Suggestions & Ideas / Ironman mode

« on: November 09, 2017, 11:19:01 am »

I'm suggesting to remove the ability to trade member tickets/dxp scrolls/ga tickets to ironmen.

The GE or donating should be the only way for them to acquire the scrolls.

Because the items are tradable they can be given to ironmen. Ironmen receiving benefits from trading is the very thing you're not supposed to have when playing on an ironman. Since it's possible to transfer items from an ironman to a main account an ironman could actually sell their items using an alt and return the profit to an ironman in the form of tickets/scrolls.

There is already next to no competition on the highscores, in it's current state it puts newer or poorer players at a severe disadvantage when starting an ironman. Someone with funds on a non-ironman account has a huge advantage because they won't have to do anything for membership or double exp. It takes away a lot of 'value' from the seperate highscores. Any skill that doesn't involve using up resources is essentially already the same on an ironman as on a regular account since you get to trade for dxp. If ironmen at the very least have to get their own cash to pay for these things it'll actually be somewhat different for them.

GA tickets are a problem as well. Death should have consequences, especially on a gamemode about working for stuff yourself. It was one of the main things people said ironman mode shouldn't have access to before it was released.

If I start an ironman right now I could trade over 500 dxp scrolls and essentially have dxp running until I'm maxed. I could trade over a year's worth of member tickets. I could buy a bunch of GAs and essentially never fear dying. How is that fair? Frankly I'm suprised there are little to no complaints about this. It goes against the gamemode and essentially devalues a lot of the work people have done before the change.

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: pvp armours

« on: November 11, 2016, 07:51:40 am »

20 defense on a pure would mean you gain combat levels. This makes it so that you can avoid pures using these armors at edge pretty easily. I understand this isn't as significant of a combat level difference as there would be between a zerker and a pure, but these fights can still be easily avoided thanks to the low wilderness level. You could also just wait near the ditch if you don't want to fight certain people.

Zerkers are completely unaffected by the corrupt armors. A torso and rune legs have considerably more accuracy and defence bonus, it would be kind of redundant to use corrupt vesta or statius on a zerker.

Corrupt armour has a relatively low accuracy bonus, it is not as strong as you may think it is. High strength bonus might be nice, but it's far less reliable than accuracy bonuses.

Wilderness did not die because of updates. Wilderness died because there were no newer players getting into pking, which is a result of the pking community being rather toxic. If you're gonna get flamed at because you aren't good at pking, why would you bother pking in the first place?

That's not to say there's nothing wrong with them. We do need a better system as far as ancient energy goes.

Please do your research before blaming the updates.

Update Notes / Updates October 24th 2016 - Spooky, spooky Halloween!

« on: October 02, 2016, 08:08:41 am »

Hello guys,

Halloween Event - Kolodion
You may have been wondering... what has Kolodion been doing all this time? He's been hiding in the wilderness and is finally ready to come back! I'm introducing a new kind of bossing system and would like to know and see if you guys enjoy that or not. Kolodion will spawn at a random location in the wilderness every 30 minutes. You can ask the Wilderness guide in Edgeville about Kolodion's current spawn status and location. Kolodion is using a new drop system. Everybody participating in the fight against him will get a drop. The only restriction to that is, that you need to hit at least 10 on him. So this means, that you can kill him with as many friends as you like, everybody will get a drop. The drop tables are especially good, because the event takes place in the wilderness and the boss can only be killed once every 30 minutes! Also... you can fight for the loot from others!

Halloween Event - Grim Reaper
On top of that, the Grim Reaper has arrived again! He wants you to slay npcs in order to obtain Skulls. These Skulls can then be exchanged for rewards. The reward pool includes the raven pet from last year's event. You can also find the very rare drops from Kolodion in it: Mini Kolodion pet, Spider wings and a Pumpkin lantern. All these items will remain as super rare drops from Kolodion after the Halloween event ends.


Guardian Angels
Due to the feedback on the forums, I've decided to increase their price. I don't want to completely remove these items, because I do like the concept. The internet sometimes yields disconnects and lags. It'd be a shame if people lose items to such unforeseeable events. The price of a GA is now 1000EC. I know this is a big increase of its price, but in the long run it will make the item rarer and thus less used. New accounts still start with an active GA.

