Arcane Legend 2 BRING IT ON!!!Originally Posted by Cinco
Make it Free to Play, Play to Earn Crypto game. The metaverse is inevitable and there is so much opportunity now; investors drying to invest in anything crypto. I want sts to have those glorious moments like back in the day.
I don't agree on your take about new players.
The catch to a new player when he jumps into a game isapart from the game features that they choose to enter)
1.) Are there players like me running around actively trying to complete storyline.
2.) The shiny stuff that maxed players are wearing... What do I have to do to obtain them.
3.) Is there Endgame content.
4.) Should I spend some money to gain some advantage and bling.
This is what I look for. And these are the trends which you are aware too...
1.)Most of the low level maps are empty.
Even with the easy leveling up introduced by STS.
2.) Once they realise the inflation and the amount of gold required to get somewhere, that's a hopeless thought which does not need explaining.
3.)Endgame content is ONLY there. No content through leveling till endgame which is a grind to even veterans and imagine a newbie sticking through that... I don't see a possibility.
4.) If the person still likes the feels of the game and plans strongly to invest into the game... The plat he buys will show how insignificant it amounts to... In the overall player base comparison.
As I feel there's a big shift of players all into the multiple hundreds of millions which is too far fetched for even mediocre playing players of the game.
Overall a new player would be lost.. As in any mmo but AL makes it too hard.
Trade permits stops many ilicit practices but Is bad for new players for sure since trading is the reason I still play this game.. A game changing feature not present in most mmorpgs to this extent. Kudos to the team for that.
Apart from the negative aspects, level scrunch is an improvement for new players.
The gold drops are too insignificant at lower levels and there's only a handful of maps that too endgame which gives good gold.
That too requires hefty investments for goldloot gear and a play gear, which at this point is no bang for buck because of the recent trend of loss in value of gears for warriors mainly.
More so the strategy to invest into expensive vanities and showoff for a while and wait for the manipulators to do their job to highrail the item into more digits.
No loss investment...and raises more faster than anyone can farm away endgame and inflate faster.
I think that adding heroic and arcane eggs to the loot table for certain maps would increase popularity in farming, at least for some new players. Other than that loot based game happened in the past but not like there were no people spending money either.
Wth dude do you not know that's too much hard work for devs? OMZ

It's all about bling bling, auras and shiny stuff. I won't use auras, the only weakness, if I can call it that, is decorating my house but even then I don't go over the top.
I know AL has changed, the maps that are empty show that. The forgotten ruins are aptly named now and all the tombs and the mines are rarely used.
I don't understand why people want op pets and gear for low level maps. I don't think speed sets were a good idea and everyone knows my opinion on auras.
Perhaps I'm living in the past when it comes down to it. Let's face it, there's no point in people crafting level 31 mythics to 36 because players can be level 50 in one day.
So yes, on reflection maybe you are right in what you say but it still doesn't make it right as far as enjoying AL and the experience of the game.
Thanks for your input.
[QUOTE=Mythocrisis;3715028]I agree on legendary gear that gives stats to new players.
But they do and will break their game if it's going to grant them money from future purchases... As they broke proc stacks for paving way for new mythics that will grant them revenue for obtaining best gear for the moment.
Once they have a new idea which is behind a paywall, these current items /mythic weapons (if interfering with new gear) will either be nerfed, kills proc (giving a reason that it was broken) so that people will buy new equipment.
This is the worst result for players who have supported by opening locks for those weapons.
Equivalent to a scam where suddenly someone loses all their worth (happened severely to warriors) and does not get any compensation whatsover.
This feature of losing all the worth of a continuos playing toon, happens only in this game...theres only speculation that something wrong is happening in their implementation. Yet they don't address this at all... Go figure.[/QUOTE
Thenn are you suggesting a situation where War have 8 differrent weapons? same for other classes? It's not like everybody has gold to buy all 8 different weaps... and you saying that it was a scam doesn't make sense since the "players" dictate the prices for everything on the market. It was the AL community who raised the prices higher than ever. It was not just you who made losses...a lot of us are, I'd still say the present sotuation is better compared to how it was at cap 76 (although war endgame pvp is a bit meh) .
Hi der guys and gals.. thought id chime in on this letter.
being a player of all sts games and playing a wide variety of ftp games....nothing comes close to sts mmo's. STS has a good strategy for mmo's weathers that's vanity's "usually what I hunt for" end game gear for pvp, or just lounging around "also what i do in STS games"
a game is what we make of it, and an auction house where player trade amongst themselves, or just doing low end levels, or testing your skills in leaderboard. for being a mobile game and not shoving constant ads in your face is something to be commended.
I've seen different communities flourish...but buy the same token...sour bitter players. things change to keep the games longevity so these games don't go out to pasture for a nice sunset. Yes there is times I don't agree with sts methods, but like any player base, voicing opinions helps develop the game that benefits the majority, instead of the few.
So thanks for writing a detailed letter, I hope you can one day return with open arms to this nice game.

