OK..i get what you are saying here Nick  .....ADVERTISE!!

Advertise what exactly???

W8 for the next update??

We slashers who have been around a long time WILL w8 for the updates because we have way too much invested not to...new players WILL NOT  :(

As far as advertising goes..you cannot tell people about a game and have them come and slash when they HAVE NO FG AND CAN'T MAKE ENOUGH for better gear!

Sure they can grab some crap items and try to slash but most will give up when they see..they get NO REWARD for their efforts really.  99% of the items they do find

are worthless except as shrinables and they can't find an attraction in the game (ie) making a bit of fg every climb to improve themselves...hence getting kicked from a lot

of games. Some of us have taken people under their wings...helping them climb/donating fg/gear...but it is not enough. Rus asked how we could bring in new slashers

not how the game should be played or whether we should be nice to people. The game as it is now is far better than it was but there still needs to be a way for people

to get attracted to a game and KEEP them playing and THAT is making in-game gold at a far faster rate than 1fging your self to death..That is JUST not enough and people

who say it is are idiots. Why do people rush off to play other games when they reset (ie) d2..so they can MAKE FG.. so they can KEEP playing this one.  Most skillers here make 0 fg from

spending HOURS and HOURS at skillling when other games give rewards for putting in the time. Most slashers here been playing the game for a few years now and we will sit

and w8 for the next update but some even have to start selling good gear JUST to keep slashing. Game play does not need to be altered imo although i am sure there are things

coming that will change that as usually happens in an update.  Give people a NEW way to make some FG so that they are ATTRACTED to the game in the first place and are rewarded for

staying. As far as being nice to others...you know i am  :D


Oh I don't know about the being nice part...

Bring back muting (old school where same 2 items can reroll) or fix the LS economy --- any which way you can

Eliminate Vault/Xfer Costs

Muting skill should add to the chance to spawn a good item (so players with skill still get advantage)

Change the model from Pay to Play to just Fun to Play

Make it so GP's can be used for something --- ANYTHING --- where as they do nothing now B)

this is a very good quote :))

Some of your ideas are very consistent.

Some of you hurt TJ  :(  If you want to be better at this game you must pay more...


What are you even talking about...stick to crying that the game is hard instead of attempting to comprehend me.

I'm not gonna lie, I miss a viable-worth-my-time-way of playing this game solo even with 2 people drops are just ridiculous. The removal of the arena 'as originally intended' has had the biggest impact to my slashing and my want to really slash.

I mean it's fun and all doing 2 hour full guild or proper group climbs, but I prefer to login do a 1-30 in the morning go about my daily routine do a 31-55 and finish it at night, and if I feel like it i'll hop in a group, but not hopping into a group now just makes me feel like I am wasting my time even more than before. I know the game is a waste of time, but it used to be a fun waste of time :)

The whole discussion about having good gear, or not is kinda obsolete in my opinion as it doesn't really matter anymore how good your gear is not to the extend as it used to matter I have a pretty nice reset-set but if I compare my feel of the game playing with someone with mediocre gear say 70-100ee stuff I don't see myself excelling like I used to when I would play arena. Having nice gear is cool and pretty but it's not a necessity anymore.

There is no way to replace a full nice setup if you rip on hc anymore, al though ripping in this version of the game is kinda hard with a good group but still.

I know the common response to this will be, if you don't like it or enjoy it just quit bladiebladiebla... But the players from day1, hc/sc or that have been around for several seasons pre-this update thingy have invested so much either time, money, or both that makes it just a waste to give it up.

Ah well just my 2 cents :)

SO, what your saying is you want to come to softcore! School me and drag me to mq everyday. I always said you were a nice guy on vent.

All of you people crying about how hard it is to make fg, find items, and get good at the game are stupid.

Everybody wants everything to come so fucking easy. It's crazy how many people have managed to succeed when it's impossible.

I like how it works, it weeds out the nerds who don't put in work. It takes time and work to get where you want to be.

Stop making QQ threads and go do work.


This ofc.

Do i have to remind you rus that you in your start found a 2xx ee lvl 45 heal charm that brought you over 40k fg ? If you can be that lucky then everybody has their chance to getting that lucky. And 40k pays the vault fee for a long time :hug:

I was helped by good people but what chance has a new player? I got that drop after more then 50 climbs and this drop is ment to buy like a medium sword set. To actualy make armors and charms and other stuffs you need a hell of a help or a Gods intervention.

It's not a qq thread but one that wants to reveal how can we get more players into this game.
