• So I decided to make this thread for people who want to rant on netgame.
  
  So my rant is that dragons aren't incorporated enough when meanwhile their the only thing that RODE talks about. Dragons should really be more incorporated in this game when its what they talk about.
  
  Mods please don't lock or delete this thread. Lets just see what other people wanna rant about

• I'll add to that regarding mounted combat :
  
  As we all have seen mobs in the air you can fight and possibly farm for xp , has anyone ever bothered to fight them on a Bat/Leopard.
  
  If so what would the bonuses be considering the amount of gold it would cost to keep FT down ?..do those mobs give better drops/xp ? What about mounted quests ?... seems to be an overlooked feature.
  
  Mounted combat should be a lot more user friendly and useful , otherwise they are just pointless.. no one is going to make a ground based mount if they can get a flying one.
  
  Dragons should be hard to get i totally agree but not to the point where it's next to impossible due to the fail rate.

• Air mobs give the same exp and currency as their ground counterparts, but they are a little easier to kill and most do less damage.

• As long as there are no flame wars going on, or sensitive information being posted, and all rants are within Forum Rules, Conduct, and Etiquette along with ToS, I doubt this will be locked.
  
  Uui Uui~

• Wish there was a way to contact GM's and VM's outside of forum posts and 1:1's, even if it was only for 1 hour a day every other day or so.

• Too bad people can't contact you now about something that i strongly believe would greatly benefit everyone.

  Well I've seen Celysta online, in the game, on Azuria's side. She talked in Trade Chat. I wish they could come on a lot too. But as soon as a GM comes online and speaks, I can only imagine how many people must whisper them all at once asking questions, requesting fixes, or making demands.
  
  I think it's pretty understandable why they don't. 1:1 is pretty much the only way they can address every concern.
  
  P.S. Tabane is your character name on the Azuria side also Tabane? I'd be happy to add you as a contact, it couldn't hurt to know when the VM was available.

• It's not an emergency and the last thing I'd want to do is spark more arguments about favoritism.
  
  ...but if you're bored I'm sure each faction wouldn't mind a VM in their trade chat for 5 min to answer a question or two.

  Oh I agree with that. I'm just saying something like once or twice a week where you know you can have a GM answer a question definitely wouldn't hurt. I fully understand the hardships and limitations of doing this.

• 1. The head honchos thinking that having gonads means treating players as unintelligent instead of manning up to their complicity in game issues and listening to the player base on critical game-play issues. Compromises can be made and often are suggested but they are out-right rejected unless a mass exodus takes place and then it is too late.
  
  2. Failure rate of crafting is too high. I can't even make my toons jewelry and capes to meet their needs above L20 without going through literally bags worths of mats. Selling stuff of that level for in-game profit? Not a chance. I would be better off botting nodes, selling the mats, and buying the over-priced items on the Market.
  
  3. Failure-rate on the mounts. Maybe to Asian standards it works but not to Western standards. Reduce the rate (some) so we can be ready at 35 or so to get get that dragon scroll. And the dragon scroll should be no-fail. Period.
  
  4. Failure-rate on Socketing items. I am averaging 6-8 beads to double socket a single item. In my mind four beads average for a double socket would be more palatable and affordable. I might even try more triple socketing it this was the case and be willing to pay money, either rl cash or in-game gold, for the failure reducers to do this. As it is I am afraid to try triple socketing even with the ca$h $hop items.
  
  4. Bosses need to drop at least one rare per boss. Many groups pass the first two bosses in CN unless someone has a quest to fulfill because their drop-rates are virtually non-existent. Plus my Cleric is stuck with a L15 book and boots at L27 now and the boots are 30g and book 50g on the Market. The Instance drop changes were supposed to reduce inflation and get people more interested in fighting bosses and in both cases has done just the opposite. If every boss dropped at least one blue then both situations would be resolved.
  
  5. Inflation on beads. Combined with the failure rate on crafting high level beads the drop on normal mobs has been eliminated causing a huge void in supply as demand has increased with people leveling toons up. I see many L25 gears socketed with Lowbeads on the Market and can assume that is because high beads are out of people's ability to afford them.
  
  6. Mounted combat needs to made economically viable. Whether this is done through a reduction of the cost of Fatigue pots or an increase of the loot tables for flying mobs or a combination of both I do not know. And when I say an increase of the loot tables I do not mean cash drops as much as gear. I already discussed my idea of making it so gear drops do not lead to an influx of gold into the economy. If the loot drops were increased to something akin to the elite tables but the cash drops kept as is or even lowered along with a massive reduction in fatigue potion costs it would inspire great excitement for aerial combat.
  
  7. Class balancing is always an issue in all games so i won't drone on too much about it here other than point a finger at my tank, for now. I mentioned the issues in detail already in other threads.
  
  8. Although I think the devs are doing things to increase RW participation and will continue (hopefully) take steps to increase the population on the Azzie side, my rant is not directed at the devs here but at the Furians. Stay out of Ch.2 Olg for a few weeks. I explained in another thread how this is needed to aide in this issue. You Furians do not have to agree with me but just give it a shot and see if it doesn't help.
  
  9. Hats- yes, hats. We need more pointy hats for the Western idea of Wizards and less hats that look like someone dropped a washcloth on our heads. Warrior helmets with horns and wings and skeleton faces.
  
  10. Hair- we need salons to change our hairstyles and hair color and a better color-picking system than is currently in the character creation. I could not make a hot pink or neon green, for instance. A salon would be a great way to take gold out of game circulation and further head off inflation. It would be used more often with in-game gold than with a ca$h $hop purchase.
  
  11. Displayable outfits, be it fusible with NO failure with in-game gear or just displayable in-game while armor stats are still used doesn't matter. These outfits should both be craftable and Ca$h $hop and in of themselves have no stats. You guys can even challenge the community with a contest to present 3-d models with the winners getting free Ca$h $hop credits and an in-game outfit they created and you get basically free art-work in return. Such a contest can become a regular event for the game. In fact new hairstyles could also be a contest event. This would also go a long way in changing your own ideas of the intelligence level of your clientele.

• The hardest part about being a Player is never knowing whether the Developers are going to consider your request, or ignore it. The hardest part about being a Developer is always trying to consider every request, and make sure none are ever ignored.
  
  We both have it pretty rough.
  
  
  EDIT
  
  Krungle, I'm one of the longest-talking, drawn out forum posters I know of. And yet even I'm starting to get overwhelmed by how massive some of your posts are. :p There sure is a lot that goes through your mind.

• ah hah so this thread is what got Tabane in trade chat
  
  was nice to see and no she wouldnt answer any tough questions.
  
  I liked mine. What is the failure/success rate for mounts ?
  
  I mean is it RNG? Is there a set success rate depending on level of companion? Is it possibly based upon how many times you try?
  
  You would think thats public knowledge..
