Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Prestige

Okay I understand that now better after you explained it.

But this thing I still do not understand:

This is totally optional, you're not forced to train in prestige mode.

Okay so it's optional but at the same time you're representing it should reward you with exclusive armor, weapons, areas and bosses. If it was optional it should offer you zero benefits.
Only thing it should give as a 'reward' is the in-game icon(s) and separate hiscores. That way you're not forced to use prestige mode if you don't want to. Giving it beneficial rewards that give you advantage over others makes it forced, not optional. Look at ironman mode, that's completely optional part of the game and it doesn't offer you anything except an icon and separate hiscores.

Its still going to take a very long time to achieve, I do think rewarding players with exclusive items/areas/bosses makes sense to me. its not really that simple to max your account 2-3 times. The reward can be discussed after we implement this system, haven't put much thought into it.

« on: September 14, 2018, 07:45:32 pm »

What I mean by your points fighting against pros you mentioned is that they're essentially crossing each other out.

For example look at this:
Prestige mode would be a toggable option, this way if someone wants to go bossing he can turn off prestige mode and have all his skills go back to normal. Once prestige mode is toggled back on, the player resumes training where he left off.
Okay, player turns off prestige mode because he wants to go bossing. Now look at the pros you mentioned:
We can add exclusive bosses/areas for players that obtain this rank.
So a player would have to turn off prestige mode to go to a boss that's meant for prestige people only...? = He can't access it. wat

Limited areas and bosses were removed from membership benefits because limiting content behind a paywall is honestly just so demotivating. Having to max and then reset just to access an area/boss is even a bigger kick to the balls.

If any form of prestige mode was added it should be 100% optional meaning you will reset absolutely everything excluding bank with no chance of going back and only reward you would have is separate hiscores and in-game icon.
Limiting content or adding more "mandatory" content behind something like this is just so stupid and/or waste of dev time in my opinion.

You don't seem to understand what i'm saying... yes, i'm suggesting new bosses for prestige players. If by any chance a player decides to enable prestige mode and resets his skills he won't be able to fight bosses with all his skills reset to 1. The solution to this is make it toggle off so they can go bossing but not the ones for prestige players because they won't have access to that unless they achieve the prestige rank. Now, in order to enter the exclusive areas/bosses a player must toggle on prestige mode and have the prestige rank in order to have access to it for prestige areas only. So, the answer to your question is no, turning off prestige mode does not give you access to prestige exclusive areas/bosses.

Removing the area/skill restriction from membership makes sense, this isn't rs where most of the things are not accessible unless you pay for it. This is like a reward for players that put the time and effort into the game to reach such rank, we can think about something else to reward them, that's not important at this very moment. My main suggestion is to implement a prestige system, but giving players a simple rank/cape isn't going to be really that motivating imo.

There's a few things that argue against each other here. Let me point them out:
Prestige mode can have its own high scores, would only be fair for the players that already have most of their skills trained to 250m experience.
Vs.
We can add exclusive bosses/areas for players that obtain this rank.
Exclusive armor/weapons that can only be worn by players that obtained a certain prestige level.
You're essentially taking away content/limiting content from a huge majority. They would never see those areas or wear them armor etc...

Isn't that like the whole point, players that train and put more effort into the game will achieve more than others that don't put the same amount of effort. I'm not sure why you say 'never see those areas/wear armor, etc...' people that really want to get access to these areas should train. It's like saying players will never obtain a 200m skill max cape because they're too lazy to train, it's the same thing.

Prestige mode would be a toggable option, this way if someone wants to go bossing he can turn off prestige mode and have all his skills go back to normal. Once prestige mode is toggled back on, the player resumes training where he left off.
Vs.
We can add exclusive bosses/areas for players that obtain this rank.
Turns off the whole prestige thing to go bossing but there are bosses and possibly an area with boss that's unique to this rank...? These points and their set pros fight against each other a lot.

Not sure how these fight against each other... in order to enter prestige areas you must toggle on prestige mode. When i say to go bossing i'm talking about other bosses, not the ones found in prestige areas. Players that have the rank must toggle on prestige mode to enter prestige exclusive areas.

Not much players care about achieving 250m experience, but with this system, players will be hyped to train so they can enter these exclusive areas/bosses and obtain exclusive items for their rank.

Are players happy to train for the sake of grinding? Or for the sake of achieving something...? When a player maxes out I highly doubt their first option will be 'Oh I go reset my stats!'
I'm like at the most negative end of spectrum when it comes to prestige systems, I dislike it so much, doesn't matter how it's worked out.

I don't think anyone trains for the grind, they train to achieve something only few players can achieve. With this prestige system only the really dedicated players would be able to achieve such ranks, this isn't meant for everyone to achieve (lazy/unmotivated players) and there is a big reward for achieving such a rank otherwise there's really no point of going prestige if all you get is a cape and a pat on the back.

I actually like this idea,
eventho I am not kind of a person who would really spend a lot of time training again as such thing might take me another year or 2
however I find it great to add some places that actually worth the time people will be spending getting this.
I am against having the ability to turn it off, once you reset your skills you're starting all over again with your bank Imo this will make it worth doing.

The ability to turn it off is for the players that want to go bossing after having their skills reset. That way they can train their skills and also have fun when they get tired/bored of training in prestige mode or want to join their friends. I think this way would be better to attract more players to train prestige, not much people really like the fact of resetting their skills, but with a toggle off option they won't have to think twice about it.

well i would play prestige. if that xp gainz will add up to normal mode xp later.
but i have 3 skills 250m, that would be huge time waste to get 3 times 99 on skills i dont want to.

otherwise 3 times to get all skills 99 just for a rank and cauple exclusive bossing areas ? nah dude, get out of here.
for example that prestige would took me 13 months. instead of that i cud get, from 2b xp to 2,6b xp playng normaly.

