2- you shouldn't alter your progression for anyone, but remember, Mabinogi here on this version is f2p, and from the looks of how Drahan/Flip and the other devs are doing things, this server aint going anywhere(I mean, down or something) its here to stay, so rush all you want, you'll burn out eventually like some of the other "veterans" or "high level" players like you call them, did, and quit.
I would love to know for the love of fucking G O D how the addition of AoE pets will turn the private server into p2w. How does one even fucking rush my dude when you're able to get x4 exp AND access of a custom SM, that compared to SCC gives shit ton more exp.. Like legit the exp you get from int is what your would be getting from spamming scc adv.. exp from adv is same as scc HM. explain.
Learn to wait and not to rush?
And what you are asking it is to steam rool, no matter how many "pretty words" you use it, and the community IS there, you just want them to be rushing like you did to get to that point to run the same shit as you, and none of them seem interested to do so, yea, I do think its either time for you to move on to the next mmo "beat" and repeat then being around then.
If someone isnt going at your pace they must be rushing amiright?? i havent "beat" this yet cant move on you're stuck with me it seems.
I honestly feel that bringing AoE pets is going to make people solo stuff even more.
Mabi.Pro has been trying to get people to play together more by bringing party quests and the like and nerfing skeleton scrolls to get people to actually play together.
Sure one might have trouble soloing a particular mode or mission, but in my opinion it's only going to drive people even further from playing together when the Mabi.Pro team has been trying hard to get people to play together.
Because then everyone will just end up soloing using AoE pets, Mabi.Pro has already been seeing a decline in players because people aren't finding other players to play with.
I think the focus should not be on AoE pets to solo, but rather on getting people to be able to play with each other in a party more. Maybe lowering restrictions of shadow mission minimum levels would help this.
PS: Most of the old 'pro' players stopped playing because they got burned out from solo grinding.
we can just take a look at live to show you how wrong this statement is. AoE pets have been out for however long Party play is going strong. as ive stated I would rather have players to run with than AoE pets but the sad FACT is we will most likely NEVER have a big enough player base for such. doesnt matter how many new players we get, if they are just quitting after the nostalgia is over. Also im sorry but lowering restrictions wont help considering they wont be ready skill or gear wise to run hardmode missions. A better solution would be to give new players a boots such as free exp pots or weekly rb until a certain level or something, but your gonna have people like Selzyr being against it because he will feel his non existent progression was for nothing.
That'd be me i guess. I don't think i can emphasize just how horrible it is to me. It's not just an issue of handling content, it's that you're asking for something to basically abuse the content of the game. You're not asking for ai or anything to be inspected, stats to be adjusted, or any sort of rebalance. You're asking for an abusive gimmick to give players an edge in content that is basically not intended for them to handle as they are doing. You want HM SMs that you can solo? Make it a suggestion, explain what you want and why. But to ask for a feature you can use pretty much anywhere to abuse content not meant for how you're playing, which will then be abused in other areas, is just wrong. Don't screw over the community for such a selfish reason. Make better use of the free crap you're given, and shyla's shops.
I can see what drawing's trying to argue, but ultimately selzyr has the right of it imo. No matter how drawing words it so people take pity on him, he still wants more abusive gimmicks to take advantage of, to solo content he's not meant to solo. While i feel sorry he has no one to play the game with on his level, that's just an unfortunate reality of it, but i refuse to let one 'poor me' convince me to support even more abusive mechanics.
I really dont see how the pets are exactly abusive. first you guys argued that they did too much damage upon summon, i gave a solution. dont want people hoarding to many, theres a solution for that aswell. you guys just keep going back to me wanting to abuse and solo content, as if the existant of AoE pets will kill party play.. cuz as we can CLEARLY see people dont party for missions anymore right? can you please tell me how the fuck AoE pets will be abuse on here?Let me state this again since you guys dont seem to understand it, even if u had 60 AoE pets being able to spam them none stop without having to do anything.. do u realize how dumb that sounds? im not asking for clouds for insta healings, im not asking for probably the most broken AoE pet; bone dragon. AoE pets have been out for YEARS on live it hasnt made the game "easier to solo" to anyone who had shit gear and low lv trying to solo high lv content, what it has made easier is access to those mission/dungeons that others are not available to run with you. So again i ask you to give me a reason of how they will get abused?
