Thoughts on Update, and Jeff.

[Relic]

Would like to hear evryones Thoughts on the Update.

Whats going on with Nodiatis, max level 80... ever?!

HUGE exp penalties/gains When training a Stat thats over level 75.

Enrage, Berserk.

Whats up Jeff? are you just stalling or is that it, game over at level 80?

makes the game more challenging. thanks for listening.

Was very disappointed waiting for cap to go up although I never reached it... Finally get word its going up but only to level 70. It gets to level 70 woot another 10 levels ok, but now the word is max is 80 and most likely going to be 80? Unless it takes players years to get to higher mobs? So how many years are we waiting before you consider raising cap to 100? instead of level 80? While there are areas that are 100+, mobs well over 90+. .... Below is what I posted on the 1.96 version update discussion thread, and his response.

You wanted to stop people fighting higher bosses at level 80 how are we supposed to kill 100 bosses with 3 people with enrage etc...

Never underestimate a determined MMO player.

I say this is the worst thing I've ever heard.

These are upgrades that drags game out.

Weeks of grinding grinding grinding to manage to maybe move up one zone.

Nothing new. Same old boring boring boring things over and over again.

I hate that. There is NOTHING worse the a game that is slow.

I want a deacent speed on my advancment, I want to be able to move up a zone evry seccondish level. I want to see all those unfinished zones compleated. I want to see level cap lifted well over 100.

When I made the math and saw this game had zones and areas to a possibilety of level 150 my hearth lifted with joy, thinking this was a game of endless possibileties. And now. We get stone walled. We have put a LOT of money into this game, I see people putting a lot of money in it.

And what do we get? Nothing. Promises of slow boring advancments.
And what happend when I said I thought the current road we're taking is boring? The post get changed to me saying "I'm boring" and I get a warning with the message "Shut up" (exact words)

I say. Please don't kill of a game with this great potential !

This is one of the funniest and best games I've ever played on this world wide wed !

I want to see this game reach is full potential ! Not crashland half way to it's destination!

Everything I've said, everything I want is for this game to be as good as possible.

So I say, Please, make the game to what it can be, don't just stall by slowing game out! becaus honnestly, No One will ever have the time, the money or the will to get what takes to kill a mob 15 levels higher then yourself!

I know there are mobs to level 104 (thanks to rasin trophies on AH showing the level of mob), make more monsters, make more zones, dazzel us with your art and ingenuity in names and designes.

Please Jeff. Please.

I say. Please don't kill of a game with this great potential !

Its pretty much Dead for me now

Yeah, game locked at level 80, thats a real challenge.

This Update seems to be designed to slow the game down, not only for the top players but everyone else. Enrage and berserk at lower levels restrict to the point of being ridiculous the chances of medium players taking on blacks or pinks.
I believe the idea was to slow down the top players if it was put a level cap on Enrage and Berserk or you will find people leaving due to the inability to take on high level mobs by Noobs like me that have'nt got the perfect build.
Yesterday I could kill pinks and blacks today I am being creamed by orange mobs if that is the idea You will have one less player very soon.

[edgecution]

Well i can see alot of people just hit lvl 70 go PK and just quit. Theres nothing left to do. If anyone extends there premuim after lvl 70 they must be plain nuts. Hmmm oh well time to hurry to lvl 70 and quit. Oh yea and the stats over lvl 75 modified completely sucks. Might as well just lvl everything evenly from now on.

Hear Hear! And I don't only speak for myself here, many others agrees I know of two atleast.

Agreed I get my a** handed to me by whites..

[flipynifty]

I'm sure there will be great advancements down the road. Well i hope anyway, but have you ever tried to create something this huge? I haven't, nor have i have the time or energy to put into soemthing like this. Man you spend hours and hours doing work and then everyone complains, you spend more time working, more complaints, pretty soon you just say #### you.

Or not, i dunno, i posted that i was a little dissapointed in the cap being stuck at 80. I was hoping for a lot more ****, maybe another plane.... a game that went on and on for weeks, months, years (if you're slow as mollasses)...

I'm still going to play and still going to enjoy it. Someday i might get bored... but then again, every game gets boring after a while.

one of the things i was looking forward to was the eventual hit to lvl 100 ( been touted since i joined just after the release)

i've already experianced issues with fighting even yellow and orange mobs by trying to do a straight across the board level (jeff kept saying he didn't want glass cannons and yet each patch forces that issue)

so this is now the second thing i've watched imo get nerfed, the first being the pk system that now totally favors the pkker's

the xp penatlies even at 5 lvls with the lvl 20 skills that add pulses don't make up for the losses suffered.

so to say that people are going to find a way around the bezerk(sp) when at 10 minutes it does 100% of it's damage with 20% more each minute after meaning 200% damage at 15 minutes, 300% at 20 mintues etc., these players had already stated the bosses that high over them took over an hour so guess what them getting around beserk ain't happening

these are just my opinions but i will admit i'm more than disappointed

Also Jeff, to tell you the truth, the best way for you, and this will many agree on, to get more money from all of us is. Make more of the game. Keep us intrested, tease us with real news and updates, lift the cap at regual basis, if so only for 1 level / week.

Finish the zones, finish the skills.

Things that would make me wanna play Nod for a longer time.

Finish Strikthrough
Finish Kitting
Finish Blinding Shot
Finish Growl
Finish Language
Finish Recognition

Finish The zones: Rdige Muntain, Faerie Cemetary, Faerie River, Faerie Forest, Draak, Andol, Forest of No Return, River Bridge, Blood Lake, Dungeon of Ruin, Castle Ruins AND Frozen Volcano (might be some more zones I've missed)

Also Increase level cap. It's nothing hard to do but gives us Much Much Much more to look forward to, much more to strive for.

Why do I feel like Jeff just challenged the high levels of the community to find another method of defeating bosses that're much higher than them? I have one word to say as a response. Daze.

[Relic]

Dont start things you cant finish, or handle.

[edgecution]

Well said Ath.

[edgecution]

Hmmm i dont even want to log into the game im so dissappointed =/.

[flipynifty]

Either way, I have no control over what happens, and Jeff is a stronger man than I. If I had people telling me my game sucked they'd be IP banned.

I hope your opinions get listened to with deductive reasoning. Ur all teh greatest!1

[Misguided]

i tend to agree with Flipy.....the patch may have slowed some down...but if you built right at the start(which i didnt) this would not be a problem......i am fighting yellow and orange mobs with the same ease as i was before...granted Jeff should keep goin and goin but even a rabbit will die. So we are upset because we cant fight black mobs....most players wouldnt even try this.

that is all
