Greetings Temperions!

 

Hi, my name is Alteris. It has been a long time since I talked with you all and I am happy to greet you once again. Some of you may not recognize my name- I was a producer for Requiem in the not too distant past. 

 

I come bearing some very big news today regarding the future of Requiem. As some of you, our most loyal fans, have noticed over the last few years, Requiem has had a lack in content and development. While Helium has tried to maintain the quality of the game as well as he could, this job was never meant to be held by one person. And I want to thank him and his valiant effort for trying to give our Requiem players a place to have fun and excitement.

 

With much convincing to the upper management, Gravity Interactive has formed a new development team, Team Nightmare.

Team Nightmare will be dedicated to updating and creating new content for the game. For the next few months, our team will be analyzing the code, fixing bugs and starting development and rebalancing for the game.

 

This is a large task, and a task I am all too familiar with. I ask you, the community of Requiem, for help in order to make the game a better place. We would like to gather feedback from all of our players and try to find long-standing bugs, glitches, problems, and general improvement needs. With your help, we know that Requiem will be polished for the better.

We would also like to acknowledge that with the way Requiem is right now, it would be an overwhelming task to correct. We see the condition of the game, we’ve been playing with you for the past few weeks. We see the terrible shape that the economy is in, as well as the errors that you face. In order to truly fix this world, we will have to build it anew. And with that said, we will sadly have to announce the closure of the current version of the game. But, before we fully close the game, we would like to hold in-game events for you all to experience a last hurrah of Ethergia before the server sunsets.

Once the server is down, we will be in development mode fixing the game and improving it as we go. And during that time we would like to host live-streams and Discord chats regarding the game’s future. I want to show you upcoming changes, balance tweaks, and improvements to the game. We want the community involved in the steps to the eventual launch of the new and improved Requiem. 

I am very excited for this opportunity with you all. And I look eagerly towards the future of Requiem.

WoW after all the money time and effort put in our toons, We will just lose everything after all these years and then we have to start all over, Good luck with that

 

[Cleffy]

Hmm let's see.

In general, the game is 32-bits which leads to addressable memory issues and max limits. The game's database has a certain limit that once reached makes the game unplayable.

Armor does not work after level 65. The calculation for damage reduction is linear and does not scale with levels. It also seems to use a needlessly complex formula that just drains resources. The benefits of some classes become moot after a certain point as a result.

Enemies in general have no magic resistance while taking very little damage from melee attacks making raids pointless for up front characters.

There are many calculations done client side rather than server side. This makes it very easy to cheat even with anti-cheat programs.

 

For class balance, there are several aspects of the game where certain classes have no purpose participating. In my view all classes should be viable in all aspects of the game.

 

I highly suggest looking at the basic rules/calculations of the game and make these aspects simple to understand and implement. This will make balancing and scalability easier.

[PsychicVet]

Agree with you Cleffy. The legacy aspect of game engine needs to be addressed. There are new technologies that can enhance the game play and keep hacks from occurring. 

As far as the balance of the characters (seen some complaints of Mage tanks, this shows the understanding of the current calculations and made useful and having all classes have the same abilities and /or strength is the only way to assure true balance). True 64bit processing can make this unique to this game. Implementing a unique ID database for items could also solve some issues.

It is understood that any data stored client side can be manipulated to the advantage of the individual client (including calculations).

 

Another issue I'd like to address is the forced co-dependency (PTx4), Although it is smart to have a tank, a healer and a DPS, it should not be forced, this tactic also allows the payers to decide who goes where and the quality of the individual game play.

 

I'd like to see 2 servers, 1 PvP for those who think it awesome to kill low levels (what are they a better kill than Lord Wiernuman, if one can kill him how is a lower level more fun??)

And

a PvE server (referred to as the Carebear server) - I for one can spend just as much money killing Monsters as they that spend money to kill lower levels (such a challenge as that is.)

I've had my say - looking forward to the new Ethergia. 

 

[1579170620203103813]

Any discord for this game ? please inform us if the new server coming 

[Garo12415]

Is there a discord link?

[dydalea]

Welcom back Alteris,

nice to see you back (Dyshana here)

 

So:

- bring back PVE server

- unban european players

- balance the classes

- less pay per win content

 

Good luck for your new job

 

[MaximusRex]

Being a player that was part of the original beta and for the first 4 years or so until the game became unplayable... I would love to be part of the development server.  There needs to be participation from the community to help shape the alpha. Honestly I think that is what you are going to need (on top of a decent future marketing campaign) to get this shipped turned back around. "You can do it!"

