Mercenary Level Up Issue..!!

[[GM]Blade]

3)ok tell me how u wud get ele stones for a rb12 char?

8) we leveled in pk...why should newcomers be spared? call me sadistic call me greedy...i dont want others to have the advantages and get the easy way out when i wasnt offered the same thing

10) show me how many cloro bosses u can kill without a merc. or how u wud kill a ranias without a merc. show me and ill accept how MERCS wont be the leader in that aspect...

GOD bosses are a dream...even after askin the GMs for tips...i haven't got any productive answers...GOD bosses are just for showoff...to show that even mania has god bosses to offer...

AND LOL!!! since the day 562 has been released...i've been screaming my arse off in forums abt uni armour drops.

Warrior said he himself tested it till the uni armour dropped. so definitely 4 months of hunting in sidhe and higher maps dint give us the drops warrior got in 1 day of testing right?

why make promises when u cant keep them..THE SOLE REASON I LIKED 562 was for removal of auto pot and UNIQUE ARMOUR ITEMS!!

and rb13...thats like a lightyear away lol!!

and btw...give us a deadline of when u wud do the merc reset thing GMs...cos we cant run around with naked mercs all day...and please give us a headstart of 48 hours at least before u do it...so that we can tell those who arent aware of the problem...

- About the Ele stones, What would you have done if they never existed in the NPCs? You are just saying that because it existed once upon a time and now it is removed. We have a reason for why we have removed. Its because we have added the Premium Items and the NPC will not Support anymore Items. We have tried removing the G1 to G8 Kits, but that is not working out.

- Player Killing is manually disabled in Grnita Park because of Server Load. Grnita Park is a the Biggest Map in whole of A3 and it has got the maximum number of creeps and maximum player load, Hence to enhance Playerkilling experience we are disabling PK in GP so that you can go Playerkill in other maps. If you face the consequences and die as a result of that, you will blame us for it.

- As Warrior quoted, Merc is just for Secondary Killing. Not a Primary one. I find no Point of not being able to Boss at Clororence without a Mercenary. Let me play your character. I will kill as many bosses as I can without using a Mercenary. The credit goes to the New Options on the Redyan Necklace which can regenerate enough HP to keep you lasting. Its just a little advantage that you are able to get because of the mercenary. And as I have justified the Merc changing reasons in my above post, I wouldn't repeat it again.

- God Bosses need Tactics. Its not a Freekill that you just want to kill with some mean odd party. That is the reason we never took any Event for God Boss Killing.

- I have personally tested the Unique Set Drop Rate. Its fine totally. We are also planning to add a Crafting Combination for getting Unique Sets. It will be released with a New Client Patch within few days. Note that the drop rate of the Unique Items is never 100%. So don't blame us for your Bad Luck.

RB 13 Still needs planning. We are trying to make something Gamebased rather than Taking RB from the Site. That is the reason we have not added any RB so far. Adding a RB is simple work if you ask. Just make some quests and add it to the ACP, which is not what we wanted to do.

Merc RB is still being looked into. We are finding better ways that we can do the Reset without causing problems. We don't want to hurry over it. It will be done within 1 to 2 days at max.

i jus wanna corect u dat topas,ruby,and saphire nt droped by monsters u hav 2 do q for dem .
And by da way tel me any q wch cn be taken by A5 char wch gv these things

What would you do in an Official Server? Would you send a Mail to Actoz telling them about it and asking them to add a Quest?

1.its about scam issues(i dont mind item loss but banning scammers is a priority or take some other actions)
2.gms dont even replying ma posts. so i think they are not working up to there mark
so tell me wads wrong in that

about gms, i also think they have done a lot of things to keep mania at its best but i also feel that there are few more thing which would have made it even better.

6. Handing out the Gifts can take a while, but normaly you get it in max 48hours.

1. Scam is totally your problem. However we are trying to return the items to the maximum extent that is possible. There would be some cases in which we are totally helpless. There is nothing that we can do about those.

2. Replying about?

Mania at its Best?? There is a Lot of difference between Best and EASY. Perhaps you have the second thing in mind.

You may be pissed off if you don't have a computer to use, but what if the computer was never invented? Its depends upon how you analyze things. If you put your mind to think upon the changes that we have made, you will never debate about it.

nyc reply blade, n i agree wid u on d cloro bossing thing, i cn clear all d maps of cloro in 1 go widout using heal or potting e1 1ce, no mana or hp needed n tht too wid my rb9 hk, rn is more den enuf,

[maximus]

lol like we said in another topic....ask the GMs to put them for 1 mill each ele stone...we'll buy from NPC..

u think its fun hunting for rubies and shit after struggling to make a rb12 char?

non auras can get by questing...we'll get by buying it for insane prices...whats wrong in that...or implement ele stones drop in maps...instead of OPGs...bloody sucky success rate OPGs have...

and dude...ur hardly active in game...if u lvled with all of Q rb11 aura 5s behind a rb4 110 lvl char n still managed to make it rb11 aura 5 u'd understand how difficult it was...

when m devoting so much to a game...i expect stuff to be unbiased...even i've got a rb12 aura 1 cahr and m lvling it afk in gp...if i was so selfish...i wudnt have asked for it...cos it wud make my hk lvling a lot easier...

and yes...no offence but...sitting in the forum doesnt give u the clear picture...try being active in game u'll understand the problems...

what ur doing sounds like some rich politician saying...ah yes i understand ur problems but i dont think they're that relevant...step down and look into the scenario...

~Cheerz!!

- Every Guy over here Debating on this issue has some Personal reason for it..

- i completely disagree to the point u piked up bout sittin in the forums doesnt giv u a clear picture...coz according to that..Warrior doesnt deserve to be a GM .. !

It is not necessary that we need to play the server in order to xpress our views bout it.. !
We ca stay out n say wat we need to as well...

All of u are just Flaming Zora coz he is giving his opinion n unfortunately for him his opinions are against urs n go wid the Opinion of the Guides... !

I do not hav to Support Ne1 on the Issue... Coz i already stated earlier - try living with the change instead of opposing it... !

m just tellin u wat i feel is not correct in the post u made according to me.. !

1.yeah i know scamming is our problem. but its been increasing day by day so we can expect some actions against it.

2. reply to ma post. i m still waiting for that. post name is 'Ticket id 1736' in the section 'In-game issues / Questions to the GMs'

mania @ best or easy. dude just by giving ruby, topaz, saphire on npc would make it soo easy to play mania?

btw if u see ma previous post clearly i addressed it to Zorathus.i never said negative anything so far about the new implementations done by u guys and the only point i m raising is the above 2.

[Zorathus]

1.its about scam issues(i dont mind item loss but banning scammers is a priority or take some other actions)
2.gms dont even replying ma posts. so i think they are not working up to there mark
so tell me wads wrong in that

6. Handing out the Gifts can take a while, but normaly you get it in max 48hours.

About scams people here shud be thankful to GM that they have managed to get the scammed stuff which shud'nt hav been done.Just tell me what causes scamming.Is it a kind of bug you use to obtain any stuff.No it aint.Your char is ur responsibility and it is ur duty to look after it.

About GMs reply i only have to say that if you people show some politeness u'll see the difference in GMs attitude.I dont have much to say in this regard since we have an option of TICKETING which must be utilized sincerely.

Regarding the e-shop items we all know it is under Scar and even he has a lyf to deal with so we shud also think abt the Gms not assuming them as BOts or paid employees who will be ready to serve u 24/7.

and dude...ur hardly active in game...if u lvled with all of Q rb11 aura 5s behind a rb4 110 lvl char n still managed to make it rb11 aura 5 u'd understand how difficult it was...

and yes...no offence but...sitting in the forum doesnt give u the clear picture...try being active in game u'll understand the problems...

There are some personel reasons for which i cannot come online.Keeping it aside i do lvl by myself doing quests.And i do know what it takes to choose the questing path.But bro u aint understanding that its a game and evry element of it shud be enjoyed.OK assume we all have easy lvling + high drop rate of evrything.What will it lead to ? Its so obvious in no tym all will be at max level and leave the game resulting from having nothing to do in-game.

What we are discussing or rather debating about does not need me to be online.I do know what the game is and how it is moving.Its just that few people here have some personel losses from reducing the current strength of mercenaries.Sitting here in forums i can very well understand its impact.

RB 13 Still needs planning. We are trying to make something Gamebased rather than Taking RB from the Site. That is the reason we have not added any RB so far. Adding a RB is simple work if you ask. Just make some quests and add it to the ACP, which is not what we wanted to do.

Look at this innovative part.Isnt this a gud idea.Does this not make u realize why no further rb's are being released.



Its in human nature that we dont want changes coz we are not gud at predicting its consequencies.If RN was taken from u it was also taken from others.If ur merc is reset so will be others.Im not against anyone.But just think abt the game.What elements will make it more interesting ?
I am not blindly supporting the GMs.I am just saying that you all are not thinking abt the GAME.You all are thinking about ur Char STATUS.If your gameplay is gud u can deal with all the changes and you shud do that.

Rather than experimenting you people blame for changes.

[neogenx]

GM BLADE wt is da use of premium items whn we cant buy them

[deadraizer]

umm ya neogen agree to u on tht

yeah i am saying this again that scams are not gms prob. but we can expect some actions against the scamers which might help to reduce the no of scamers.

showing some politeness, if u see all ma previous posts this is the 1st time i am in a heated discussion like this.and the the post i was talking about which they still dint reply is older then this one + its regarding a support ticket only.

and generating items in game by gms is hardly a time consuming work. they have mentioned that they will deliver the items in 48 hours. even if they take some time for verification(which is the only time consuming part) still most of the times people have to wait sometime more then a weeks for that.

[brisingr90]

You have got problems from the neu implementations right from the beginning of dese introductions.I dont support any of you neither i take the GMs side.All you are complaining about is because somehow you had a personel benefit from it.

LMAO !! Who are you ? Are you crazy ? Everyone here will obviously reply for their benefit stupid ! What else do you expect from players ?
Should we say "Yes GMs Its ok that you do not return our items if they are lost because it will put a load on you.. It dosent matter that our Hard Earned money goes waste ... You dont worry about some item codes that can give us back our items as it will put work load on you guys.. I will buy another one from E-shop item and then you put the code to spawn the same new item... More over Dont worry about the time that we spend on mania as we dont have our personal lives as you guys do .. So make mania as difficult as you can and make it such that we cannot afford to look up from our screens because our health and time is of no importance .. We will manage everything for you guys as you guys have a personal life na.. We have got only a3mania lives and we dont have any other thing to do all day
So make it easy for yourself and tough for us"
And I request again that you please Return my E-shop RN as I had worked Hard for Earning Rs.2k as my parents refused to give me money to waste on a game [I had to work for 13 days to collect Rs.2k]
GMs please !!

[mchaudh]

Constantine, thats kinda what I said also, they only made life of players harder under the false pretension that they are balancing the game. Only good step taken was to remove PK in GP. Other things may be are out of there control, like setting NPC, may be they borrowed the code and can only modify it to certain extent or may be they tried n failed, whateva it is, they definately expect us to play mania 24/7 from the sound of it. Collect SS, hunt for Uniques, Kill God bosses with hardcore parties, it all sounds very energizing but when it comes to it, this requires not hours but days,weeks and months to accomplish. I remember it took GM-warrior over an hour to kill EarthShaker when there was 10 of us watchin and helping, and I was there, and I could tell he was not so impressed with himself, no wonder you guys dropped those God-bosses event, they take you over an hour, we can only imagine, how much time it will take us to kill em, if at all..then you made a failed attempt at killing next God-boss which never died, you were at it for hours, both GM-Scar and Warrior, and there must have been more players there then ever seen on those maps. Moreover, its not like we dont loose SS and we can make a serious attempt, you really think its that simple, why dont you show it to us.

How long has server been open since last update? And how many players have been hunting for uniques(I know I have been), for hours without any luck. How many hours am I expected to play mania in order to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks?

I am not against change, but see it like this, you work to build a character over time, there are so many aspects to it, takes you over 6 months, now if GMs were to change something in the game itself, say decrease dmg of players, or increase dmg of bosses, that's a change, which doesn't make my hard work go waste, it only presents a greater challenge. If you suggest changes, there has been many which made sense, like changing renias dmg, making it harder but not impossible to kill, but Merc requirement was still a must, since Renias gets a one-hit kill. Infact, now renias spawn has also been altered from every 4 hrs to 12hrs, the only group event which called for players to come and enjoy together, just twice a day, and only selected # of players actually attempt it. How is that improving gameplay? by making it more boring?

Regarding the changes in PvP, first of all I dont blame u guys for it, I understand you mentioned before, that it cant be done, since this new version, the way it was released by Actoz, prevented the previous RN from behaving the way it did. Although I disagree that the new RN is in anyway comparable to the old one. This change directly affects players. When I first joined this server, I carefully checked the eshop catalog, to make a strong build, I spent my money accordingly, but in the end, everything got changed, were we fairly compensated, not even close. Now if I have to come to play this game, I have to think twice before Pvping, and before I do it, I have to spend 20-30 mins collecting SS in Sidhe, which depends on getting a HK, next thing I know, I exit the game, cuz there are so many useless parameters to consider, for every little thing, and no I don't want to go out and pvp with a full cash based set, which lost its insurance after GMs started "we dont care" policy.

I know a lot of players genuinly lost there items, I beleive GMs persecuted players responsible, but had anything changed, people are still loosing items, which means, this "We dont care" change hasnt really been as efficient. For eg. my archer Eros spent months to collect items, now some guy decided to install a background program to copy pwds that are typed on machines, he then went on emptying the storage, taking 24bilwz, W's, both weapons lvl15, and tons of other boxes full of 100 items each, just to get my eshop items, I had to nag GMs, after everything was paid for,it took them a month to deliver it. This is only my own experience, I know some players, who play with all honesty and donate to run server, and arent getting much help. You are saying we are responsible for ur own characters, if you really for a change, cant u make changes, that actually support the Indian demographics, where not everyone owns a personal computer, and ppl go to friends/cafes just to access machines, and some live in the same city, what do you make of all this? You choose to help, or stand on the side and watch these people loose there hard earned money, they got more important things to worry in life, now only thing they come back to is play and have a good time, and you only offer them more aggravation "we dont care" policy is complete bullshit (excuse my french).

[neogenx]

i dnt mind if u guys dnt keep does gems bak in npc but at least enable does premium items and tel players how 2 get does rubles

[bugaboo]

XP from Quests will be restricted for merc too like XP from Creeps. Mercenaries are supposed to be for support not for primary hunting and killings. And moreover the merc data is more or less corrupt. We had to remove all data anyhow.

And for the people who are showing and counting what we removed and implemented. If you have issues with the server config, changes and implementation.... you know what will our answer be.

arr gms y u reducing normal exp for mercs ?? 10 exp rofl man like that for getting merc to lvl 10 we need atleast 10 mins huh!!

u will ristrict the exp from Quests its kk but dnt redue\ce nrmal exp man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[Zorathus]

@ Br......what a pathetic answer u hav to my questions.Why dont u consider other players.Are GMs meant to serve u alone.Moreover you have no judicial rights to claim ur lost items since you have agreed to the terms of A3~Mania.Tell me one instance where u have agreed on any change.
You have cried for RN more than anyone ever had cried before.If u loved it so much how did u loose it.Now dont give an xplanation that it wasnt ur fault and so on.Stop showing yourself STUPID and learn to accept ur mistake.I do understand what hard earned cash means.But you need to understand some terms which ur denying right from the beginning.

@mchaudh......I did lyk his way of expressing his views.He is not rude in his statement.He is rather suggesting and not demanding.This is what GMs expect as FEEDBACK.Obviously anyone will hate those GIVE ME MY STUFF BACK thing.

[mchaudh]

May I ask ,How exactly are GMs involved with players on this server? This is as far as I know.

Things GMs are expected to perform if they want to continue to keep the server in good condition, this must be true for majority of game servers out there.

- They run the server: Like any other endeavor its totally something they decide to do.
-They deliver eshop items that are paid for by players. It requires GMs to code the items and deliver it within a week, at there convenience, assuming they are doing other things in life, and Scar has limited time.
-Running events: I haven't heard a of lot of these happening lately.
-They work on server to make it better, which means, offer updates, fix issues, game balancing, coding and other technical aspects of it: Very much expected, for the server to operate.
-Ban hackers, and fix bugs that can be exploited. If not done, server will be in chaos.

If you notice, most of issues are server problems, they NEED to be taken care of, or they will pile up and become huge.

Things GMs do for players, the general masses that play the game and support server financially.

-Handle abuses, cursing, to keep the server clean and insult free. Like the time they increased the shout cost to 1 mil from 100k. A good change.

Can you guys tell me a few more, things that GMs do for players, and don't reiterate or reword the ones that are already up there.
