This newly updated server hasn't impressed anyone as far as I can see. Those who have tried it dislike the fact that levels are so high and things are unbalanced. Well, I'm only one person, and I have no access to the server files. You can't possibly expect me to do everything alone, right? So come on players, give me a hand for the sake of our server!
Now then -- From my own personal opinion, the Stat Points Merchant can be taken out entirely. It's doing more harm than good. Sure, leveling out all stats for all classes seems like it would balance everything, but all it really does is make it so statuses don't work (or will only work on those that don't grind out 500m to max out luk, int, vit, and agi) and so people don't need to change stat builds.. ever. It's less about builds and more about skill. To some that may seem better, but I don't see anyone liking it so far.
Most peoples' problems are coming from the imbalance though, and that is definitely going to be worked on soon. Being as this server is kind of modeled after another (can't remember what it's even called) and that server was successful, it still had a lot of balancing done and most everyone packed on MVP cards like they were going out of style. We don't have that luxury, let alone constantly being haunted by the massive amounts of damage 3rd classes can pull off looking like a spammed Champ's Asura.. only faster and deadlier.. *thinking back on his Mech's OP 31-35k Boost Knuckle spammed like a highrate pro Sniper's Double Strafe...*
Anyways. I'm up for some changes. Who can help me? I'm tired of being alone, really. Consider this a challenging new frontier to explore! (And I may reward testers depending on how well they can help~)
Thank you kindly,
GM Milk
PS: Back on the topic of the Stat Points Merchant - If it were to be taken out, it would make for much more diversified builds, much like on normal servers. You would be able to get 300 of one stat and 201 of another if you only concentrated on 2 stats. In my opinion, that is definitely a good thing. You can do a lot of damage as is with that amount of stat points. Being at level 255 helps a lot too. xP