[2950190104141615617]

Hello everyone!

Such a good news - i hope its not a "last words" from devps.

I agree with guyz we should test together. Give us discord server for talk.

As for fixes:

- first of all unban EU players (probably we will get a new game where unban not need)

- same priority: a lot of hackers such a speedhack, invisible etc.;
- crashing the game after loading the screen while teleporting or doing smth.

I dont wanna discuss abt balance, skills and other stuff because u can analyze yourself from backline. For example - broken arena.

The main point - destroy all ways for hacking and using exploits. This is why i left 1 year ago with last ppl who loved game so much.

May could be the helper from RU community.

Best wishes, one of the greatest Defi.

Hi CERAN here, I'm also a beta player, I have no problems restarting from the ground up but I feel like a reward for playing so long would be awesome, something cosmetic with no advantage, like a weapon skin or character skin? Idk something that says thanks for playing so long!

[sonemere]

if you take away the time ppl have invested into the current version of the game....expect them to invest more. u are a a fool.
i started 2008 valentines event.

the only thing i expect is events to rake in money....addressing broken forge system until u decide to take away 10 years players time.

All the things you just pointed out are very true. Many of these are on very high in our list of priorities, if not the top.

- bring back PVE server

- unban european players

Thank you it's good to be back.

 

We are currently working with the legal team to get Europe back into the game.

The others on your list is definitely things we are looking deeply into.

[bascuthach]

i don't disagree with the reset because of the duping, i think the malls should be returned to the players in the format of malls, i don't expect to get my money back but i would like to see my malls returned to my account, how do i know that if i buy more malls you wont do another reset and make me start over again?

[ravenhart]

Alteris, it's good to see you back on here, been too long! As glad as I am to see that new and better things are coming to the game, I was wondering if it would be possible to have a server added for the current characters/mall items/as is game, or as an alternative, a downloadable local server/single player version for the current characters/mall items/game state. Many of us have come and gone and came back since beta. We've had our characters since season 1, and some of the items since then too. We've purchased premium and mall items, and attempted to create the best versions of our characters that we could get. We've made friends from various parts of the world that we never would have met because of this game, some of which that have become like family. These past few years have been rough for many of us, and if anything, have shown the brokenness and flaws that is humankind, but this game, as broken as it is, has been something that we can turn to and reconnect with. I think our characters, our attempts, and over a decade's worth of time deserve a better end than an erasure into nonexistence. I don't mind starting over on a new character for a reborn game, but would appreciate being able to keep what we created over the last decade as well. Having access to a single player/local server/private server or even an alternate server would also allow us to have something from this game to enjoy while we wait on you guys to hopefully recreate this game into what it should have become...the best, bloodiest horror MMORPG out there.

 

[sonemere]

i agree with ravenhart. just add steam req server downloadable?

then ur hands arent tied to it anymore.

[LunarWolf]

So you're deleting everyone's time and money invested making their characters no point sticking around for the re-release.

[dydalea]

About deleting... well it was what happened to all european players, and those who continued to play ehm... let's say "moving out" of Europe had to re-start from 0 (I'm from Europe, and old PVE player), and resetting now again would mean restart for the 3rd time, but it's ok. It would be interesting to know what will happen to mall points (after all the choice of the server is after the login, so they could keep your not-yet-used mall points).

I will lose everything for the 2nd time, but if it will make the game better, welcome to the new server. And by the way, we know Alteris, he is a good guy, that always put great effort in trying to make Requiem better (listening to the players). Let's trust him.

So welcome new server, welcome Alteris, welcome a new better Requiem

[spider333]

Hi,

 

(Excuse my English, I'm trying my best.)

 

These are really good news, looking forward to the Requiem re-launch.

 

Here's the list of suggestions I made for the new version:

 

-Return any remaining mall points to our warp portal accounts. That should be a common sense.

 

Horror and gore:

-Keep dismemberment (rag doll physics) if possible.
-Add more blood and gore, we are M rated after all.
-Add more environmental effects, more scary visual effects and scary sounds, mobs crawling out from shadows and holes.
-Make Requiem much harder and 'run for your life' when nightmare time kicks in, maybe by adding 'Shock&Panic' debuff globally.
-Give all mobs more skill attacks and effects, like fire breathing, acid spitting, stuns, debuffs.

-Make game feel harder but also rewarding.

