[quote="VISKAH"]Ok, so i think the lands of Soma are abit ... stale? at the moment.... We all want a Snow Cave - i remember a Rhyse server remade D1 into the troll cave and it just felt ... right! i have an idea that in my head works, and would make for some new time addiction, probably bring alot of people back and make pvp great again. Use the skin of D1 Add spawns for: BLG NM Boars Trolls Wasps magma beasts All mobs give 1.5X exp All mobs give 2x drop rates Resurrection scrolls do not work, meaning hunt in packs or prepare to get some penalty / lose items No doubt floors to my idea, but for 2x drops on viskah, or 1.5x stats on Vanish i would be asking guildies to team up and hunt with me, every other map has res scroll protection, so its only a KD issue if you die. Hell make it cost 10x res scrolls each time you enter (250k) to counter the 2x barr drops you would be getting. Maybe add a blacksmith for repair and an NPC that sells +50's / serums and feathers only Brings back both pvp and sorts the cry for faster lvling / more drops to break at the anvil without giving it for free, and instead at great risk. ofcourse the same could be done for Deadsoma too Thought ladies and gents?[/quote]

[quote="DISCOBISCUIT"]I personally think that this patch came to soon if something does get released let's hope it's not rushed out and untested [/quote]

[quote="DR_EVIL"]Cool idea mate, +1. +1 Disco also.[/quote]

[quote="YUKA"]I'd rather see the cave available FROM lvl 120. Then, make drop rate 3x.. Dont need 2x exp.[/quote]

[quote="VISKAH"][quote="YUKA"]I'd rather see the cave available FROM lvl 120. Then, make drop rate 3x.. Dont need 2x exp.[/quote] Think 3x rates is a big ask. I did 1.5x exp and 2x drops as that to me is realistic. And doesnt just benefit capped chars only[/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]Sounds a decent idea, though lots of work for Fin .. imo.. with china and associates, playing multi-characters and getting 80-90% of all the decent bosses and drops.. that leaves other ppl with only a a few hours a day to play, at some serious disadvantage... ofc ppl that play serious hours will have more, but atm there's a serious imbalance that isn't being addressed. Get some of these boss only drops added to normal mob files... and possibly quite a few more drops in general for the more casual players. Maybe a new beefed up mag ..crystal mag or summat... that has a different drop file...but with some nice things..duno... maybe some more mats dropping for crafters too .. pointless having 200 skill crafters that can barely find any mats to make anything when they puttin 40-50 hours a week into the game. Could be dan/ fin busy ..and they're on the case already. Ppl moaning bout the patch too early and not tested ... they'd be moaning a lot more if our top mob was boars and valks still and no increase in the level cap yet.. As regards it not being tested... ive seen no problems with it at all, that any testing would have done differently. Another new int/ mele mob and another 10 levs+ introduced ..at very slow rates would be a good idea.. sl;ow maybe a pain in the ass..but if they drop some nice stuff who cares..and it gives u sumthin to do other than farm..stats always welcome... no new gear needed i think.. just more stats and another 10 levs !

[quote="VISKAH"]Thanks for replying Lupi The idea is to require minimal effort with a large impact.MY idea wouldn't take more than a night for Fin / Dan (having used soma files and servers many moons ago i can vouch) We are not asking for a new map skin, a copy and paste job, and the same mobs / stats we have now with rates 1.5x and drops 2.x is a couple of clicks i would have thought. And with all this considered i know the changes finito has made over the years makes the process even easier than the old days when i used to dabble with SQL most of it is copy and paste - but would fix the issue of slower rates and low drops. I do agree that a new mob would be nice to add some of the boss drops into the file. I did not ask for this as it would require balancing and more thought than my original idea,[/quote]

[/quote] Outside of the stuff they've done in regards to real money. One thing I'll always give full credit to china for over the years is the fact they all stick together and help each other out when it comes to attending bosses for the best chance of drops and making gear. They've been doing it right for a long time compared to someone who plays by themself. [/quote]

[quote="LUPISCUS"]''outside of the stuff they've done in regards to rl money'' .............. stop there..and think about it . ''Give them credit'' ? i wudn't pee on them if they was on fire .. irl Same for all buyers/ sellers. Iv'e donated a fair few £'s to the server here..when i could have been 'donating' them elsewhere..and quite possibly have a lot more items than i have now. So my sympathy for buying isnt great, and credit is not 1 thing i'd give to any of them. I would like to see some fair balance .. a reason to play for the less hardcore players, and a way to stop the monopoly on boss drops and general pee - taking. [/quote]

[quote="CARNAGE"][quote="DEAMOND"]You do know there are only two people that play china's characters, right? [/quote] Doesn't really matter if it's two, five or ten, they're doing something to get gear and drops and it works. Probably why they rack up drops and gear and those moaning don't.

[/quote] That's because soma is his business, his lively hood how he earns his bacon. Nobody else in their right mind would sit at a computer screen for 18 hours a day multi-tasking like he does (plays 4 chars at once) for any other reason and to expect others to do the same is just absurd.
