[Switzerland] [8.7] Ascalon | custom MID-EXP RPG with unique gameplay

[/Liro]

@esthet , Not really... Theres only mounts/outfits - They give bonus (Hp regen/mglvl's/skills/etc).. The more outfits(Full) and mounts you get the more bonuses you'll have.

 

[Fare]

Fare is any pet system in the server?

Not yet, I would say. I got a pre-done pet system which may be released during first patches.

A technical question - what is different from the last launch that should make me play?

Me =D Already preparing for a launch. Server is coming online this friday.

A technical question - what is different from the last launch that should make me play?

• Changes

From what I know the only new things are some kind of anti-bot system and new grade 8 equipment but that also means he added new content where you get grade 8. I'm sure that Fare will give more information about what's new and what has been changed in the coming days. But even if he didn't add any new content a new reset brings so much to the server - everyone starting from zero actually means a lot, new players will more likely try it out because everyone will start as they do. Fare probably knows this and that's why he decided to reset it.

• Competing

In my opinion the gameplay in tibia isn't fun. It's never been fun. But what do I like about tibia? I like playing with a fresh community and compete against other players to make quests first, to be on the top of the high scores and be in the first wars. And all of that becomes so much more fun in the first weeks of a new server or a reset because then everyone is excited and motivated to play but the longer the server stays online, people tend to get less motivated and they put less of their time into the server and that usually demotivates people from playing so the community ends up becoming boring and dead. You know what would be awesome? A server that resets every few months and with the top players getting rewards for their achievements.

• Average slacker

Even if you don't like to compete or don't have the time or effort to do so the community is so much more alive after a reset and the player-base is usually much larger, people also tend to help and interact more with each other after a reset which gives the average slacker a more fun and enjoyable experience.

With all this said, I can't wait to play Ascalon again.

If it's just that, then the server will be like last time - player count gradually becoming lower until it's not worth the effort anymore, again.

No offense, but that's just how it is nowadays with servers, even if they're better than the majority of them.

small question - everyone will be starting from lvl 1 right? so its not like a season 2 version 2?

 

[Ingens]

Last time I playede (first version) Archers was -alot- more OP than mages. Deny it or not but it was the truth and everyone back then knew it. I do wonder if this is still the case? Because other than that the server was really funny. I might play!

There has been a lot of balancing and last season it was far more balanced then the first season
if you decide to play give me a call ingame

@dasbrot= Yes

Did assassins get some kind of nerf or are they stilll ridiculously strong?

 

[xAvatarx]

Assassins are ok, if you play like a retard, each vocation will be OP for you...

You must be either really stupid or blind if you think assassins were balanced previous edition.
But i guess you were one of those op assassins and that's why you don't want them to get nerfed

Imo assasins were good maybe bit stronger as everyone else (they did a lot of pvp damage) but not really op. I remember trying to kill a crusader with like 3 assasins and not even getting it close to death. if you know how to play every voc was pretty good, assasin was just easier to learn, thus making it a beloved vocation. the only vocations that was not up to the task last time was berserker and he made some changes to that so thats fine.

berserkers where squishy, i'll give you that but assassins were op, its not necessarily the damage which was too high ( even tho it was a little too high) but the combination of being able to do alot of dmg (best DPS ingame) and still able to tank pretty decent. small example > 3 mages would have a hard time killing an assassin if hes not a total noob, while 2 assassins would kill a mage in no time (If both the mages and assassins have the same equip), and if you say thats balanced then you really must be stupid.

i'm sure 3 mage could easely kill an assasin if the mages knew what they're doing , but you have a point at the survivability of an assasin maybe it could/should be lowered a bit like lowering the amount of his heal or hp gained each lvl. Overall i think the classes are pretty balanced ,besides some small issues.

if you really have a problem i suggest you to just use the ascalon forum board, but dont make it a cry thread like: OMG assasins are way to op because i cant kill em in 1 min. IF you just make a mature thread about it i'm sure people would take the time to read it and maybe fare will take it in consideration.

How much damage does a berserker do compared to an assassin, and which one has more survivability?

I want to play a berserker but I'm not so sure anymore.

 

[hehemidu]

last season berserker was really squishy and the damage wasnt that much better as the crusader. but Fare made some changes so that the berserker has more survivablity. damagewise i would say assasin is much better, but it is a bit squishier. but i'm sure berserker will be much better this season

I don't know how much changed, or what changed but last season an assassin had more dmg, ranged dmg and more survivability than a berserker. if you wanna know how good or bad they are this edition i guess you'll have to find out by playing it or waiting for a response from fare

Alright then. I rather not play a vocation that recently been altered with, as it takes some time to actually get it right. So there goes the berserker. I don't really like mages due to all the (10%~ to -etc etc-) features, when I pvp I want to be sure something works so I can calculate, combo, and play tactically with my team mates to combo a stun with high damage output, etc etc, so there goes the mage (comments regarding these chance attacks are welcome if you don't agree with my deicision there)
, I don't wanna play a priest because I want to be strong in pvp (maybe they are though), solo and 2v5. So no to that, I don't want to play an archer because my friend plan on doing that, so that leaves me the crusader.

Any comments on the crusader? If you were an assassin and a crusader, would it be possible to:
kill other players same lvl? Assassin for example. Or a mage, or priest, or berserker. I suppose we can't 2v1 another crusader as they're more tanky.

I don't want to lvl up to realize I want another vocation so all information is appreciated!

Mages are decent, they got a steady damage output, so they're perfect if you wanna combo someone. the only "chance attacks" are your critical hits wich don't trigger often so you shouldn't rely on them.
edit: about the crusader yes you could probably kill people 1 crusader 1 assassin, but it will be harder since crusaders dmg isn't high.

 

[Ingens]

My problem with mages is like, If you are fighting together with an assassin trying to take down another player you'd want to:

assassin activates his extra dmg output spell duration and decrease armor of target and immidietally the mage then stuns or freezes the target. But wait, that only has 40% success, so you can't plan such combos which makes it less skill based a more about luck. than I really want. I'm not complaining at the class I simply try to find a class that suites me. I really want to know if a crusader and assassin could kill another assasssin, mage or berserker without them healing more than we are dps'ing.