This is totally optional, you're not forced to train in prestige mode. The experience gained in prestige mode will not add up to your total experience, like i said this should have it's own high scores for obvious reasons.

Suggestions & Ideas / Prestige

« on: September 14, 2018, 06:11:11 am »

Prestige System
-   Implement 4 prestige levels (prestige, master prestige, Ironman prestige, and ironman master prestige)
-   Once a player achieves 99 in all skills, they can speak to an npc to reset them all to 1 and grant them prestige for the first time and master prestige for the second time around.
-   Prestige mode would be a toggable option, this way if someone wants to go bossing he can turn off prestige mode and have all his skills go back to normal. Once prestige mode is toggled back on, the player resumes training where he left off.
-   Prestige mode can have its own high scores, would only be fair for the players that already have most of their skills trained to 250m experience.
-   Add icons for Prestige and Master Prestige for both normal and ironman accounts.

Pros
-   We can add exclusive bosses/areas for players that obtain this rank.
-   Motivates players to keep training and play the game once they max their account.
-   Not much players care about achieving 250m experience, but with this system, players will be hyped to train so they can enter these exclusive areas/bosses and obtain exclusive items for their rank.
-   Exclusive armor/weapons that can only be worn by players that obtained a certain prestige level.
-   Ironman and normal accounts will be able to use this system.

« on: July 29, 2018, 01:48:39 pm »

In my serious opinion this will defeat the purpose of implementing group bosses, I really liked this because it encouraged people to come together for a common purpose. (Get rare drops together and be all hyped about it)

Suggestions & Ideas / PVP Game Mode

« on: June 24, 2018, 02:33:00 am »

Hello everyone, I would like to share something that's been on my mind for some time now and I would like your feedback on it. I was thinking of introducing a new game mode called 'PVP Mode' in this mode players will have the following...

• Very quick experience gain
• Increased drop rate
• Not able to trade or stake items
• Dropped items will not appear to other players and will vanish in 5 minutes
• Upon death the equipped items will disappear after 5 minutes and they will not appear to other players. (The items will be lost in the wilderness and player won't be able to retrieve them, the other player will receive coins or blood money (once implemented) instead)
• These accounts will not be listed in the high scores.

The goal for this game mode is to target those players that just want to jump in and pvp without the grind, pretty much just to have fun.... as we all know, pvp needs some work and i think this game mode would really make it come back alive.... maybe.

I also think having the ability to customize the F keys and equipment presets would make PVP convenient for those that join for the PVP aspect of the game.

If you guys disagree with the idea, please share your own! I would love to know what the community thinks regarding pvp, what can Thomy implement to make pvp interesting

Introductions & Farewells / Re: Why I no longer play

« on: June 11, 2018, 07:54:36 pm »

Kinda funny that Thomy refused to use spawned cash to clean up a mess, which was caused by him in the first place (raised drop rates and then vanished for couple months because of his irl problems) but agreed to use the same method to pay for a trailer.

The cash prize for the trailer contest was not spawned, not going to explain why spawning cash to fix a problem is a terrible idea.

You know what I knew ages ago. This game is dead meat. There will be no major changes because as long as there are white knights (the staff team basically) who agree with whatever Thomy is saying and praising him for whatever he is doing, he has no reason to turn back. If one of them does not like Thomy's ideals, he gets ignored and taken care of sooner or later. I do not know how much he spent on advertising recently (or maybe I do), but it was a stupid move to spend any money into promoting a dead server in the first place.

Staff members don't praise everything Thomy implements, there were multiple occasions where staff members shared their feedback on certain updates.

Nothing is done about it because as long as Thomy has his supporting staff team (which is a reflection of himself), there is no need for other opinions. It is natural that players get demotivated when their efforts improving the server get ignored all the time. Even all the community topics regarding emps updates were rigged in the first place. Thomy presented some of his ideas beforehand and players discussed which of them would get added first. Yes, there were some ideas that got added that were not suggested by Thomy, but I doubt that more cosmetics, pets or untradable items would solve any of the thousand problems this server has. They make it only worse. The only good update this game had was ironman mode, which is also the only reason why this game has more than 50 players sometimes.

You seem to have this mindset that only the opinions of the staff team matter to Thomy which isn't true at all. I can promise you that Thomy does listen to the community and he's always open for new suggestions as long as it's reasonable and not something like a server wipe or spawn cash to fix an issue.

Rules are only being enforced on those who criticize the server. Wait no, you straight up get punished for critcizing the server because they feel offended even without any rules being broken. This is also the reason why I have to use this account to post this reply xD. Common rule breakers who say whatever they want do not get punished as long as they do not target staff members. But banning them would also result in the game/shoutbox being even less active. So enduring them is the way to go.

We do not issue punishments unless a rule is broken. Members are entitled to their opinion, we don't issue punishments just because you say you don't like the server as long as you're sharing your opinion in a professional manner and not shouting f*** this and f*** that and being all rude about it. Also, there are no exceptions, if you break a rule you will be held accountable for it.

For any of the staff members reading this, just tell Thomy to delete all of accounts please. It will be better for me (so I dont have to deal with this stupid community and owner anymore) and for you (so you can keep spreading your lies to innocent players about how great this server is without any idiot interfering).

You're not being forced to play our server.
