[quote="ZUZU"]Hi all, Recently i made a thread regarding Nega tears and the lack thereof when it comes to people that don't want to attend Nega and are not lucky enough to get last hit. From that thread we managed to get a new quest in place with Dan for 3x mystical fragments that drop from both worlds top mobs into a tear, allowing a pathway to double tabs just for grinding mobs. Massive step in the right direct. With that said, we clearly need content for end game, so this thread is for you all to pop in suggestions that are both content related and QoL related, and we can discuss in one place what can be added within the time restraints the GM's currently have with home life / working life and development time for Soma. I will update viable suggestions on this post so it's easy to keep a track of. 1) Events at time 14 and time 20 - 2 new bosses? [spoiler]Can have an easy to implement sequence required to trigger it Drops include Mystical fragments / Soul shards (all 3 shards within same drop file?) / Medium sized gems?[/spoiler] 2) Aura changes? [spoiler]All 1st auras slight attack and acc increase 2nd aura more def, eva, hp, 3rd Aura: axe concuss for longer with psn or confuse knux/sword/spear slight attack increase bow duration of arrow for longer 4th Aura: bow psn or slow knux increase attack spear increase attack and drain sword increase attack and confuse 5th Aura: axe stone damage hit with zombie or blind need more axe skill to use bow super trace red on map like in party increase attack and decreased cooldown knux increased attack and psn Staff aura: Increased mp recovery Increased evasion Spells dont cost mana Increased spell range[/spoiler] 3) Conti quests - opposing races! Complete quests on the opposing races territory to encourage RvR action [spoiler]Unlock the essence quests by completing these below: Kill 2000 wbm for humans Kill 2000 druids for human mages Reward =? Kill 2000 elite lizard for devs Kill 2000 nm for dsoma mages Reward =? "Not my ess" quest for DSoma Nm ess Leiver beast ess Raptor beast ess Frag ess Edw conti ess Reward =? "Not my land" quest for Hsoma Wbm ess Apai ess Fireworm ess Inguit ess Edw conti ess Reward =?[/spoiler] 4) Upgrade items adjusted to go +8 Some upgrade items that are limited to +5 to go to +8 [spoiler]ToE to +8 so SS isn't needed however will ultimately get a lesser recoil +8 weapon, allows people to catch up with the OP gear ingame Blue POD to +8 Red POD to +8 any others?[/spoiler] 5) Allowing some maps to be more "Brutal and punishing for PK" and disabling PK on others [spoiler]VOD has increased drop rates for all mobs and is PK enabled Merc has increased drop rates for all mobs and PK is enabled Abias drop rates stay the same and PK mode is disabled TYT drop rates stay the same and PK mode is disabled Infernal Caves has increased drop rates and PK enabled Hwan drop rates stay the same and PK is disabled Pandi drop rates stay the same and PK is disabled [b]*Immunity potions are removed from the game*[/b] to ensure they are not used in PK enabled maps Mobs that are in PK enabled zones are also applied to PK disabled maps to ensure PVE focused players can have a crack at the same mobs with a lesser drop rate You can then re-introduce K/D to the website <3 PLZ [/spoiler] 6) Rested at Gypo + Slight QoL changes for Devil / Angel Moral characters [spoiler]Allow rested to be gained at Gypo + Dsoma PK WH Copy an NPC in both areas and share EVT's from Jhon + Dowhan so you are still able to quest even if you decide to live the life of a slayer Moral is much harder to gain now, and some people are "allowing kills on themselves" to drain enemy moral, this is because you are punished too hard as a Wicked or Devil moral player, missing out on questing and rested[/spoiler][/quote]

[quote="SB99"]Time 4: logon - Time 5: Big Bertha - Time 6: nega run - Time 7: wait for nega/PK - Time 8: nega and logoff I would just really like more stuff to do on a Soma day. I made the suggestion of a second nega boss for mages in another thread but could be anything![/quote]

[quote="LUTHER"]a boss in the arena that doesn't move and takes a while to die would be cool - would have to add the auto spawn thing that huts have to entrances though i guess[/quote]

