LUPISCUS |
in the last 2-3 weeks of forum posts... most of which are very pertinent and things that could add a huge boost to the uc and qol changes that are needed if soma is to continue, thrive and move forward.
1. Server stability.. ability to heal has been increased, but u can't heal coz of freezes/ dcing 2. Talk of anvil changes.. plenty of talk 2-3 weeks ago by volunteer group.. yet no news since.. just it's being tested... well..how's the testing going on and what might we expect? 3. More drops? maybe not needed if the anvil is changed a bit.. duno.. enough ideas and pros and cons discussed to come up with something..hopefully. 4. Camping bosses ( look at jnjuny feed). Well maybe they do it all so they deserve it.. camping..multi- users... its bollox tbh.. wouldn't be so bad if if we had maybe total random boss spawns..in different places.. or some of these drops are available by other means.. i suggested some kind of mintons to get some of these rarer items.. 5. Dan been 'busy' for months now.. very little gm presence...and no reason to doubt that... but gm presence is always a huge boost to the uc and the morale of players.... Finito been busy recently..things have changed..some good changes, tho implementation hasn't been entirely successful.. Volunteer group has given us teasers of anvil changes etc and things to come. Maybe some more news and updates would be welcome. Personally iv'e capped 2 new characters in the last few months..waiting to heal some int... ( broke a +6 pan las night) and im now waiting for the promised anvil change. There's a great game here with potential if we can have a few more tweaks and changes. Hopefully some things can be fixed, and a bit more feedback from the gm's as to what is in the pipeline. Not moaning..just a few facts. Lots of players proly waiting for similar things and maybe the uc can pick up to what it's been in the past.

1) something that is constantly being worked on and being tested on a test server to get a real fix.
2) As quick as the anvil subject got put forward it has been quickly been put on the back burner, this was announced pretty quickly after the one suggestion from a GM was pretty much slammed by everyone... anvil will be looked at, but right now it’s not something that can be changed easily without big impact ingame and something that can’t be reverted if it goes wrong.no one has ever said 200 skill rewards you massively apart from the few crafters who think it should. Is there really a problem with the anvil .... Read 3 3) issue with anvil v drops, a wise man once told me it’s like a casino the more you put in the better chance you have it paying out. So if drops were increased x3 people will be running around with 8+ within weeks.. so is the issue anvil or do people no have enough items to go to the anvil with? I agree a increase in drops is really good for the server but I don’t think x3 is the way to fix this. 4) Go kill the bosses? you really can’t argue if they’re killing timed bosses if spawn was random then people without trace can’t find them. Really can’t win with this one unfortunately.... 5) Dan is busy, he does pop discord most days to check in. He has been on the p server scene pretty much from day 1, he doesn’t play so only does this for us so give the guy a break and show some appreciation. We’ve just finished Halloween event where most of the volunteers was busy with creating visual edits for towns. As well as ideas for rewards ect. Currently the soma wiki is being edited heavily by a few people and a whole new set of weapons is being created and taking a lot of time. Currently dsoma is being worked on for something really special and Dan is behind the whole thing. We’ve been talking about Christmas event today with GMs. We will try and put together a post with things to come. These things just don’t happen overnight unfortunately :(

temeroso.. u seem to be excusing no progress as a 'time issue'
virtually everything 'moaned' about has been an issue for years..not months or weeks.... There may well be excuses for delays about various things..but it's about time some leadership, risk and solutions were found. It can't go on with bs forum posts/ideas and nothing really happening. There's eager players here waiting for some real progress..lets see it happen !

Drop rate should be increased to reflect the exp rate increase imo.

Increasing drops has a number of benefits
1) addictive, keeps people logging in each night - makes those 2 hours of free time each night worth putting into Soma 2) means less tweaks to the anvil are needed (if any?) 3) keeps items dropping at the same rate as increased leveling

Lupiscus my man, in your words "be patient". I think the disparity in players expectations regarding updates and changes stem from how much a focus Soma is their own life. For fin/syl and many players Soma is but a past time whilst the most hardcore players focus on the game all day and seemingly all night.

"KAZOKU"Drops def need to increase, dsoma side is desperate for this(and not just x3, the relevant drops still dont seem to be effected even when its triple drops Remember Dsoma was built to not really require upgrades, look at the stats they get on the char and items, that's how dsoma should have stayed and just introduced new end game items etc... but now they are added it's going to be a challenge to balance them, I think they should have only received weap speed increase ups You say about humans getting loads of items in hunts where as an end game dev with not many upgrades can most likely take 2 of those said humans on in a 2v1 with all their upgrades lol
