I don't willingly limit myself. I run in groups when I can. Guildies are happy to help. I have schedule issues that cause conflict. In addition to my main character, I have 10 other toons that have finished Crossing the Mountain Pass. I would like to level them up too, but it would be selfish of me to ask the guild to spend enough time every day for me to accomplish that.

My C/R is level 18 and can tank it, but I don't get enough damage to take him down. I can run my M/WL on a macro to debuff. I am currently building gear for a W/R and R/M that can also run on macros or DIYCE, but they aren't ready. There are a number of reasons why it would be good for GF to have an event similar to last year's summer event. Okay, not nearly as long. That was crazy, but still, something to help. Right now I can grind 8 million XP in TOS in less time than it takes to collect 1,000 coins of petal.

I can take healers any time. They can help the group. I can tank NP easy anytime a healer and a couple DPS want to go.

I also have a ton of other things in the game that we are "supposed to" do every day. Goblin mines, training range, Mirror worlds, and event things to get the mats for zodiac pets. Guildies want Kibentsy's blades and Dragon kings. I have a real world profession other interests besides hanging out in Taborea.

I just took a minute to look at the "updated" currency tab. Descritions for Stardust and Peak fragments have not changed since they were first added. That was a long, long, very long time ago.

To understand the reason for my OP, you must first accept that I am not you, and I have reasons for thinking that GF should give an opportunity for weaker characters the opportunity to earn some 10,000,000 PXP orbs. Having said all that- you be you and I will be me.

This is why you can´t expect being abled to do everything on your own too.

I don't expect to be able to do everything on my own, but lower level and newer, less well-equipped players should have an opportunity to earn PXP orbs on their own as well. Clearly not as many or as easily as endgamers, but something.

The last thing I am going to say in this thread is that I don't understand why you people have to so harshly criticize a simple suggestion. I'm not opening this thread again, so you jerks go ahead and respond all you want. I won't see it anyway.

Quote from storch-e

But this is what you don´t understand. There is a lot you can do in this game on your one. But as it was done to play togehter. This is why you can´t expect being abled to do everything on your own too. Especially Endgame Content isn´t ecassible this way. I try to understand your situation but all they are trying to do is an event, that is usefull to the majority which always means there is a minority who wont like it. This is what life is like.

If you have nothing new to add to the conversation, why don't you just stay out of it?

Running Pantheon easy with low peak is possible too. This way everyone can get Coin of Ice.

For me, that's in party only. I work overnights when everyone else is on and I am off when only a few are available. Again, I have stated this in the past, but here goes- Yeah- I get that it's an MMO, but I still want to be able to do this on my own.

Quote from dray_on_forum

fragments are here for future swaping for Stardust not for lvling peak,

What? What do you know about stardust that absolutely no one else on the planet except maybe two Koreans at Runewaker do? And yes, Fragments can be turned in for 1,650million PXP per day.

Coin of Petals in this event will only get peak FRAGMENTS, not peak orbs. Toons that can't run Pantheon bosses are relegated to killing one THOUSAND mobs to gain 4,950,000 peak points per day. Wonderful. Just super duper wonderful.

So you prefer ppl to be lied if you have proffit of that?

I don't have profit from ROM. I am just a player like yourself. I spend a few dollars on diamonds and get nothing but the joy of my ROM addiction in return. My problem with your OP is that new players or people considering the game will see this and steer away from a great game.

Wow!!! What a great way to promote a positive image of ROM (not)!!!

I am considering building a set of pvp honor gear for a wl/c. It would be siege only. I am looking for opinions/suggestions on how to stat it. I know there wil be differing ideas, but let's not get into heated debates. Please just give your opinions and also why you would go that way.

The stones on sale now that go instantly to 20 do not fail. They are guaranteed +20. The cost is high, but typically not as high as stones that drop almost as often as they rise.

y...and remove server transfer stone....that is useless now and may be confusing for new and returning players

Not useless in Europe.

I have the impression that if RW went belly up, GF would NOT be interested in hiring their own development team. Sad but true.

Sorry, Tan. I feel your frustration and I am right there with you. Unfortunately the company that runs the game is not the same company that writes the code. I had hopes that somewhere in the last year the relationship between GF and RW would either improve or change completely. Gameforge GMs have expressed their frustration even as we have. They have to be a little careful in how they word it, being official representatives of GF and all, but they feel our pain as well.

Runewaker has decided to build a bunch of server-based games they can operate on their own, and their interest in this award-winning MMO has for some reason waned. Their reputation as game creators diminishes with every day they let us down, but they don't care. Maybe they were disappointed at the performance of Dragon's Prophet, their other client-based MMO, which failed miserably, and that left them with an unpleasant taste in their mouth. I don't know, but that's really about the time they started making less and less effort to keep ROM alive.

Each account has its own web page. I suspect that you can do so from there if you are logged in to it, but not from the Gameforge launcher.

Light Energy Weapon is a 15 minute buff, not an attack It increases. It gives the white damage greater value. War Prayer does add a layer of holy seal every 3 seconds for 18 seconds, but it is an attack skill, not a buff.

Every new festival, the announcement tells us what the events are, but never what the rewards are. THe few times I have participated, I got nothing useful. I give up before I get any zodiac items, or for that matter, anything else I actually find useful. I'm not saying they are useless to everyone, only that they are things I have no interest in acquiring.

Now there is some kind of "speech" reward and a new currency. I don't understand the usefulness of either of them. Can you try going just that one extra step for once, so I know where I want to invest my time? Otherwise, I will continue to find all of these events uneventful.

They had a POM event in HotO several years ago. I always ran it in the middle of the night, because it was always jammed. Every party that goes in triggers a separate channel. There is a limit to how many of these channels the server can support.

Quote from Bakken

we barely get any basic bug fixes there's no shot of this happening.

And Runewaker is tired of programming for us, even though they are under contract and getting paid.

Jak- yes. I play on Ayvenas. My primary is Grrummpy, but I am content to gear up it at my own pace. Thanks for the offer, though.

Once again, I am going to remind everyone that this original post was intended to give feedback to Gameforge, not to start a discussion. Maybe one of the GMs can close the thread. It has long since outworn its intended purpose.

Quote from Warrior

it was never my intention to offend anyone, was only giving few insights people maybe wouldnt think about straight away.

Of course I think about it. Eventually, I will be able to solo first boss. That's why I started leveling my c/r. It can quest easier and farm easier than my other toons. I just don't have him geared all the way yet.

I farm anywhere between 41 and 49. The pieces of all levels drop at any instance level in that range. As far as having an advantage, others can also farm it any time they want to put in the hundreds of runs it take to get it.

There are also 2 NPCs in Lyk that will trade drops for level 50 gear that looks even better than the Gobs gear. If you start collecting at level 50, you might have a full set by 75 or 80.

Jak- thanks for the voice of reason. Bak- I am adding Enigma runes right now. I buy a few diamonds when they are on sale, and then buy runes or other things when those are on sale, too. Like Jak, I am getting there. My biggest issue with how this thread has gone is that it was posted under "Feedback and Suggestions", not "General Discussion". It was meant for the GMs and CMs to see so they would have an idea of where some of us are at so they can plan events for the rest of us.

If you scroll up, you will see the first responder told me I am playing the game wrong, and then everyone until Jak kept piling on about what I should be doing and how.