 

Game world/Gameplay:

-Add in-game crafting recipe book.

-Make crafting accessible for all, by having a few possible ways of obtaining certain key ingredients.

-Make all mobs drop some material used in crafting gear, so that all mobs and locations become more visited.
-Add professions with success chance bonus for armor, weapon or potion crafting.
-Add a new map, make better use of existing maps, use all those empty locations, spread out/relocate mobs, raise terrain texture resolution.
-Make raids more engaging with waves of mobs spawning at 100,75,50,25,5% of bosses HP.
-Make raids only be able to start through party/alliance search window.
-Give us more bags, bag tabs, and make tabs weapons only, armor only,materials only and so on.
-Get rid of premium dungeons and make daily open world quests for all levels, maybe have them as premium unlimited quests.
-Make guild wars more rewarding, like, give the winning guild to control a map and set forge fees and taxes, have guild war every weekend.
-Adjust neglected weapons so they all become usable, like claws, axes, bludgeons, both 1H and 2h.
-Make game world feel more alive, add NPCs fighting off mobs, nightmare mobs attacking bivouacs, have NPC trading caravans on every road.

-Keep support for win 7/dx9 please.

 

Skills/Balance:

 

-Get rid of auto attack and attack speed altogether, keep 3 skill queue.
-Put skills and their dna on the same page.
-Create 2 or 3 skill/dna build tabs, and add mall item that enables switching between builds with 5min cool down to prevent PvP abuse.
(Requiem Bloodymare had a ton of skills and possible builds, just get rid of prerequisites for all skills).
-Reduce the range of all cast and ranged skills to 25m max, reduce cast time.
-Cap AOE dmg and stun to max 4 targets for all classes.

-Give all melee classes 4 target AOE on all attack/stun  skills.
-Make no stun last more than 3 seconds, and lower the cool down on it.

(Yes, OP classes need to go, and all classes should be equally desirable in any raid or grind party, no privileges.)

 

Wishfull thinking:

-Unreal engine.
-Make requiem last forever.

 

Open world pvp/pve raid suggestion:

-Point A to point B, caravan/pedler escort scenario.
(Let's say NovaLux to Rozen HQ on Parness, or Trifri to Trasse on South Hammerine.)

-Each map can have set player level requirement.
-Raid starts after all defenders join in, that sets attacker alliance gear cap, it can be adjusted for balancing purposes.

-Votekick can be implemented to prevent abuse on each side.

-There is a joining fee between let's say 100k and 500k that is set by defenders for both sides,
-If your side wins each winning participant gets x3 their initial investment,
-Each side can be capped to 1 alliance.
-Both sides can only attack each other, and no player outside those 2 factions can attack them before the quest is finished. Other players can only lurk and cheer.

Reward:
-Investment x3, 1 day buffs, crafting materials, 1 day title.

 

So it's like betting on your team. Lurkers can bet on either side too.

 

There, maybe I'll add some more later

 

Edit:

 

Gameplay:

-Create global loot table, where we could tick boxes for lant, weapon, armor, materials, pots, ornaments, bound items, event items.

 

Skills:

-Change all skill formula to +% or +X times DMG so they all become scalable to level cap.

A player some years ago tried to create a private server, but I believe he was threatened with a lawsuit?

[sonemere]

ravenhart is asking for invested time. players have been investing their time and in some cases hundreds & thousands of dollars. asking for a playable downloadable server, where we could transfer our invested time into, through steam is just a gesture that our time has not been wasted.

all characters on all accounts transferred to one with global shared bags.

Class Re-Valance

 

For this topic I’ll be including some of my observations.

 

Stats

The stat are what make each class different apart from skills, but with the current system the mages took the upper hand by just focusing on 2 stats;

CON = HP

INT = Magic Damage and Skill Critical Adicional Damage.

 

Observation:

When a physical class focus on the same stats.. lets say STR and CON, the final outcome isn’t even half close to what the mages can reach.

 

You can do this test yourself.

There are 2 issues that nerf physical class when we compare those Stats build.

 

1- For some reason, Mages always get 100% Critical chance without any extra enchant.

2- Even if INT and STR both give damage + Critial Aditional Damag, Physical shield does not reduce the Magic Critial Aditional Damag.. But Magic shield does reduce the Physical Critial Aditional Damage.

 

See the difference?

Example: PCAD/Physical Critial Aditional Damag.. SCAD/Magic Critial Aditional Damag

Mage damage 100 + 100 SCAD = 200 Total damage

Physical damage 100+100 PCAD = 200 Total damage

 

That should be the right Total of each hit right??

