enjoy games such as Pocket Legends. Many people however do not have the time to commit for 2 or more hours a day in order to get the gear and the position that they desire ingame. Rushing lets one get this gear quick and those who opt not to go this route can always make password protect games as I have mentioned to stop rushing in their game. I would appreciate it if you would listen since I am pretty sure I am not the only one that feels this way about the update. Other than that, I love the update and already bought capture the flag (which is great). I plan on buying the other stuff as soon as I buy another Itunes Gift Card .

    It should be the other way around. Those who want to rush should make a password protected game. Public games should not allow rushing.

    1.5 sounds great...except this...I can see some of the older player will leave the game because of this.

    i dont know how long the players on this thread have played the game, but i can tell you from experience that the "golden age" of pocket legends was during the The lost Expedition period. The rush wasn't possible before the Swamps, and even during the swamps boss hunting wasn't quite the same as the current rushing system.

    That period of the game was probably the most enjoyable, and nerfing the rush until they are able to naturally make rushing impossible is one of the best aspects of the 1.5 update. I appreciate that the change is jolt for players who haven't experienced the game any other way, but give it a shot and let them tweak the drops.

    I hope you can respect that the golden age for pocket legends is was in fact when alien oasis dropped IMHO. The player base double and continued to grow as the game picked up speed and became more of an action rpg... It is not that now, and the speed of a single game is no longer a liesure activity but instead a chore.

    I do not enjoy chores

    Yeah, that's fair. After all the money and time I've invested in it, I should leave just because I don't like the changes? I'm not the only one upset here, and we're all paying customers.

    I am one of the first peoples to play this game and I am now happy that you can't rush no more, now you can play the game how you are supposed to play, not just turn on the game kill few bosses than call it a day. So suck it up. Go play like we played back in the day.

    I was called in a few times to clear just the boss. Makes me wonder whether that will become more frequent.

    And Victory Lap hasn't changed that much BTW. You don't have to clear all; just a few.

    I was doing victory lap today, and you have to clear like half of the mobs before OL will spawn. Used to be a 5 mins run, now it takes 20-25 mins...

    Fyrce, how many did you killed to spawn the boss?

    Also, it is hard enough to find gears you need and it is almost impossible to buy it since the price is so high. By killing the rush, the price will go ever higher...Personally, I dont think it is doing any good.

    Hi Range, I don't want to be negative on your thread. I do appreciate all the help you've given me. But I think it best to wait and see. I think more people get to play this way, and the complants about being booted seem to have stopped. Now people are just glad if you respawn instead of run away and everyone is welcome. I know that you were not like those others who booted people that couldn't rush, and for that, thanks. But other people were booting level 50 birds and mages. I think this way is more fair. So hang on. It might not be a bad thing.

    The thing people need to understand is that from the games perspective Rushing is CHEATING. It's not a smart play style or tactic. Do you drive your buggy to the green and then start the hole from there in golf? The game is meant to be played from start to end, just like a golf hole. If people want rushing I think this may be an alternative:

    Change victory lap to just be bosses and their minions rather than the whole corridors and such up to them. Make it just boss fights.
    Let's say the drop rate for Wraith Armour is 3.5% from map 3. Make it at 0.17% for Vic Lap. That way with the same time spent, either clearing or boss fighting you get around the same chance.

    I agree. Now with the rush nerfed, there are too many mobs in Victory Lap.

    The mobs are not really a problem for me, but if developers would not bring back the rush, I would appreciate if they could increase the drop rate for the rift, cosmos, and void. Etc. I only need the cosmos set now I got everything else before the rush collapsed. I am thinking a kafara isis bear decked out with a keeper staff will own in capture the flag, considering all your slashes are aoe, and when you have the flag you get stronger, so you basically are unstoppable

    I was vary much against rushing, not for the rush part..
    but from all the good items being controlled by these groups who have the nerve to try and sell it to me for 850k.

    Since 1.5
    I have found that with a good group ("good" being the word) clearing the mobs that stand in the direct path to the boss takes no time, and those should be the only ones necessary to spawn the bosses. All the halls that end with nothing, let the nubs clear for xp.

    Or I propose that any locked rushing games be limited in drop types. Just giving huge amounts of money instead. Letting the (non rushed) get the good drops (cause they worked harder for them) Let the rushers come with the cash, to buy from the non rushers.

    Personally I would be ok rushing for say 35k and little chance of getting good pinks, than I am not rushing, taking a huge amount of time just to get junk purps that I could never sell for 35k
