Didnt read all but I disagree with 2 hours climb. Even if I like it, it doesnt help new commers. Alot of people dont have time to do 1-71 in 4 hours so there would be more player in level 5-70 range. Atm if a new get to level 48, he is screwed cuz no group. People only want 1-71 when it takes only 2 hours. Didnt you see all those cry topics about no groups nowaday?


Exactly.
I was 57 the other day and got denied 4 times in groups remaking at 55, cause only people do 1-71 very fast :(
People also know that if they don't do it, they are screwed.

Bow down to the owner of the best LS Item ever. I fucking envy you man. It amazes how well people let you troll them.



That is how it works sometimes. I can see the sentiment that you should be able to maintain enough fg to expand playing a game.

But it really isn't that bad to do different things to supply other hobbies.

People work jobs to do their hobbies.

That's exactly how I treat LS. It brings me fun, so I don't care about that whole economy thing that much. If it bothered me that much I just wouldn't play this game.
I agree also on this:

You know the biggest problem with getting new people to play this game? It's a flash game where you simply click the screen the entire time. There's no substance. No storyline or real quests (If you want to count objectives, I guess, but Explore the maze and Mirror Maze is the only objective you have power over getting). The coolest part of the entire game is when you're walking up the steps to get to the door and drop down a key. I've had maybe 3 friends make JSP accounts and try to play LS with me, and all have said they'd rather play WoW, LoL, or something different. It's a special kind of person that can play this and stick with it.


btw, the same idea occurred to me

Oh nice you got jokes bro

If I can make 750k fg on this forum and not invest a dime I'm sure it's hard to make 10k and be sufficient in LS.

Shit is fucking difficult.

Replace all monster pictures with that of naked women!! :rofl:

JUST KIDDING!

In all honesty, I would say the best way to get people playing ladder slasher (whether its new people or old school slasher's) is to let Paul release another mind blowing update.

If there is one thing that has been consistent in Ladder Slasher since its release, it is change.

The LS community has ALWAYS shrank and grown. It will continue to happen because not everyone is the same and you can only appeal to the masses so much before it pisses another group of people off.

I think once Paul get's closer to where he is going with the game (which I am sure is beyond our grasp as he always introduce's something that was never suggested, even if its a small something) that more people will come back to/start playing the game.

Just a opinion though. I am one voice amongst thousands.

hrm, such a long thread
i dont know if i am repeating myself or someone else

1 - new players cannot participate in the 2 hour climbs due to lack of gear and there for get kicked
2 - this game now costs more to play than u can feasibly make
3 - anyone who's group doesn't make it to mq, may as well reroll
4 - i don't want to play d2/poker/whatever , i want to slash more
5 - after tons of slashing for what seems forever, i still haven't gotten a 100+ ee item
6 - even if i was to continue spending $ for FGz, the updates have cost me more than a hobby has the right too
7 - do we really want to influx this game with 100s and 100s of new , poor, players?

i dunno

i play this cause i like it
but it has become pay to play
imagine a new playe to jsp
starts LS
needs 300 for an mq sword
500 in gear
and evens out to 1k to even say that they can grind it out alone
as thy will get kicked from every group they find that could be capable of carrying them to mq?

and then say "stick it out kiddo?"

fat chance

There is so many people with bad attitudes and behavior problems, even if this game was advertised on other websites, people would not be attracted to the game enough to stay here.
Yes we all think the forums are fun the way they are... But Honestly if I was a father I wouldn't want my children to read or see the things posted on these forums, allot of things need to be cleaned up!
I know that I cant shelter my children forever but even with children aside, personally I have grown very sick of the stuff that has been swimming around in these forums and ls community. The game itself is very fun but when party playing in open games whether you are a new player or old player you will run into so many people with less than tolerable behavior and yes the answer is to just not play with them but one has to wonder why are they able to flame and act nasty in game without getting warns or anything. I just think that if the environment on ls and ls forums was more welcoming as a whole then things would get allot better around here.

Now that my 2 cents has been added... Thanks for reading :lol:
