things we are aware of

Post by Red Squirrel »

Theres just a few things latelty that have been brought up amoung staff and players might have noticed too, so I just want to say that we are aware of these things, and are trying to see what the best approach is to rectify the problems.


1: Some pets/summons are just way too powerful. Alot of pets are also not documented, so they may be in game but nobody, not even staff, knows. There could be a spawner who knows where with some pet that can 1 hit kill a balron, lot of stuff is around and undocumented. As a player, if you see a weird pet and you're not sure, do post about it, as it may be something that's not even supose to be in game.

2: Multi accounts, bots, AFKing, etc. Currently the rule is 3 accounts, but there is no restriction, as no system has been coded yet. We are aware of the problem this is causing, and this is being abused by a few people. Requireing people to register under an email will hopefully fix this issue. I've also been pondering on just dissallowing afk killing altogether. Been trying to code ways to make it harder, but might just make it illegal.

3: Demitel bosses: Some of their locations make them too easy to mass farm. So eventually they may be made peerless and be inside a room. Kind of like blood beast, but that one too would probably be moved so they're consistant.

4: Mass farm methods. Things like the vorpal chicken spawn are making it too easy to mass farm good loot, so eventually some of these may be changed up to at least require some amount of work.

Theres other such issues. I just want to bring up the fact that we're not blind from them, we just lack the time, at least I do, I only get a few hours per night, sometimes less if someone bothers me to fix their computer. So things things may take long to fix, but I do want them fixed asap.

Will we know ahead of time, or at least at all if and which pets get changed in case it is a pet that is a little mroe main stream that gets used for a certain reason?

Yeah I will have to think of a way to compensate. Like if I do remove AWs or other pets, I will give the owners a choice of any other pet and I will bond it. I will handle this as a case per case scenario.
