Event suggestion

[Killshot89]

Personally found it difficult to find rats, but in all honesty, I could be fucked running to 8 diff maps for a potential ticket so just pay to get in.

Yh this is a pretty honest assessment of the event

Seems to me that high level players are happy with it, and low level players are ridiculed for mentioning the challenge they are facing, seemingly not putting enough effort in.
The fact of the matter is: I have spent almost 17 hours running around looking for rats and had very little success. Rich players spending GG to enter caves are laughing.

It's almost as if high level/rich players are scared of lower levels catching up to compete with them. So they say all is fine, meanwhile they don't need to look for rats and just spend gold/GG instead.

Newer players are the future of games, unless you are happy playing with the same players every day, where eventually numbers will dwindle... which in return eventually leads to servers dying out. Scorpian said himself that he has recently seen a surge of new players, I know at least 4 of these new players that since Xmas have quit.

Newer players are indeed the future, so much time and effort has been invested in them in the last 4 months. The amount of easy xp and kit that has been made available for them is insane. One of the top 3 players on the server is only 4 months old.

ItÂ’s very easy to play this event without a lot of gg.... searching for a rat for 17 hours is not the way though

If you need help with a new approach to making the most out of it, pm me when I get home after 12 tonight and I’ll explain for you

Go talk to great1. He joined well after most of the people that have been established for years and is now one of the highest levels in-game.

I'd love more competition in-game and scorp has made the server so much easier than when I started 6 years ago. The problem is these events give a bad expectation to what the every day game is like.

I went from last easter to halloween in a crystal arm. Then from halloween til recently to have full celestial. How is it fair to the players that have invested years when someone can catch up and fully gear in 1 event? No one on euro expected to hit 47 in any respectable time frame.

Tldr progress is a slow process and not handing everything out on a platter makes it fair to everyone. It also ensures a stable market for those that are buying and selling. Gold isn't hard to make and neither is gg if you focus on it.

You said yourself that you made 6K GG in a Halloween event, but if anyone else dares to want to make progress in an event or expects anything it's a no?

Anybody could be challenging for highest level if they paid lots of ££s so that statement is void.

Look at the polls Scorpian has put on Facebook, the majority of people voted for exp as the focus of this event and also a lower level bracket than 170+ was voted that needs the most love. So exp won the poll, but then not many people can benefit from it other than those high level/rich players.

As for people saying they can cycle the cave by selling the drops to shop then buying another 9m ticket to go straight back in, yes that is great for high levels who get items worth 1m+ to shops, but the items I get are worth 100-150k, cycling the caves with that isn't going to happen.

Pm me in game and I’ll help you out with it. As I stated before, I can do it on my noob nps.

If you want start up cash try naga lanes for lichen. The demand is through the roof and they sell on ah for 250-300k np right now. Even for 200k you can make that 9 mil in an hour or so

Who said I didn't want anyone else doing the same as I did? This isnt a huge event it's a mini one. I did that whist under 155 with a shit kit.

I'd hate for things to go back to before gp caves. Ever fight for flowers in paradise because it's the only efficient way to afford repairs?

I'm all for catching up. Getting 160 is so easy now it's insane.

Does this event have big flashing lights, loud music and screams stop what you're doing and focus on me? its obvious this is just a smaller version of the xmas event to entertain us for a week. Think peoples expectations are just far too high and people are just comparing the xmas event, obviously scorps not going to do another copy of it straight after one we've just had. Some see the word "event" and they get dollar signs in their eyes and think they should be hitting end game by the end of it. Worked it out roughly for the under 140 lvl bracket there's around 60 maps to go at and a rough guess probably only 3/4 of those have rats in? The "rich" players have money because they worked for it, let em spend it? "The rich get more powerful and lower level are left running about like chickens" how does the rich getting more powerful have any negative impact on the lower end? Let's use our loaf abit, the rich are more than likely spending their gold to get these event tickets meaning you won't bump into them in the hunting areas. Ye theres a few going out to the noob areas and taking the rats but out of the 60+ maps in the 140 bracket I like my odds. All I've been doing is lvling and hunting normally and I've had quite a few tickets/packets w.e on my way which are a nice added bonus. Best advice I can give is don't focus on what you don't have and compare against those who do, focus on what YOU DO have and work with the hand you've been dealt.

