Silkroad Online Forums

saw a lot of interesting ideas so ill have to pick and choose some good 1s there and add some of my own.
1. ban bots/gold buyers on a regular basis inclusing player bots
2. active GMs to enforce the ToS
3. change the power of SoX items so that they cannot b more powerful than the 3rd tier weapon in their degree. SoS would = 2nd tier with crit+2. SoM would = 3rd tier crit+3. Sun would = 3rd tier with crit+4, slightly higher bonuses to AR, some blues, and durabilty compared to SoM.
4. decrease the ammount of farming/exp for lvling by an exponential rate rather than a fixed rate
5. fix all current bugs in pvp ie: FW glitch, ctf bufs, etc
6. fw at a resonable time during which the most players r online
7. stack elixers, make elements stackable to 25k
8. cape pvp request, but without cooldown as mentioned earlier
9. raping some1 9 lvls lower than u in capes puts u in lvl 1 murder, 18 lvls lower in lvl 2 murder, etc.
10. guild quests
11. job guilds that can only b seen while in job suits; guild members can only c your alias
12. slight buffs for higher lvl jobs that only show up while under an alias. ie: AR, parry, speed
13. keep job alises for dedicated jobbers that have a 1 week penalty for switching, but remove alises for those that want to switch jobs on the fly. as part of switching on the fly though since they cannot have an alias they also cannot join a job guild or use job buffs.
14. job guild quests
15. increase profit for longer trades, and for bigger ammounts stolen by thiefs
16. lvl 75 & 90 horses/transports made available to every1 with a better bonus for FW holders, perhaps item mall equivalents
17. anyone above 10 lvls of a unique cannot atk it without receiving offender status or 1 lvl murder for the kill
18. change prizes from ctf to things u cant find in the field
19. server wide stall network that gives info on the seller, a PM function and their location
20. 3 channels (eventually 4) per server 1 for each race and 1 mixed
21. fix all skill related glitches
22. fix grammar/spelling mistakes

Well you still could hit the guy lying on the ground, just not knock it back.

And you obviously dont know who you`re talking to

that would take a shit load of server power and bandwith which would cost you a f-ing shit load

Anyone with AOE attacks wouldnt be able to attack. Nukers and Wizards especially would always be in constant murder status.

i'd pick this, except the jobbing things.
and also the Quests, geez talk about " Grind " :S
joymax shouldn't make you kill so much monsters, you get sick of looking at them T_T.
though it does Sugarcoat the fact that you have to grind and get sp from them, plus add more sp quests if not all of them.

and to those saying to increase exp/sp rate?
this is a company, you make money it's reasonable to keep people crippled by a degree.
NOT benefit them all the way, if exp/sp rate was so high then what's the point of being new and admiring the higher levels if you can ( exaggeration ) get to cap FF in few months? you're just thinking as a gamer, NOT as the person behind the finances. True it does make it seem dull to just keep leveling up thus giving way to botted users, but think of how the higher level legits got to where they are now. You'll be slapping the higher level faces now if that got passed.

" you got to where you are now back then? i can do that in less time. "

">> yeah i'd want to see how that game would end up

just ban the bots i dont care bout anything else

more profit for trades
higher lvl trader/hunter/thief=certain buffs
make the sp rate HIGHER then the exp rate. so you can mabey 2gap with 2mastieres the whole way and be FF.
and i think euros wouldnt be so overpowerd if you took away their passives, like isnt it +90% damage for all euro classes when they are lvl 90? take that away or make it like 50% and i think they would be balanced.

I would increase the exp rates per level but decrease the sp rates to the point where a 3 gap till the cap should be enough to FF any build, though make it so a 3 gap is like leveling on a 6 gap.

..... wouldnt that be the same as it is now?

I might have explained it badly.

The problem with this game isn't the leveling, its the sp farming. Most people are happy leveling because they get new gears, new skills.. bonus incentives to keep them going.

Though when it comes to sp farming people absolutely hate it. They are stuck on the same level and gears for such a long time and ussually tempts people to bot. So pretty much eliminate sp farming and increase the exp rate by a fair bit. (increase on the current that we have now )

so make it same amount of time to lvl and lower the sp cost of skills? or increase the amount of sp exp per mob, either way i like it.

Well if you want exact figures.

Increase the exp needed for each level by 40%

Increase the amount of sp gained per mob by 45%

Just how i would like sro to be.

fck the people that say remove euro

1. IP BAN BOTS

Wouldn't that completely ruin euros? The whole idea of them is to buff each other and be able to support each others weaknesses in a group

>_>

It wouldn't ruin them at all. It would Force them to think MOAR and it wouldn't make them unstoppable. Using euros will require more cooperation and skill than before. It makes buffs more important and people will have to have a game plan. Guilds that are Pure European become more important but less common.

My Goal is simple:
Make hybridizing on Chinese profitable.
Make Europeans appeal to the hardcore only. (best of the best)
Make the force tree worth more than debuffs and res.
Bring more skill to the game.

2 European Parties (16 players) should not be able to fight off 90+ Chinese players. That's retarded.

5 is probably to few, 7 sounds better.

No alchemy!
No bots (duh)
Better SP rates.

no alchemy what would your reasoning behind that be?

i would like a different alchemy system maybe something like you only get 1 chance of adding blues or changing white stat.

or instead of stat tablets you have equipment/wep tablets which you can create weps with random stats and you cant change any stats on them if you understand what i mean.

I'd remove SP, make skills buyable only with special points gained from jobbing. Gold stops dropping after lvl 20, so you have to trade/hunt/thief for money. That would make jobbing really part of the game and lvling instead of an activity to do when your bored. If u do a 1* only 1-2 lvl higher can attack you 2* 2-3 lvls 3* 3-4 lvls 4* 5-10 lvls 5* everyone can attack you.

For that to wotk the gain for a 5* has to be a lot higher than that of a 4* otherwise the risk aint worth it.

Hmm yeah, but it still would massively encourage people to job, otherwise you just have low lvl skills

R u stupid or being a noob?
chinese was the origin of silkroad, you dum f*ck

<<Hi. This is your first warning of three. I hope it's your last.>> ~Barotix.

Doesn't mean he has to like the chinese race, right?

1. Make SoX either just for looks or having the SoX non +'able so they wouldn't get retardedly overpowered.
2. Each character starts out with infinite SP or just remove SP so you can lvl up all your skills every level, but keep the amount of masteries you can have the same.
3. Make Gold drop less, so you have to Trade/Theif/Hunt to make money, to keep away gold bots.
4. Fix the events/Make more events.

That would be sweet...

you're too obviously also a newbie if u think that.. the servers are already overcrowded and the capacity is like 2500 - 3000 -.-

____________
1. i would ban you all
2. i would make you all pay 250$ to get ur char back
3. i would raise the item mall prices
4. buy some pimp clothes, especially a white hat with a feather

I wish JM would take notes from this. +1 to the whole post, very good thinking.

delete the sp system so you could click all skills at any lvl, get rid of crazy alchemy or make it easier, ftw

Instead of cutting down the buff amount limit and removing Immolation it would be a lot simpler to totally disable non-job players and job players to buff/ress/anything between them. Just like as they wouldn't be together on the map.

Why remove auto potions? o_O
People would just make potion bots...

it's an obligatory joke http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Over_9000