-111 -111 you know what you talkin about? Ajaja! 250k gold 3mins dm run? You have 2k gl? Lmao

Who doesn't have 2k gl these days?
You are missing his point, the point is we are running the same maps for pure gold all the time. It is so repetitive that it becomes pointless, you also need gold to farm gold because of the prices of gold loot. Getting gold loot is an issue for newer players due to the fact of inflation. More gold is looted by players which causes the item prices to rise endlessly, people blindly blame price rise to manipulation but don't see the fact that millions of gold each day is added into the game from people farming. Sts adding items to rahabkor is a step forward because it doesn't need goldloot to run. They need to lay off on gold loot and add items to bosses but keep gold loot useful. Keep on with gold loot and AL will turn into DL economy. DL economy is every item costs 99999999999, gold is worthless there.

Prices rising indefinitely is only true for a limited number of vanities. Whereas gear is constantly supplied and gradually depreciates for each event with new crates that are released.
Gears only rise when they are new, obviously, and during awakening events, obviously, because that is when the majority of the player base gear up.
Removing or significantly reducing gold in Deepmarsh will actually harm newer players more. Because you're essentially depriving them of their income and they'll never be properly equipped for any Zodias content, which even fully equipped players struggle to run. What more from these ill-equipped, unknowledgable and mostly discriminated low lvl weak and new players?
I'd say to revise and implement a restriction to Deepmarsh, in which only lv75 gears and below can be used to play, and that you are penalized and can not run DM for 2 minites when you leave a random run.
That way fully equipped lv81 can't earn 30m a day while eyes are closed in DM, and to also significantly lessen picky players.

Not just endgame should be earning gold etc, if I ever made a game I would make tons of quests to get stuff to craft gears or loot good stuff at a low lvl map just so end game isn't the only way to have fun and even at end game it is boring once you are fully op. Its hard for me to explain but look at lv 16 arcane chest for example, no end gamer farms those but some new players get very lucky and loot them on their journey which helps them a ton.

Yea I agree with more means for new players to earn more gold amidst their journey. And generally more craftable gears.
Cuz how it currently is, I dislike how a good chunk of the gears are behind paywalls or just straight up as loots, instead of making it a craftable item and farm the components in various maps.

Agrees with Suzi, it’s the journey that’s most interesting. When I started (41cap) I ran by myself until lvl 23ish, didn’t even know or care maps could hold 4 ppl. Playing the story line and quests was what I downloaded for in first place. The social aspect was a nice bit and the occasional event an appreciated diversion..... now it’s all events and merch.. but yeah, noobs have it well enuff.
I’m rubber and you’re glue, what bounces off me, sticks on you..
Stop assuming my posts are emotional. I don’t care that much.
It was just an example, every boss attack ended in instakill.
On the other hand, in war the immortality lasts 3 seconds and the skill must be charged, in the case of the mage shield it lasts 2 seconds and it must also be charged, you must be quite precise to use it or you end up as a cheerleader behind a fence.
Even that, there is no teamwork, it is playing to save whoever can.
The above weapons are completely useless, that's why I say if you want to skip all instakill, you just buy a new mythic weapon and kill boss in a sec.
If you know the game, compared to other game mechanics from previous expansions, the current mechanics are quite lazy and poor.
Even Valley had more strategies and game modes, and I was never a fan of that map.
The best solution is to set a gold limit per level, or reduce it as you go up in level.
For example, you are level 71, and your maximum base of gold that you can get from deep is 100k, you go up to level 72, your maximum drops 15% then you drop to 85k maximum.
At level 73, another 15% is 30% less than at level 76, about 70k maximum. So 15% for each level you go up.
Then you get to level 81 and deep will give you little gold even if you have a lot of gl and it will discourage massive farm in those areas. But they will not be completely useless.
It could even be applied to all maps in the game, so a new player can make more gold while leveling up.
PS: the numbers are made up, they are just examples.
This is almost impossible since it can easily be abused.
Can't be abused if done correctly.

Do you mean MMOs? MOBA stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena like League of Legends, Dota 2, or Smite. AL is an MMORPG, Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing GAme.
And as somebody that does play another MMO, World of Warcraft, it is not at all new player friendly. The entire game is at endgame. Fortunately in that game you can get all your gear from pve, don't have to buy a thing. I played Pocket Legends at the lvl 66 cap and it was the same way, best gear from bosses, but AL has never really been that way.
Got them mixed up, thanks!
And yes, that is the problem. In AL you can't earn gold, at a manageable rate with respect to inflation, without good gear, and you can't get good gear without gold. Essentially, new players have an extremely declining chance of catching up to veterans by the day.
Maybe the devs are right for focusing on endgame since there are little to no new players, but maybe they're also the reason why people don't last in the game. The game isn't even marketed anymore, which probably means it's sustainable with the current playerbase (i.e. here have some recolored useless things to look cool, here have some new gears to be the strongest. Don't have gold? We got you fam, earn gold with plat or better yet be cool and be the strongest with plat).

Arcane legend has a lot of potential but I feel like they kinda headed in the wrong direction. Like expansion is always fun right but maybe we should just stick to that level cap. I don’t think leveling up is what people are excited about. People reached 81 in hours. Instead, why not focus more on adding more maps and different kind of weapons to use and not have one set that’s useful for that level. I feel like this is more about adding new content like maps, weapons, events, and even mini contest instead of adding more level caps
