Server Reflections - 2 months in

Ok about the PvP rankings.

1. Where are they located? You might want to make them easy to access from the Barracks.

2. I would make a separate list for all the K/D ratios.

Back to the topic at hand. I'm impressed about the amount of people who are trying this server as their first shalya server. I'm sure most of you have seen me talk about this, but I think that says something about this server. I'm not sure if it's people who currently play getting those people here, or if they just like the write-up, but that's a major strength you have going here.

i'm not up to it since i'm not very good at other classes but maybe GMs you guys if you have good experience in other classes besides assassins you could make guides for the new guys that Rink said are playing this for their first time

That wasn't there 5 mins ago >.>

Was there since 8am pst time, when we put it up. It's new yeah. Hopefully it's easy enough to get to.

How can Int/Wis/Luc be a defensive cape?
as a priest i'd rather run around with my 10 Rec cape then with that.

I cant wait to see what you have in store for guilds. I'm excited and hear about the number of people we have had online so far.

Keep up the hard work GM's, server is getting better.

I can see your point. Rec would help in a minimal way unless built specifically for tanking. The current cape stats help with heals a bit, but also open the doorway for offensive casters. That's what imo isn't supported well enough in our heavy "melee" environment. We want to see casters have an increased footing by giving them a little bit of love and some offensive options.

I haven't seen a single B Orc/Priest

I've seen one lol. Also a few who get to 60 then restat. But yeah I would say Mega change the cape to something that more people would use. More people I know would rather use a mage over a Borc.

well i know a borc personally and her name is SuchaFkenLady but i think she would rather see a int / rec / luc over a int / wis / luc and if anything a caster doesn't want luc so change it to something like int / wis / rec

It is an easy adjustment, but more importantly all you have noticed over the past two weeks is a recommendation that a recently created cape should have rec instead of luc?

The must be more that that, right?

sorry mega can you elaborate that i don't get what you mean

Thank You,

From the original post. It was below the lvl 60 capes. Perhaps this will help elaborate.

Anyway back on topic, something that is bad here is the over all constant PvP. If you want to work on something, I suggest trying to encourage more PvP here. I know you can't make everyone PvP, but there are people on both sides who want to PvP so I encourage the GM's to get it started. Other than that there's really nothing bad going on with this server any more.

ah so you mean that you'll gladly change the cape ?

I did mentioned the addition of [GM]Thor and his weekly events. Three are normally scheduled, but I think he likes to run a few on the side just for some additional fun.

I'm sure you guys are working on this, but I guess one bad thing about this server is the GRB points are working. For the few players who are die hard guild house users, I would suggest fixing this.

agreed. That's is high on our priority list. We are pursuing multiple avenues to resolve this. Having said that, I wish other admins in various pservers were a bit more friendly

If I remember right, a pserver I played had a similar issue. I think they wiped the guild list clean and that somehow freed it up. However anyone with crap in a GWH atm would not like this option.

i don't mind no points but the 100% etin drop is epic
