Runes of Magic US / AU

Hello all,





I’m a
returning player and I’m putting up this post in hopes that other players that
share the same passion that I do and the Devs will see and take this to heart.
Since I have been back I have seen many things wrong with the game. The main
issue is that no one is doing anything about these issues. The reason I love
this game is there are not many like it and there should be more like it. Runes
of Magic is a very meat and potatoes game and those’ve us that do play love
this aspect. I’ve done the action combat MMORPGs and after doing a dungeon, I’m
left feeling dizzy and not enjoying myself at all. I apologize ahead of time if
this post sounds like a rant. The core purpose of this post is to give my two cents
worth on recommendations and suggestion in hopes that someone will hear and take
to heart.





Graphics and stability issues


As I’ve seen
so far, the game has a lot of stability issues and graphics could be improved a
little. While I play the game, even with graphic turned down, I will crash at
least 3 to 4 times a day and many of the zones and cities are very choppy and
glitchy. So far since I returned to the game I have seen no mention or seen
anything at all about the Devs fixing the issues that are going on. Game takes
a large amount of memory to run. I haven’t seen many games that tax my computer
like Runes of magic does.


Revamp the
combat system just a little. An example would be giving each class a 3-attack
combo system which would be there bread and butter attack to improve flow of
combat. An example is knights would use Holy Strike as their combo starter, next
they use whirlwind shield, then finish with Punishment and on the last strike
you apply a holy seal debuff on target. As you use each part of a combo it will
increase the damage of your next attack. Not much else should be changed
because the combat system is still great, but just rework it just a hair to
improve flow.





Communication


Keeping
players informed or just general communication with player community. I’ve seen
a lot of complaints that no one can get a hold any GMs or anyone from the developers
in general and this is leaving player community feel neglected even though the
player community is where they are getting their money from. Don’t you think
the game would want this communication to keep players playing this game? Or
are they just gearing up to shut the game down? If this is the case then that
is truly sad because this is such a great game, or it was before the issues.


Hacking
issue that happened a few years ago. One thing to say is that this should never
have happened, and this is on the Devs for allowing it to go on for as long as
it did. Not only is this a fault on the Devs but some of the community as well.
If you can’t play the game as intended, then do not play. It’s players like the
ones that were hacking that ruin things for everyone else.





PVP and PVE


Keep pvp and
pve skill separate. What I mean is while you are doing pve your skills react to
reflect pve and then when you enter pvp your skills change to reflect that you
are doing pvp. Would not be a bad idea to add another tab to your skills page
with just pvp skills.


Remove skill
leveling from using white attacks to level skills such as one-handed axe. I
feel this is just an extra layer of complexity that is just not needed.


Remove the
accuracy system from the game or set it to when you fight a monster that is the
same level as you, your accuracy is 100% and if the monster is a few levels above
you, accuracy drops to 80% or so.





Gear


Change gear durability
to 100 flat, remove 20% modifier due to over durability. Reason behind this is
the fact that over durability gear, as far as I’ve seen, is very rare and kind of
unnecessary. Instead implement master repair hammers to increase durability to
200 temporarily and this adds 20% modifier, players stay happy, game developers
keep making producing revenue.





Death penalty


Remove exp\tp
debt and when you die you get a 5 min debuff that will stack depending on how
many times you die. Change phoenix potions to give immunity to death debuff for
1 hour





Plusing jewels


Change plusing
system back to max of +12 on gear and instead of having a different type of
jewel for each piece of equipment, combine them so there is just one kind of plusing
jewel. Change the chance of failure aspect to a 100% guarantee of success. Again,
if there is fear of lost revenue that you increase the price of the jewels to let’s
say 299 diamonds. If it is a guarantee chance of success than players will be
willing to pay in my opinion. The whole idea of having gear go to +30 was not a
smart move and in my opinion, I cannot justify paying the $19.99 amount of diamonds
for a jewel that has a chance to fail. Only one person is coming out on top in
that transaction.





Costumes


Add more
costumes to cash shop. I’ve seen lots of costumes that were in the game but now
are no longer available. Adds a level of character customization.


Make game
more accessible to players that do not have much funding. Decrease cost of phirios
token items so players that are forced to play for free can still enjoy
everything game has to offer.





Optional subscription


For fear of losing
revenue due to changes item shop changes add an optional, and I stress optional,
subscription to the game such as $12.00 that will give players a boost. Make
this subscription worth the players money. The subscription can include something
such as and increase to exp/tp gain from combat and or quests, small discount
from items in item shop, and or another 5 dailies that can be completed each
day. This is just some examples.





Thank you to
those that take the time to read this and if you agree with these suggestions
than spread the thread around in hopes some one will listen.
