Item Levels

SE is having enough problems keeping subscribers, raising the monthly fee would cause a huge exodus and making it pay to participate or for special access to or for anything would render it pay-to-win and surely be the final nail in the coffin

I'm sure It was sarcasm. We already pay a monthly fee for exactly that.

If you know the threshold why not just make it so that only a certain amount if groups can be in at once, then allow no more people till a run is finished. Your talking about an event that takes an hour, if you can let 10 groups in a single zone at one time, there are 4 zones, 24 hours in a day, that's roughly 900 runs each day that can be done. To me, that sounds perfectly fine.

I dont care bout soloin salvage as much as I do Asaults or maybe Nyzul. Even if the requirement was 2 instead of 3 I would be happy. Then at least a dual boxer could get stuff done like Captain Rank Achieved

What he's saying, for those that can't read is "layer zones" is a fancy way of saying instanced. If they made Salvage so that you can enter solo, instead of going in with 3 or 4 ppl in 1 instance, you have 1 person in 1 instance, 4 times. So having 100 instances with 1 person in each instance, vs 25 instances with 4 people in each is a vast difference in server powah.

We understand what he meant. Its the solution that's off.

If you don't want hundreds of players converging on a zone and causing a crash you don't limit them to a 24 hr window. I'm not sure if it's a mistranslation, Matsui wasn't explaining himself clearly or if the poor guy is sleep deprived and just talking, but opening the zone to soloers only 1 day a week will assure server stress and a crash.

[Demon6324236]

I would be fine if they set a limit to, say, 5 parties being allowed inside, hell, a reservation system might even work out for it in that case, kinda like Private PvP battles. Anything to get rid of the 3+ member limit...

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Ugh, Dynamis flashback.

Ugh, Dynamis flashback.

It doesn't matter. They won't be able to implement it for another year or two anyways. You know staffing and server stress blah blah blah...

[Vold]

Yes it was sarcasm.


I'm just tired of the issues that free MMOs have with their servers. If only we paid to play this game, SE could afford to improve it. Because they let us play out of their kindness of their hearts, they don't have to spend money to make minimal improvements. If we paid a monthly fee then they would be obligated to make improvements to their servers.



Anyways, I'm sick to death of dealing with companies like AT&T, ripping me a new one on their pricing and never sticking to their end of the deal to provide the service I pay for. I really do not need that crap here, too. I said it before and I'll say it again, even though it will never happen, lower my monthly fee to play this game since it's support has been severely cut. It's worth maybe 8 dollars a month right now, if not less.

Ok. On here you never know. This was a suggestion made by a few ppl pre-SoA and they were dead serious about it...
