It’s this simple. To keep player interest and hold players on F2P these are they changes that have to happen in the next 2 weeks.
*There are other big issues, but these are the ones that NEED to be fixed for an enjoyable game play experience for all users. Quality of life things can come later.
MUST CHANGE:
-
Monster spawn rate: The 2 minute mass respawn does not work for this type of game. Either revert to single monster timer spawns or lower the mass spawn to a more reasonable time (45 seconds MAXIMUM). Currently there is nothing to kill on most grind maps, because the mass spawns are way way to slow, ideally they would be under 30 seconds so that party’s could effectively grind together and have fun instead of waiting around.
-
Personal storage: Players need to be able to trade items between their own TEAM through storage without ANY restrictions, there should be no loss of potential or any other negative effects from sharing with your other characters, This has ZERO impact on RMT.
-
Marketplace: The restriction of items put up for sale needs to be increased for the system you had in mind to work - if players cannot put up 10-20 items each so that the market can find set prices for items quickly, then it will never work. Because with only 5 spaces (premium) people will never place less valuable materials and items on the market because they need the slots for more profitable items, thus most of the games materials and items will never develope a set price range.
CAN CHANGE IN TIME:
Bots: Almost impossible to get rid of, wasting your efforts on this when there are much bigger issues (Monster spawn rate for one) is a waste of resources and a fight you will NEVER win.
Party Options: Options to disable damage numbers from other players and pets so that you can monitor how much you are actually doing, every class feels underwhelming because players cannot actually see what damage they are doing through the number spam of the party.
Performance: The game needs massive performance enhancements. There is no reason for a game like this to lag on modern gaming PC’s. If it means reworking the network code from scratch and transfering everything over once complete then I suggest you get to work on it for a big update down the line. A lot of the features you want in the game will never work with the way it performs right now with many characters on screen.
