Mid Rate.. will anyone join now?

[idaBigA]

Just thought I would ask..

Every person from Mid Rate (well.. maybe only 99.5%) have 3 chars of 55+, I levelled a Wiz from 0-44 in about 40 mins (till I got bored) using these pets and the high exp (Plus exp bonus off NPC). If I had tried a little harder and gone somewhere else, I could probably have attained around level 48 in an hour.. Everyone starting from now onwards will have nothing to help them.. It will also take them at least 40 times longer to get to the same level (unless they are levelled up by someone)

The best pets I could get before these silly ones was RedFoxes (Black ones on War/Tao are worse than useless), all other pets are too slow to be of any use what-so-ever.

I just thought it was a valid question..

Fixes???? Fix the Pets

Bring in a system that will give you any pet.. but the cost doubles every 2 levels earlier you want the pet..

So..

Level 57 = Some sort of Kektal 100k?

Therefore..

Level 55 = Same Mob - 200k
Level 53 = Same Mob - 400k
51 = 800k
49 = 1.6 mil
47 = 3.2 mil
45 = 6.4 mil
43 = 12.8 mil
41 = 25.6 mil..

etc..

What this does is give you the chance of getting a pet earlier than normal, and giving you a hand with your levelling.. If you want me to write the script, I will do, it aint hard, just a little long :P

Fixes???? New Chars

Cash, give players a little starting cash (20k for teleports) and a Pet (a RedFox?)

Personally I'd like to see chars made having the option of starting at 33, maybe 35, some people enjoy those levels... For those of us who've played Mir for a while, they've become quite tedious.

The general idea of fixing the pet system sounds great, though it needs a lot more work than that, ie pets that are worth taking (once you have RME items you can generally get away with pulling 5+ mobs at a time, if your kit's quite good, you barely get hit) as they die and got pulled away from you by ranged mobs... Once that happens they end up dead, lol. Maybe just up all pet's ac/amc to the point that bdd mobs barely hit them and lower their dc a little to compensate (that's like 40-40 ac/amc, that's not much really).

could bring in a sub class system if you thought it was getting boring..would spice it up a bit. different system for wizz/warr/tao.

Like WoW has with the 3 different talent trees? If so, would you make it resettable, or are you thinking more like Diablo2 where once you've picked your skills/talents etc, that's that for the character? Either way I quite like it, making a balanced version then... Good luck. >_<

[Flame]

you can make it like you said frm the Talent trees on WoW, but u wud get a class ring (stats go up every 10 lvls) and at centre times you can change it for 5mil (say if it started at 40 then you can change it every 20 lvls for only the 5mil) and your ring, then at other times you need to pay 10mil (say every 10 lvls but his wud be a more costly time to change it) and then you wud have your own class spells a long with it.

Sounds good, as long as it had really good stats, as loads of people seem to have heavily gemmed rings or Heaven Rings - It'd also obviously need to be the same as FateSwords, ie it's stuck on your char and can't be dropped/traded etc, effectively you're giving everyone a HeavenRing, which I guess would be fine.

I've played a lot of classes on WoW and one of the best parts about them is their unique tree's, the ability of being able to tank (have a boss hitting you and no-one else), heal or do high damage as a caster, with a change of kit and a small portion of gold for a respecc (means changing your talent tree) is AWESOME... We wouldn't have such versatility here, but we could have some really helpful stuff, I'd love to see different builds to benefit different situations - Like on WoW certain tree's are really great for fighting other players, whereas some are rather useless. It'd also give people more reason to level, especially if they got 1 point per level.

thinking along the lines of a class ring that cant be droppped on death but can be added by gems/orbs-but risk breaking it and you have to pay 50mil/7500gps to get it back.seems fair lol

[Tallos]

Ummmm, either up the cash cost or heavily lower the gps, on here cash doesn't mean much - Heaven Items go for over 1 bil, the gps cost is frigging insane, considering only ZT and PT KR's give gps, so I'd say 3k would be a fair amount, maybe up the cash cost to 100-150m. The general idea sounds really good, just needs some minor tweaks and I think it'd go brilliantly.

You description on changing it was a bit fuzzy, so I'll lay out the way I'd personally do it and if it's basically what you said, great, if not, tell me what you think.

At level 40 you're given (let's steal WoW terms just to simplify) one "Talent Point" per level, you're able to invest these in any of your 3 (we might have more, or less?) "Talent Tree's", each "Tree" is designed to offer something different for your class. Every class's tree has points scattered around that strengthen current skills (a Tao could have a Magical Damage tree, which contains things like "Increases the damage your SFB and AdvSFB do by 5%" and have 5 possible points to go in there, so if you were to put 5 in, you'd gain the total benefit of +25% dmg from SFB and AdvSFB).

The ring would be called a 'ClassRing' and have stats similar to a HeavenRing, though I think they should be a touch stronger (we've got a few people over 70 now, so we're going to see them disappearing soon to make MirRevRing's) and maybe at level 70 you can put 4 of them together to make a ClassRevRing? To avoid exploitation I think the best way to handle that is if you give your ring to the NPC and pay the cost for 3 more rings, which would give you the ClassRevRing. The original ring would gain a stat boost at 50, 60 and 65, the ClassRevRing could be a little more frequent, maybe 70, 74, 77, 79, 81 and then once every 2 levels? As at that level, it'll be damn slow going. For the beginning changes I'd say 10, 15 and 20m would be good prices to upgrade the ring. For 70+ maybe go with the same system (you'd of just forked out 450m cash, so putting big chunks in to the ring again would be harsh as hell) and if you wish you may skip upgrades, so you'd get it at 40, when you're level 60 you could skip the 10m upgrade and just take the 15m one?

Anyway, I'm going too far in to detail when this probably won't be put ingame, if it is, I'll be happy to help devise a system that'd work well.
