Runes of Magic US / AU

Quoted from "CammoXD"

They definitely need to change normal mode to drop alright stuff, help out those that can't/not interested in the 'bleeding edge' end-game....just not as good as HM of course. As for less strat intensive...the only strat that was even vaguely difficult was Annelia, since then strats have all been 'meh'.

Oh, and piss off this whole Int/Ma and stam/def ONLY from easy mode, god thats annoying.

Amen. They can drop in easy, but having them drop in easy only is the most absurd thing on earth.

Yeah, and the all the frankenstein stats like Strength/matk in normal mode... or those Str/Wis... How often they drop is just stupid... I can understand if they drop in easy, but normal? Come on...

Mixed feelings about Stam/HP dropping more often then crap stats and good stats combined. Well, at least its not a crap stat...

I think we can all agree that ridiculous stats need to be removed. Farming mems forever for ONE pull just to get Dex/MP ... is worthless. That is the same idea I am saying with gear. 7123120398123098 pulls from mems for one good stat is the same as having to fully gear/stat/plus/etc just to get one piece of gear to use. It is not that people want to get up to... how did you put it? "What do you need hardmode gear for if all you want it for is to stand around in Varanas doing minigames? "

Lets please leave attacks out because others opinions are different from yours. I have kept all my posts civil, I would ask you to do the same.

You made sure to hit points... that you, yourself have problems with people turning around on you.


You said: "If you want to stroke your epeen, overcome the challenge. That or pay out the arse for it. " This is ok and condoned by you.

Yet when people tell you: "if you wanna have all the plussed gear and stuff, then open your wallet" you have a conniption fit


Do you see the hypocrisy? This is the reason I think that GF need to exclude opinions from people that have your mentality. It is ok to say it to someone else, but when it is turned around on you... OHHH HECK NO!!!

Now that I have finished proving how you and people like you will use points to your favor and then when someone uses them against you... it is a horrible and unfair and wrong approach.... ill move on.

Just like how stats shouldn't take 12038120398 pulls for one good one. You shouldn't have to spend 800 hours to learn an instance for one base piece of gear. This rerun, monotony ruins games. Yes some work should be there, but not so much that you get frustrated and quit. Or do you think that people should keep putting the same effort and time into a game that is 4 years old? I mean you wont even open your wallet anymore, but you expect others to wanna put their life on hold just to enjoy the in game content? You don't spend hours upon hours in the game... heck do you even play anymore? Yet people should be willing to spend hours on hours and hours perfecting a strat... yet you wont spend a dime on the game anymore.... Not fair to take that opinion.

That is why I said, let people buy 105 dura gear for diamonds direct from GF. .... Like people have said, people wanna gear up and jump to the newest stuff to avoid regearing.... well then let them. We just identified one problem with the game, so lets fix it. Lets let new players get the gear for diamonds to jump in and participate on the next level of gaming ASAP. .....


Or again is your own agenda of having a monopoly on gear more important than letting people catch up quickly to help the community? I mean, more people able to get end game ready fast.... wouldn't that make the game better? More players? if you could get 8 pieces of OD gear for 2000 diamonds (250 each), and buy stats for diamonds... wouldn't we have more people able to drop some money to jump up to be competitive? Or are you worried more about yourself then the community.


I cant state it enough, but for those that have problems reading, ill put it again. ***I****, personally, me myself and I, have found a system and can keep playing the game the way *I* like without any changes.... Unless the game dies and the servers are shut down. I bring up these suggestions for OTHER players, not me. I am NOT personally driven except in the fact I want to see the game continue. I will continue to put the money in... regardless if I think the game is about to fail or not. Why? Cause I wanna see it succeed.

So yeah, if more of the "prominent" players would think of the game.. not themselves... first, then maybe the game could get better. But hey, you only have 400 bucks invested... all us other guys that have more are just suckers and you don't care if your lack of supporting the game causes it to shut down. Cause YOU are free and clear.

I never said instances need to be EASY for the average player, but as it stands now, it is impossible for the average player. Regardless of how the "elitists" look at it.


Edit to add: if you take any of this as a personal attack I am sorry. I just get fed up and tired of a double standard. People say that getting told "if you don't like the price don't buy it", to turn around and say "That or pay out the arse for it. " Same deal Double standards destroy the world and I know there are some who don't analyze their actions/statements to make sure they aren't enacting a double standard. It is one of the things that gets me fired up more than anything. Stop pushing agendas and actually discuss what is better for the game... not yourself. We have enough of that in our daily lives with politicians. Lets actually show we can be more evolved and actually try to get the game better... instead of what is better for our own selves.... Please lets show we are better than the masses.......

