This is my main objection: There is a good deal of players who have already benefeted from raiding chests, and spamming their skills, and that leaves the rest of us really lopsised, where new players and new characters will always be way behind with no real way to catch up.

It would make some sense that if there are going to be so many drastic changes, there should be a pwipe and then let everyone sort out how they are going to play.

This is exactly what happened last osting, the same group abused something, then it got nerfed and the rest of us were left lopsided. Its amizing how much damage can be done to a game like FFO, that used to actually be a good, fun game.

Anyway, for those who missed it. Last hosting, Dean, Deylin and their group had almost all BWs with CL, they were killing Ember Wyrms at a rate I could only describe as abuse. Then CL gets nerfed and FFO was left lopsided, and with guards and army easily killed in under 5 minutes, it wasn't hard for Dean and Deylin to destroy all the towns.

This hosting seemed like it would be better, then insane changes started being made. These changes haven't ade the game funner, or better in any way. The new changes have already more than cut the number of active players in half, and it probably wont be long until half of those quit. I can barely even stand to log into this game anymore.

i don't like the new changes either. everything worked great with experience gain and the over-excitement of that rare natural prof. yea, dey and them as well us our side have abused everything imaginable in this game. however, that isnt gonna stop. so what if deys group makes ****tone of bw with CL and run drags. we did too. who cares. doesnt make sense to then nerf CL, and make all these silly changes.
i want to go back a bit. bring back experience. put beef up back to the way it was, and buff magic back to where it was. there was nothing wrong with how it was. people were just being weak ass pussies complaining all the time cus they failed to make a character who could handle itself. everyone is given the same chance to be an OP asshole. just cus they dont and start complaining about it, doesnt mean EVERYONE has to get ****ed over and confused with new useless crap

IMO of course

another thing,
beef up is one of the few skills that a knight has. we dont have magic, or cure, or anything really special. yea we can tank, yea we can hit as hard as a well made RW.
but beef up was the core of the knight class. you wounded it by reducing it 50%, now its completely dead. you turned it into a spell, and it lasts maybe 3 or 4 minutes. not long enough to deal with pvp, or in a swarm. it can kill a knight to have to re-beef up when surrounded by ****.

Good bye sasha. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Everyone else. You all ***** way to god damn much.

You're totally avoiding the fact when Gaku spawned Pugs for everyone, giving the other side equipment that shouldn't be in the game, and millions upon millions of experience. That was all just handed to them, we actually put ourselves in danger and worked for the gear that we had. Maybe you also haven't considered the fact that you all die so easily because you have no skill. Stop QQing and get better at the game. New characters are made every day, they can catch up with hardwork and actually playing instead of people like you crying and whining "I came to the game late! I don't like my class! I'm behind everyone else!" Play the game. Deal with the changes. Stop your crying.

i think the bottom line on the majority of the new changes is:

ffo/terulia shouldn't be needlessly complex. and punishment for death should never be mega harsh (losing profs that take forever to gain. losing experience is better because you see it on your bar and it's a visual tip on how much you have to gain back).

Nice job QQing so much that the game is down for the entire weekend.

This thread is now about how *** you crybabbies are.

read the ****ing updates qq-broski.

you don't lose profs upon death anymore unless it's a cube death, in which case you deserve your loss(es).

this new system is more simple than the system before, you dip****.

losing experience is better than what, NOT LOSING ANYTHING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GOLD AND ITEMS?! durrrrhurrr

i swear, after reading some of the **** you guys post, bashing my **** with a rusty hammer sounds painless.

reply to Jimmy Dean:

ok my mistake.

but who here actually likes having invisible progress imaginary prof progress?

when new people join the game, or you're explaining the game to a friend/new potential player, are they gonna wanna stick around when they can't even really tell how well they're doing?

i'm commenting on the overall direction the game is taking. anything right now can be reverted/updated. as a whole ffo has been incredibly complex for a byond game. but it's getting a bit ridiculous.

if gaku wants an obscure ultra deep but hard to stomach game then he can go ahead and do it. but if you want to see a bigger playerbase then it shouldn't be so damn uninviting by DESIGN

and if that's the way the game goes then i have no problem. i just won't play it. i'll play a sweet ass new game like guild wars 2.

ffo has been a been a huge roller coaster of game changes throughout the years. and definitely the biggest learning experience for gaku. he's dealt with server stuff, pve/pvp balancing stuff, all aspects of an mmorpg

but i'm pretty sure the focus of the game has always been feudalism/domain style gameplay. and what drives that? players. isn't that the big focus of terulia too? and with a 3 kingdom faction system? it's sure as hell gonna need players to work.

i just vote for the game to become more approachable, not less

Also, to lord quacku:

Why not put the prof trainers back in, but only have them display your current skill/spell/equipment profs, as well as giving you the verbal cues (I see you're getting the hang of this/very impressive/etc) of how far along you are on a prof.

I just wanted to point out that you're correct - partially - but you're missing the bigger picture.
If you've ever played Terulia, then you know one of the first things to happen in the game is what? You get a "mercenary".
There's a reason for this... You now are no longer under the burden of having to level your character to finish quests and become stronger; you just have to play smart.
Leveling in Terulia is about as meaningful as a Boy Scout merit badge. It increases your stats slightly, is used for ranking, but doesn't mean jack when you're just one cog in the machine (you + mercs).
FFO does not work this way. In FFO, levels make a huge difference and are seen by many as the ultimate goal of the game - to be the most powerful, etc.

Maybe a pwipe is the best course of action not because some people got ahead of you before the nerfs but because you're all playing FFO wrong.
You have missed the point of playing a social multiplayer game.
