Listen up and put your seat belts on. This is a crash course on how to save this server and make it something beautiful.
Lets talk about PVM
Positive PVM things CURRENTLY
-Endless Tower
Problems right now
-Party play is almost non existent, besides ET
-Leeching is the only way to level up fast
-No challenge in leveling, only challenge is getting motivation* to spend the time leveling
Proposed Solutions
-Bring back turn in events, but no Dragon TI. Turn in's are "bad", but at least they make party play and party play is fun! I can/have made a level 1 non trans to 99 trans by leeching within a couple days, so a TI events not that "OP". Something like Ice Dungeon turn in would give decent EXP and be fun at the same time. People would make random parties and meet new players. Ice Dungeon parties don't require nearly as good of a "setup" as Dragons, so newer players could be involved.
-Make high end leech spots PK enabled. This should defiantly include Thors and Dragons. There is no "risk" in leeching currently. If it is PK enabled you can still make crazy exp, but at the same time more people can have fun! Some people might enjoy killing others which could create party vs party fights, to protect the leechers. If anybody has ever experienced guild dungeon wars, then you know the high level of potential fun that could come out of this.
-Make a faster system to find/create parties. Depending on the forums to setup parties is a failure. Stop reading this and go check out the "Classic guild/party section" and prove me wrong. There is no easy way to setup parties with friends/random people. Maybe make a spot in game for "party recruiting". Perhaps an NPC that can organize and notify people when people are looking for parties. Of course this will be a failure if leeching is still exponentially better then party play.
-Bio 3 spawns. I do not personally want another easy leech, but at least this form of leeching requires more then 1 person to run.
PVP/BG
Postive PVP things CURRENTLY
-I am very happy about the server wide announcements. "PVP is a picnic with 14 people" ect. VERY nice job with this
Problems right now
-PVP is absolutely dead 24/7.
-BG: Once people get there gears via medals they are less likely to go back.
-A lot of people want to fight each other, but it takes a days to find another person in pvp to fight against.
Proposed Solutions
-Make a weekly PVP event "best in server". 1v1 fights, 3v3 fights ect. Event manager keeps track of wins (event manager can be a volunteer, doesn't need to be GM). Wins per week add up to points and ever who has the most points quarterly wins a prize.
-Put PVP warpers in all towers near Kafra.
-BG: Maybe add new equipment (SN staff with SG 10 for example) or add new consumables (Acid Bomb sets for example) to the rewards.
WoE
I do not want to touch the "WoE" topic, since people will highly disagree and get the thread closed. Instead, please post what you think would make WoE better and if you say "people" then what would attract the people to play this server?
