The Forum

[quote="MASSGUILD"]I thought I would create a poll and try to consolidate peoples suggestions on a new server in one post as the other thread is dead and has no poll. The user count is quite low at the moment so... Firstly I think a new server would bring some people back like myself and create excitement. Who doesn't like a fresh start and to be more competitive. This is when Soma is at its best and most nostalgic. https://strawpoll.com/e7ZJG4225y3 The changes some of us would like to see are as follows: (please add more in your post if it's not here if you want to - I will have missed a lot and won't have typed everyone's suggestions and remember these are just suggestions) - Make healing give no int so you don't have to heal to 100 int and con faster. (My favorite) - Make healing and gaining con significantly faster. - Give characters 100 int and 32 con on new character. - Change level cap back to something lower. - Increase drop rates. - Make weapon speeds only upped to +5 so we don't have A+++++++ knuckles. - Make crafting much faster and increase mat restocks significantly. - Take out valour weapons and/or increase people's hp. - Make all aura's useful like changing sword's hp regen to a higher tick of hp. (this is done in SQL changing 2 values that takes 10 seconds to do. - Take out 5th axe - Ghost upgrade. - SR at the blacksmiths for 50k barr - Remove possibility to fail whilst combining/preparing/cooking the top tier upgrades like SS CDT etc - Anvil success directly related to your craft skill. - Make RvR subject to the same level constraints as PvP so noobs can hunt conti nightmares without getting one hit by devil archers. - More action taken on bots and cheats. - Remove any remaining vestige of +50 at 83 str or whatever it is on Hsoma. - Maybe set total stat gains to be fixed on Hsoma so there is no advantage to leveling with bow/axe. (I don't understand this one very well but I would like to be able to use weapons other than bow and axe from the start) - Dex can be to overpowered. - Revamp crafting so it is a bit more interesting and less of an AFK grind. - Maybe repeatable hit counter quests on bosses to turn in for guaranteed rewards rather than RNG & last hit. - PK v immunity maps with significant rewards for PK plus some revamp of the POS system to make PK give POS. Relevant POS shop items to trade in for PVP gear. - The quest system needs a complete overhaul and made more fun. - Rank page for level and stats. - Re balance human/devil balance. - Two Guild Villages. It also creates another TYT and IC map so that players outside of Europe can enjoy gvw. This is a consideration for people in other regions and will further boost the game. - Attacking the same guild members The situation in which a death drop occurs by killing the same guild member in a safe zone should be deleted. - Improve the defense to attack ratios. - add MD/MA as it’s own stat as to free up special slots for mages and allow more dynamic builds. - add a new set of auras that gives more benefit to other weapons to remove the concept of “myth of bows” whilst simultaneously reducing damage over distance further. - find a way to increase level and stat caps without it becoming myth of clones. - Make it so you don't have to hunt blg and hoarde at around 84-90str. - Getting through early content is to fast. - More weapon and armour drops early on. Thanks for reading. [/quote]

[quote="HOGAN"]Without active GMs who log in daily to hunt down all the bots what would be the point of a grinding on a fresh start server? [/quote]

[quote="SGSDYSJYJ"]Unfortunately finito and isylver have shown no interest in banning certain people for blatant botting. Gangsters/DLKR/Devil guilds not 1 legit player amongst them all get slaps on the wrist and are allowed to keep their chars/items gained through botting 24/7. They would much rather perma ban a new player afk healing to 100 int for the first time.[/quote]

[quote="DIZUKE"]It will never happen until someone else does it. People have been asking for years. Untill some one comes out and makes a completely new server and website away from this one it will never happen and likely will not happen.[/quote]

Are you still salty Finito banned your char for botting having xfered sd to it and now moaning when you are the worst for botting?? :D:D You would sell your own dad for money to fund your spirit powder, you dirty little disgusting crack goblin cunt[/quote]

[quote="MASSGUILD"]Ok so 83% of people want a server wipe. Why isn't it being done? I hope the GMs will consider it.[/quote]

[quote="PHOEBUS"]Get rid of val weps and champ arm, get rid of double tabs, get rid of healing and make con easier by making it quest reward for some, revamp the quest themselves or just get rid of the dumb ones. Revamp the lvling for hsoma either like dsoma fixed roles or sort the bonuses 50+ bollocks out. Cap to something low like 100. Cap everything to +5 and change Eva and acc to dsoma so +5 is 5%. Get rid of imm pots bring back tt2, make craft tick x2 x3, program random events open world, spend time sorting gvw out, there have been loads of good suggestions over the years like changing it like wotw system stone holding. Don't take bribes from players to unban and then you will have a game I would like to play. Obviously this is just my opinion so chill. Quasimodo [/quote]

[quote="3D"][quote="MASSGUILD"]Ok so 83% of people want a server wipe. Why isn't it being done? I hope the GMs will consider it.[/quote] Because there was barely double digits in terms of votes? A tiny sample size on strawpoll of all places means pretty much zero. New servers pop up now and then and no one ever plays on them, even when they're advertised on here/discord - in general people that actually still play wouldn't want to lose everything they've spent years doing. There's also the fact that a wipe does nothing to solve the myriad issues on here. If we're being honest almost all the problems on here come down to bad, shortsighted design and lack of active presence. The various things listed by quasi above would be nice but most of them don't exist through choice. The mess of valour, 50+ leveling, +8 weaps, yada yada was all a design choice - someone thought all that nonsense was a good idea. Why would starting over be any different? And are they miraculously going to start caring about the rampant botting and over the top abuse that's everywhere at this point? Or would we restart and just be miles behind a small army of bots in terms of levels and gear for months/years? tldr - a wipe solves nothing, if you want a soma server without all the nonsense this isn't the place any more.

[quote="DIZUKE"]But there is no Soma Hub for such things. This website is for this server. Somadev forum was the pinnacle of open source development and server advertisement. Its time to bring it back. [/quote]