But in real game its not.. you see, ingame the shields have a stat called “Block Defense”

What Block Defense does is: Reduce the PCAD

Lets say, Shield has 50 Block Defense, if we apply the previous damage calculation to this shield the final result is:

 

Physical damage 100+100 PCAD = 200 Total damage

-50 from Block Defense = 150 Total damage

-Block Defense only reduce the PCAD and not the SCAD

So, even if the physical class has a shield with 1000 Block Defense, mage will still hit = 200

100 from normal damage + 100 from SCAD

 

To solve this issue, I say that the only class with Block Defense should be the Protector.

Block Defense should be an exclusive treat for Protector, This will ensure that the only class with Tank Capabilities will be the Protector.

Also, Block Defense for Prot, shoud affect both Physical and Magic Damage as well.

 

 

Class Re-Valance

 

 

Stat

DEX. Any class that’s his main stat is DEX, is super underpower as DEX does not provide damage or Aditional Damage as STR or INT.

 

DEX Main usage was suppose to be for Evasion, but since day 1 this didn’t work.

Your Accuracy and Evasion rate does not mach each other, or dont work at all.

Just 1 level difference is enough to make the opponent miss 1 out of 3 hits

10 level difference makes you miss 50%

over 10 level difference makes you miss 80/100% regardless of your Accuracy.

So please fix this, as there are 2 classes that focus on DEX as Main stat.

 

 

 

Defense

Each class should have its own CAP Defense.

Mages and physical should never have the same Defense.

First of all, there should be a clear Cap Defense for each class, with Protector being at the Top.

 

Defense Table

Protector

3000

Commander

2000

Warlord

1500

Berserker

1300

Assasin/Shadow Runner

1400

Druid Doom form

2,000 – 2,500

All Mages

1000

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Physical Damage

When talking about physical damage, we all agree that if the chosen class has the lowest HP/DEF it deserve the top damage, and thinking about this principle here are my observations:

 

1rst – Physical damage should be 1.5 stronger than magic with the same stat

So if:

1000 INT = 200 Magic Damage and 200 SCAD

1000 STR should be = 300 Physical Damage and 300 PCAD

 

Damage Table

Berserker

3000 – Normal Auto Attack – High HP

Assasin

2800 – Faster Auto Attack – Normal HP + Poison

Shadow Runner

2500 - Faster Auto Attack – Normal HP + Poison

Warlord

2000 – Several Area Skills – High HP

Commander

2000 - Several Area Skills – Normal HP

Protector

1800 - Several Area Skills – High HP

 

 

 

 

 

Physical/Magic Critial Adicional Damage should only be provided by set/armor bonus.

 

 

Magic Damage

 

For Mages the table is simple as melee…

Higher the Damage – Lower the Heal or not healing at all

 

Not all mages need healing skills, Only Radiant should have healing skills, mystic totem should have Fixed Healing with no extra heals.

 

All other none Support classes should not have Heal, Dash, Stun, Bind, Etc.

 

Example: Tempest

x3 AoE Skills 20sec each, Sleep, Teleport every 3sec, 2 Healing skills

 

Mystic

x2 AoE Skills 20sec each, 20m stun, 3 healing skills including a Totem that last for around 25sec healing over 1k per sec, not to mention the instant AoE cast with DNA.

Note: When you make an AoE instant Cast, you totally kill the oportunity for melee classes to counter attack.

 

AoE instant cast should never be implemented.

 

 

 

 

Poison

Back in Season 1, Bloody Mare, Shadow Runner was a good character to play with, but this came to an end the moment you implemented “Poison Cure” into Mystic Healing Totem, This move totally killed the class, leaving SR with just 1 useful skill “Silence”

Solution - Healing totem shouldn’t be able to cure Poison from pvp skills.

Poison effect should be Powered up, and should be feared by everyone regardless the class.

Make Poison Build possible for Assasin and Shadow Runner.

 

 

Critical Chance %

Many players took advantage of this valuable stat, making possible to reach 100% crit chance with every class, this value also killed the valance of the game, doing it impossible to play unless you also have 100% crit chance.

Solution – Max Critical Chance% available should be around 60-70%, Being the Assasin the one with the Highest chance to reach max with his own skills/buff “Skill Fortitude”

 

Stun Lock

Stun lock shouldn’t be possible, after each stun, there should be at least 2sec immunity, This will avoid the disaster you made when you gave Druid 5 Stuns...

