Decided to try the pq , stood around for a half hour gave up after finding no one. Came back on 2 hours later stood around for another hour and finally got a full party after a bunch of smegas took about 3 hours because they were a bit slow, 4 pqs and got 2 apples. Parties are insanely hard to find, pq is fun, apple rate is abyssmal even with a 50% increase, bonus stage is too short. And it only makes me want more it's kind of lame Honestly to not be able to do it more than 4 times, and honestly don't feel like playing anymore if this isn't changed. It's a shame that admins are making such horrible decisions for a game that used to be insanely fun. Man this makes me miss old source...
With such short bonus time, and limited APQ, and the fact that now you gotta have everyone in the party not DC... something doesn't add up. It's like you're trying to make us struggle. Yea this APQ limit thing is a bit mad. As stated by someone else here, people are not going to be bothered to travel to Hene just to do 4 APQs and potentially miss out on them coz of DC anyway. Even if you do make it to the end, which is an accomplishment, you have to put up with a reduced rate of apples. And if it's currently like this at 50% increase then... boi. Add another 30 seconds to bonus and raise the PQ limit to atleast make it worthwhile. This only pushes people away from such things.
I love your statement ↑. Something is considered a Bug could be so enjoyable. Can I borrow this statement to my thread?
It would make sense to have APQ 4 times a day if every member didnt have to make it to the end and also the servers connection wasn't a complete mess lmao... PS. someone enlighten me to where the announcement was made that APQ was coming out before the server went down for the patch?
it wasnt announced, but there was RAMPANT speculation that they would try to line up weddings/apq with valentine's day
This all ties into the reason a lot of people dislike this server now, which is that they withhold too much information. I've noticed that we're pretty ill-informed on what exactly is going on in the administration of this server. A few admins have commented on/looked at this post and yet nobody has told us that our opinions are being considered. As it is, the number of people actually working on changes is extremely limited, and I've only really seen Karven making an effort to tell us what's going on. I just hope this thread and its contents don't et buried and forgotten about like many others have before it.
Having the server owner's long suspected ignorant and corrupt character finally exposed, i know i speak for many when i say that as a person who spent countless hours grinding, seeing what has gone on with the administration these past few weeks/months just downright killed the flavor that the game had. Even as someone who owns a mage capable of 1hit petri, and could easily work around the problem, it's just not worth it anymore. If i hadn't felt so let down by someone's inability to process common sense, i would probably be selling leech right now. I don't think i could play this server for an hour without having to bitch about my immense dislike for the server and its administration as a whole. So please, make APQ unlimited, so i can find like-minded people to circlejerk with, about just how much of a shell of former glory this server has become. Because you sure did use atk pots on your BM. /s
THIS! With the server being unstable, I never have 4 runs without someone disconnecting The stages should be changed so that not all 6 members have to be present to continue the run. What began with a limit of 4 runs per day can actually become 2-3 due to the server issues and it's not like people are going to make a post for a refund every time it happens...(because it's too often)
from today, only 2 run could be completed for APQ because of 2 dc in 2 runs yesterday there was 1 dc.. so in 2 days i only did 5/8...
to add my input in onto this: I feel that the current apq is still enjoyable, we don't need unlimited apq to feel the nostalgia for it. what you guys are desiring is a way to make a lot of mesos, that shouldn't be done in apq, go make a fp / make a bossing char to ht or something. the drop rate for apples is really random though, some times in a run I can get 3, sometimes i can get 0. It's all luck based. for a newly started out character, even 1 or 2 apples obtained from frequent apqing is enough to fund them for quite a while. hence no need for unlimited apq to stock up..........for 500 apples to sell for 30m each as an example. Sell leech for mesos if you truly want. The most superior way to earn is still 120m/h leech (I have no idea why the price is that exorbitant) I understand that the admins want to slap taxes onto the servers hence raising the scarcity of stoppers + apples, hence this limit....why not just give it a try for a month and then see how it goes? That being said, my only feedback would be for the +50% drop rate to be permanent as the rate are bad enough already~
i like apq because it is social. onyx apples are good bonus to have so that enough people will do this. leeching is easy too but it's so boring and you are always alone. i think its good to have a way to earn mesoes without making a mage to sell leech.
Why does leeching have to be centerstage? Do you understand how mundane it is? People are here making billions from leeching and people are saying there's too much money circulating and we need meso sinks. So why encourage more leeching? To me, that's dead.
Lol because everyone has 986524 hours to sell leech to get that cash flow right. Who needs to pay bills when M A G E S T O R Y is L Y F E. Also, selling leech is dry af. But that's just my opinion
The point is driven that - there exists a method to make loads of meso. Apq isn't that. If you guys wanted apq extension to be unlimited and having bonus extended to 2min as a way of meso earning rather than nostalgia and community bonding purposes, I find it to be unacceptable. The point of apq of having apples is to incentisize people to do it while having the community bonding together having some time socializing. Making it unlimited dengenerates it to a chore, something that I see similiar to petri leeching. Plus, it helps raise taxes on economy too with apple incr costs
Your point is completely null, some people don't want to play mages and leech in order to make money and some do. Why do we have to focus on an aspect of the game that gives incentive to one part of the player-base when it was previously done before? I don't like playing mages and I shouldn't be forced to do so if I want to earn mesos. If your argument is taxes then here is a little hint. People buying more apples means more money being spent on them which increases the amount of tax that is being absorbed by the server. When in a month people aren't apqing anymore and the fun dies down there are less apples in circulation, not to mention a 50% decrease in how many apples are dropped followed by the 4 limit per day which in turn will drastically increase apple prices leading to less people buying apples hence less taxes being absorbed by the server. Get off your damn high horse and stop kissing Admin ass.
correct. i believe that most of us here are trying to get the nostalgic experience back in 2016 or earlier. However, i agree that 2minutes of bonus+unlimited apq is a little too much to ask for. Hence, i strongly suggest that it should be unlimited+60 to 90seconds of bonus. agree with the first sentence. 2nd sentence is awfully wrong. Selling leech gives me a headache. Spamming apq isnt a chore. APQ is fun (well, at least in the past). I believe that it is unhealthy to sell long hours of leech frequently and it might lead to dementia. Apples do not play a huge role to "raise taxes" since it is just a small percentage and there are more people using mesos to buy AP resets rather than using ws/cs. Besides, you leech sellers are accepting mesos most of the time.
I would like to address a few points which are incorrect in your statement. - Apples will not be less bought because of the price hike, it is compulsory for bosses like HT runs. - I mentioned in my first post in this thread that the 50% buff to be made permanent is appreciated - I still stand by my statement that APQing infinitely to earn mesos is a bad decision. Sure, I appreciate having more of a better drop rate is good (as well as increased timer to maybe 90sec instead of 60), but infinitely to allow people to farm apples for an entire day will definitely NOT help this server in the long term. - lastly, please keep this civil, I'm following a logical way of seeing things here, your way of accusation does not appeal to me greatly, and I will not want to quote you further if this goes even more downhill.
