You probably don't remember, but back in "The Maze" we used to farm NM catacombs together I believe
I think if it would spawn once a climb (on a quest level like shamans) that would already be an upgrade

I do remember how we farmed it when I were in "the maze" I dont remember u being there with us tho , that's cool tho
Yeah, back then there was alot to farm, ambush had a spawnrate every 3-5min depending on how fast the driver was and NMNM was fun to farm, all u needed of a maze was ~30-40% explored and it would most likely pop up.
Shortly after he added, bits and pieces, Swarm & 4 corners and it was hard enough doing all those back then in time to farm them at all.

Ppl used to farm ambush for whites, and i think he removed whites from being able to spawn from EVERYTHING but shamans and hack the horde? and no EP wave could drop them any longer.

Any way to farm items easier would make ppl come back for sure, question is, do you see that happening? Maybe he'll add a quest that will have even better drops than NMNM, but would that quest be "farmable"
would u have to do other pre-quests just to enable it? will it be something that spawns in a lvl 70+ maze. It would have to be harder to find, but still worth it.

Tbh, I think what we were saying before about getin rid of t1-t3s as we level up it would help, as long as the drops keep on coming and not just go away completly.

yeah, from what I see things are not balanced but only removed and removed or nerfed of course (no maze catacombs, arena, quests, life per attack, life per kill, life steal, heal mastery ...)

I think an overall improvement is the well, and the fish buff that happened at some point really made fishes worth using, that's to be said on the positive side

i aggre with u..

just a little thought about old arena:
if you would add the possibility to whistle higher lvl monsters in solo games (like +5 or +10 lvls) and add a Monster Chain Counter, you would allready have the old arena if you increase the exp/profs/drops in that harder scenario depending on the counter of the chain

but as i read from you guys. i would defenitely like the combination of:

1) increase of the quest spawn to be able to farm (whites + magical+ items)
1a) --> sellable whites
1b) --> eventually reworked muting, so that you still have a skill that you profit from but more players have an easier access to high lvl muting
1c) --> little improvement of drop quality (not too much to have too many drops but a bit to have a few drops) --> this could be decreased a bit later on IF there WOULD be more people playing


and another note:
i like how this topic turned out with alot of ideas and nice conversations about possible changes

as much as some people might hate one another on the forum, I think we sort of all agree that people would be happier playing if there were a couple fixes that adjusted the game to its current player base and maybe "opens its gates" for new players

I'm pretty sure my idea won't happen ofc, but if a really big update would happen in the future, like v2.0 ( ), then Paul or Kevin would send a pm with the informations to all people on jsp who ever reached at least 1 guild point like:

"Ladder Slasher Version 2.0 is released, come and try it!"

"These are the most important new things:
-
-
-
- "


This thing would INCRASE sooo badly the player base, lot of players would come back and try and stay. We wouldn't have any problem with the player base, maybe for years.

TLDR

my opinion is to make finding group quests the ideal climb, rather than just whistling to 71. something along the lines of making quests only spawn once per character per climb, and actually giving out decent bonuses for completing such quests.

And maybe making all quests (except mirror maze) achievable until 71
Four corners becomes available at 25 if I remember correct, but who did it at 25?
