Nuri's Hallows

- An Alliance can only be disbanded if the Alliance Master disbands it.
- Alliance Master can only be transferred if the player decides to transfer leadership of the alliance over. This is seperate from guild leadership transfers.



With that said, this is nothing but my thoughts of improving the game. I know a majority will never be implemented, but if theres a tiny bit of hope left in pl someday when the devs do update, I hope they would take this suggestion along to improve the game as it is.

[End]

I like your never dying hope but there not gonna do anything to fix this place.

[GreenLord]

Even though this is probably hopeless, I want:
-Better rhinos
Increase damage capability
Rhino Might skill has better range and damage
Buffs become more powerful
Dungeons
-Lower difficulty of Mount Fang, Humania, and Blacksmoke

I like your idea, its true. Rhinoes do need a buff. I'll add that up shortly.

If the devs ACTUALLY implement this suggestion, we will see a new surge of players, both new and old coming back. And more players means more profit for StS ;D

Rhinoes don't need a buff at 17. They get are very annoying to beat as it is.

[Draoscao]

I'd be happy if they would atleast rise the level cap from 77 to 78 just so everyone could get a 3pc ring. Maybe 150k xp for some more $$$ for Sts, but i doubt that they would do that. It isn't alot but it's something. I like your ideas about alliances and the voting to kick system. I don't really think they would update. But who knows?

[Sheugokin]

I thanked your post because of:

1) Your raw knowledge of the game and the nooks and crannies to each campaign.
2) The pure enthusiasm and the apparent love for this game.
3) Creativity and the time it took to formulate those creative ideas.
4) Finally, the intense typing you had to endure, (must have given you carpal tunnels in your wrists)

Awww thanks so much! Heres a thanks back! ^_^

Awww thanks so much! Heres a thanks back! ^_^

But don't get your hopes up bro. Just have the notion that StG might not do a single damn thing you listed above, but to reiterate, I appreciate your effort.

[Delolster]

It's cool tho. I know they have no more updates on the horizon, but if their business is doing well, having those suggestions is still a great way to get them started back on thread to reignite an outdated but awesome game like that

[humiiii]

I'd be happy if they would atleast rise the level cap from 77 to 78 just so everyone could get a 3pc ring. Maybe 150k xp for some more $$$ for Sts, but i doubt that they would do that. It isn't alot but it's something. I like your ideas about alliances and the voting to kick system. I don't really think they would update. But who knows?

What? You want 3pc for everyone? So people who started to play the game before would have no more advantages. Why not give founder's helm to everyone also?

[AppleNoob]

It's fair, the only reason we don't have 3pc is because "oldies" will cry if they lose their unfair advantage.

[Draoscao]

What? You want 3pc for everyone? So people who started to play the game before would have no more advantages. Why not give founder's helm to everyone also?

Well i mean, i have a 2pc fox myself wouldn't it be fair for also rhinos and foxes to have a 3pc aswell, i'm selfish. I don't really care what would happen to the majority.
So let's see this as a pros and cons
Pros of my idea: Foxes ,Rhinos and newer players (after bsm cap) can get 3pc rings. It will courage them to cap to my ideal l78. StS would get $$ out of it.
Rhinos can tank more, deal slightly more damage aswell
Foxes have more armour and deal slightly more damage. And well you get the idea.
PvE parties with newer players (after bsm released)in them would go faster if they all would have a 3pc
3pc Overpowers 2pc and for everyone to get a 3 piece ring would be fair (Imo)
Cons: More people will complain
There are no big advantages oldies could have.
I couldn't think of more cons. Anyways that was just a suggestion. Not that StS will update this game anymore though. Oldies still keep their OP fossil Egg though.

[kaptainkurt]

Well, I mean if there "oldies" they should be able to take the "newgens" 😂😂😂

Sorry but I don't quite agree with your post. Elite Vanities are a symbol of someone capping their toon at a point where that certain level was the maximum cap, and as such it needs to be as rare as it gets. I personally consider all of us lucky that our toons can have elite vanities at both 76 and 77 at the same time.

Anyways, it is undeniable that there will be more players being 3 pcs should the devs decide to update the game. Here are my suggestions to mitigate that effect to a small extent so as to not affect the rest of the players that can easily obtain 3 pcs.

- After introducing a new campaign, remove the Elite Vanities of level 76 and 77. This will ensure all is fair for players that stick around, while inspiring a new generation of players to start aspiring for the next upcoming level cap.

Or..

- After introducing a new Level cap or campaign, Introduce a 4-piece ring with stats that greatly enhances the power of Dragon infused 3-piece rings. The Crafters at Blacksmoke mountain will of course be updated with that change. At the same time, remove the Vanity Pet since the hiatus meant more 2 pieces roaming about at the time of this writing. So this will maintain the chances of everyone having a 2 or 3 piece, and will further reward the oldies for waiting so long for the game to be updated. There may also be a vanity converter by the Fallen Prince for players that have 4 elite vanities but could not convert them to a 4 piece ring. Note that a 4 piece consist of Helm, Shield, Armor & Pet.

Given this new suggestions, I can guarantee those that has capped their toons to 77 will reap their benefits by upgrading their ring to 3 pcs, while new players will be hindered as it should be until there will be yet another upcoming cap. I'll leave it to you to think what kind of suggestions would the devs take regarding a new campaign needs.

No, no, no. 4pc is a bad idea due to it being biased towards oldies.

Furthermore, Being fair is making it an equal playing field. It is not making sure someone always has the upper hand. Your points are weak and do not cover the full picture.

Your last paragraph literally proves my point as it shows that newbies will be hindered and oldies rewarded which will further unbalance endgame PvP and in turn create more animosity.

In an MMO, there was never an equal playing field. Such thoughts are spoken in PL only because it was in a way easy to cap whenever a new cap comes in, up until now.

In many ways, Yes. That suggestion will be biased towards oldies. That suggestion might affect currently capped players. That suggestion will damn complete newcomers that joined after a future cap. But in my opinion (which you are free to dispute), Any player with 3 piece means players that has played 3 caps. It could be anything, to prove that they have played to the cap for either Sewers, Nuris, Fang, Humania, Blacksmoke and to a lesser extent Caverns.

To that end, The Level 77 pet breaks the cycle. What originally was having to wait for yet another cap in a new player's perspective, was now being entitled to a 2 piece if they cap. Despite the claims of the 300k exp required to counterbuff this thought, personally I can agree with having this 2 piece mentality being a bane, but if you think of how the actual vets have gone through, we are taking the idea of having a 2 pcs straight for granted.

Which is why I stand by my idea to remove either the Eternal shield or The Lil'Gorath pet on the day which StS finally decide to update the game. We have been given lots of time to cap our characters to get the 2 piece already.

Last sentence. You had the time to cap. The newbies haven't.

With that said, this is nothing but my thoughts of improving the game. I know a majority will never be implemented, but if theres a tiny bit of hope left in pl someday when the devs do update, I hope they would take this suggestion along to improve the game as it is.

Nice to see all didn't lost hopes.........

Last sentence. You had the time to cap. The newbies haven't.

Well there is alot of time to cap till 77. Since no updates coming to pl. The newbies always need time to understand the game and know the mechanics. But the only thing is The newbies (after bsm cap). Didnt have the time to cap to 56, 61 etc. I just want that there is balanced pvp. That is what Sts always strived for. Well to balance the game a little more, everyone should be able to get a 3pc ring. In my opinion