I had spent more than I care to admit on AU, so I know where your coming from Dk, but it's not the f2p players etc that are the issue, its solely Gameforge and Gameforge alone (I guess you could add Frogster in too....but they are gone so meh) that make prices and goals so high/difficult to achieve for the majority. The cost of the item shop, especially the majority of 'sales' are what make new players not want to go for 'bleeding edge' and what forces those that are 'bleeding edge' to price things so high. Everything is supply and demand....and unfortunately GF doesn't seem to realise that they have an UNLIMITED supply of IS items, but because of their cost demand is a lot lower than it should be.

Of course I am now f2p, after what Gameforge did to AU im not interested in spending anything on any server owned by them again.

Has Gameforge ever wondered WHY so many people leave? Its simply due to the costs. With all that being said though, I still rather play here(and do).

Easy mode should drop useable stats, agreed. 1 yellow stat, from all yellow stats available

Normal mode should drop useable stats. 1 yellow stat, from the good stats available. (not like dex/mp str/matk..)

Hard mode should drop the same stats as normal, but with chance of orange.

Also, 1 pom for last boss easy, 2 poms last boss normal, 3 poms for last boss hard? I don't know. POMs need to be more accessible, and not something that top edge people can farm while no one else can.

My real (sub) game is patching or I wouldn't have bothered even coming here to read, but he's right. And hi, miss you ridiculously. I spent so many years and so much money on diamonds that it's insane. Playing "that other game" for a while has opened my eyes to just how much we put up with, and just how over-valued it really is. Maybe being forced to take a permanent vacation was the best thing that could happen to my wallet. Now, if only I could import all the people I miss, things would be perfect.

But, well, you can' have everything. And what I do have now is... well, no other way to say it... better and cheaper. RoM still has so much potential that it's sad to watch it struggle as usual, but I am glad some other things are finally looking up. Grats on GM's that actually care, guys!

Well get a job and maybe you will be able to afford playing the game. Calling people name for the demise of your life doesn't make you look any better. You should try to work to get money then you could spend it for something useful, like relationship classes. If we are jerks because we spend money on the game, well sorry, at least we do not come out in world and call other players losers, not worth their time etc like some have done over the last 2 weeks. The frustration of F2W players amazes me everyday, getting mad on players that do spend real money on the game, just LOL

Have a nice day

North- the $400 comment was directed at people like Borella, and some others that said they dropped around $400 or a "couple hundred bucks" on the game at one point a few years ago and feel the shouldn't have to spend any more to stay at the top of the game.

It is not that I think that $400 is too much to spend on the game. I spend a consistent amount every month... just like I would on a sub game. Which you just posted that... it is a mere 2 years of a sub game when these people have been playing for 3+ years on that small amount in the game. Making it less than a P2P game by far. Especially if you don't take into account a lot of those sub games require a 40-60 buck drop at the beginning. $400 is NOTHING in this game, so to think that should float you for 4 years... is ridiculous


However, again I will say continuously using personally attacking comments, ... not to mention you completely missed what my comment was about. Amazing how a certain type of player cant keep out personal attacks.


Edit to add, BB now that is a great idea. Poms more accessible means gear/stats more accessible and 1 for easy last boss I think is fair, along with the others. I think if mem pulls are gonna be so dreadful on stats, the price needs to be reduced or the mems in easy/normal need to be buffed.

I really wish that all classes were more PvE friendly in this game. A P\w, a W\d, Wd\m, and other awkward classes never have a place in runs for Norm\Hard modes. I got to heal Grotto Norm, but as for dps, I'll never be invited, since I'm a lvl85 toon that's capped by lvl50 restrictions and no real burns to do dps or even a good debuff to use to help other dps get more.

They should spend some time figuring out what classes are failing and revamp more of them. Though, I hope they do more then these no button\win at everything classes. Starting to be annoyed by the fact I get outdpsed by someone who can just hit attack on a boss and do more damage then I do spamming the crap out of my buttons.

And no, don't tell me to reroll. People should be able to play the classes they enjoy, AND be viable at endgame. Not just keep making these flavor of the month crap problems persist, then the class gets destroyed and becomes completely unusable.