Following things have been updated:

• Further progress on the clue scroll system. This can't be seen, but I thought it's worth mentioning.
• New world boss mechanic added: bosses spawning at certain locations for a certain amount of time. Kolodion uses that mechanic. I could imagine re-using that system in the future to place evil trees or stuff like that in the world. Something similar to shooting star. Activities that take place on special times.
• A bug was fixed where experiences gained in the Herblore skill showed too many bonus xp.
• The game loader has slightly been reworked. The Emps-World.exe program can now be pinned to the windows taskbar. If you wish to do so, please download the new windows client here: https://emps-world.net/play. The loader's internal starting code was hardened and shouldn't be causing troubles on certain computers anymore.
• Membership information updated.
• Maploader timeout increased. Some people were claiming that areas didn't load properly. I'm not 100% sure what causes this, but I assume it happens in environments with low fps rates. It should be better with this update.

Been pretty busy lately, so there isn't much progress with clue scrolls. They will be the next big update though.

All the best,
Thomy

I will update the item icons later today, I need to go now!

I can't tell if you're serious about calling him poor or not, we all know how you made your bank abusing Rod of ivandis bug and won few billions from Tripl x to start with until you made that 15b bank.
Please before calling someone poor, make sure that you made your bank in a clean way or try to hide how you did it.

Feedback / Re: General graardor

« on: August 17, 2016, 06:28:58 pm »

So i know the bosses got buffed cause they were too easy, however, trying to solo the general is pointless now. if you actually manage to kill him once a trip your having some great hits (or your lucky with his hits)
Compareing General graardor with bosses like Corporeal beast he is an absurd beast ! I believe bosses is supposed to be hard, afterall their bosses, but this... no wonder bandos is so hard to find now a days at ge, ik there is plenty of sets out there, but their in stakers banks and not out with the rest of us.

Pleass make bossing at gwd appealing once aigan

The emps circle :

omg bossing is too easy it ruins economy -> makes it harder -> omg bossing is too hard there are no items -> makes it easier -> start over

I'm fine with how it is now. Let the economy recover to stable prices. They were too low to begin with. Bosses are not made to be solo-able. They are supposed to be a challenge for the whole team. Don't be selfish and take some fellow players along with you. You'll have an easier time + you'll be able to stay longer than 1 kill.

Idk what's so ''wrong'' with low prices. The relative prices still stay the same: it deosn't matter if bcp and arcane are 20m and 80m instead of 50m and 200m, arcane is still worth 4 bcp's. Lower prices make the high-level content easier to access for new players, making the gameplay more enjoyable in general. When I did GWD on my ironman, I NEVER saw anyone else than me in the whole damn dungeon. GWD is dead because of how hard the bosses are. Tormented demons, spectrals, corp and the new monsters in the ancient cavern are much popular and will always be more popular because at those you actually spend more time killing the monsters than banking or gathering kc.

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Hunger Games

« on: August 11, 2016, 08:01:33 pm »

I'm only agreeing with this idea, if this will be made available only for events.
If we release another full-time mini-game, we would only split our already small playerbase (those who play minigames). We don't have enough players to keep this minigame alive.
If this would be made available only for events, people would be more likely to join. Also this method doesn't take players from other minigames.

As far as prizes and rewards go, I agree with Otto: this game should act as a cash sink. The entry fee wouldn't be large (like 100-200k) and the winner will receive most of pot, also 2nd and 3rd place will get their payments back.
Any other prizes would temporarily keep the game active, but as soon as those items are bought, the game would die out. So I'd keep this only for events and only cash rewards (taken from entry fee pot). Definitely no item and xp rewards.

how about making this for pvm only?

We already have a problem with items leaving from the game, why make it even worse?
Also, we already have guardian angel, so I have to disagree.

why?   cus u cant handle so many kills?

No, because you staked everything and lost it all when you could have had hundreds of millions of gp in profit

A non staker sees that 200m profit from pvm as a huge gain and seeing it all go down the toilet disgusts him

« on: January 22, 2016, 05:37:42 pm »

Even if the idea went into development... I'd see no way where I should take the resources from to manage 2 different games? It's already stressful to get at least one update every 1-2 weeks for one game done. I couldn't imagine doing it for 2. Definite no from my side, sorry.

We're developing our own game here. With our own game engine and custom models. We're not downgrading the game.
