[quote="SB99"]A Soma day feels like its over by time8/9 atm. I enjoy the nega run and some of the stuff that comes with it. Devils defending one crystal at blg the other day and stopping us from getting it would be a great example. Wondering if another crystal run at time 15, 16, 17 or 18 etc would be possible and what everyone thought of it? Maybe nega twice a day would be pretty bad and the items would be become a lot less rare so maybe a different boss with the same mini game crystal run? An alternate nega that doesn't drop weapons etc but drops upgrade tabs and jewels? [/quote]

[quote="RAVENSOUL"]With your suggestion on just upgrade tabs and jewels. Maybe an idea if it’s possible for having 2 per soma day could be. First drops weapons, armour, accessories? Second drops upgrade items, gems?[/quote]

[quote="MANDELA"]umm decent idea .. if this was endgame and nothing else to come would prefer to see more game.. levels/ mobs/items/ stats etc if we conceding that all is left is getting better gear, and the only means of advancement is doing bosses and getting better items..then the game is finished imo just an opinion... some seem happy with doing bosses to advance.. but kills any furthering of the game .. gona be the hi geared guys getting most things... and pff.. new accessories this.. new accessories that.. .. new ways of upgrading those items... but where is the game advancement.. don't seeing it coming from having more top end bosses personally Everything is seeming like a gear chase atm and soma has disappeared...where is the game? !! Would be nice to see new levels and mobs.. dropping better items..so ppl have to start again with their gear chase..upgrading them... more levs and stats to be gained.. maybe higher stat reqs to wear them..so every1 isn't wearing the same stuff.. and the only difference between players isn't some1 having a +7 or a +8 item... or a +4 or +5 .. etc etc duno... x[/quote]

[quote="SB99"][quote="RAVENSOUL"]With your suggestion on just upgrade tabs and jewels. Maybe an idea if it’s possible for having 2 per soma day could be. First drops weapons, armour, accessories? Second drops upgrade items, gems?[/quote] Yeah basically this is what I was trying to say. [/quote]

Doesn't mean the game should go in one direction instead of the other. Both can be improved. [/quote]

[quote="MANDELA"]was thinking more of new mobs, new drops, new items ..new items to find and upgrade .. not particularly grinding for fun.. just some soma gameplay rather then boss hunting for any kind of advancement.. which with nega boss being mainly the only option atm is shutting out the majority of the server.. as it has done for some many months now. Just my opinion... could be totally wrong... but gear chasing against fully geared guys and guilds attending 'the' boss just doesn't seem a way to take things forward for most players[/quote]

[quote="RAVENSOUL"]The trouble soma has is the same it always has been in that the bosses drop the best items and it should be that way. A lot of players attend bosses and a lot of players don’t, the main reason players don’t attend is the fact no matter how many attend and take part in killing a boss only 1 player gets the drop technical, so many feel what’s the point if your not able to be one of the few able to surround the boss for the chance to pick up the items. You don’t get any rewards for any hits on the boss unless it’s the killer shot, so even if you do 10% or 90% of the hits on the bosses it’s that final hit that rewards any player. [/quote]

[quote="MANDELA"]there are quests for many of the boss items..that's been improved over the last few months .. just would be nice to keep the over reliance on bosses for any progress to be kept at a minimum... there's loads of other stuff that could be implemented to keep things fresh for every1[/quote]

[quote="SB99"]I'm saying once time 8 is over I have nothing left to do. I've killed thousands of mags/raptors/spiders but it's become quite a chore now. Big bertha has really given me something to log on for and then nega after it. Once Nega is done, it's kinda what now? I don't want to wait around all day for random boss spawns. I want an objective to work towards with my team. (Hsoma) Current nega is mainly for knuck users with the odd mage kill here and there. Drops are melee only really. Maybe a second boss objective similar to nega but for mages and mage items would be good. Fix up the drops for both bosses. Could have staffs/tabs of mac/virt/lore, proc parts (move from current nega), new ma rings, ancient gear, titus added in. [/quote]

[quote="MANDELA"]in effect .. ur saying the nega boss is all you play for .. that's kinda my point.. anyway .. only a game... good game ...free game.. gm's proly have stuff in the pipeline x [/quote]
