Silkroad Online Forums

Well i am a new player. There's quite a few things i found about this game that would make the average new player quit. I was wondering if the more experienced players would tell me why these things are kept in the game.

Note: I just wanted to restate that I am new to the game, the issues i am talking about could probably be avoided if i knew the game better. But i know quite a few people who would quit the game over things like this and with games like this isn't the goal to keep new players?

1. Why can't you reverse tele after level 20?

Is there a real point to making a cut off? I love playing wizard, high damage huge aoes, but when your warrior has a stupid moment or if you are soloing and a party mob/gaint pops up on you, you die pretty quickly. Personally playing today i died 10 times from things like that, it was completely tolerable in lower levels when i could tele but after 21 spending that much time walking back to a spawn gets annoying. Yes I know about rev but i rarely find someone to rev me.

2. Is there a better system to get the type of people u need in a party with you?

Well since i am a wizard a good trio for me to grind with is a cleric and warrior. Is there a feature in which i can make a party and look up the players who are looking for a party and are of that build? If there isn't why not? Isn't the entire European side made for parting? Shouldn't it be easier to find the type of people u need for these parties?

3. The mountains...

When i was playing Chinese i would sometimes fight mobs near mountains or follow a mob up one to kill it. Or just try to cross over one instead of going around. Why is it when i get to the top its like a friken maze of clicking on the right spot to get down even if i try to retrace my steps? Why can't we walk over them normally is there a point to it? You can't say to make it realistic because nothing in this game is slightly realistic.

sounds like you play too much wow

1. Because it's only for noob players that die a lot^^... you shouldn't be dieing so much after 20, use the charged wind skill to knockback the monsters then run if you feel you will die..
by the way.. did you mean to actually walk back to your grinding place..? you can buy horses at stables in each town which are much faster than walking if you didn't know.

2. Well.. you can press E and form a party with a title of "share party at crabs need ____" and hope that someone will join you, but there aren't a lot of players that play at low levels anymore.. it's mostly powerleveling.

3. You'll get use to that and know if you can walk over it or not if you continue playing, there's lots of realistic elements to the game, for example all or most places are real places.
And you can't exactly have a player walking up and down a 75 degree angle.. that'd be dumb.

Oh shit you didn't even mention the bots, lag or bugs. You've got a ways to go complaint wise.

The WOW world map is like 100x bigger then ours. in silkroad you have to fight to get a spot in roc mountain.

If i follow yyour logic, i could ask "why we don't pass freely throught walls and threes"... and if you can get on every mountine, were's the pont of hiding in trades for example?

About the teleport- you should really learn how not to die so often
When i started there wasn't any teleport, even for the 1-20 lvl players...
So i was walking around a lot (yep, walking, horses were too expencive)

Wow, you're complaining about that?

When i started playing, almost 3 years ago, there was no teleport when you died, no auto res under level 10, no auto share parties. You were on your own.

Compared to most of the 'old' players, you have it easy.

As for dying, learn how to use your pots correctly, learn where to grind and at what level mobs and you should never die, even as a wizard.

Seriously now you guys are so pampered. You guys get a free gold ticket and silver ticket. Back then we had those 6 hours of hardcore grinding rather then getting free tickets.

Old School = Hardcore

Yeah, and no Premuims or SP tickets either. It was just luck to login and then a very long grind.

I hate people complaining about the game in its current state, when they have no idea how it used to be. New players have such an easy ride now.

Seriously, back in the days with wrist supporters from SP farming at bandits. Now a days you sit your lazy a$$ in a horse and can go afk for a few hours before you have to delevel, which most are too lazy to do so they just keep a gap as they level.

Haha I cant agree more!

Or they plvl themselves. That's what I did with friends. Everyone plvls a few hours.

I was soo poor when I started playing, no money for pots. After i killed a few tigers I have to sit and res to regain my HP. I do that for weeks. I didn't know how to alchamy till lv 50s lol
