ill duel you some later on it's friday hit me up tonight

WOOOOOO FRIDAY NIGHT UO DUELS!!! YEAAAAH

:lol:

[imported_Shifty]

Well....I just dueled Tech 7 times and every single duel was very laggy. Although the stamina fix and making the ring one square bigger helped a bit, it definitely did not fix the major lag problem.

We need a new duel stones arena built. I think making the new arena in the same area as the free auto supplied duels would work nicely. That area seems to have very little lag.

Like I said before, this doesn't have to be a massive arena and it doesn't have to be fancy. People aren't gonna duel because the arena looks pretty. A brand new arena will be enough to draw players to it. All we need is 4 or 5 simple rings. A 1k, 5k, 10k, 20k, and maybe even a 50k stone for the high rollers

Is a new arena currently in progress?

Seeing as MadMan has nothing better to do than insult people he doesn't even know online, I'm sure he will also be on this Friday night. Or maybe not, i dunno? Has he already come back from quitting after I raped him for 740k?

Raped me for 740k? Lol. U got lucky on the high amount duel made a simple mistake... Then later i 7-0d u on 20ks like usual... hauiahiuahaiuhaiuh Its funny how it made u think ur good tho..

when u lose blame it on lag. when u win theres no lag.. just like technique

maybe it's a sign that there is lag? yet again you go spam another suggestion thread, keep it up i'll report you to taran or hate since he told you stop in this very same thread already.

Hey Shifty, try pinging your connection to xs4all at the time when you find it laggy. Maybe your ISP has ups and downs because of more people online at that time (especially true for cable ISPs) or throttles your connection like my ISP does. I think that's one of the few explanations for why one day you're fine and the next you're laggy.

No new arena is in progress since it first appeared as if the "first fix" would be enough, however I will talk to Odium and Ginz about creating a new arena in green acress, with just walls and stones to enter with, simple and fancy. This will not be a permanent solution tho, this is just a test to see if it removes your lag, and IF it does remove your lag then we may have to consider it a permanent solution, but if not then I think the majority of the IN-X players would prefer a "fancy duel stone arena", at least the majority of the part coming from Imagine Nation, and all of the roleplayers.

Perhaps you should make a poll asking players which duel stone arena-type they'd prefer, and perhaps that'll help us decide what to do :]

I'd personally prefer area on the grass with just walls and stones only:/ And would be cool if that area included loot stones, not like now when we have to enter additional gate. In the past to bring ppl there I had to leave mount called "GoLootArea" near the gate to actually make people look if anyone is at loot stones... Also on XUO when loot area was in the middle of duel stones there was a good trick to get tour gear
And yeah, maybe people who came from imagine nation would prefer "cool" and decorated area, but they don't duel anyway... Area should be useful at first point, and people who actually dueling should like it...
Plus I seriously doubt that ex-INers care how area looks like, they don't even enter that gate...

Yes the loot arenas next to the normal ones was a good idea for good players to get tourney gear out of less good players, but it sometimes resulted in the less good players who accidently entered the loot arena instead of a none-loot arena decided to quit after he or she lost his or her gear, and that's why it's not worth risking it. We prefer to have a lot of players at the shard rather than one player and a lot of tourney gears in gang-bangs bank

Anyways I'll talk to them about making a new arena, we'll see what it will look like, but it can always be edited in the future if u have any complains. I think that we're just going to make it simple at first to see if it fixes the lag, then improve it over time, but we'll see :]

You may be right about the former INers not using that area so much, but at the same time last time we tried to do this we had lots of complains even tho they didn't really use it that much, and if we are going to send emails out and most likely get them back soon once again we need to think about that they should still be able to like it when they get back.

Oh cmon you know better than anyone else that noone entered the arenas accidently They did it on purpose^^ Wanted to refill their mana, but weren't fast enought to leave. Everyone knew it was a risk
Anyways, my main point was that if duel stones aren't so "alive" at all now, the loot area is "dead" for sure, cos noone dueling there. If we had that stone close to others , so people could see if someone inside, then maybe they would use it more frequently...
Also what I been thinking that noone of new players ever join duel stones. Even just to spectate. And I refuse to believe that new players aren't interested in PvP at all. So maybe you guys could move the gate to outside that house in pits? So people could see it, and maybe we would see more people there...
I love permanently opened gate in duel pits, its definitely better than when it being opened just for 3-4 hours per day, but I must admit that when gate was in the middle of the pits people entered there, just to take a look whats going on at duel stones.... Also maybe you guys should stop opening free duels? Cos they just ****ing up non-free stones, since why new players would ever risk money/spend supplies/hunt for items if they can get fun for free? Seriously, everything besides ganking is autosupplied now. Tours, duels... I remember on XUO new players had to spend ALOT money to understand what this pvp about:/

Yes at XUO people "risked it" when they entered the loot arenas, but at IN-X most people whom do not duel 24/7 like we did at XUO may not know exactly which stone that does what, and may loose the items by "accident" ;/ However even if they does loose their item because they "risked it" doesnt really mean that its for the best of the shard, since even back at XUO when people "risked it" some of them decided to quit when I killed them in full loot ;p

Anyways, I think its better to have the gate out in the open too so that people can see where it is, and yes they do enter more often that way, but at the same time the gates out there is like "event gates" or gates that are only there temporary, so we cant really have it there 24/7 =/ But yes, I prefered that too for activity reasons.

Anyways, this new arena that we'll be making will probably have arenas close to each other so that ppl can see where others are, probably something like the one we had at XUO, but perhaps without the loot arenas (not sure yet).

We'll see :]

Hate I don't think many people got confused and entered the 1v1 loot by accident. Wasn't it called something like '1v1 full loot' or something clear like that?


Anyways, that's old news so it doesn't really matter now. What we can do to avoid people getting confused is make a yes/no gump so when someone double clicks the loot stones (not all stones, just the loot ones) they get a pop up saying 'WARNING: You are about to enter a full loot area and the opposing player may loot all your items if you lose. Click yes to enter the area or no to cancel (chicken shit!)'. lol

Or a simpler option is use blue walls around the non loot areas and red around the loot one so people see there's a difference, or put up a sign. This avoids any confusion at all.
