But like I posted earlier most of these new people can't even lvl to 78 without asking for powerleveling. One person I know of that I invite here lvl'd to 78 without doing this. I got about 3 or 400 mil worth of stuff given out to new people that I will never see back. I did it to help out but why when they can't even lvl up to even lvl 80 on a 10x rate? I didnt get a handout when I joined. When reload saw I got that far on my own and I didnt bug them for powerlvl/money/handouts. It was given freely, food for thought for the new guys. As to your comment about I play active in this class or that class I deserve hero. I disagree man, keeping heros from other enemy clans is a tactic. want hero that bad? get your clan to help ya out. There's enough hand holding here as it is. I hear your argument about being archer brother, it has to suck when you can get resists stacked against your class for an hour long at a time. MS was never great at Oly anyways. Maybe they should add class based matches back in. I dont understand what they are trying to accomplish by restricting this option anyways. Some classes NEED class based to get their pts. So in that I got your back Wutang :)
Low Population..some thoughts
@Sera, The problem my friend its not the buffs/class or whatever, the problem was the GMs (my opinion).
I was one of the leaders of the biggest clan in l2Vanir, TrapRocks, and GMs just told us they dont want us in server cause we was trying to get a castle of an inactive clan with an alt clan. So we got paralized at pray, we got jails, chat bans and some ban accounts. Thats the results, you log at l2Vanir and you can see 150 players at alt+B and 130 are shops in Giran. My opinion if you want ppl to come at l2Vanir? Ignis need to change all the GM team, not put players as GMs or Mods, stop bullsh1ts about +3 items and no feed at class based in oly (players have the ability to stop everything if they dont like), QQing by players like wutang, me or everyone else GMs just dont need to care for example "if he takes my hero i ll leave server" and a GM pmed you to dont take the hero.
Anyway things will never change i think... if GM team dont change. Enjoy...
RoraN.
Maybe you're right, I wasn't around then to comment on that. If it's true I don't know what to say. But it doesn't help now as the new people that come here won't stick around due to a few things that gimp them out. the economy is rather pricey so I have just been working on getting mats/recs/ etc for myself. Did the gm's honestly tell you to leave the server tho as some castles are currently held by alt clans and clan halls too for that matter.
Hate to say it but I'd give up my play rights just to gm here. I like the server. I don't know what gm even do most the time. I'd have to say i cant see allowing someone to have a character and be a gm. Huge conflict of interest. I just want to see some good old mass pvp's. hell a 9v9 would be considered epic pvp on this server. I wish i had some old videos from my crashed pc. but im sure yall can look up on youtube mass pvp fights over antharas/baium and see what its supposed to be like.
" The problem my friend its not the buffs/class or whatever, the problem was the GMs (my opinion)".
Completly disagree considering we have had only one GM on a consistent basis. Sterling- and considering she kept the server up and afloat during a 3 and a half to four month time period where there was no Admin or other GMs and had very little powers to do things she is the only reason its still here .
Other GM's dont last for squat.The main issue and has always been the admin- disapears for months on end- shows up maybe once a week or so when he does pay attention to the server .
Server has run on auto piolit more then once,Server wipe change of buff times etc wont mean a thing unless the admin actually shows up more than once a week to a month.Then wonders why the server is failing.
The server admins absence is a whole other problem tho so I agree with that. Do we know how to get in contact with the admins? Can we maybe get Sterling to have admin powers? what about when sterling sleeps? Who gm's mods then? does he/she have a character? She has got after my ass in global for using a cuss word tho so I know she is out there somewhere. I have also heard rumor she is a member of Astale too. Well I tip my hat to Sterling for what she has done here, Im new and dont know much of the server history, it sounds like sterling needs a lil help too, maybe some more power. I don't know guys. I'm just trying to help out and brainstorm some ideas. Some of yalls defeatist attitudes gotta change tho too. Wutang it affects more than just you here too. Any mage or archers feels that pinch. Clans are all about working together to grow stronger as a group. So much solo BS goes on here tho it screams for changes to be made. You cant get it done in official like that and I understand it's a smaller community and private server here but some people think well Its small server with low population, I DESERVE this or that. I don't like that at all.
You guys understand this would affect me too right? Making changes for the server to get higher population. I dont have Counter critical yet, my cov is not oe at all yet, i dont even have bd/sws yet. I have no OL yet. I run around with mainly npc buffs. I can do almost anything I want in the game solo within reason with npc buffer alone. CoV was meant for party play and tw/siege/oly to get those classes into needed groups. Not so we could run around full time buffed up lol.
Also i want my Judicator buffs increased to 60 min too plz if nothing else, it's only fair right?
@Disney if some of the things that the gm's have done here are true it's a bunch of BS and I cant change whats happened nor have the authority to. The buffs is a huge problem tho as it can nearly nullify many classes ability to do dmg, which is what many are designed around. Why not let destroyers run around with frenzy 60 min? What about GK with 60 min zealot. You see my point here? You can't pick and choose with this as it makes some classes too overpowered, at the same time we make argument that it's ok to gimp a bunch of popular classes by allowing 60 min song/dance, because we think nobody will play those classes, when in fact some prolly would. Myself included here. have you ever shot someone with a bow when they are resist stacked against you as an archer? Nuked someone resist stacked against you as a mage? I mean Phoenix/Hell Knight were ok before. The only tanks that needed some love were Sk/Tk. I'm just saying you/we want more people here but we are eliminating the need/desire to play a bunch of classes cuz whats the point? Are bd/sws/wc/ol/3 archers/mages/ really not wanted here? Should we all just play tanks and then qq about steal divinity lol? Want to know why Kamael get complained about? Can kite most melee til they unbuffed. Want a solution? Bring the damn archers/mages. Oh wait they dont play here because we have severely gimped their classes. Whats the fun in all of that. Its balanced around group pvp not 1v1 and there's a hell of a lot more to it than Olympiad man.
I've been an advocate to changing the buffs here since the day I became a GM, so far very little of what I wanted to see has been implemented.
As for me being a player, I'll answer that directly but otherwise I like to see the player opinions in this post. I used to play, and was a member of many clans at some point. Now my computer has fried itself and I'm lucky I'm able to log in the GM when I do. You'll hear many rumors against it, but that's just what they are, rumors. Ignis might be innactive but he's not stupid. I GM here in my free time, nothing more.
