Hi Everyone, MapleRoyals will be going through a server check which will last for approximately 1 Hour. Tuesday 23/07/13: 21:00 ACT (Canberra) Tuesday 23/07/13: 12:00 BST (London) Tuesday 23/07/13: 08:00 BRT (BrasÃlia) Tuesday 23/07/13: 07:00 EDT (New York) Tuesday 23/07/13: 06:30 VET (Caracas) Tuesday 23/07/13: 04:00 PDT (California) Reason for server check: "GodlyItems" added. (Chance of equips dropping from monsters with up to 5 extra stats on it's current stats) Droprate reduction to 3x drop. (Trial) Brawler/Marauder/Buccaneer "High Damage" d/c fix "Attacking while dead" d/c fix. AP Fix for new characters because of 4/4/4/4 9 AP added to all characters created after source change due to above bug. Please do not attempt to log into the game until the server check is completed. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by the server check.
I like most of it... but uh firstly the rate change is not the one you suggested, and also it seems like most of the server was against it...
David, options 2 and 3 can be counted both towards change, if anything it was a tie giving Matt the final say. However, like you said 2x wasnt what was suggested but fine with me. Regardless,its just a trial.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would go with what you originally suggested, a trial of 3x drop - you didn't ask us if we wanted a trial of 2x drop.
Game up, report any issues here or in the bug tracker, thanks. Gotta get ready for going to London for a week now...
Well the 2x was a typo sorry... it was like 7am for me lol. And the 7+6 = 13, the same the actual no votes. But half the people that voted for no change did actually change their mind but were unable to change their vote. And some people just did it because well... like somebody smegaphoned... "no because no" which isn't a very constructive reasoning for voting no. So theoretically the majority voted for change. Don't think there was really a need to get the 'picture proof'. I know what the poll states and what the voting results were... >_<
Npzorz! =) I'll give you feedback on the new rates when I've had chance to thoroughly test them. Hope you have a nice time in London - you should be just about missing the full blast of the heatwave, although it's still going to be very warm.
so I grinded on pepe's for one hour at Hidden Street: The Crown-Flyer and my drops where: ~2k nx, 3 gacha tixs, 3 ap resets, and only one red katana. This seams really messed up to me
I am open to feedback regarding the droprate change of course. The point was to reduce the amount of equips which are dropping and to make equips worth actually selling in the freemarket rather than just leaving them lying on the ground or NPC'ing them. The droprate change did not effect the custom drops as they use a completely different system. I can reduce these if people think they are too much. I can confirm that red katanas do have quite a rare drop rate in comparison to the other equips that are dropped by pepes. I can only assume this is done purposely. The droprate chance for red katanas at pepes and all other mosnters apart from bosses is 8000 which means a 1 in 2666 chance. Which I guess does seem a little too high possibly.
bossdroprate is still 3x and has not been changed. Are people finding it is just certain items or monsters that the droprate may need manually adjusting for? I did some testing on the test server with a few different types of monsters. For example skelegons dropped approximately 5-7 equips per 100 monsters, and the godly item rate seemed to be approximately 1 in 10-15 equips there.
Much to my surprise, I'm so far finding the 3x drop rate + chance of "godly" gear an improvement on 5x drop rate without the "godly" gear. Inventory doesn't fill up so fast and more of it is worth keeping/selling.
