[quote="LEVEL0"]Hi all, I would like to suggest a new series of string quests similar to that of the Legendary Cook book quest in Merc... I propose three quests in total each with different types of rewards (for individual quest completion) and all culminating in a + 1.0 of a selected statistic (STR, DEX, INT, CON, WISDOM). This will add to the end-game and also give players an opportunity to better their characters or to round up their stats to a whole number i.e. if you end on 247 int but wanted 250 you can do these quests to claim the rewards. I'm not proposing that these quests be easy or simple... they should include a range of tasks and require a certain number of monsters to be killed too. I'd also suggest creating new items that must be gathered specifically for these quests and that they also must involve venturing far and wide in the realms of soma. [/quote]

[quote="LUP2SCUS"]this is endgame stuff ... absolute endgame stuff..as the leg cookbook quest was designed for the cap of lev 100 ...years ago... whilst it may sound useful... players might like to think its not end of the line.. and more levels and stats could be obtained. However... Adding more levels and stats, whilst sounding good... and has done for the last 18 months or so... what about balance.... players in valour weps are 3-4 hitting hell trolls/vafers... not seen them on blg...but it aint gona be long before blg are 1 hitted.... hell trolls 2 hitted? All crazy shit without some rebalance of weps .. or the introduction of new maps with new mobs for hi lev players.. And then.. add a new stats system where u get a lot more than 1.0 str/int or dex for 100% per level..... Doubt very much this is gona happen. So , as been requested before.. to breathe life back into Soma.. the only way is for a server rewind.. back on original rates ( for this server) approx 12 months for 1-100 levels... maybe cap it at lev 110 or lev 115 with max weps being nega weps... Give gm's time to take a breather and see if, and where it goes from there. Valour and double tabs have done nothing but alienate 80% + of the server ..and the few that are left playing are either 24/7 ers or buyers and sellers... As it stands...soma is paralysed by cheats/ bots/ buyers and the others that used to play, cba anymore. It's just bent and largely corrupt.. and that is fact. Why carry on with a limited, broken, cheating userbase, when you could re-invigorate it and start again? Rewind is needed, with gm's keeping an eye on things and stopping cheating. Fingers crossed hehe [/quote]

[quote="FOXTRCK"]It's just an idea Loopi, he isn't trying to address everything the game needs or it's problems, just pointing out an aspect of something of the game might be a nice to have and be repeated... Please try and keep perspective and stop twisting things into "what you want" or "think it needs" and just ruining someone's idea thread. A simple "no, the game doesn't <need> that" will suffice from your perspective. Back on topic, yes quests like the Legendary cookbook were cool, would be nice to repeat them in some new way for sure.[/quote]

[quote="LUP2SCUS"]umm don't believe i said 'no' to the idea.. just pointed out that xtra stat quests are absolute endgame stuff.. the cookbook quest is lev 30 or 50? or summat can't rember... but ppl usually leave it till the end for optimum benefit.. if there is gona be no more levels then great.. ye xtra stats sound good... at a guess i wud think most players would hope that it's not 'endgame' just yet.. if there weren't as many cheaters around, the gm's might have more incentive to add xtra things.. that's not for my benefit or what i want.. it's for the benefit of everyone anyway.. good to know ur still here Mr Fox[/quote]
