Arrapago Remnants

[Funf]

Lost connection while in Arrapago Remnants and now i cannot log back in. Game gets stuck @ the black screen where it says Downloading Data...

This just happened to me as well. The game froze on floor 5 of AR2 and crashed, so I tried to log back on and got a black screen that said o o o Downloading o o o

It booted me back to pol so I tried again, and it did the same thing for about 30 seconds, before dumping me out of salvage.

Greetings,

We’ve addressed this during the version update on May 16. Apologies for the inconvenience!

While it’s possible to procure the same number of Alexandrite from each Salvage area, we’ve been noticing a trend that the easier to clear ones, notably Arrapago Remnants II, are being focused on to farm Alexandrite and thus this area has become somewhat congested.

As noted in the version update details, we implemented a countermeasure that established a time interval between when players are able to enter Salvage. Due to this, the number of instances that are created at once has been reduced and we’d like to keep an eye on server stability with these conditions for a while.

We’re currently looking into making changes in the event that server issues continue so that when you enter a Salvage area, you will not be able to enter that area again until a certain amount of time passes.

For example, once you enter Arrapago Remnants, you will no longer be able to enter it again for a certain amount of time, but you will be able to enter other Salvage areas.

Once I’m able to share more details I will be sure to let you know.

Why not adjust the other remnants so that its more attractive to farm alexandrite? It would solve congestion easily rather than imposing restrictions.

Because that requires effort, putting restrictions is something they can do in 5 minutes of coding.

actually wouldnt, one of them would end up being the easiest and you are back at the beginning of the problem.

Because it's almost impossible to 100% perfectly equally balance the farming conditions in each area without making them 100% identical, so players will figure out which one is fastest even if it's only by a small amount and farm that one.

DEV Team the idea is terrible, the reason why AR2 is the most wanted area for alex farming is, that area has more Nms than other areas, more chancess at getting cottons and alexandrites, if DEV team wanted to fix this problem, should start to increase drop rates on alex from another mobs, cotton from NM and linen from Lesser Boss making this more attractive for other players to do diferent areas.
The idea about restric entry is just terrible, bad and no make sense, lets review areas, ZR, you cant solo chariot NM becaus discoid will kill you 4400 pure dmg, you can reduce dmg with shell 5 and mdt but dont think someone is going to survive to this move, there is not enough ramparts or gears to farm alexandrites here, 9 gears can drop cottons but drop rate is just terrible.
BR, first floor regular mobs got a lot of HP, w/o equip and just weapon to fight, even if ppl can do first floor, they wil have problems doing mega boss, cerberus where you need balace magic and physical dmg, plus gate of hades can really hurt you.
SSR bad drop rate on cottons, nms got a lot of hp and not really worth killing, no enough gears to farm alex or ramparts.

Personally i dont think DEV team is going to listen us, they never do, thier solution to fix a problem isnt going to fix it, just will bring another problem eventually, alex drop isnt too good as we thought and this idea will reduce our supply, please Dev Team, think better what you want to do to fix this problem, im sure the most players 'd rather have this problem with AR than have this silly implementation.
Fix another areas first before.

The other zones need a lot of work before you consider something like this. As mentioned above, there's good reasons why the others zones are avoided. Those zones need rethought before you implement such a crude solution.

Zhayolm II is very unfriendly to pet jobs and range classes, you can't unlock some vital slots until the 5th floor and it renders those jobs practically useless.

I'd like to go back and farm some Salvage 1 items, but I refuse to touch those zones until the horrible cell system is finally nuked from orbit. They may not be the best way to farm alex, but imagine how much congestion could be relieved if those 4 zones were viable again.

Doesn't matter, unless the balance is 100% perfect, people will find the one that edges out the others and spam that one. Their solution is actually better than spending large amounts of time redesigning / rebalancing the other salvage runs.
