IMC Logic not so logical. Population Decline Inc

General Discussion
#1

Halloween event brought back some players and increased population.

4x exp tome event brought back some players and increased population.

Fortune cookie event brought back some players and increased population.

Common denominator: Ways to level faster

Income for IMC: Reasons to buy TP to get more character slots to make more characters for end game: Saalus

IMC Logic: We doing good, lets fk it all up.

“Survival Instinct”

The name fits too. Everyone trying to survive in a game that it’s own company tries so hard to kill.

That is the twisted truth of the whole situation. Masochists, Whales and Whiteknights try to cope with the situation, while sane players have already left.

So, stop embarassing yourself!

And there’s something hidden on the update for a class that is almost lost to end game.
The necromancer.
Necromancer is a class common to use to farm on dina bee because you need a lot of silver to make that class good.
What IMC did?
Did they try to boost necromancer to take them out from dina bee?
No.
What they did was to increase the respawn time of the mobs on dina bee so who have a necromancer can be poor as any other on the game.
Yesterday I make 800k in 5 hours. Today after the update, 200k.
I’m not that mad because I only get necromancer c1, now I’ll probably try something else.

What are you talking about man? They increased the channels on Dina Bee Farm to 6 channels.

My guildmates told me that spawn rate is always bad on day of maintenance.

It’s a buff.

#5

More channels and more time to respawn
Not only on dina bee.
You can see that on the maps where the bots are running.

#6

Yes. They know the population is declining so they need more channels for more bots to make the game look like it has a large population.

I don’t know if you are right or wrong, but what is known by everyone is that the more people is in a channel the more respawn will be.

More channels = less people in the same channel = slower mob respawn.

But as said, if they even reduced it more is something that I don’t know.

exactly, this is true

andddd this became off topic because of some AFK rant of a player lol and please don’t troll necromancer c1 and you get 800k in 5hrs? that’s an OP shogoth you got there @lfbranco

#9

maybe it was more than 5 hours :grin:
I wasn’t aware about the variable respawn time from mobs.
More channels is good to avoid bots but at the same time, you get more bots.
I can report easy 20 bots/day (gold sellers and farming bots) playing 2 hours on low/mid lv maps.

#10

I think those bot programs can auto change channel
The only thing you will get is more bots…

And now this thread is about avoiding bots and bits theirselves.
It’s a shame that we have to look for alternatives because bots rules the whole channel and nobody will do anything =.=

#12

They need bots so whiteknights can claim that the game is reviving and players coming back.

#13

In IMC vision is more bots = new players.
The bots and gold sellers need to buy token to trade the silver farmed

This is exactly the time I came back from my hiatus. Halloween event. I love exp event/ growth. I am only leaning on this event to die and get rooster headgear. The only thing im leaning on in this trainwreck on this event is that I have a 3rd chance on my cookies(2nd chance was a week of extension).

I already got 3 toons as a practo hunter now and I got 6 more rank 7 to grind all the way. Once IMC stops giving those kind of growth events then ill be on hiatus again.

#15

You’re vastly more hardcore than I am haha

#16

How about that one ? The problem lies with IMC cause they dont put countermeasures into action. Is it really so hard to mass-ban bots?

huehue

#17

As a masochist, I’m not “coping”, I’m genuinely enjoying the event.

#19

It’s been going up because of last 3 events. It’s going to go back down soon.

It will be crashing and burning very soon, the majority of the new players the last uptick represent have been greeted with server crashes and raging bugs every other 3 days since they came, the last month overall has been 1 of the most broken by far in the life of ITOS since going live back in April and that is certainly saying something considering the level of broken we are used to on a daily basis with IMC.

I can’t even make full use of Fortune Cookies and EXP tomes because the population is too low and makes them tick down to 0 during my long wait for mission/dungeon queues…