[quote="NITEFALL"]Id like to see increase in spells and auras interwhined with quests All 1st auras slight attack and acc increase 2nd aura more def, eva, hp, 3rd axe concuss for longer with psn or confuse 3rd knux/sword/spear slight attack increase 3rd bow duration of arrow for longer 4th bow psn or slow 4th knux increase attack 4th spear increase attack and drain 4th sword increase attack and confuse 5th axe stone damage hit with zombie or blind need more axe skill to use 5th bow super trace red on map like in party 5th increase attack and decreased cooldown 5th knux increased attack and psn Mages Increased mp recovery Increased evasion Spells dont cost mana Increased spell range Just a few rough idea and easily implemented [/quote]

[quote="NITEFALL"]Cost pos, 7.5k per spell Kill count at active hunting spawns of opposing races Kill 2000 wbm for humans Kill 2000 druids for human mages Kill 2000 elite lizard for devs Kill 2000 nm for dsoma mages Not my ess quest for devs Nm ess Leiver beast ess Raptor beast ess Frag ess Edw conti ess Needed to activate quests above Not my land quest for humans Wbm ess Apai ess Fireworm ess Inguit ess Edw conti ess [/quote]

[quote="NITEFALL"]Have to get while opposing race owns conti but hand into your conti npc when you own [/quote]

[quote="NITEFALL"]Promote rvr and hopefully some teamwork from both races to take over a hunting area while farming required mats[/quote]

[quote="TYRESE"]Nice ideas nite. I’d love to see a slightly bigger elder spawn at conti, there’s only four elders at once and if it’s busy you stand round more than you hunt.[/quote]

[quote="OPENTHEDOOR"]While all these ideas are good, there is nothing that I see would “bring people back”. My main issue with the game was time invested - outcome unless you are extremely lucky is completely fucked and I think it’s something that has got worse and worse. When I capped 130 on EAC I was the only guy really at raps as only person at the time above 239 str I believe. Everything I got at raps in 5 levels inc quests and boss kills on a few chars plus traded weps/items broke. I don’t think any of it made it beyond +4. I also went to nega 3 times a day while working from home, on mage and warrior sometimes both at the same time. I think I got 3 kills in about 4 months. 1) change anvil to ghost upgrade 2) have repeatable quests based on damage done to bosses. Reward participation/effort 3) valor increase the ways to get this. Add it to dailies and have more quests, even make it tradable. 4) apart from hero items nothing should be character bound. The economy needs stimulation. Look how well boss souls worked out. Even make the tomes tradable. Give serial farmers something they can sell for decent items 5) reset Pos. Make it so pos is only gainable within 10 levels, put some upgrades valor ect into pos shop[/quote]

Level 5 confuse and slow - 2 second walk on cast (cannot be done through proc) Remove all procs from archers, eg, must be range 1 to proc dispell, slow. Bow is too good at everything, especially on dsoma. Reduce archer range by 1. Rework how dex is earned on dsoma. I think the best thing for pos/gvw would be to end the current "season". People have ridiculously high pos and high gvw wins. Make seasons for these, season 1 from x to present ends. Season 2 begins with everyone back at 0. Set an end date for season 2. [/quote]

[quote="BRAINSTORM"]people always refer to archer on dsoma, archers on dsoma have had enough nerfs lol i just say lower dex on devil archers or cap it at 250 or something[/quote]

[quote="LUTHER"]agree with a lot of above except everything being tradeable imo there should be more untradeable stuff not less - to encourage time invested into a char over people just lending each other gear etc in terms of economy imo barr should be seriously brought into play by adding huge barr sinks - if barr became valueable again it gives every item a secondary value, people will buy stuff they don't need if they see a good deal to sell on for a higher price etc[/quote]

[quote="RAVENSOUL"]Allow crafters to disassemble stinger and psycho x bow tier weapons, make the mats returned mag mat tier. Same for bone and bitter bone armour too.[/quote]

[quote="ZUZU"]Thanks for the input, i will clear this up onto the original post tomorrow So far thanks to feedback we have had: Mystical fragments introduced to the game A new T14 boss added to the game <3[/quote]

[quote="SB99"]Thanks for the hard work, Zuzu and iSylver.[/quote]