Not having a go at anyone just giving my 50p.

I think its a good little side event tbh, wd devs

100% this. spot on

I wear eradication weapon, treasurer stone, and get heroes league and subscription drop rate buffs, and use finding elixer. I can keep my eradication meter up at 11 or 12 most of the time looping the large cave. Pay 9m each time, and come out with enough items that I can sell to shop and make my 9m back, so it's not really costing me anything.

But that said, newer players should remember that I'm able to do that because I've put the work in before and earned the ability to do that. All the hard work they're having to do for scraps, I did that years ago, I put a huge amount of work in, and now they don't want me to benefit from that work?

If I wasn't able to break even on these rooms then instead of buying the tickets I'd be out searching for them, and I'd find them because I'm really good at that, because I've had practice at doing these kinds of events many many times, and then the lower levels would have even less to find.

GM is increasing the rates of rat spawns, so you'll all have a better chance to try the event out. But please don't try to take away from those who have just because you don't have, that's unfair.

With all due respect, your quite wealthy on the game and have gold chest after chest so for you it will be quite easy and u most probably will gain then lose as you have the initial gold to spend. However you have to look the the players who ain’t in the same position as you and will struggle to pay 9m let alone spend hours finding a red rat whom may not even drop the token , and then searching again ... it’s hard work their simply jus isn’t enough red rats and only the players who have mega gold or donating thru their ass will benefit.

I appreciate your point, but it's more about the kit and drop rate, rather than what gold I've got stashed away. If I had 50 mill or 500 mill or 5000 mill it wouldn't make any difference. I'm spending 9m at a time and making it back immediately.

Yep I agree with this, while new players are important to the server, we also have to remember that established players can get disheartened when they see someone brand new strolling up and getting to where they are in no time at all. It's a very difficult balance for GM to manage properly so that everyone is happy. Ultimately there will always be someone unhappy, and that is usually the person who doesn't want to put the hours in.

I'll give my opinion after this Newmoon phase is over.. atm until the phase is over i'm just spending GG or gold to get a ticket to the large cave..

 

[Skelleh]

Make the big rats so they can be TU'd!!.

I’ve spent 3-4 days hitting this event hard . I’m 165 and got a very nice kit as I’ve spent £££ . However I feel this event is aimed at the 178+ . I’ve spent time running about looking for red rats . Iv also spent 350 gg on the large tickets selling the items as I go like my guild told me . I feel as tho I have barely broke even . I’ve made some runes . I’ve got a few 6/7 star des/ess but when you weight it all up the only thing I can see os it’s only benefitting the top end players reach those last few lvls 180-181-182. I don’t really see the point . I don’t really see much incentive carrying on playing . I could level another 10-15 levels for very little gain . Cba . Cya

They earned their drop buffs at the cost of losing alot of exp per kill. You can either whine or move on. I haven't complained once yet I've spent 100m and 900gg(that I didn't get back) on event getting 2 levels and not a single kit upgrade.

U need to do them very fast and keep kill chain up to make it worthwhile going. I have used a lot of gg and I’m constantly using eradication weapon which means I get a shit lot of items drop. It becomes free to use during double drops event. Outside double drops it’s costing me 3-4m a go.
It drops nothing of use to me. I get the odd decent ess and des. Other than that it’s the easiest exp ingame do I keep going.
If I want top end materials il have to go zt.
Super cool event I just wish there was a way to make it easier for low lvls to get tickets without handing them on a plate to high lvls

Ticket prices should be tiered to level like the mobs/drops are. I spent 18m on 2 large rooms for my warrior and made stupid exp but got 1 single item that sold to shop for about 500k. For lower levels that's totally unsustainable. On my wiz I'm treating it the same way as you, made a tidy profit in the double drops lunar just selling everything to shops, and some wild exp to go with it. I feel that if tickets were locked to char it would be safe to make them much cheaper for lower levels, say half price for under 170, half again for under 160 etc.

Most events are massively stacked towards being beneficial to up-coming players and everything is done to make it harder for the players at/near the top, it's been quite refreshing to have something to actually play for a change. Must admit I was hoping there might have been a tier jump with higher level mobs/drops at 181. With full exp mythic set and exp pot I'm doing about 0.5% to 0.6% per large room, and none of the drops are useful to me, I'm literally just there for the exp now because it's still 5x faster than anywhere else.
