Hay guys!

This idea is just came to my mind and at the first sight it's reasonable, but the topic was made for a productive conversation.

One of the biggest problems in LS is the lack of newcommers...

For them lot of different type of problems pops up at beginning, but one of the very first ones is the buying the gear.

How newcommers buy their gear?
Whether they rich or not they won't spend too much fg on gear. They start mostly meele. Cheap weapons: club, low ee axes & staff. After they got the gear start to climb and after a few MQ (1 if lucky) pass to samu, where their gear will be useless. Till this time they aren't got to be addict, they just started. May spent all their fg on the gear and in that few climb found not too much. What can they do?
- Climbing as feeder - so boring when you passed to samu already
- Sell their gps - most common, but can't learn anything about teamplay
- Just give up and leave.


If the second class would be paladin rather than samu their gear could be used for longer. They would have more time to enjoy this game, more time to meet friends, more time to find sellable items, more time for start love this game more and turn to be addict.

So my idea: change the position of pala to samu on the ladder!

Any comments are welcome!

Rex clone?

I vote to move Monk from 4 doors so I can pass....

But yes, changing up some of the characters unlocked would be a fun mix

I taking this as "yay".

xDDD

I don't see any harm in this so i voted "Yay"

Although when new members ask me what they should look for in gear i always try to point them in the direction of cheap swords, Swords will get them through feeder Sammy and Paladin, and str gear tends to be cheaper then dex.

No because sword sword sword and medium medium medium can take them to monk already

Definitely an interesting idea though...If anything monk and ninja could be switched so they can keep using swords, there might have to be a rebalance on their stats and skills though

personally not really a fan of just switching classes around. it is age old and classic

updating the portal would be one of the first steps to inform, teach and hold new players . also giving some goodies to beginners ( free/ cheaper vault for x months, better drop quality/quantity for the first 10 climbs, bonus fg for x completed Mqs , etc ...)there is so much the creator could do. Not sure if its the lack of ideas or lack of time to implement such. Maybe its not even worth thinking of beginners since veteran players "bring"more due huge vaults / guild vaults , just someday they will be all gone

I dont have the greatest ideas ever , but for my point of view switching two positions wont really help new players


greetz

We lost too much players/friends already.


Thx for comments guys!

I understand that sword >>>>>> , but tbh they're still too expensive for newcommers with low budget. And @ samu they're f*cked anyways coz dagger or sword... :/

i agree with this. works well with 30-50fg climb builds

this does not affect anything and makes people climb more..there both 3 keys.

yall talk about buying cheap sets, well most people have all the dex gear (new slashers) when they climb.

Voting No

You can get cheap gear sets sure they wont be the best EE but a new player should not have a set with all 100+ ee items unless they have the fg to do so and should try an buy new gear for every 10 lvls instead of every 5. When i first started LS years ago i had to make due with what i could afford off of the Marketplace. Hell an items with 50ee for me was a blessing Im pretty sure my 55 had 65ee an i used that for a long time until i could afford my new mq sword an even now its not crazy good because the vets are running around with 200ee items that make mine look like their their poop lol.

Tbh I feel its more community problems and its not even the community fault people spent 1000s of fg on their gear so they can climb faster so when the new guy comes in with his gear that's under 100ee most people dont wana play with them because the climb will take almost double the time and they could of taken someone else an done 2 climbs over 1. Ik people have done climbs with new people an have taken 4+ hours and its great that they do this from time to time I did one an i felt so miserable after wards because i felt like i was playing the old ladder slasher when it actually took 6+ hours for 1 mq.

I feel the game needs to be more progressive for newer players, you should be able to do 1-2 climbs an get at least 2 small upgrade like maybe put in some kind item reward for a mq

1st mq you get to pick a lvl 1 item also could do this for stat items as well but make it a base number not a varying one

Any wep with 1/3 of the max ee it can roll
Any armor with 1/3of the max ee it can roll
any charm with 1/3 max ee it can roll

after your 5th mq you would get to choose a lvl 5 item an so on this would make the game a little progressive for new players sure they wont have the best gear but you could at least have something to work towards

this was mq sword for years lol

Angelic ultimanium sword
Level Req: 55
Damage: 35 to 353