I’m not against the Druid class.. but wow man, 5 stuns to a magic class? +AoE Stun 6sec? +4sec Dash? +Perma Anti stun? +20sec AoE?… This must be avoided at all cost.

 

Graphic

This game may have the top visual graphic back in 2007, but now in 2021 you need to invest in visual effects, music Etc.

Maybe upgrade to Unreal Engine 2-4, as those are cheaper and still work great.

Just as Reference, you may take a look at the mobile game Black Desert,

Low resource and great performance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[6571151031043410093]

please bring back season one ( requiem bloodymare), golden requiem time

[XElesisX]

Hi all,

 

Balance should be like this:

 

Top Damage dps:

Berzerker  -  Top Damage

Assasin    - Close to top damage but faster attack speed

Ranger   -  Close to top damage but faster attack speed

Shadow Runner  -  Close to top damage but faster attack speed

 

Top Defense:

Protector

Commander

Avenger

Warlord

 

 

Less AoE = more 1v1 damage

No AoE at all = Top damage

 

 

For mages:

Cap Defense at half the physical players max

Mages should never be able to overpower melee classes at Defense.

Lets say, Shield has 50 Block Defense, if we apply the previous damage calculation to this shield the final result is:

 

Physical damage 100+100 PCAD = 200 Total damage

-50 from Block Defense = 150 Total damage

-Block Defense only reduce the PCAD and not the SCAD

So, even if the physical class has a shield with 1000 Block Defense, mage will still hit = 200

100 from normal damage + 100 from SCAD

 

To solve this issue, I say that the only class with Block Defense should be the Protector.

Block Defense should be an exclusive treat for Protector, This will ensure that the only class with Tank Capabilities will be the Protector.

Also, Block Defense for Prot, shoud affect both Physical and Magic Damage as well.

 

 

Class Re-Valance

 

 

Stat

DEX. Any class that’s his main stat is DEX, is super underpower as DEX does not provide damage or Aditional Damage as STR or INT.

 

DEX Main usage was suppose to be for Evasion, but since day 1 this didn’t work.

Your Accuracy and Evasion rate does not mach each other, or dont work at all.

Just 1 level difference is enough to make the opponent miss 1 out of 3 hits

10 level difference makes you miss 50%

over 10 level difference makes you miss 80/100% regardless of your Accuracy.

So please fix this, as there are 2 classes that focus on DEX as Main stat.

 

 

 

Defense

Each class should have its own CAP Defense.

Mages and physical should never have the same Defense.

First of all, there should be a clear Cap Defense for each class, with Protector being at the Top.

Physical Damage

 

When talking about physical damage, we all agree that if the chosen class has the lowest HP/DEF it deserve the top damage, 

 

Physical damage should be x1.5 to x2 stronger than magic damage, use your own calculation method.

 

AoE instant cast should never be implemented.

 

 

 

 

Poison

Back in Season 1, Bloody Mare, Shadow Runner was a good character to play with, but this came to an end the moment you implemented “Poison Cure” into Mystic Healing Totem, This move totally killed the class, leaving SR with just 1 useful skill “Silence”

Solution - Healing totem shouldn’t be able to cure Poison from pvp skills.

Poison effect should be Powered up, and should be feared by everyone regardless the class.

Make Poison Build possible for Assasin and Shadow Runner.

 

 

Critical Chance %

Many players took advantage of this valuable stat, making possible to reach 100% crit chance with every class, this value also killed the valance of the game, doing it impossible to play unless you also have 100% crit chance.

Solution – Max Critical Chance% available should be around 60-70%, Being the Assasin the one with the Highest chance to reach max with his own skills/buff “Skill Fortitude”

 

Stun Lock

Stun lock shouldn’t be possible, after each stun, there should be at least 2sec immunity, This will avoid the disaster you made when you gave Druid 5 Stuns...

I’m not against the Druid class.. but wow man, 5 stuns to a magic class? +AoE Stun 6sec? +4sec Dash? +Perma Anti stun? +20sec AoE?… This must be avoided at all cost.

64 bit + Unreal Engine 

 

 

 

Add Class personal treats, like:

 

Assasin - Double damage when HP reach 10%

Berzerker - Increases damage the lower his HP (max 100% dmg at 10% hp)

Protector - Attack Mode - sacrifice healing and defense for power (5-10sec duration)

 

Equip each class with somethig different and unique.
