Older Content update

I think with some older content some things need to be updated. Some of these have come up before, but I truly think they are worth doing.

1) remove the 24 hour limit on HoS/ZS/DL... I mean it is has been long enough. The whole saving of "dungeon progress" to come back at a later time is no longer needed.
2) Ant Queen, The fact she is farmed is laughable, make it an instance, once every 24 hours
3) Cactus quests- LOL something needs to be done here, it is just ridiculous. Not sure on an idea with it though. Maybe a special mob drop that you hand to an NPC to spawn the Cactus that you want? Not to mention.. credit for the whole party?
4) Varanas nightmare. 3 times a day with it camped by guilds that then sell UD pieces for 90-150 million? Like ant Queen, 24 hour timer, make it like other instances. Make it like HoS/ZS/DL are now. Once per char per day. Pretty bad you cant even think about doing the quests.
5) Old versions of world bosses. I get the fact the 75 world bosses drop poms so they are ok on 8 hour timer. Again maybe an NPC you hand an item to, to spawn the lower boss. Maybe make it kind of a rare drop, so some work has to be put in.

These are things that I think help players at the beginning of their time in this game... ok maybe not Varanas nightmare.... But finding out that there are bosses for quests and dungs with good gear with limitations and that are camped by higher players? I mean I would NEVER just kill the ant Queen every day... for whatever the reason people do it for, but they do. And the cactus drops... one piece... yea real good to have people fight over who gets it. I know it is a wing and a prayer to have this updated.

I mean tempest heights has been busted a while and druid/wdn buff still hasn't been fixed, but still I think some of this old content needs an update. Which I have to start to wonder if these two things were done on purpose. I mean no free stuff from Tempest height, to hope that we spend money. It seems like some of the most fun stuff to do in game you cant even do. Cant farm HoS/ZS/DL, cant do tempest heights for some fun, cant ... cant ... cant...


I used to love this game and always find something to do in it, now even with all our massive alts, with all the stuff breaking, not working, lagging, it is really starting to wear on ones resolve to play. Soon we will have to take a break from it.. again.

I like and agree with the points made in this thread, except for the tempest heights part. On Reni we can run TH twice a day and it works perfectly. I get free transport runes, mailboxes, keys, illusory hair chests, crafting mats, etc. Not sure what you aren't getting, but it works for us. Other than that, everything else you have here I second.

on artemis, you run in and get kicked out immediately, if you manage to stay in there and not get booted, none of the mobs spawn... sigh :\

personally teh world bosses who drop Proofs of myths. I think it ought to be the lower level ones that spawn upon server reset ... just for the purpose of people who need the quests done.. course they will still be farmed immediately and easily just so you can get to the proof dropping version on most servers. Still there are many world bosses at least on Palenque who never die and so we only see the level 75 proof dropping versions on a permanent basis.


As to ant queen and the cactus.... They drop monster cards and are easy to kill. Of course they are camped.

One possibility is to make Ant Queen & Cactus scale to the highest level in the party w/ a minimum lvl of 50 as well as make them 1-a-day instances like HoS/ZS/DL are currently.

Having said that, HoS/ZS/DL should definitely be removed from the 1-a-day list. GF keeps saying it's part of the storyline, but I'm pretty sure it's just laziness since GF got the game in this state from Froggie. I also understand that these instances are the only way to get the "good" ISS's since the lvl 55's are some of the best but we're lvl 82 and getting ready for 85? So c'mon, shop smart - shop S-Mart and remove these instances from the 1-a-day list.

Last bosses should all have a chance to drop 1 PoM. Easy mode = 1%, Normal mode = 5% and hard mode should allow PoMs to drop 5% on all the bosses w/ the last boss dropping 1-3 PoMs 20% of the time.

Now, on to mems... We have the current mem limit because of the Dalanis events and how easy it was to get them :) Remove the mem limit.

After removing the limit, zones with Easy, Normal and Hard Mode should have Black Codex vendors that sell 3 levels of stats.

1. Easy Mode gear available for everyone at the current rates
2. Normal Mode gear available after clearing Normal mode in the zone at 2x rates
3. Hard Mode gear available after clearing Hard mode in the zone at 5x rates -- HM gear will have a 2% chance of coming with an orange stat

eg.. easy gear = 1k mems w/ easy mode stats, normal gear = 2k mems w/ normal mode stats & hm gear = 5k mems w/ hm stats w/ 2% chance of orange stat.

Something like this could bring back mem farming.

EoJ's should follow something similar.

While there at it maybe they can drop the bindings of gear dropped at level 55 and fix the lower level plussing jewels to work on gear through level 60..

A Level 85 Ant queen as an instance based world boss ? .. maybe give us FA Hard mode too..
