Thanks Gary.
I agree... if they don't we may be moving on. I really do appreciate the communication between staff and the players and honestly have a very hard time imagining myself investing the kind of time I've invested and money as in AL. In a lot of way for me it's AL or almost nothing although a few of us are checking out Albion for giggles. We have a lot invested in AL and won't be abandoning AL very easily and it's definitely not something I want to do... we wouldn't have started an active guild if we were considering anything else.
There's not much of a long wait till Halloween. People will be back up and running again then, I hope. But please do listen to our pleas for better items. The Arcane Ring is too unachievable by most, specially at the state of farming nowadays. We want to run elites, but we can't afford to burn pots, elixirs, and ankhs to loot pinks that aren't worth anything anymore.
I highly appreciate the positive tone still kept by many ppl about the game and the players. I'm sure the devs are working hard to make great stuff for us. AL almost always has weekend events, which is more than we can say about other games. I think we're all just reeling from the repercussions of huge steps taken against Nativex and users. It will take some time. Maybe we should ease off unconstructive negative feedback for a while, I heard whinitis is contagious :)
Well my first dev/mod reply on a thread of mine:D
Ty justg for understanding our fears...we just want
To don't let this game die...
I have felt many games die..PL, SL, DL..AL wont be different. But with frequent comments and ideas from the devs, We can support them. But staying quiet from forums don't help the situation. Whats the point of hiding the games from the public anyway..won't it build hype on the new game? because thats whats console developers do...even if a game isn't done..teasers are released.
is it because you don't want people to leave AL? because right now...as others have posted on the thread....is AL dying? lack of content to farm without spending money is the real issue atm.
Well is the new game a legends game or a battle game?
To be fair though, it's hard to stay positive when the game you're playing feels like a struggle and you're constantly on the losing side, and this goes double for the free players who have to struggle the hardest considering that we have to sacrifice our time instead of our money to get ahead.
Everyone is more or less right, the itemization of the gear this year has been a success and a fail. A success because the event gear has steadily gotten better with each new event which works well for new players and old players, but then we have fail situations like Planar gear, which was a waste of resources and content. Why develop armor sets that are inferior to event gear as elite end-game content? Much less with fancy particle effects.
They should have just made the two versions vanities on a limited basis and put the silver ones in locked/arena chests and called it a day like they did with the Conquistador vanity sets, and the same with the ankh kits.
At least this would have stimulated the economy a bit for locked farmers and openers, instead of forcing players to lose vast sums of gold and plat on a economy sink.
Then there's the other issue of current mythic armors and accessories being several seasons old, which also has contributed to the steady decline of the locked market. Last season they released Rendtails Dragonstone, an awesome arcane item, but not something easily attainable for the masses. Why didn't they come up with a mythic counterpart? That would have at least keep the market on both sides motivated enough to keep us in-game until the amulet was released.
As far as the armors go, who knows when those will be replaced? But at the current pace they'll at least last us till next year.
Sadly, all we can do is hope that we don't get drip fed these things too (being on life support sucks, just put us out of our misery already)
Well, it's nice to hear everybody is really saying the same kinds of things. I've been playing this game for at least 1 1/2 years. I started posting here probably 1 year ago. I've got 3 lvl 41s. They are still wearing the same upgraded armor and basically the same rings, etc... How can this be that nothing's been changed to make me want to upgrade?
Please don't abandon us like with space legends.
Hello guys,
I do not know whether the game is dying or not, because I am a relatively new player, who started playing shortly before the end of the Ursoth event. I might not have as much exp with the game as you do guys, but I have played most of the best games in the genre. I know officially you call it MMORPG, but really isn't on par with any PC tite of the genre anyway, so I am comparing it to smaller games such diablo 1, 2 and 3 for example.
So what is in need of improvement:
1. You cant really farm anything on your own. I leveled 3 characters to cap and played quite a bit on my rogue, but I have never looted anything usable. A couple of days ago I soloed elite the wilds with my legendary gear (all of it bought from the market) , which took me about 50 mins and 1000 health potions. During the run (with luck elixir all the time) i did not get a single legendary item and eventually got a elite silver dragonscale chest from the boss. Well I decided: Since it is my first one let me open it... Big mistake as I looted 3 green items, which netted the total of 30 gold. Lol.
2. You might say you need better gear and you will be able to farm more efficiently and thus get more and better loot and eventually more gold. But the questions is how do I get better gear. Well how i see it there are three ways:
2.1 Buy plat and open locked crates and hope for the best. Now this option aint that bad you might say, but opening 110 chest costs you 89.99 USD or converted to the currency of my country 69.81 Euro. My first thought was: not that bad. After all this is about the price of a full PC game and one which has the aspirations of being one of the better ones on the market. Well after you pay that much you should have access to the best items of the current iteration of the game. Should you not? Alas you dont. From what i gathered form the countless videos of people opening chests on youtube: chances are that you'd spend 68.91 on plat and get nothing. So LOL @ at that option.
2.2 Buy plat and buy gold with it an eventually buy the best gear with it. Well according to a renowned rogue player (Zeus) the best gear for a rogue (no pets included) is about 300 mil. So what does s simple calculation show? 1 mil gold=1000 plat--> best rogue gear currently= 300 000 (three hundred thousand) plat. (300,000/1700)*69.81= 12 319 EURO (twelve thousand three hundred and nineteen) I have to spend on this game. Which is enough for 205 PC games or 280 two-way flight from where i live to Brussels or 24 two-way flights from where i live to New york or a new car, etc. LOL @ that
2.3 I could farm for locked crates. No the price of a luck elixir is 10 k gold and you will make about 5 locks on average within the 30 minutes duration of the elixir. THose 5 will net you about 4.500 gold each, but for the benefit of the game let us say that they are going to be six locked crates and you would get 5 k gold from each. So 6*5000=30000 minus the initial investment for the luck elixir= 20 000 gold every 30 minutes. 40 k in 1 hour. On the other hand we have 300 000 000 for the best gear (that is without pets, but lets us say you would play with deary and esteban). So what we got here is 300 000 000/40 000= 7500 hours of farming locked crates to get the current best gear. So assuming that you would farm 24 hours a day it would take you almost an year to get the money (44.64 weeks to be exact). So LOL @ this option
Well this is pretty much all that needs to be improved!
Bit of topic but is justg also his ign?
Well... On the positive side, i will finally be a first season player of a game.
