I was asking at which set I could solo frisko. I also asked for help. no one answered eighter the question or offert me a run for payment (i had a bunch of money horted arround my chars + items i was willing to pay)
nah man I dont want to argue with you aswell. I am neighter talking your server down nor trying to keep people away from it. I had fun. I just couldnt get along with most of the people who are all in the same guild, theres no pvp'ing going on. All that you do is try to hort keys or get each boss run every hour. I play tibianic for 6 years. I dont just throw away a server that seems promising.
I just do not feel sattisfied. WHen i played the 8.1 dzot there was a constant pressure on myself. there was no oh lets take this boss ezpz. we fought for every boss that spawned, for each item. People just have a house full of the crystal keys and have 20 chars in swapping their position to click them properly.
I remember eighter you or Shawn posted something at the " Unline.org"(I am not promoing this server, nor advertising it, just stating a fact) Thread considering the server to be unplayable because it Is pay to win.
Now your server is not pay 2 win. It is litterly " Pay and you will achieve your goals so much quicker then everyone who doesnt pay "
You dont get forced to, yet you havent added a quest to get even a wodden key at. You are completly turning things even from your old deathzot.
You could buy the items from mystery boxes, or loot them.
You could do the uh/MR quest, you could also buy them.
wile here you have no way to get some of the shop items, which is the biggest problem I see in how the server is working out.
Beside this, you took a break from the server(completly ok. I cant even imagine putting so much effort on a server as you did. a break is completly fine to not burnout completly after months of work)
Yet the update seems to be such a small peek forward as theres a bunch of 50k people with Txx sets running arround that propaly peaked your update already.
I am nowhere near that level, But nor will i spend 10 hours a day manually playing to keep up with people who play 6 hours, bot the other 18 hours of the day and just make an enmourmous amount of profit compared to the one who actually plays it with his hands purely. (Pretty absurd that you add a anti bot system and then a backpack that loots bosses for you.)
Anyays. I dont want to spaam your thread with negativity.
You are delivering a custom open tibia server which are very rare these days and you earn my respect for this.
I wish you the best luck with the server and hope that at some point you will maybe make it a bit fairer gameplay/Just throw online the old dzot 8.1 for a week for some fun pvp'ing or your old deathzot2 for some old Bard mashing arround haha.
Have a nice day !
I agree with some points you made but you're wrong in most of the stuff you just wrote there. Past updates brought more benefits to manual players and they brought even more benefits for people who, like you said, are behind gear wise compared to the top people.
Let me start by saying that I played the first month and half or so when server opened, i was in the 2nd fisco team and I also got abit sad about the fact that people were so far ahead of me gear wise. But what if I told you that it doesn't rlly matter what other people do? This server is about YOUR character progression. It's about developing a good character with the several combos in the server and while you can compare yourself to others, in the end it doesn't rlly matter. People having t12 (wich is not that common) doesn't change a thing about your own game. Pvp deaths aren't punishing enough to make you quit, you dont lose items when you die, you dont have to be the top 5% to enjoy the server.
Now back to the point you were trying to prove with the "pay to win".
People sell RT's for cash. People sell RT's for gear. You can EASILY make 400k~ a week and buy RT's from other plays for 70-80k a piece. There's also 5+ events every single day that award 2 RT's to the first and second place. Myself, I've won 12 RT's from event's alone the past week and I dont sit around playing the whole day.
Lottery awards wooden keys, if you get lucky. You can get lottery tickets from lockboxs (dropped by loot orbs and awarded when you do a dungeon).
There's also a 10k quest that awards you with 10 RT's.
Uber monsters, when killed, have a loot explosion around yourself and if you're at a zone that monsters drop t2, it's not uncommon to get 10+ t2 items along with t1s.
Treasure chests can contain gear based on the zone you're at, crystal coins AND RT's (even though it's rare).
Baron boss (sea demon) give golden nuggets depending on your contribution wich in return you can trade them with an npc for bonus exp/loot AND more importantly, catalyst item wich makes gear scale based on your lvl.
I decided to come back for the update and while I haven't accessed half the areas the server has to offer, I am having fun and progressing gear wise. Play the server to have fun and take it as it is. Focus on your own gameplay, make some friends and help eachother out and stop worrying so much about the people who have months and months invested into their gear and characters and in no time, you'll be closer to them than you think.
Edit: Oh and the lack of help? I've gotten alot of help from high lvl people (Archlord is always helping with doing fisco for the 9k people, Sir tanksalot helps with alot of questions if you PM him and he's not afk, game-chat is always filled with people (including myself) who help out newcomers with general info and so on).
