The fact that within every different post that is made about the shard, 1 new guy that quit 5 months ago appears and says the shard is too hard... so... apperantly... im getting it from the people that quit because they want these things....

Alright, that's perfectly fair.

So let's get to the meat and potatoes:

How would having res anhks readily available make things any easier? you die, you get a res and you're at low health and then you're stuck with little to no equipment and you have to run around a dungeon buck-naked only to be killed again by an explosion spell or some such.

It's a flawed idea, it's in the right direction but it still doesn't solve anything.

To expand on the res tickets, make it res/recall tickets, you die and you go to the healer, you get fully healed and sent to the pits so you can get back to town and a bank.

The idea Scarecrow is not to take every risk and threat out of hunting, it's to ease people into thinking or actually making it so that hunting is either worthwhile, enjoyable and able to repeat.

Right now none of those things are there, you don't get much value from hunting, and since you don't get a good return off of your time spent it isn't enjoyable and it's not repeatable because people keep dying and leaving.

However simply removing any consequence will cause the same problem, we need to find a comprimise.

Ye, i agree, we can't take out all of the "difficulty" in hunting but, adding a ankh can solve issues, if you look at it in the way that i do, in our Xyo shard, we had it this way and hunting was great, when we would die, we would use skills such as Hiding and Stealth to get to our bodies and loot them back while the MOB of monsters were around us. Hunting can not only be solo but if you bring partners and hunt with them, were is the problem with having ankhs outside and pits runes? I don't agree with healers giving you back all your HP and Mana in a dungeon, that is ridiculous, hunting should require skill as PVP does, a good hunter knows how to stay alive, as does a good pvper. But... then again, our dungeons should have ways to get your body back in case you cannot succeed but with challenges along the way, it should be far from impossible but not easy.

Plain n simple ladies n gents. Everyones leaving because the shards too hard... theres nothing else we can say.. make it easier right? so.. add ressurrection ankhs or healers in the dungeons and add pits runes outside the dungeons to make that easier. End of story, that's what needs to be done.

Woah. Slow down and quit being so helpful and suggesting all these great things!!

See what I mean about you being a douchebag and contradicting what you say?

I like the res ticket idea.

I haven't been hunting in ages. What are the loots like? On dragons? Anyone? Scare? Someone should just post the loots to what monsters that actually matter and are worth hunting. Maybe they can be tweaked and manipulated for good.

In that instance the idea we had originally of pits runes only useable by dead players would come into play, this idea was liked by both staff and players and i think would be a good idea. They would also be placed in an area where your couldnt be res killed by monsters.

This is the idea I like most. It's like res/recall tickets, but without so much scripting time. It's simple, without bugs, and is for free.

[imported_Slaquer]

/bumping good idea

[imported_Sindern]

the pit runes idea isn't terrible, but what about people who are on the lowest level of the dungeon? Are they going to have to run (on foot) all the way to the bottom of the dungeon with nothing but their newbied items and a few bandages from a cut res robe?

Im a douchebag? why? Smurtle? You still mad about me killing you everyday while you were trying to hunt or gank? You hold a grudge that long over a video game? Are you that manically depressed? It's ok man, keep hating.. I love it, makes me feel like i did my job as a PK on the shard. Have a nice day baddie.

[imported_Smurtle]

What are you talking about? I've actually never seen you in game aside from you being in the pits praying someone hosts a tourney to fill the void in your life.

Are you honestly that ****ing stupid????? But yes, you are a douchebag. I mean, you're so easily provoked to contradict yourself how could you not be?

[Eighty Swords]

the idea is a good one, but needs a bit of work.

suggestion: you go to the res healer, he brings you to life, and you aren't charged YET. you are only charged if you make it back to your body and open it.

this way if you die before you get there due to all the monsters between the res healer and your body, then you dont lose your money.

an alternative is to simply bring back pits runes outside dungeos for dead and alive players. what's being suggested in minax's alternative idea post isnt that from from pits runes.

let me exlpain: if a healer brings you back to life with full health, some pots and aids, you get a chance to wait a few minutes before going back to your body and heal up. you also get a chacne to get back to your body and get your items.

with pits runes, you have to get all the way back to the entrance of the dungeon (which can be pretty far for some dungeons) while getting attacked by monsters. if you make it out, you end up in pits and heal up. then head back out.

i think pits runes outside dungeons should be given a chance. as it was with pits on a whole, many people were 'scarred' of it and thought it was this crazy idea that would totally kill any feel to a shard as you're used to it. but now that people gave it a chance, some people love it now, and some tolerate it. maybe pits runes outside dungeons wont be as bad as what people who were orignally totally against pits thought.

sorry if that got off topic, its just where it ended up going.

[imported_Slaquer]

I like eighty's suggestion about the not charging until you reach your body, seems like a good way to balance it out. On pit runes I still do not agree with putting them inside dungeons, being able to res would be nice though.

[imported_Silverwolf]

Wait Slaquer arent you not hosting anything anymore? Are you busy irl or something? Because you were an admin and you must have enough experience so why dont you help out the staff team and maybe be staff? I don't know why they wouldn't ask you, I mean it only seems dumb not too.

[imported_Smurtle]

I think we all know why they won't ask him. ;/
