Silkroad Online Forums

I thought of something before .. they had this in another game i played before.
It wud be called "random events" .. its basically a 2-3 minute event of maybe a puzzle or an easy problem so bots can't solve ... the more random events and different problems their is the more chance of it working for example..something has to do with colors,numbers,matching,ordering,naming,imitating, ... stuff that only a player can do but not a bot and if not solved correctly it wud log out the account or dc's the charachter. I hope someone gets what i mean.

OMG You people need read more, for every dollar a person made a post about bots I would be rich by now.


I DON'T KNOW WHAT GETS MORE OLD, BOTS KSing OR YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Time to get over this shit already, you can't fix it and by complaing wont change a damn thing!

Ok so I started to play Silkroad and I found the #1 problem are these "gold" botters that are online 24/7 hunting monsters making it impossible to level. My idea is to bring in a new Stamina system(name could be changed) and this is how it would work, you would start with like 48 hours or 72 hours of stamina or whatever and just like a gold ticket works when you are hunting monsters the stamina time drains away. Once you reach 0 stamina you will get 0 exp from monsters, and in order to bring the stamina back up you simply log off or open a stall or something and like every 2 minutes brings back 1 minute of stamina. So regular players can still hunt for 8 hours a day and be logged off or stalling for the rest and it would not be a problem. The gold botters who are online hunting all the time will simply run out of stamina and never be able to gain enough exp to go hunt the harder monsters keeping them where they are at. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I think it could fix the problem, please leave any other suggestions.

EDIT: After someone runs out of stamina the monster will stop dropping gold and loot all together.

The best way to stop them leveling is to quit the game. If everyone quit, they will go.

fail.

didnt read the rest of the comments so, sry if this had been responded.

You're in a party, tanking Medusa,then WHOOPS goes the cleric into this "event" and voild 2-3 mins party dead. Cleric comes back just to face Medusa alone, bam dead.

That only worked on Runescape cause there' no party system.

4. make trading the main source of gold instead of grinding

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

good good , but how?

Make Mobs Drop Less Gold, Like atleast 20% less gold, and some Jobbing updates, like when Trader/Hunter/Thief Reaches better Job Level s/he is able to buy better job items.

This. and fixed

But making jobbing the only source of gold is a problem. Some guy lvl100 will kill all the low levels, and thats just gay. If they made jobbing the main income they would have to make it where you can only protect/rob people like 5lvls within yours.

Fixed again. What tiger, or sand worm, or yeti, or mangyang, or spider do YOU know of that walks around the land carrying a sack of gold? I've never seen this in real life. Why should mobs in the game carry gold? They can't enter town to buy goods or services can they? Mobs should be there for grinding exp and sp, not for gold.

Maybe they should also give you exp/sp for PVP (job or cape). After all, you're 'practicing' your skills to beat an opponent (whether mob or player) so why not actually gain experience or refine your skills from it? Gain exp for killing someone in PVP, lose exp if you die. I guess they could have separate arenas or something for 'no risk' PVP.

Jobbing should be where the gold is at. The more difficult the job is, the more gold you get if you succeed. They can take several factors into consideration:

How many stars is the trade you did (or robbed)?
How many hunters were protecting the trade?
How many thieves attempted to (and failed) to rob you?
How far across the map did you travel, through what lands?
etc...

At the end of the trade run, or trade robbery, the game can calculate how 'difficult' it was and reward you accordingly, rather than just give you x amount of gold for x amount of trade goods sold to the NPC.

i couldn't read all of it cuz im going now.. xD
so.. i only read in bold

OnT: because its a game.. how u want to get suns and such? u are like deleting a big part of the game.. xD

Yes grinding (for gold and exp) is a big part of the game, but people complain about that part of the game and a majority of the people cheat and skip over that part. Joymax has (at least tried to) center the game around the Triangular Conflict system. Because of that, they should make that system more rewarding. They should make that the main source of various things in the game, like gold and exp, so more people will take part in it... instead of just sitting on horses until lvl 90+.

Mobs can still give something, maybe alchemy materials or something, but they shouldn't be your main source for gold and gear.

Sun drops perhaps can continue to come from mobs, or come as rare rewards for certain types of trade runs or thief jobs.

u should work as a gm.. xD..
