facts XD It's insane to nerf everything left right and center, to keep talking that "oLd WoM hAd OvErPoWeReD sTuFf" while making all the wrong changes literally EVERYWHERE. Snake you had the best server possible in your hands and you managed to ruin it, honestly congrats. And do NOT come and say again how you care about the server and the longevity and what players want because you don't. If you did care you would realise that holding onto your ideas and living with the self-centered idea that you know best is not a great idea. You've touched and ruined literally every aspect of the game:
- Upgrading sucks, who cares, it's supposed to be hard, oh some guys get their stuff +9 from the first time and some waste 20-30kkk to still be at +8? unlucky.
- The fishing mini-game literally everyone hates and we can't enjoy the new update because of it, but who cares it "reduces" the hackers number.
- Mining you made an absolute joke of the refine rate, so you'll go with an inventory of ore, that's 45k ore, and get maybe 20-30 refined ores.
- Metins? I'll give you my chars to go farm some to see the great drop. Bosses? Same thing, but that's okay, just go do a lvl 96 char like everyone else. Oh wait, we did make a lvl 90 one and the drop is almost the same.
- Chaos drop? On average 3 changers, maybe 5 if you're super lucky, but mostly 1-2 cuz... why more? Chaoses on the OG server were something fun to do and people looked forward to breaking them. Here I keep hundreds of them because I don't feel motivated to break them.
- Battlepass? Here struggle to do it to get a costume and some decent stuff on the way, but don't worry, those artizanal you got after breaking 3k metins and losing your sanity? Worse than blessing scroll, you have better luck on the blacksmith.
- Dungeons? Haha you just had to ruin those too. Cooldown per PC that only annoyes people like me that play alone or with one partner, the people that play half a guild for a char will have no problem to farm x10 dungeons at the same time.
- Bonuses? What, 2hh 2 status 6 drop aren't good variations? Go waste thousands of changers to get 4x6 750hp on an armor. Or a good hundred changers to never see Immune on a shield.
- PvM resistances are not 100% cuz f you, go get killed everywhere by everything. Blessing spell is only 75% for the same reason, combine that with the berserk extra damage perk and there you are, a body warrior getting abused by every monster possible. Even with good items XD
- PvP? Why bother since the visual bug is so strong you literally don't see the guy you're dueling with cast the skills that kill you. Or he's in map2 for you but he's actually right next to you. I don't even wanna talk about the damage, random chars without bio, alchemy, even full P deal at least 10k damage and somehow that's okay, really looking forward to farming 2 years nemere to see some big balancing change because of the nemere items. On a side note I bet nemere will have a random cooldown because why not?
And the crap the team pulls like the liquid thing yesterday before the GT is questionable to say it nicely. And don't go and say "we stated it will be like this from the start' or some other excuses. You made a vague forum post and people assumed you'd get one thing right, the tournament. Dearest team, you are doing the same mistakes Paci made on dev side with this obssession to make the server "hard" and the same mistakes the "managing" side of the team made on the OG Wom. What will happen is history will repeat itself and you'll lose most playerbase and you'll close it again with some ghost excuse nobody will believe.
General public opinion is everyone is sick and tired of updates they can't enjoy, stupid minigames at every corner, random new school stuff while also dying on the hill that this is an old school server, but we can't have the new school stuff we want, just the ones we hate. And this big rant is coming from someone that was here from day one and defended you and supported you from day one. And even I am goddamn tired.
For the TLDR people, long story short start CARING about what players want.
THANKS
