We'll have a poll or post decisions when we COME to a conclusion. What i said was not an opinion, it is the flat out truth.Dylan is hosting a private server, and testing things one by one. It takes time. |

Please don't speak as if there is HARM in me posting this. Because there isn't. Also, since I have my answer, "No one knows yet", having someone close the topic is fine. It isn't as if I was in dire need of an answer like my life depended on it. I was just curious. So, close please. Edited by Stella, Feb 8 2009, 06:54 PM.

If we wipe, we're wiping everything. What's the point of making people lose all of their items? That will just piss them off and they will most likely make a new character to fund their old ones, might as well do the whole thing. And yes we have a test server up and we're testing the "New" type of gameplay we want, we'll be posting some screenies or maybe a thread just showing you guys some things in the future. We will most definitely wipe if things don't get better on the main server, so if you quit playing then most likely the server is going to get wiped. QFT We wiped the server because of the @ring glitch in the past. In our scenario right now, people glitched Super pianus and took it down way faster and efficient than it should be, so I see that as being a reason to wipe. Unless you guys want godly stated items running around on the market. Edited by Reiatz, Feb 8 2009, 08:32 PM.

Any idea when this is gonna happen, like a timeframe? I'm kinda reluctant to play now because there's not really a point w/ a wipe coming. |

It's not going to happen for awhile so might as well continue playing. Right now the test server is only our version of Tespia. Dylan's going to put things in for us to test and if it turns out well, he'll add it to the main server. And there still is a point if you want to be in the hall of fame. |

Things aren't going to get better unless Super Pianus is taken out. I really think that that PQ hurt the server a lot. And no, taking it out doesn't fix the damage that's already done. But it would help. All of these PQ's you guys are thinking of that give these great prizes and exp are truly hurting the server. Sure things need to be developed, but ExiaMS was a GREAT server on it's own before ARPQ was added in. |

True. Bosshunter PQ also did a lot. I mean, look at the items you can get from it. It destroys all other well scrolled items. The server just isn't the same as when I started playing. It's almost like GMS. It was so fun when I started, but it just kept adding more things that made it seem like such a drag. :x |

Bosshunter PQ was fun though, and I wouldn't mind a way to at least get average Bosshunter stuff. However, making every bosshunter drop average would kill the purpose of doing more than the first two waves. So how about, as a replacement, it becomes an exchange quest type deal. All monsters in Bosshunter PQ drop a type of coupon, and the harder to kill monsters drop more of them at once, the way the Tauromacis in Ludi Maze PQ dropped bigger stacks of coupons than the nubby monsters. That way, people can kill more than just the Mano/Stump/whatever the radish is wave and rush over and over. After so many coupons, you can exchange them for an average Bosshunter equip, or perhaps make it like Gachapon so it's +/- 1 in each stat that counts. So the best Bosshunter Armor would be 6 STR, 6 DEX, which is about on par with level 100 overalls for the bowmen and Battle Roads for warriors. And yeah, take Super Pianus out. I'd say instead, make some of those drop at Zakum in their average forms, but also not in great amounts. This way, people actually DO Zakum more often since there's a chance of getting items to sell for profit. Zakum Helm selling doesn't really work here, and profit is why Zakum groups exist on GMS, so give the runners a shot at making some money by selling stuff. But again, keep the drop rate down so they don't become giveaways the way Super Pianus drops ended up. This server will do a lot better if there's reason to Zakum run other than getting a helm on yourself or a good friend. |

Zeek's idea of having monsters drop something to exchange is great. I mean, Exia had the idea of putting Boss monster points or whatever to use. So instead of adding a drop you could just put your accumulated points towards something. I'm totally clinging onto the way Exia is right now. I don't care if there is a wipe or not but the way that it is right now is just so good. It's a good server with good features and if you take too much away from what makes Exia, Exia, it isn't Exia anymore. lol |

I really hope you guys know we didn't create AquaPQ and Bosshunter PQ lol. Someone released them and we added them in. The PQ's Kenny and I posted aren't nearly as bad as those, and they do give some good rewards but at a low rate. |

Oh, well I knew you didn't create BHPQ yourselves, but I thought that AquaPQ was done by you guys. Sorry about that. ...But either way. It isn't really about who created it, it was implemented and it's ruined a lot of the server because it was left there for so long. And...I didn't read the TimePQ all the way, but I read the Delicious one, and the rewards in it aren't on the same level as Aqua, but it's the same idea. ...Sorry. |

Yeah that's a reason we made the test server, so we can test new things before we implement them into the main server etc. As for the PQ I made, I based the bonus kind of like Amoria PQ. Most likely we would add in some more useless stuff to the cakes at the end of the bonus stage anyways. That list was made in like 5 minutes lol. The mini cakes at the end wont be dropping over stated items at a high rate anyways. The cakes at the end will drop those items at an extremely low rate and you only get 30 seconds to kill them. |

No offense whatsoever but I'm going to BAWWW a little here because I don't see a point in "continue playing" if it's inevitably going to get wiped, whether it's 1 week from now or 1 month from now. The work you put into your character, grinding and scrolling will be wasted and do you really wanna go through all that work again after the wipe? You might get into 1st gen Hall of Fame but is it worth it if you don't get to keep your hard work? And if 1st gen gets wiped, 1st gen is now tagged as "the generation when things were 'easy' to get". So does 1st gen even have value or meaning anymore since it's look upon like that? Now, I'm not flaming or disagreeing with you Varietal, but I'm going to agree with Stella that "if you take too much away from what makes Exia, Exia, it isn't Exia anymore. lol" |
